seem necessary and rather a trivial
thing. I thought it was something
iiewthe doctors had found and '
wanted to experiment with."
"You said it did not occur to you
that it was your duty to be vacci
nated till yesterday. - Why yester
day?" "Well a few days ago I heard that
one of my good friends was sick
and had been taken to the hospital.
He was always so strong and well
and rather prided himself on his
goad health, that I thought it surely
could be nothing serious and that
he would soon be out and back at
his work. However hs going to
the hospital puzzled me, and as
soon as I conveniently could I vent
to see him. As I approached the
room where he lay, he greeted me
with the warning that if I had not
already been vaccinated against
typhoid fever to go do so at once.
You see what neglecting it has
done for me, he said. As I watch
ed his intense suffering and noted
his alarming condition, I realized j
for the first time that i was no
more immune than he; that his
chances for passing a pleasant sum
mer without illness only a few days
ago seemed as fair as mine. Any
way, I took him at his word and
went immediately, to the dispensary
and took my first treatment."
"How is it serving you? Did it
make you sick?"
"The idea of such a thing! But I
might have said it made me a little
sick if I hadn't seen John suffering
with the real thing. . But, -really, it
is nothing to mind, and think
what it prevents!

GR0W1HG 0L0. CAUSE AND PBEV NT10N
BY THE OLD BOY.
(Continued from last week)
Men and women grow old faster
than their years when they take
the dregs of boiled water in their
systems. Families who use this
form of cooking show their prema
ture age.
The vapor or steam of water, con
densed and made palatable, is a
solvent of old age depostis in the
body. There is no reason why it
should not be adopted as a drink.
All mellow and sweet fruits that
are juicy, are natural solvents of
old age deposits. The strained juice
of very sweet and mellow apples is
excellent and effective if taken fresh
every day. But all fruits that are I
fully ripe serve the same purpose;
for nature distil's her fluids in her
fruits.
One wrong principle of cookery is
that which allows vapor or steam
to escape from anything that is
prepared for the table. There should j
be some system invented that re-j very young for his age. He has
tains the steam; or else distilled just said that he owes1 his penect
water sheuld be employed. Some health to the fact that he has al

Humanity is the victim of uncount-
ed ills; and very little is being done
to check the source of suffering;
while much is essayed to ameliorate , x
the damage that lack of foresight
has made possible.

j tually occuring in people who are
j not yet out of their twenties and
their thirties. A careless diet may
cause the deposits of old age ma

can it be said
that their arteries
! are "as soft as a child's." Here is
j the secret of the disease known as
j growing old. It is wholly controlled
by what you eat and drink.
One of the first signs of age is
the dimming of the eyesight. While
the eyes may be disturbed by many
causes, in ninety cases out of a
hundred, the Chief trouble is in the
blood; and the blood is nothing
more than the food it is made of.
Old age deposits beginning at any
time, even in youth, harden the
nerves that support the vision; and
they are the most delicate nerves
in the body. Even where there is
no other kind of trouble, the ad
vancing years always play havoc
with the eyes; and there is but one
channel for their enmity, and this
is in hardening the blood vessels
and interfering with their nervous
condition.
The appoach of ear trouble is
one of the easiest proceses to trace
