FRESH-AIR TREATMENT
Most Potent Means of Restoring Consumptive
Patients to Health
Dr. F. R. Walters in his study on
the various sanatoria for consumptives
calls the open-air life the keynote of
•anatorium treatment. He further
says that the patient, instead of being
kept in a carefully warmed room ven-
tilated from other parts of the house,
according to the popular notions of
old, lives In the open air from morn-
ing till night, at all seasons and In all
weathers. Lack of fresh air is the
greatest predisposing cause of con-
sumption; fresh air is the most po-
tent means of restoring him to health.
Now this prescription is very easy
to carry out In dry climates such as
those of Egypt, the Alpine health re-
sorts, South Africa or Colorado; but
It requires special arrangements and
special precautions in a damp and
rainy climate. The credit of showing
how this may be accomplished belongs
mainly to Brehmenr, Dettweller and
their followers. The open-air method
may perfectly well be carried out in
any climate which Is healthy for those
who are not consumptive. As Leon
Petit observes: "Here the climate
may help the cure, . . . there It
may hinder it; but it only exerts a
secondary influence on the treatmont."
(1) Moreover, just as the pleasantest
climates are not always those which
are best for healthy people, (2) so It
may be that the most pleasant clim-
ates for an out-of-door life—whore the
air is warm and dry and little rain
falls—are not best for those consump-
tives who have later on to return to
a less favored place. It is bracing
climates rather than warm and equ-
able ones which have the greatest in
fluence in restoring the consumptive
to health, in all but exceptional cases
For the open-air treatment, a four-
fold shelter should be provided agalust
wind, excessive cold, extreme sun heat
and rain. Wind raises dust, increases
cough In consumptives, and Intensities
the chilling effects of cold. The for-
eign sanatoria with few exceptions
have both natural and artificial shelter
against wind. Cold within certain lim-
its is useful to the consumptive; but
It should be a windless cold, and suit-
ed to the individual power of reac-
tion. As damp intensifies the cli-
matic effect of both heat and cold, the
chilly consumptive will be able to
withstand a lower temperature In a
dry than In a humid climate. Protec-
tion against rain and snow will seem
to most people an obvious necessity,
although at Nordach rain is often dis-
regarded. It is not enough to provide
resting places in the sanatorium
which are protected against rain. At
certain stages exercise is imperative,
and sheltered paths and open covered
corridors are needed for exercise in
rainy weather. At Falkenstein there
Is such a corridor 200 feet long.
In places where the sun's rays are
very powerful, as at Canlgou in the
Pyrenees, direct exposure to the sun
Is found to increase the tendency to
fever. Even at Hohenhonnef on the
Rhine, which is not far south, a large
verandah has been provided which In
hot weather can be artificially cooled
by a stream of water. Protection
against wind and weather is afforded
in most santoria by large verandas,
which may be fitted with movable
glass screens, as the Adirondack Cot-
tage Sanatorium. In our own climate
it would be useful to have a veranda
with a hollow floor, which could be
warmed, as cold and damp can be
more easily borne if the feet are
kept warm. Other simpler ways are
the provision of hot bottles and warm
clothing. Recumbency also helps a
chilly patient, the blood circulating
with less cardiac effort in this posi-
tion. According to Dr. Welcker and
Dr. Jacoby, the recumbent position
also favors the flow of blood to the
apices of the lungs. In most foreign
sanatoria summer houses or sun
boxes are also provided; at Falken-
stein some of these can be rotated ac-
cording to the direction of the wind.
Dr. Burton-Fanning, in his experi-
mental sanatorium near Cromer, has
modified the well-known shelters of
our seaside resorts by providing them
with reversible glass screens.

