MICROBES OF A BACHELOR.
Down on Doctors Preacheri. Base-
ball Widows Bicycles Etc.
The world existed thousands of
y< an and people lived to a green
old age in all the past generations
without co much as dreaming that
they were swallowing the deadly
microbe and bacillus with sack
swallow of water and each mouth
full of food. Truly
“Where ignorance is bliss tie folly
to be wise.’’
Every disease according to the
latest theory has its germs in a
microbe bacillus or some otber in-
flniteeimal insect only discoverable
by means of a microscope. Even
consumption isprapogated through
one of these tiny things that insin-
uates itself surreptitiously into a
person’s lunge.
The talk and the din indulged in
by the medical journals and doc-
tors concerning microbes bacillus
etc. insinuating themselves into
our bodies through ordinary food
and drink has made stout hearted
people nervous distrustful and
pan ickyand has so greatly alarmed
the timid and hysterical that they
are afraid to eat food and to drink
water.
The microbe and the bacillus
theory embitters life and renders
one thoroughly miserable even
though be be enjoying robust
health and an excellent digestion ;
as there is n-o knowing at what
time he may swallow a microbe or
a bacillus those sure breeders of
deadly diseases In the bodies of
men and women. It is no longer
the torpidity of the liver or the
constipation of the bowels that
makes men sick. The microbe or
the bacillus has done all the devil-
ment.
Of course no layman should pre-
sume to question what the doctors
say respecting the causes of
diseases; but for all that I am
sorry to the core of my heart that
the deadly microbe and bacillus
were ever introduced on the stage.
How can a person be happy who is
liable to swallow a microbe bacil-
lus or bacteria etc. with every
mouthfull of food and drink of
water. The shirt of Nessus and
the sword of Damocles suspended
only by a hair above one were
“light afflictions” compared to the
hourly and daily exposure to tbe
danger of swallowing unconscious-
ly dozens of deadly microbes and
bacilli.
It has been my misfortune to be
sick a good deal and my experi-
ence ta that each doctor called in
by me has a pet remedy of his own
discovery on which he relies most
implicitly for working a cure. The
result Is every fresh doctor that
calle to ste me diecards all the pre-
scriptions of his predecessors as so
much rubbish and causes me to
buy medicines and drugs enough
to stock a country drugstore.
But this might be borne after
one had become accustomed to it.
Dr. Fancier forbids me to eat cer-
tain food assuring me it is un-
wholesome and unfit food for a
sound man in robust health but
Dr. Know-it-all who succeeds him.
tells me to eat tbe very articles of
food prohibited by Dr. Fancier
and under no considerations to eat
the food prescribed by Dr. Fancier.
The truth of the matter is that
what with the microbes bacilli
etc and the changes made in the
diet by the doctors it real-
ly is being perplexing to know
what course to take when so many
roads branch off on all sides. Some
of my very best friends are doctors
but their prescriptions are hugely
distasteful to me and are often
flung out of the window on tbe
sly when the doctor has his back
to me.
As I am a bachelor I love quiet
and peace and hate noise and fuss.
Hasp ball has come to be a love to
me. and it would not put me out
at all were all baseballists decapi-
tated. Bicycle riders male and fe-
male should be run into a lunatic
asylum.
I am mightily tempted to flee to
“a lodge In some vast wilder-
ness” far away from lawyers doc-
tors preachers bicyclists baseball-
lets widows and old maids and
spend my days in quiet peace and
contentment free from vexing
cares. Old Bach.
A PIONEER’S RECOMMENDATION.
Mr. J. W. Venable of Downey a
pioneer of Los Angeles county
Cal. says: “Whenever I am trou-
bled with a pain in the stomach or
with diarrhoea I use Chamberlain’s
Colic Cholera and Diarrha Rem-
edy. I have used it for years know
It to be a reliable remedy and
recommend It to every one.” For

for the Care mid 4muaem«nt
of 111 Children.
In dangerous illness when the hos-
pital nurse has control of the sick-
room. a well-ordered routine is quickly
established but in less serious cases
(where trained help is not sought) and
during convalescence a few practical
hints on the home nursing of children
may at the present time especially
be offered says the London Times.
