Men -who have to do difficult and
dangerous work on electric lines nt any
hour of duy or night cant afford to have
anything tho matter with their health
said Mr Douovau You can imagine
therefore how much I was alarmed one
winters day in 1902 when I was seized
by a pain just behind my right hip that
made it difficult for mo to walk home
It was so bad by tho timo I reached tho
house that I was obliged to go straight
to bed
Did that relievo you
No tho pain grew moro severe and
kept extending downward along my leg
I sent for a physician and ho soon de
cided that I had sciatica In a few days
tho wholo nerve was nffected and the
least movement brought on terrible
agony
Did your condition improve under
tho doctors treatment
Quito tho contrary At th9 end of
two mouths I wasnt a bit better and at
times I feared that I wrould never bo
able to leave my bed
How did you get out again
When I was lying in bed unablo to
move and wasting away in flesh a friend
visited mo and told me about tho won
derful cures brought about by a great
blood and nerve remedy Dr Williams
Pink Pills He strongly urged mo to try
them and I luckily had sense enough to
take his advice
Did you mend quickly
Yes that was tho astonishing thing
I noticed a slight improvement beforo I
had quite finished tho first box of tho
pills I could get out of bed while I was
on the third box and I was entirely
cured by the time I had taken five boxes
Mr Joseph A Donovan is living at

Williams Pink Pills are the remedy to
use when the blood is thin asiu anosmia

Scattered Kindness
There are lives of wearisome mono

words of sympathy can make more en

Order to the National Guard
LINCOLN May 30 Memorial Day
Is to bo observed as usual in Ne
braska Adjutant General Culver of
the Nebraska National guard issued
the following order
The annual recurrence of Memorial
day reminds us of the passing years
and the increasing distance that meas
ures the time between the past and
the present
Forty years span the intervening
space since taps was sounded at the
burial of those who fell on the battle
field of the last armed conflict of the
war of the rebellion
The army of the dead is being rein
forced each hour from the ranks of the
survivors until those who answer
Here are but the fragment of that
splendid army that decided that this
nation should be kept undivided and
its honor maintained unsullied
It is fitting that the citizen soldier
should march to tho bivouac of the
dead with garlands of flowers and
participate in the solemn rites of the
day set aside in honor of the heroic
deeds and sacrifices of those who have
answered the last roll call
Every member of the Nebraska Na
tional guard should consider it a priv
ilege and an honor to report for duty
on this occasion and each company
commander is directed to tender the
services of his command to the Grand
Army of the Republic and to co-operate
with the local committee at the
home station in the proper observance
of May 30
The flags on the armory and all pub

JAPANS GOSPEL OF WORK
Wealthy Youth Devote Themselves to
Useful Pursuits
The secret of Japans wonderful
success said a globe trotter lies
perhaps in this Whereas the richest
and best born and most powerful of
other nations young men give them
selves over to frivolity and idleness
the flower of the young men of Japan
work work work In the pleasure
cities of the world at Monte Carlo
in Paris in Algiers in Ostend in
Cairo you will find young grand
dukes from Russia young baronets
and lords from England all gambling
motoring ski ing yachting dining and
what not But do you find among
them I dont mean now only but ever
have you ever seen among them any
of the young princes and earls and
millionaires of Japan No indeed
Those young men have been working
in our universities working in our
machine shops working in our chemi
cal laboratories working working
How well this speaks for Japans
future What a warning it is to the
rest of the nations of the world For
if this noble energy continues in the
youth of Japan from the lowest to
the highest one of two things will
happen either Japan will far outstrip
the other nations or else the other
nations young men too from the low
est to the highest will have to aban
don their sports and their dissipations
and turn themselves resolutely to la

Italys Industrial Advance
Not many people in the United
States are fully aware of how rapidly
Italy is advancing in industrial impor
tance In some way northern Italy
has in the last ten years shown as
promising development in an indus
trial way as is to be found anywhere
in Europe The never failing water
supply of the snow topped mountains
is being utilized by the electrical en
gineers in a way which promises to
convert northern Italy into a great in
dustrial state Nowhere in Europe is
there a population better fitted to aid
in an industrial development The
people are dexterous quick to learn
and industrious and up to the present
time the general wage scale compares
favorably with that of any competitors
which they have to meet The result
of these favorable conditions has been
for instance the development of the
silk industry at a rate which sounds
like statistics of American indus
trial growth Scribners