Stable and Conditions.
i "The condition and health of a
horse," says the National Builder, "de-
pend very much upon the kind of
stable It is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from disease of the eyes,
from coughs, from scratches and
other skin diseases, all of which are
produced by the pungent, foul air In
the stables. Farmers and others who
have horses will take pains to keep
their carriages and harnesses protect-
ed from the strong ammonlcal air of
the stables, lest the leather may be
rotted or the varnish dulled and spot-
ted; and at the same time they will
wonder why their horses cough, or
have weak eyes or moon-blindness, or
suffer from other diseases which, if
they would only think for a few min-
utes they would readily perceive are
due to the foul air the animals are
compelled to breathe every night in
the year while confined In close, badly
ventilated stables. The remedy Is
very easy. The stable should be kept
clean; this will prevent the greater
part of the mischief, and It should be
well ventilated. The floor should be
properly drained, so that the liquid
will not remain on it, washed off at
least twice a week with plenty of wa-„
ter, and then liberally sprinkled with
finely ground gypsum (plaster), which
•will combine with and destroy the am-
monia. A solution of copperas (sul-
phate of iron) will have the 6ame re-
sult. Lastly, the floor should be sup-
plied with absorbent litter, which
should be removed when it Is soiled.
Ventilation should be provided in
such a way as to avoid cold drafts.
Sir.all openings, which may be easily
closed w*h a slide, may be made In
the outer wall near the floor, and
Blmllar ones near the celling, or In
the roof, through which the foul air
can escape. Pure air is of the utmost
importance to the well-being of
horses."
Insomnia.
This very common condition Is
most often <Sue to six o'clock dinners
or eating in the evening. To secure
sound sleep, no food should be taken
after 4 p. m., or at least nothing more
than a little ripe stowed fruit, without
cream, and with as little sugar as pos-
sible, better with none. Oranges or
some other Juicy fruit are preferable
for an evening's lunch. Avoid bread
and butter or milk, and similar arti-
cles which digest slowly. Fruit juices
and completely predigested food sub-
Btances may be added In moderation.
Tea and coffee also produce sleep-
lessness. Sedentary habits conduce
to sleeplessness by promoting the ao-
cumulation of uric acid, which is a
nerve excitant, and gives rise to rest-
lessness and disturbing dreams.
Said the wise man, "The sleep of
the laboring man is sweet." Eccl. 5:12.
Gentle fatigue produced by exercise
out of doors is wonderfully effective
as a means of producing sleep. A
prolonged bath, fifteen to forty min-
utes, or even longer If necessary, at
a temperature of 92 degrees to 95 de-
grees F., taken Just before retiring. Is
an excellent remedy for sleepless-
ness. The moist abdominal bandage,
consisting of a towel wrung quite dry
out of cold water and wound around
the body, covered snugly with mack-
intosh and then with flannel in suf-
ficient quantity to keep it warm, is an
exceedingly helpful measure in pro
ducing sleep in cases in which sleep-
lessness la due to excess of blood in
the brain. Care must be taken to
keep the feet warm. If necessary, a
hot bag may be applied to the feet or
a moist pack to each leg. If the head
is hot, a cool compress may be ap-
plied.
Still Saws Wood at 91.
The Rev. Jacob Chapman of Exeter,
N. H.. is the only nonagenarian, and
one of the few clergymen in New
Hampshire who saw all the wood used
in their stoves for cooking and heat-
ing purposes. The amount of wood
used by a family during the long New
Hampshire winters is something enor-
mous, yet Mr. Chapman goes out Into
the woodshed every day and saws al-
most enough to keep the parlor and
bedroom stoves well supplied, as well
as to furnish what is needed for ths
kitchen.
Mr. Chapman celebrated the 81st
anniversary of his birth this week.
Though never robust, Mr. Chapman's
physical powers are remarkably well
preserved. A day seldom passes in
which he fails to cut a little wood,
an exercise which he considers very
beneficial. Ip good weather he takes
long walks. His mind is alert and
his memory very retentive.
He was born in Tamworth, and in ]
1827 entered Phillips Exeter academy,
of which he is the oldest living gradu-
ate. He was graduated from Dart-
mouth college In 1835, and from And-
over Theological seminary in 1839.
For many years he was a teacher.
