TO BE AVOIDED Intense Cold Breeds CatSSTU. W! IN THE N Severe Weather. February is month of severe storms and intense cold. Even in the South where the prevail ing temperature is much above wintry latitudes. February brings sudden changes of .temperature. Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees in a single night. Therefore, the following health hints are applicable to the whole of North America: Ventilation, The sleeping rooms should be well ven tilated, but so as to avoid direct currents of air. Bathing, Those in vigorous health should take a cold water towel bath every morning before breakfast. Those in feeble health should 'take a brisk dry-towel-rub every morning: Diet. The diet should be a generous one, in cluding meat, and occasionally fresh vege tables. Sunshine. The nights being long and the days short, as much sunshine as possible should be' let into the house during the day. -Clothing. The head should be kept cool at all times. The feet should be kept warm and dry, day and night. I'e-rai-na, When unavoidably exposed to cold or wet, a few doses of Peruna will avert Vbad consequences. Precaution. When seized with a chill, or even slight chilliness, a dose of Peruna should be taken at once.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NTERNATIONAL LESSCN COMMENTS FOR FEBRUARY IS. Subject: Jesus at the -Pool of Bethesda, John v., 1-15 Golden Text, -John vi.. S Memory Verses, 8, 9 Commentary j on the Day's Lesson. I. Jesus at the feast (vs. 1-4).. 1. "Af ter this," "After these things." R; V. Some think that when John is telling some event which follows immediately after the. ast thing narrated, he uses the expression 'after this thine" (chap. 2:12), but that when there has been an interval of time le uses the expression "after these thmzs. A feast." There has been much differ ence of opinion as to what feast' this was, but it is the opinion now of the best writ ers that it was the Passover, 2. "By the sheep gate" (R. V.) We know from Neh. 3:1, 32; 12:39 that there was a sheep gate; so callea DroDaDiy from sheen tor sacrince being sold there It was near the temple. The Hebrew toneue. - Hebrew here means Aramaic, the language spoken at the time, not the old Hebrew of the .scrip tures. Bethesda. This' name does not occur elsewhere. It means aouse of mer cy." The site is not identified with cer tainty. The traditional spot is near Castle Antonia. But Dr. Robinson thinks "the fountain of the Virgin," an intermittent soring in the southeast of the city, near porches. These porches were probably covered arcades, colonades- or verandas. ooen at one side to the air. but protected against the sun or rain overhead. In a hot country like Palestine such buildings are very necessary. 3. "Multitude." The sick congregated here in great numbers. Jl. Jesus heals an impotent man ivs. 5-9). 5. "An infirmity. The original im plies rather a loss of power than a positive i 1-11 1 j aisease; proDaDiy 11 was a nervous uisease of paralytic tvpe. "Thirty and eight vears. lne duration 01 tne luness is mentioned, either to show how inveterate. and difficult it was to 'heal, or rather, ac cording to verse 6, to explain tho deep comDassion with which Jesus was affected on beholding the' unhappy man. From verse 14 we may infer that his disease was the result of the sins of his vouth. 6. "Knew." The word "knew" in the original indicates one or those instantan eous perceptions by which the truth be came known to Jesus according as the task of the moment demanded. Verse 14 will show that the whole life of the sufferer is present to the eve of Jesus, as that of the fcamaritan woman was in chapter 4. fcaitn unto him." Usually Christ waited until He was asked before He relieved the sui- fering, but in this and a few other cases He healed without being asked. He read the man's past life and present- condition of mmd. and saw that he was m a state to receive spiritual good from the healing. Wilt thou? Why does He ask a ques tion to which, the answer was so obvious? Probablv in order to rouse the sick man out of his lethargv and despondency. 7. No man. He was fnendless as well as sick. "Is troubled." This spring, prob ablv the fountain of the Virgin, is inter mittent to this dav. and various travelers have seen it suddenly rise from five inches to a foot in five minutes. Whedon thinks that the moving of the waters arose from an underground connection of the pool with the city water works. The occasional and intermittent disturbance of the water is not to be understood as a regular occur rence, but as something sudden and quick ly pasmg away. Hence the man s waiting and comnlaint. "Put me into the pool. Literally, "in order to throw" me into the 1 . 1 T 1 - in it. ,u r pooi; peruaps implying mat iuc gusu ui water did not last long, and there was no time-to be lost in quiet carrying. "While I am coming." Thus picturing the extreme haste and rapidity with which the favor able onoortunity was seized. 1 here was a rush and scramble for the one chance. 8. "Rise." etc. Commands like these would test the man's faith and obedience. As in the case of the paralytic (Mark 2:9), Christ made no encmiry as to the man's faith. Christ knew that he had faith, and the man s attempting to rise and carry his bed after thirty-eight years of impotency c : r r :tu "T3J " wts ail ujjcii cuiiiesoiuii ujl inaii. jjcu . Probably only a mat or rug, still common in the East. 9. "And walked." With the command was given the power of obe dience. So the sinner who is bidden to commit himself to Christ need not wait for anv compulsion. As he' makes the ef fort he will find divine power within him self. "Sabbath." The seventh day of the week, the Jewish Sabbath. III. Persecution of the Jews (vs. 10-13), 10. Not lawful. Jeremiah had com manded, "Take heed to vourselves. and bear no burden on the Sabbath day" (16: 21), and the Jews interpreted this as for bidding the carrying of the lightest weight. But Jeremiah's meaning is made clear by Neh. 13:15: Treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lad ing asses." etc. "To forbid this man from carrying his bed was like forbidding a mod ern man to move a camp stool or a chair. 