SANITATION How The Individual ; Others by Habits By Miss Th following essay won the prize offered annually by the Sanitation Committee of the Gastonla Woman's Betterment Association for the best essay written on a prescribed sub ject dealing with some phase or health work by a pupil of the Gasto- "ala high school. Miss Tina Leoo- vltt won the prize this year in com petition with 21 others and her pa per is as follows: - , In the sixteenth century the aver age length of human life was Be tweea 18 and 20 years. At the close ; of the eighteenth century it was a .' little more than 30 years. Today it is about 4o years. The average ' length of life has, then, more man ' doubled in the last three hundred and fifty years. This is largely due to the fact that sanitary measures have been taken to prevent so great a loss of life from plague and pes ; Ulence. In India it is only 25 years : while in Germany it is 43 years ana in Sweden 4 5 years. In Germany and Sweden great care is given to hygiene; the health of the people is , protected by the health board and by . sanitary regulations. . in inaia, on the other hand there is no attention given to hygiene or sanitation. Be V fore the sanitary laws were passea plague and pestilence swept .over the world unchecked. Millions or people were carried off in a single year. In 1466 40,000 people died of plague In Paris and in 1570 20y 601 people la Moscow were carried off by plague. At the present day terrible diseases that formerly cans such a high death rate have been largely overcome by the discoveries of modern science. These diseases are, not, however, destroyed but they are only held at bay. Any careleas- u ness In preventing them would open the door for these dangerous diseas es to return. Much has been done to Improve the sanitary conditions. , yet much remains to be done. One of the protections against dis eases Is to seep the teeth clean. The decay or the teeth is caused by bac teria growing in the food materials that stick to the teeth and lodge be tween them. Clearly, then, the way to keep the teeth from decay Is to seep them clean. To keep them sound they onght to be washed af ter Breakfast and before going to , , bed. Good teeth are important from the standpoint of health and there . are good reasons why one should keep bis teeth white and clean. reopie wno maae it a rule to chew every mouthful of food into a perfect paste, find that their health Is Tery much Improved. They have . . good digestion and see sunshine ana success before them. Others wno are affected- with dyspepsia expect to meet only clouds and failure on their way. We should all eat at . certain hours every day. It rutnns the digestive organs to eat at dif ferent hours and to eat between meals. We should also not eat too much of any one kind of food. Thor ough chewing of the food and mod- erate eating set us on the road ' to good health. About one-fifth of the air is ozy r gen. Oxygen is constantly used in the body. We should breathe pure aa-d fresh air. The first reason wny the body needs sir: Is to get oxygen. The second resaon why we must ; have air is to get rid of carbon diox lde. Each person breathes from 13 to 19 cubic feet of air every hour. No one can afford to breathe bad air from day to day as it causes one i to tire easily and to lose strength and gradually to lose the power to resist disease germs. So the best , thing for each one to do is to keep v. everything clean, and the house or store well "Ventilated so as to ge: pare fresh air. ,. Exercise ought to be taken regu larly; a reasonable amount every ' day Is far better than a large amounc one day and none the next day. . Proper exercise brings into use ana builds up all the muscles. It does , Hot make giants or a few muscles and have the others small and wi. Out door exercise Is best of all for toe developing of the whole body After exercising one should not . low himself to cool off too quickly f as there Is danger of taking cold. , One must always stand and sit erect for If be does not train himself to do FAMILY AVOIDS SERIOUS SICKNESS tj Bern Constant Supplied With ; Retford's BUclvDrtntBt.

The most Important protection against disease germs is cleanliness. Habits of cleanliness should begin early in life in childhood. Eaca one must court cleanliness in all things. If one would escape typhoid germs he must drink only pure ana clean water. If he has doubt about the milk or water the best remedy is to boil it. Clean all raw foods thoroughly before eating and keep foods away from dust and tiles. The premises must be kept clean and free from dust. Dirt does not produce disease germs but it har bors them. Cleanliness of the hands is very important. It Is one of tne things that we can be more careful about. The man who milks witn dirty hands, the cook who does not cleanse her hands thoroughly before touching the meal, may each be the cause of disease. Germs that cause tuberculosis are found on the hands of most persons suffering with that disease if they have not trainee themselves to the utmost carefulness in keeping the hands clean. Our habits become a part of our way of living and doing things, and we do not think of them as some thing that requires extra worK to do. If you will form habits that I have mentioned above, you will soon clean your teeth as a matter of course and wonder how any one can feel comfortable without doing so. You will find yourself surprised that any one should want to make himself sick by eating too much or by swallowing his food without chewing it. You will think it strange that any one Bhould live in a thick, stuffy atmosphere when there is pure air only the thickness of a window-pane away. You will feel your own muscles and pity tDe weak-muBcled people you meet. You will guard yourself from disease germs without feeling that you are taking extra trouble and you will feel sorry for the poor persons all about you who needlessly suffer from germ diseases. Put into prac tice these health habits, and Bee af ter a little while if it is any special work for you to carry them out. BIIER1EKS ORGANIZE.