Since his retirement Mr. Chapman
has lived here, devoting himself to
genealogical research. He has writ-
ten a number of family histories, and
contributed to secular, genealogical
and religious publications.—Exchange
Japan's Self-Reliance
Whether we look to the dockyards
vhlch she has built for the making
and repairing of her own fleet, to tho
strenuous maintenance of her own
agriculture and industry or to her
self-reliant retention of the financial
responsibility of her own under-
takings, we find revealed the same de-
termination to stand independent and
contained. It is a patriotism so com-
prehensive that It can stoop without
loss of dignity to the consideration of
the minutest detail, and it holds the
secret of the great future which seems
to be opening tip before the young-
est of the nations.—London Express.
SCHOOLS FOR WHITE CHILDREN
Chinese Opportunism
The Chinese officials who were once
•cgarded as being pro-Russian are
fast vanishing as the situation
changes. They are all entertaining
grateful feelings toward Japan. Dip-
lomatically there will be some subter-
fuge played, but on the whole Japan
will get all she wants.—Toklo Asahi.
James A. Kirkwood, president of
the Oklahoma-Indian Territory Antl-
Horse-Thlef association, says that
already preparations are In progress
for the entertainment of the national
association at Muskogee, In October,
and for the territorial convention at
Ada, about the middle of the same
month.
Of Wide Interest.
Breed, Wis., June 26.—Sptcial—
Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace
for Oconto Co., has delivered a judg-
ment that Is of interest to tho whole
'Jnited States. Put briefly, that Judg-
ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
today."
And Mr. Peterson gives his reason
for this Judgment. He says: "Last
winter I had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much,
'n the morning I could hardly straight-
en my back. I did not know what it
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box I can only say they have done
more for me than expected as I feel as
i\«ll now as ever I did before."
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop Into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease,
"I won't, So There, Now"
The census bureau has decided that
women must tell their ages to the
enumerators. This sounds very well
as an official order, but the census of-
ficials, after all, are only men, and all
the world knows by this time the
weight of a man's "must" beside a
woman's "shant."—Balimore Ameri-
can.
Indian Commissioners Point Out Cry-
ing Need of the Territory
MUSKOGEE: The sixth annual rS-
port of the board of Indian commis-
sioners, just Issued, calls attention in
no unmistakable terms to the pOOr
school facilities furnished the white
children of Indian Territory, and ex-
presses the opinion that the entrance
of the territory upon intelligent state-
hood must very largely depend u"pon
the legislation by which the old tribal
governments are broken up and the
social and civil foundations for the
new state shaped. The board com-
mends the vigilant care for the rights
and the welfare of the Indians which
marks the administration of the in-
terior department and has character-
ized most of the legislation by con-
gress for Indian Territory.
'The establishment of townsltes
and the building up of a system of
taxation In towns has made possible
the establishment of a system of
grammar schools and high schools In
centers of population," says the re-
port, "yet the great mass of white
settlers in Indian Territory have been
and still are without schools for their
children. White children have been
shut out of the schools supported by
}he tribal funds of the Indians. The
whole system of tribal schools Is
doomed to disappear entirely with
the discontinuance of the live tribal
governments March 4, 1906. Unless
tfco country schools that have been
supported by the Indian tribes can
t>e reorganized and made the basis
of a local district school system for
both whites and Indians throughout
the territory outside the townsltes,
the condition of the rural population
of the territory will be pitiable In
their lack of schools."
The board refers to the appropria-
tion of $100,000 last year and $150,-
000 this year by congress for the pur-
pose of assisting in maintaining
schools for white children. This, It
is pointed out, Is a helpful beginning
and if congress will take up the mat-
ter this winter and provide for an
adequate school system It is believed
the educational tamlire threatening
the rtiral districts of Indian Territory
may be averted.

Why the Body Needs Water.
Someone has asked: "What would bs
the cause of death of a perBon who
drank no water?" This subject has
been studied considerably; animals
have been experimented upon, and
it is found that without water they
lose their power to eliminate the nat-
ural poisons; they must have water in
order to eliminate them, otherwise
the secretions become too dense.
Without water, the amount of ures
which should be secreted becomes di-
minished, and so with the other se-
cretions. We need water, not only to
dissolve the food and carry It along,
but we need It to dissolve and carry
out of the system the poisonous and
worn-out material of the body, after It
has served its purpose. Water forms
a circulating medium for carrying sub-
stances back and forth In the sys-
tem, conveying nourishment to the
various parts of the body, bringing
back the used-up material and carry-
ing It out by way of excretory ducts.
