-EASY TO PRESERVE HEALTH
Immunity From Disease May Be Ao- ;
quired by Exercise of Care
and Proper Living.
Perfect health is the best possible I
immunity from disease. Millions of
germs are hreathed in with everyI
breath we take, but their injurious
effect, is nullified so long as tht
itealth is good. Many of the gerrr.e
so taken are necessary for health,
others would he disease breeders if
they fell upon the proper soil. The
habit of deep breathing that the
blood may be purified with the oxygen
thus obtained, at the same time
keeping the bowels open, with such '
articles of diet as contribute to the
manufacture of good red blood, will
go a long way toward making a person
immune from ordinary diseases.
When an epidemic is around the (
persons first affected are those with
debilitated blood; otherwise every-;
body would go down together. So
little is necessary for the production
of good, healthy blood that there is
little excuse for any person having!
anything else, und with such a;

if everybody exereised an intelligent
supervision of his habits and his aur
foundings there would he practically
no reason for the existence of hoards I
of health or any other auch reatric-'

CHOSE WRONG SIDE OF HOUSE
Youthful Swain Had Boon Serenading
Fattier Instead of Object of
Hit Adoration.
There is a young man in a small
town who some time ago conceived a
romantic passion for a voiing woman.
And being-of a poetical turn he came
io the decision that the only way to
pay hoT proper attention wag to sere*
nade her. the more especially because
lie was somewhat in awe of the very
businesslike, rod-faced, quizzical father.
whom he would have to encounter
if he commenced by calling the
custom a rv way.
So, unlikely at it may seem, be
practiced up on his college mandolin
end began the series of song recitals.
1 hev were received with even more
enthusiasm than he could have
hoped. Every night there was gentle
applause, and occasionally a flower
flew out of the window. The lady
never showed her face, hut the young
man approved her delicate reserve.
The serenading went on for some
weeks. The young woman did not
speak of it when they met. although
he fancied he read her appreciation
in her face. And at last de decided
time (Uracil the subject and
bring matters to a head, and he began
gently.
But the lady stared at him in
blank surprise, and then she hurst
into peals of unseemly mirth.
"So that was what father has been
at," she gasped. "I knew he meant
something bv so much talk about
falling to sleep to music, and all that
sort of thing. My room is way at

with its small end through the hole

i hereto and running it through a cellar
window into the back yard, says
W. S. Hugol in'Our Dumb Animals.
The steady drip from the ho*e soon
made a wet place on the ground and
I came one morning and found a
well-developed mudhole about six
inches square, which appeared to
have been made by a dog or a
chicken, and as I stood wondering
what could have made it a couple
of robins came circling around my
j head, scolding very saucily. 1 retreated
to a place behind a pear;
tree and watched". One went directly j
to the muddy place and began wallowing
very much like a hen in au
ash bin, gradually working the mud
into a ball under her feet, when she
ran her bill through the center of;
it and flew awav to her neat. The j
other robin did like the first, and
i many times during the day I saw
them carrying mud with which to
cement their nest. It was a very dry
season, there were no mud puddles iu
the streets, and (lie drip from our
refrigerator, instead of being wasted,
helped these little feathered friends
to build their home.

with the cisterns and the