Interesting Facte Aboat a Land or Myetery Travelers Bring Baca; Harrowlntf Stories Mlasloaartee Among ; First Explorers Base Conquest. ' - y v . " s Southern Missionary News Bureau. -In the very heart of Asia, shut In by the two highest mountain ranges on the globedthe Kven-lun and. tne Himalayas lies Tibet, "the root of the world." Its geographical Isola tion, the absence of means of convey ance, the dizzy and all but Impassa ble heights that wall it round, have made of the country a hermit nation, practically unknown to the rest of the world. Even those who for love of adventure or love of humanity have braved the difficulties of travel have been confronted with a degree of religious Intolerance and fanati cism that made exploration practical ly impossible. No westerner, on pain of death, was permitted even to look upon Lhasa, 'the religious capital. The few daring travelers who, taking their lives in their hands, sought in disguise to reach the sacred city, came back baffled and defeated, witn harrowing stories of hardships and peril. Among the first to penetrate this closed land were missionaries, al ways the pioneers of exploration. Not to speak of the journey of Odoric, the Apostle of Tartary, in 1330, two Catholic fathers reached Lhasa in 1845, only to be arrested and seat to Canton. Since that time attempts to open Tibet to the gospel have been numerous and. indeed, constant. The Moravian brethren, the China Inland Mission, the Christian and Missiona ry Alliance, the Foreign Christian Missionary Society, and a number of Scotch and English societies are among those that have laid siege to the country in the name of Christ. While no station has yet found foot ing on strictly Tibetan soli, yet a cordon of missionary posts, two thousand miles long, has been drawn around the country. Here the mis sionaries are working chiefly among Tibetan people. They have prepared Tibetan grammars and dictionaries and have published the new testa ment in the language. Thus the base line has been established for tne Christian conquest of this great and needy land, with its five million des titute people. Among the most Interesting or these remote stations is that of tne Foreign Christian Missionary Socie- t uatang, just a few miles from the border. Here Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Sbelton, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Ogden, Dr. and Mrs. William Hardy ana Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Baker, good, red blooded Americans all, are cheerful ly laying down their lives for the up lift of this needy people. God's Hand In Korea. Rev. C. T. Collyer, a veteran Southern Methodist missionary in Korea, writes thus of the harvest that has been gathered in during his . service there of nearly a quarter century: "I have just completed 27 years or service in the Orient. I was first in China for eight years, and from there in company with the late Rev. C. "F. Reid was transferred to Korea to be gin the work of the Southern Metho dist Mission. I took part In the first service of our church in Korea, whlcn was held In April, 1897; our first convert was baptized May 2, 1897. Contrast this with the figures we published last year: 261 organizes societies. 5,988 baptized members, and 4,183 probationers and admer- ents. Surely this is an indication that God is at work in Korea." Ih-lnk for the Dark Continent. The amount of liquor passing Ma deira, a port of registry for the coast of Africa, in one week is reported as follows: 28.000 cases of whiskey. 30,000 cases of brandy. 30,000 cases of Old Tom. 36,000 barrels of rum. 800,000 demijohns of rum. 24.000 butts of rum. 15,000 barrels of absinthe. 960,000 cases of gin. In Sierra Leone during one-fourth of a year 250 tons of liquors were unloaded at a "dry town" to be trans ported to towns of the interior. lo HuNine Men Believe in MlAtdons? Over 1,200 men capitalists, law yers, physicians, professors, editors and business men from every State in the Union, recently met at Wash ington for a five days' missionary congress. They paid their own rail road fare arid hotel bills, and 5.00 registration fee, besides taking val uable time from their business.