drink

HOTBEDS OF CONSUMPTION
Penal Institutions in Many States Proved to Be
Breeding Places of Tuberculosis
It is the duty of the state to protect
its citizens even those condemned to
pass a term of years in jail The dan
ger to the inmates of prisons from
pulmonary disease has only lately
been realized A short time since a
man who had served a sentence in
the Ohio penitentiary declared that
to send him back meant death by
tuberculosis Inquiry Avas made The
head physician announced that the
building was a hotbed of consump
tion A prominent official stated that
a ten years sentence was equivalent
to condemning a man to death by
pulmonary tuberculosis
Dr S A Knopf the greatest Ameri
can authority on tuberculosis was in
vited to visit tho penitentiary With
out hesitation he pronounced it the
most unsanitary penal institution he
had ever seen
The output of many prisons is
enough to convince of the truth of the
above statements The sallow com
plexions weakened bodies sunken
chests of the ex convicts all are the
stamp of murderous prison hygiene
All the rules for combatting the great
white nlague are reversed For sun
light they are given darkness for
fresh air a damp musty atmosphere
for out-of-door life a weary in door
grind a large part spent within the
narrow confines of a single cell
Is it not enough to take from a fel
low being his liberty and appropriate
the labor of his hands without forc
ing him to live under such conditions
Dare the state continue to condemn
any of its citizens to such a death
Shall the sentence in a public prison
cease at its legal expiration or shall
the poor victim continue to suffer
from its dire effects until he fills a
consumptives grave
In this day of Anti Tuberculois
agitation it would seem that public
institutions whether asylums schools
prisons or assembly halls should be
the first to be brought under proper
sanitary conditions It is useless
hopeless to educate the masses in re
gard to the cure and prevention of
tuberculosis and then maintain at
public expense hotbeds for the de
velopment of consumptives to be fin
ally turned loose in the community
The Tonic Use of Water
Cold water is the universal tonic
The best time for taking a cold bath
for tonic effect is just after getting
cut of bed in the morning when the
body is warm A cold bath should
never be taken when one is chilled
One not accustomed to cold bathing
should begin carefully with water not
colder than 75 deg F The bath should
be short not to exceed a minute and
for feeble persons not more than fif
teen or thirty seconds when applied
to the whole surface The bath
should be immediately followed by
rubbing and exercise for fifteen to
thirty minutes There should always
be good reaction that is the whole
surface including the hands and feet
should quickly become warm The
Lath should not be followed by lan
guor headache lassitude or other in
dications of excessive reaction When
one experiences such symptoms the
indication is that the bath was too
long or too cold or not followed by
sufficient exercise For feeble very
joung or elderly persons the water
used should rarely be lower than G5
degrees to 75 degrees in winter The
bath should be taken in a suitably
warmed room
As We Live We Are
If we look down then our shoulders
stoop If our thoughts look down
then our character bends It is only
when we hold our heads up that our
body becomes erect It is only when
our thoughts go up that our life be
comes erect
Physiology in English Public Schools
Sixteen thousand English physi
cians have signed a petition request
ing Parliament to inaugurate syste
matic instruction in the public
schools of Great Britain in relation
to the preservation of health especi

this petition will be granted
Slaughter of the Innocents
A study of statistics reveals the ter
rible fact that nearly one half of all
the human beings born into the world
die before the age of five years In
the city of Stetten Germany nearly
one half 473 out of every thousand
die during the first year of their lives
In Ireland Scotland Norway and Swe
den where children are given better
care have more outdoor life and
more intelligent attention is given to
feeding the number of deaths is only
one fiftieth as many as in the city
of Stetten being ten per cent
Physicians are coming to recognize
that the use of cows milk which is
infected with the germs of tubercu
losis is one of the most active of
all the causes of death among young
children This should be remem
bered in the artificial feeding of in
fants The milk should either be
boiled or well scalded before being
fed to the infant This rule should
be universally observed for adults as
well as for children and if applied
will save thousands of lives annuallv
A Safety Valve
In the Ladies Home Journal a
writer tells of an interesting visit
which he paid when a boy to the j
Autocrat of the Breakfast Table
After breakfast Dr Holmes took the
boy into a basement room which was
fitted up as a complete carpenters
shop and gave him the following ad
vice which he considered would be of
more value to him than anything ho
had ever written
You know I am a doctor and this
shop is my medicine I believe that
every man must have a hobby that
Jo as different from his regular worlc
as it is possible to be It is not
good for a man to work all the time
at one thing So this is my hobby
This is my change I like to putter
away at these things Every day I
try to come down here for an hour or
so It rests me because it gives my
mind a complete change For whether
you believe it or not he added with
his inimitable chuckle to mako a
poem and to make a chair are two
very different things
Now if you think you can learn
something from me learn that and
remember it when you are a man
Dont keep always at your business
whatever it may he It makes no
difference how much you like it Tho
more you like it the more dangerous
it is When you grow up you will
understand what I mean by an out
let Every man must have an out
let a hobby that is in his life and
it must be so different from his regu
lar work that it will take his work
into an entirely dilferent direction
We doctors call it a safety valve
and it is I would much rather con
cluded the poet you would forget all
that I have ever written than that you
should forget what I tell you about
having a safety valve
For a Cold
The daily cold bath is one of the
irost effective safeguards against
taking cold Of equal importance is
abundance of fresh air in the sleep
ing apartment Upon the first symp
toms of a cold deep breathing ex
ercises in the open air or in a well
ventilated room should be taken at
frequent intervals In nearly all
cases where this simple treatment is
taken there will be no further de
velopment of the cold and the symp
toms will disappear A doctor con
nected with a large institution for
children recently tried this method
ipon the inmates with surprising suc
cess
There is nothing he writes
more irritable than a cough For a
time I have been so full- assured of
this that I determined for one min
ute at least to lessen the number of
coughs heard in a certain ward of
the hospital of the institution By
the promise of rewards and punish
ments I succeeded in having the chil
dren simply hold their breath when
tempted to cough and in a little while
I was myself surprised to see how
some of the children entirely recov
ered from the disease
Let a person when tempted to
cough draw a long breath and hold
it until it warms and soothes every
air cell and some benefit will soon
be received from this process The
nitrogen which is thus refined acts
as an anodyne to the mucous mem
brane allaying the desire to cough
and giving the throat and lungs a
chance to heal
