By holding before their minds a pic ture of what they dread, fear low ers their vitality and the power of their resistance, so that they read My fall vie ins to a malady which they night otherwise have es caped. In the same way. poverty and kindred evils are often sdf-inrited. Thedisa ter people dread comes to ', them, because worry and anxiety enfeeble their powers of mind and so blunt their creative and \ rodoc tive {acuities that they are unable to exercise them iffectirrly. 1 This condition of mental and physical exhaustion destroys confi dence in their abi'ity to grapple with the situation that comforts them, and they succumb almost without an effort. When we an alyse them aright, we find that all these happenings are in accord with scien ific laws.

Bsw t« Botace The CM af Meat. -Tbetr is complaint from one er:! cf the country to the other over the high price of meats. The cbargc is made tlist what we might terra the producers of beef, pork and mutton —the few great con cerns through their slaughter •joa'i-. tern tlse steer, the l»og and the sheep into these market articles —have arbitrarily advanced Their cost to the consumer. ""Whatever the cause may be. there i- no doubt that the consurn trrs of these articles cf food have W pay more for them now than they did s short while back, and there is foundation for the complaint that this cost of living has been increas ed. whether the fault lies with the great western packing houses or not—rrhether there is a beef trust oroct." The vital question with the cou sxraen of these meats is how to Te dnce (his cost of living. There is odc thing they csn do. It may not be a complete "dution of the ques tion. but it will surely have its ef fect on the msrket and at lca>t teed to redrrce the J-itee cf these cieats and mill certaialy reduce the expenses of those who consume tbim. That is to apply the law of supply and demand. Reduce the demand for an article below the supply, especially a perishable arti cle and the price will be put down in onler to increase the demand. The Aawricaa people can very well reduce the demand for meats; for it is well known that we con sume more rrat than is nccccsßary and with many use more than is in accord with the laws of health, and, furthermore we waste more than we consume, or any how, as The American people eat too much meat —too much for the good of their pockets and of their stomachs. Why then keep on gorging oundves. creating an un ncccessary demand upon the out put of the much abased '"beef tnist" thereby giving it the oppor tunity to wage this successful ware fare against our pockets and our digestive organs- It is a mistaken idea of the lalx>r isg man that be csn not do hi-, work without eating meat three -or two'timjs a day. and a still greater mistake with those who do not have to do manual labor to earn a living. The Americans are the on ly people in the world who haw this idea. The world over has as strong, as healthy and as lobust j men wfco live by use of hand and 1 head are to I e found in the United States and among none of them will you find such meat caters as we. The Scotchman with his oatmeal, the Irbhman with bis potatoes, the Italian with his maccrroui and the [ Chinaman with his rice, with never | a thought of meat twice a day, can jdo a good day's work the year round. On this subject of meat eating acd the nutritive qualities of other foods the chief chemist of the gov ernment department of agriculture. Dr. Wiley, >c-t ids to The New York Sun an interesting and instructive article. He begins by stating that* of the- meats bonght in market gen era!!}' only about twenty-five- per cent, in weigl t furnishes nutri tion to the body. He says for ac tual nourishment the very best and cheapest is found in corn, wheat, oats, rye and rice, as these grains "contain all that is necessary for the body ia a form well suited to digestion and furnish all the energy required for the hardest labor." Dr. Wiky says in this subject. "Cereals contain as the moet abundant constituent an element of food which is practically absent m meats, viz, carbohydrates, of which starch and sugar are types. Starch and sagar alone are *ot sufficient to give permanent nourish mcnt to the body, since they fail to contain the deceits necesrary to the nourishment, especially to tha muscular tissues of the body. In cereal*. however, the starch is coir kiced with an abundant supply of nitiugtnous materials, of which the gluten of wheat floor is a type. It so happens that the cereals contain all the elements aec.ssary to the nutiitioa of the body, having in themselves the types of food which are represented bv the fats, the aitrogenows ar protein bodies an-", the carbohydrates.

It los sometimes been argued that the keeping ot pet animals is one way to develop humane in stincts of people in general. Like other practices, however, this one is food only when it is not abused, as it frequently is. When one con siders the numtier of miserable lit tle beasts yearly trapped, captured, and bred in cages for the amuse ment of mankind, it seems as if sonic better method of amusement might be devised. Of course, there are people who make friend* and companions of thciir pets, and although nobody can be absolutely certain about ani mals psychology, it may l>e that the dog. horse or bird derives an aniou-.it of pleasure from contact mlh the superior mind which more than repays the kiss o" freedom. In the case of a highly bred dog or a saddic-hofte it is certain that this is so. Cut these are in the min ority when the whole number of domestic at ed animals is considered In the iirst place, it is certainly ' cruelty to take a wild creature out ' of its natural environment and place it in a cage where it can have ' little exercise , no natural compan ionship, and often no suitable food. ■ It is entirely possible lor people living in a country town or small rillage to tame squirrels, birds and : other wi!d things without in the 1 least interfering with their freedom, if they choose to use a little pa -1 trencc. Most wild animals will come where they arc not afraid of ' being hurt. The reel squirrel can be ' coaxed to come from his hole and ' eat co, 11 from the hand of a human being, and birds of all kinds are ' e-atily tamed in the same way. One nho has once enjoyed the delight 1 «f winning the confidence of the ' wood folk will never again wish to 1 keep any of them in a cage. 1 Ihcanin-.il which is bred for the • purpose of domestication, like the lap-dog. the Persian cat. th* white mouse, or the canary, is unusually inferior in intelligence to the wild animal for the very good rea«on that it does not need as much brains to be fed, petted and put to sleep as to get one's living in the mid'.t 1 of a throng of enemies. There are ijivo ways, however, in which the keeping of these animals can be ma-!c really benefical to children 1 and adults; one is by making com paoiors of them developing all the intelligence they have, and the itlier is by cri>osing pets of a sort whose intelligence is already con ,-iilerable Children should be encour ai;cd to be kind to their p6ts and lo n:akc friends with them, and this cannot be done unless there 'n in jtel:igence 011 the other side. If the comfort and well being of the ani mal is studied it will be good for the mailer as well as the pet, for a'truis-n generally works in that way, but candor will compel most people to admit that nothing of the kind is usually done. . » ♦ « —' McD«f(ic'« Witch Hazel l oot Healer ] is one of tlie baby powders known, curej-pirrkly l eal an! yi\instant relief.