To begin with food or medicine should
never be prepared or discussed before
alittle patient nor should the doctor’s
opinion or the child’s symptoms be
talked over. Children often catch half
phrases and misunderstand whispered
conversations and so form terrifying
anticipations of their illness and its
treatment As drinks are sure
to be in constant demand
weak lemonade may generally be
given but children often prefer pure
water. It is best to use a small glass
and only give the exact quantity al-
lowed; no thoughtful nurse will dis-
appoint a thirsty child with*the trying
admonition "not to drink it all!” Now
Is the time to remember expressed pref-
erences and dislikes judiciously ig-
nored in days of health. Children as
a rule are more guided by their eyes
than by their palates and fancies pre-
vail strongly in the young; even in
health very imaginary dislikes are
taken which an alteration in appear-
ance or even name will remove. For
instance a small invalid had been eat-
ing a little pink shape which served
in a glass saucer almost masqueraded
as a strawberry ice before she demand-
ed the name of her “pretty pudding."
"Ground rice dear” the incautiously
candid nurse replied. “Oh” mournful-
ly; “then I can’t eat any more for I
remember I don’t like ground rice."
Highly-flavored dishes are seldom
liked by children and are quite un-
suitable for them but a pretty appear-
ance will make simple nourishing
forms of diet inviting. Half a dozen
glace cherries or a few “hundreds and
thousands” scattered over a pla in blanc-
mange turns it into a "party” dish.
The portion of custard or milk pud-
ding which would have no attraction
if sent from the nursery table becomes
quite desirable if baked in a tiny dish
and the joy of helping oneself will pos-
sibly lead to a second supply being
consumed. The bread and butter or
bread and jam at teatime made into
thin sandwiches then cut into narrow
Ungers and built up crosswise on the
child's plate lends the interest of de-
molishing the pyramid to help out the
languid appetite. A child’s dislike to
beef tea soup or beaten-up egg and
milk may sometimes be overcome if
the novelty of taking it through a tube
■or straw be adopted. What matter if
returning energy suggest the blowing
of a few bubbles when the nourishing
compound has gone to build up tissue
and muscle anew.
In illness where coaxing is legiti-
mate a little story will sometimes help
down unwelcome but necssary food a
fresh mouthful accompanying each
item mentioned; this recalls the realis-
tic adventures of an imaginary boy
starting on a journey by train and the
weak smile (the first seen for many
days bn a pale little facet. which
greeted the exciting climax "And
this is the guard who closed tbe door
with a bang; and this is the bang!” as
the last spoonful was valiantly swal-
lowed.
Another little victim of influenza al-
most enjoyed her obnoxious cough
mixture from the happy thought of
putting the medicine into her doll’s
teapot and allowing her to pour it for
a pretended doll's tea party at which
•he was the sole guest! Any trivial
devices which lessen the chances of
pevishness or tears are worth consid-
ering; small wants and wish?* should
be complied with as mueh and as
quickly as possible. The indefinite
"presently dear” so trying in health
seems unbearable in illness; when
the thing petitioned for is not
practicable some substitute should be
found or diversion of thought sug-
gested. With returning health nurs-
ery discipline can be resumed for
ordinary boj-s and girls are only too
eager to throw off invalid ways and
of all patients children are the least
likely to become malades imaginaires.
The invalid bed table makes the best
vantage ground for toys but if not at
hand a large Japanese or tin tray is not
a bad substitute. On it the boy can
maneuver his tin soldiers or the girl
give her doll a party. The most com-
fortable bed wrap is a light flannel
jacket made with a wide whole back
which permits the arms to be slipped
in easily and loose sleeves ending
above the nightdress cuff which does
not then ruck up the arm. In cold
weather it should be lined throughout
with white wadding lightly quilted
an extra lining not being required
and when any part is worn off or soiled
it can be easily renewed. This cozy
garment can be run up tn an hour or
two if wanted in a hurry and in cases
of bronchitis conjestion etc. is the
best possible protection against fresh
chills.—Chicago Tribune.