11. "He said." Unquestionably the words seem to sav that one who could do such a wonder as healing me must certain ly have the right to tell me what to do. He had been authorized by one endorsed as sent from God. And this was indeed the very ground which Christ Himself took. 12. "Who is the man" (R. V.) They Ignore the miracle, and attack the command. They ask not, "Who cured thee, and therefore must have divine au thority?" but, "Who told thee to break the Sabbath, and therefore could not have it?" 13. "Knew not" (R. V.) Jesus had been in Jerusalem Jbut little, and the man who was healed had probably never seen Him. "Conveyed himself away." Better, withdrew. Literally, slipped aside, be came suddenly lost to sight.. "A multi tude," etc. This may be understood as explaining either why he withdrew to avoid the crowd, or the manner in which he' withdrew by disappearing in tne crowd. Either explanation makes good sense. IV. Jesus gives advice and warning (v. 14). 14. "Afterward." Probably soon af terward: in a day or so. MUndeth hint. Jesus had His eye on the man; His work, with him was not yet finished; this meet ing was not accidental. In the temple. A good place for the man to be. "Sin no more." God asks, this of every sinner, And vet there. are those who insist that it is impossible to live without sin in this life, but-if such is the case then Jesus asked this roan to do the impossible. "A worse thing." A paralysis from which no pool can restore and. no Saviour will de liver; the most terrible catastrophe of the soul s eternal history. . V. The man bears testimony fr. 15) 15. "Told the Jews," etc. In reply to the inquiry they had made of him a short time before, partly m obedience to the authon ties and partly to complete his apology for himself. He expected, probably, in the simplicity of his heart, that the" name of Him whom so many counted as a prophet, if not as the Messiah Himself, would have been sufacient to stop the mouths of gain savers Dog No Match for Wildcat. A dog belonging to a man named Grey of Georgia Corner, Me., went out in search of foxes the other day and ran on to a genuine loupcervier. , Mr. Grey heard the tumult in the woods ahead .and rushing up to shoot the fox was surprised to see the dog prone on the ground in a very dilapidated shape with the big cat high up 'among the branches contemplating a fresh as sault.

C. L..1 .Women Physicians for Lunatics. One of the most famous of German physicians for the tr3atment of mental l'.seases, Prof. Ludwig, is earnestly advocating the employment of women physicians in lunatic asylums. After fears of investigation he has come to the conclusion that the insane are pe- mliarly susceptible to a woman's pres- snce and influence, not only the wo men, but the men as well. He says he has been instrumental in obtaining the admission of one woman physi 2ian to an asylum for women in South Sermany, and the results are simply phenomenal. The women are more tractable. Ludwig is certain that in a short time no men physicians will be' employed in female lunatic asylums. His opinion is supported in large, meas ure by another eminent authority, Dr. Krapelin. New York World- Raising Geese by Thousands. On a goose farm in the middle west there is an incubator with a capacity for 10,000 eggs. These eggs are not, however, placed in the incubator a one time, but are so arranged that one section will hatch each day, being re filled as soon as the goslings are taken out. The geese are raised ori this farm for their feathers alone, which are used in the upholstering business.

The Road to Wellvllle" Pointed the Way Down at Hot Springs, Ark., the vis itors have all sorts of complaints, but it is a subject of remark that the great majority of them have some trouble with stomach and bowels. This may be partly attributed to the heavy medi cines. ' Naturally, under the conditions, the question of food is very prominent. A young man states that he had suf fered for nine years from stomach and bowel trouble, had twx operations which did not cure, and was at last threatened with appendieitis. He went to Hot Springs for rheuma tism and his stomach xouble .got worse. One day at breakfast the wait er, knowing. his condition, suggested he try Grape-Nuts and cream, which he did, and found the food agreed with him perfectly. After the second day he began to sleep peacefully at night, different than he had for years. The perfect diges tion of the food quieted his nervous system and made sleep possible He says: "The next morning I was astonished to find my condition of con stination had disappeared. I could not believe it true after suffering for so many years; then I took more interest in the food,jread the little book 'The Road to Wellville,' and started follow ing the simple directions. "I have met with such results that in -the last five weeks I have gained eight pounds in spite of 'hot baths which take away the flesh from any one, "A friendN of mine has been entirely cured of a bad case of indigestion and stomach trouble by using Grape-Nuts Food and cream alone for breakfast.
