Considering these facts , one must bo
impressed with the exceedingly nar

exists on tills planet. A few degrees

phenomena wo call life would coaso.and
a blankness of which we can form no

such a world wo are reminded of

Evil Influence of Drink.
I hesitate to stijto that alcohol tnkoi
freely lowers the body temperatur
lest snme one sel/e this us an exciis
jfor drinking In the honied lerm It I
true , however , that alcohol red noes ill
body temperature and H therefore
d-ingc-rous drink lu cold weather Bu
it does not follow that alcohol is ind :
cated In hot weather. Alcohol Is a
anaesthetic aud depressant , lesseuin
the bodily resistance to disease aud s
affecting the nervous system that it I
peculiarly vulnerable to heat stroke ;
or thermic fever as well as to grl |
pneumonia and other cold weattii
maladies.
During the heated term it Is wise t
keep out of annoying conferences an
disputes. Heat Induces a peculiar !
sensitive and Irritable condition , whic
! s aptly described by the phrase "ca
eying n chip ou one's shoulder. "
Dressing For the Weather.
Some persons arc guided by the en
endnr Instead of the thermometer :
the matter of clothing. During mode
ate winter weather they are ovcrdrcs
ed. and In extreme hot weather th (
continue to wear clothing adapted
temperate summer heat.
The wisest plan Is to dress especial
for the weather. Wo should ha
extra light clothing for torrid wentlu
Just as we should have extra hem
outer clothing for blizzard weather.
Lightweight and light colored clot
Ing la most healthful when the he
nnd humidity are exceaalvo. The e

occasional .sillily starched shirt bosom
may be noticed
I.OOHO. light colored , porous clothing
will exert n marvelous Influence for
ciiinfort. The money wasted In futile
iittetupts to quench thirst would be
heller expended on a linen suit anil
linen mesh underwear.
On the other hand , neck mulllors
iiml heavy furs worn during moderate
winter weather simply Invite colds.
grll > and pneumonia by rendering the
wearer unduly dependent on such gar
ineniH. Furthermore , during moderate
we.itlier heavy furs are a burden and
Induce fatigue and depression. Com
mon sense should be exercised In such
inn Hers and due allowance made for
Individual peculiarities of constitution
Old people ami Invalids may require
extra protection against cold , but the
average Individual should endeavor to
become adapted to the wearing of
medium weight clothing for ordinary
winter weather and take extra precau
tions when "blizzard" weather Is to be
faced.
Dnthincj nnd the Weather.
Thu dnliymoriilng shower or plnugo
will brace the nervous system for thu
ordeal of a hot day ; likewise It will
give poise to the circulation and de
velop u ri'slstauce to cold weather perils
of grip , bronchitis , etc. A tepid bath In
( he evening will often prove refreshing
nnd soothing. A cold bath at night
may prove exciting rather than cool
ing and restful.
Children should not bo allowed tc
paddle around In the water with hcnd-i
exposed to the sun. A sea dip Is good
for them , but they should not be per
mitted to piny around the water ifii-
less their tender llttlo brains are well
protected from the sun's rays. Cool
feet and hot head make n bad combina
tion.
Restful Sleep Necessary.
Ilestful sleep Is very necessary to re
store the nervous system exhausted by
prolonged hot weather. Late supper.-
and indiscretions In eating and drink
ing are often responsible for disturbed
sleep. Cure In this regard Is especially
necessary when the heat and humldllj
. ire extreme.
A tepid tinth. before retiring will

Diet and the Weather.
It is nut wise to starve oneself it :
lot weather. I'.ut there is little riali
if this happening In prosperous Amer
ca. The fact that thu poor of Indli :
ire starved for fats aud proteids Is IK
> roof that any considerable nuinbei
of people In this country are underfed
On the contrary , the average Ameri
can family probably cats too mucl
most of the time nnd especially during
he heated term.
If much exercise is taken a fairl.s
generous diet will be required to sup
) ly energy and rcpnir tissue waste , l !
i pretty quiet physical existence Is le <
i light diet Is the rational course
rccn vegetables should have the
preference over meat. Milk is not i
; oed hot weather food for nil nduli
mil should bo withdrawn from the
child or Infant at the first sign ol
jewel trouble. Soda fountain drinks
ire belter than beer or gin fi/.zos , bui
water is the- best thirst quencher.
In the cold weather the proportiot
of fats and starches , which arc hen
mil energy producers , may be In
reused. Milk Is n moro valuable fooi
n cold weather than lu hot wenlhei
mil is less likely to be contuminntei
y germs in winter season. It is no
in Ideal food for the average adult
itiwever , who should be able to secim
sulllelenl tat from the elements of t
mixed diet. It should be borne It
mind that there Is a close relatlonsliii
between constipation _ and intestiun
loxemia and susceptibility to colds

ler troubles.
i * I have stated , alcohol Is not a ren
fond at any lime , and In the white
time it distinctly lowers the resistanc
to such ellM-uses as pneumonia , cell
umptioii. bronchitis , etc.
The Ice Water Habit.
Ice water is not only harmful i :
checking digestion nnd dilating th
stomach , but Ice often contains germ
01 their spores , which when taken Int
the system raphlly multiply. tc

Heat Stroke and Exhaustion.
Sunstroke , heat stroke or therm !
fever is generally caused by alcoho
Ism. The patient falls uncousclou :
the fnce Is congested and the breathin
heavy.
Cold Is the remedy-Ice pack to tli

TO REVIEW ROSIN TRUST CASE
Washington , Feb. 20. The supreme
court of the United States today grant
ed a reeiucst that it review the con
viction of ofllclals of the American
naval stores company , accused of hav
ing violated the Sherman anti-trust
law.
law.The
The American naval stores com
pany , whose oflicinls were concerned
In the action of the court today , has
been referred to as the "turpentine
and rosin trust. "
As a distributor and exporter of
what Is claimed to be more than fifty
percent of the turpentine and rosin
obtained from the long leaf yellow
plno of the Carolinas , Georgia , Flor
ida , Alabama , Mississippi , Louisiana
and Texas , the company long has boon
a prominent figure In the trade of the
world. Its customers nre scattered
through the United States.
Today's action was the outcome of
prosecution begun In 1908 in the
United States circuit court of Geor-
la , against the company , Its officers
ind others for alleged violation of the
herman anti-trust law.
It had been preceded by oth r pros
ecutions. In one of these Spencer P.
Shotter , whose activities as chairman
of the board of directors lias made him
; he most prominent figure in the com
pany , was found guilty of violating the
nterstate commerce laws and fined ,
In another , he was found guilty of vio-
ating the Sherman a'nti-trust law and
lined. In the case before the court to
day he has been sentenced to prisoner
; or alleged violation of the anti-trust
, avr , in addition to payment of a fine ,
The government's claim of conspir
acy among the defendants was based
partly on the pecuj'iar system of mar
kets for turpentine and rosin. It wag
> j" the government that the only opener
or quotation market in the United
States for the sale of naval-stores wns
at Savannah , Ga. At all1 the othei
ports or markets , It wasolalmetl , the
prices wore based on the closing
prices at Savannah.
This being the case , the government
claims the defendants conspired tt
stay out of the Savannah market ir
the early part of 1905in order to de
press that market nnd during thai
time to make large purchases at clos
ed markets , whcro the prices wouli
be depressed becaiiEO of the depression
sion at Savannah.
