Some ono has sold that If "wo live right w <

Thcio Is much truth In the seemingly ex

As a result the mucous membrane llnin

This is all wrong The cause suggests th
opposite treatment dieting , fasting. And by
way of parenthesis , let us remark that a

Let us conscientiously do this. Uut I greatly

After our stomach , In this matter o

for night. Whllo we are on the feet ques

stockings , or worsted , at least , In good ,
thick ehoes , and when outdoors with over
shoes. Don't neglect to bathe them often.
Cold , clammy feet are too often the result of
Insufficient bathing. If you bathe once the
week , the average custom , you should at
least bathe your feet twice a week.
If children get their feet wet don't have
them sit by the stove and dry them , but at
once remove the shoes and stockings ; give
the ruddy feet a good bath , rub until ruddier ,
and , putting on dry stockings and dry shoes ,

Children should not be allowed to play out

A word about the temperature of tbo liv

If we have grace'nnd grit to follow these

A southern congressman received a letter
gome * tlmo ago , which , being llko hundreds
ot other communications , did mot attract at
tention. It read as follows ;
"BLANKVILLE , Jan. 4 , 1838 , Dear Sir ;
Will you please send mo a parcel of cow
peas from tbo government distribution ?
Very truly yours ,
"JAMES LANCASTER. "
The package was duly sent , reports the
Washington 1'ost. A week- later there carne
another letter. It made 'the ' following re
quest ;
" 1ILANKVILLB. Jan. 10 , 1898. Dear Sir ;
Please fcn-j me-some cow peas. I only
want ono package."MARY
"MARY LANCASTER"
The congressman promptly complied with
the request , and thought no more about It
until live daja later , when there came still
another letterIt was postmarked at the
same country town , and was evidently from
a member of the same family as his two
previous correspondents. The congressman
rather smiled as ho read :
"BLA.N'KVILLE , Jan. IB , 1808 , Dear Sir :
I should very much like to have ono of the.
bags of cow peas which you are ecmdlng
free. I am your friend , and uopo you will
bo ru-elected. Yours truly ,
"SAMUEL P. LANCASTER. "
The letters did not stop coming. Three
moro arrived , ono from the mother of the
Lancaster family , cno from a daughter , and
another from a son , The congressman
thought that hit constituents Intended to
plant n ten-acre lot with cow peas , Nothing
of the kind. Yesterday ho received n letter
which told of the use to which the govern
ment seeds had been put. It ald :
"HLANKVILLI3. Jan. J9 , 1898. Dear Mr.
Congressman : We got all the packages or
cow peas and thank you very much. We
put all the l > eaa together and boiled them for