The amount of water dally required
is from two to three pints. In very
hot weather a larger amount Is need-
ed, as much water Is lost by perspira-
tion. If one's diet consists largely of
the juices of fruits, the quantity of
wster may be considerably diminished.
WHY THEY ARE HAPPY
TWO NOTABLE RECOVERIES FR0H
EXTREME DEBILITY,
Is Water a Food?
Hutchinson, an English authority,
who has published the latest and best
work on foods, Includes water among
food substances. Wator enters the
body, not only as a solvent, but as des-
tined to become a constituent element
of the tissues themselves. Water adds
to the energy of the body by Increas-
ing the power of the heart, and in
other ways contributing to the activity
of the tissues.
Husband's Strength Ilatl Been Waning for
Three Years, Wife a Sufferer from
Female Weakness.
" My strength had dwindled so that I
couldn't apply myself to my business
with any snap but was tired and listless
all the time," said Mr. Goldstein.
" I went to bed completely used up by
my day's work, and when I got up iu
the morning I didn't feel rested a bit. I
had awful headaches too, and my kid-
neys got out of order and caused mo to
have severo pains iu the back. At one
time I becamo so foeble that I could uot
stir from bed for threo weeks."
Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had
thou but recently established a homo of
his own. His anxieties were increased
by the fact that his wife was far from
being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says:
"For two years I had been ill most of
the time. Sometimes I was confiuod to
bed for weeks in succession under a phy-
simian's care. I had headaches, kidney
trouble, pain about the heart aud many
more uncomfortable symptoms con-
nected with ftat weakness to which uty
sex is peculiarly subject."
Trouble had invaded this household
and settled iu it in just the years that
ought to be the very happiest. Physicians
oould not tell them how to get rid of it.
" I was utterly discouraged, "said Mr.
Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some
friends led me to try a blood and nervo
remedy which was said to be wonder-
fully successful. Within a mouth there
were unmistakable slgusof improvement
in iny condition, and within a year I
was completely well. Through the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I have now
as good health as I evor had in my life."
Mrs. Goldstein adds: "The wonderful
cffect that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had
in tho case of my husband led me to try
them and they helped me even more
quickly than they did him. One box
made me decidedly bettor and a few
months'treatment cured nre."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills nre the best
tonic and regulator, they make pure,
rich blood and when there is> general
weakness aud disorder that is what the
system needs. Mr. nud Mrs. H. Goldstein
live at 88 Gove street, East Bbstou, Mass.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills arv sold by
druggists everywhere.
Officers Making Comparisons of
Forces of France and Germany
PARIS: For the first time since
the Fashoda incident the French pub-
lic Is In the throes of the war fever.
Whether It will result in anything ser-
ious depends on Germany's response
to the French not on Morocco, but,
l without considering the fcxact status
of the diplomatic negotiations, a con-
siderable element of the public and
press seriously discuss the possibili-
ties of a resort to arms. Army circles
are particularly active and at the
military clubs the officers are mainly
engaged In making comparisons of
the forces of France and Germany.
The official view is that the situa-
tion, while delicate, does not present
any a-Trsct of danger or a crisis In-
volving a nature of relations. This
Is the governmental view and natural-
ly presents the most favorable aspect
of the controversy. However, the am-
bassadors of the leading powers ex-
press impartial opinions fully sus-
taining the government.
It Is pointed out In diplomatic quar-
ters that the worst aspect of tho Mor-
occan question does not present a
census belli. An analysis of the con-
troversy shows that the Sultan of
Morocco Invites the powers to a con-
ference, Germany urges the powers,
Including France, to accept. Premier
Rouvler's latest note shows the will-
ingness of France to consider a con-
ferenfce If Germany explains her pni--
poses, but even should France decline
to accept this, refusal of the Invita-
tion does not constitute a couse for
war. A diplomat summed up the sit-
uation by saying that the complete
default of the present negotiations
would not mean war, as the contro-
versy would proceed along new lines.
It would doubtless lead to direct ap-
peals to the sultan with a view of
securing the upper hand In Morocco.
