It is being well and a little bit more. It is not sufficient to be in such a physical, mental and normal State that we can tell our Neighbors and friends that we are “well this morning, thank you.” It nieans more than simply feeling that have no aches and pains. It means nn exuberance of life and energy. It Cleans that you have strength for your task and a little energy to spare. Great numbers of people never feel i-hat pleasant throb of life, vitality nnd energy pulsing through their bod ies, not even during glorious autumn ^s^ys. No, you will not feel that ex- 'iberance of health and energy if you ^^0 troubled with indigestion in some its forms, if you have hookworms ^'^cking your life blood or malaria ^^ganisms floating around in your blood. You will not feel every whit man or woman if you have head aches, are constipated and your plumbing system is all out of order; U you are continually having colds; if you are worried, overworked and burning the candle of life at both ®uds with some form of dissipation. Some people have not been perfect ly healthy for so long that they have Really forgotten how they used to feel children, when aches and pains ''^6re utter strangers to them. They bave grown used to feeling about 26 cent under par, and don’t know ''^hat they are missing. As a result, ibey are plodding through life scarce- y able to eke out a living, with no ®'^rpiua of time, energy or means for improvement, luxuries of amuse- ^®uts. Such people need to get out pf the rut. There are better things ih store for them. The little differ- ®hce between the man feeling “not ®ick” and the man feeling “just flne” ® the very difference between suc- ^®ss and failure. It is the little extra fbat helps one man to seize a good Position or a business proposition ''"bile another lets it go by. Iii fbe ^ace of life it is the little extra that ^akes a poor second or third into a ^'^od first. How to get out of the rut? That ® hsually easy. Look about and see ^hat rut or ruts you are in. Find aut what put you in these ruts. Then out those things which put you H you are in the mire or a deep fat, go to your doctor and ask him to pull you out. Give him full char '“‘‘■ge of the reins until you get on ground. Then follow his in * ^actions, and, above all, learn how I? drive this coach of state yourself, aap in the middle of the road and will be surprised that you should have driven off. The eight I —■» average man requires aprs’ sleep every night. Most of us app too little and eat too much. FEEDING BABIES. Does it pay to feed babies on the breast or bottle? Here are some in teresting figures. During the siege of Paris in 1870-1871 the city milk supply failed and mothers were com pelled to nurse their babies. The death rate among babies fell from 330 to 170 per 1,000 births. In Eng land during the Lancashire cotton famine mothers remained at home and nursed their babies, and there re sulted-an even greater saving of in fant life. Wherever mothers nurse their babies it is found that the breast fed baby has six chances of living where the bottle fed baby has one. THE IMPORTANCE OF DUST. Avoid Floor Dust if You Would Avoid Tuberculosis. Did you know that, according to published, reports, about one-third of the five thousand street cleaners in New York City are infected with tu berculosis? Previous to their employ ment by the city these men were all examined by civil service physicians and pronounced free from organic disease. It is claimed that five years work as a street cleaner in New York makes the average individual a consumptive. Of course, street sweepers labor under some of the very worst condi tions. The dust they meet doubtless contains a large amount of dried spu tum and all of that, but did it ever occur to you that it is part of this very same dust which every one car ries on his shoes and clothing into houses, churches and school-houses? Now, the point is simply this: If an excessive quantity of dust is so fatal, even smaller quantities are undesir able, and therefore the less dust the better. One of the chief sources of dust is that resulting from the old-fashioned dry broom method of sweeping our floors, etc. The antiquated feather duster is another dust evil. By us ing some of the many forms of kero- sened brooms, sweepers, mops and dust cloths now on the market, the amount of dust raised in sweeping and dusting, as compared with that raised by the old dry broom and feather duster, is reduced from 90 per cent to 99 per cent. MOTION PICTURES TO AID RED CROSS. “Hope” is the title of the leading note in a new motion picture film which will be released for exhibition on November 16, by Thomas A. Edi son, working in co-operation with the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The scenario of the picture was written especially for the anti-tuberculosis campaign by James Oppenheim, and the film will be used during the next six weeks as a special feature of the Red Cross Christmas Seal Sale. The story, as portrayed by Mr. Op penheim, tells of a young banker in a little New York town by the name of John Harvey and of his b(jpkkeeper Wells, with whose daughter Edith the banker is in love. A few weeks before the holiday season, Harvey one day receives a letter and some lit erature from the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu berculosis, asking him to engage in a tuberculosis campaign in his district, to form a committee to sell Red Cross Christmas Seals, and to work for the erection of a local sanatorium. He shows the material to his old book keeper and both the men laugh at the idea that a country district need en gage in such a fight. Tuberculosis, they believe, is a thing only of the city slums. Careless and unthink-, ing, however. Wells puts some of the pamphlets in his pocket and forgets the incident. Meanwhile Edith is trying hard to conceal from her father and lover the annoying cough which she has de veloped and also the knowledge giv en her privately by the old family physician that she has tuberculosis. She struggles hard against her love for Harvey and her father, espe cially when the banker shows her the new home which he is building for them. She is about resolved not to yield to the doctor’s advice, recom mending that she go to a sanatorium, when one evening she accidentally discovers the tuberculosis literature in her father’s pocket. As she reads of the dangers to which she is exposing those whom she loves, and of the hope of a cure that may be hers, if she will go to a sanatorium, she fin ally conquers her immediate desire and resolves to live for health and a cure. She writes a note to her father and to Harvey releasing him from their engagement and leaves home secretly for New York to see what chance she has of being cured, for there is no sanatorium nearer to her home than a day’s journey. It is the bitter realization of the truth that tuberculosis lurks every where, even in their own homes, that spurs Harvey and Wells to arouse; their townsfolk to the need of pre venting this disease and erecting a sanatorium. And all the while they are searching for Edith, until one day by chance they find her name on the’ records of Bellevue Hospital Tuber culosis Clinic. They trace her to the ferryboat day camp at that institution and finally to her own miserable hall bfed-room. It is not a difficult task to persuade Edith to go home and take the cure in the new sanatorium on the outskirts of the town. Here she completely recovers her health and as an indication of her future mode of life on entering her new home for the first time, a happy bride, she throws the windows wide open to let in the fresh air. Don’t permit your palate to get your stomach into trouble. Taking a pill does not solve the diet prob lem. The only night air that is injurious is last night’s. Get the fresh air habit. TO BREAK DOG FROM SUCKING EGGS. To stop a dog from sucking eggs put one teaspoonful of tartar emetic in an egg and place where he can get it, but care should be taken that noth ing else gets it. One or two eggs will be sufficient. It is not the advertising that costs so; it’s the stopping. The moral, therefore, is plain—never stop. Rent as much space as you think you can use to advantage and then run your big ads when it is “off” if you want to do it that way, but run something in every issue. Have a hobby. Let your hobby be to be a hen-crank, the commonly used expression, and the chances are, your hens will fare well and take care that your pocket-book always has a mis sion.—Rural Mission.
