"The Bines."
There are two opposite tendencies In
inptllcnl practice of the present day.
One regards mental disturbances ns de
pendent upon abnormal physical states ;
tle other looks upon the mind ns the
regulator of, or at least exerting ft very
marked Influence upon, the health of
the' body, rtoth these views are un
doubtedly rljjht in part, and both are
wrong' In their exclusiveneRS, In refus
ing to admit that the mind and the
IkxI.v exert a reciprocal Influence upon
each other. Mens sana in corpore sana,
a sound mind In ft sound body, was the
nni'lent deflnlcatlon of perfect health,
lit It was the recognition of the fact
that both mind and body have to do
with health, and that neither can be
disordered without acting reflexly upon
the other.
Putting aside the discussion of the
Influence of the mind upon the body,
which no one who has given thought to
Mibjci'l, liuwevcr materialistic In
ills conceptions he may be, can doubt.
It may be interesting nnd profitable as
well to note an Instance of Hie opposite
Influence; of the effect upon the mental
vision of a slight bodily defect.
Every one knows from sad experience
thnt uncomfortable condition' most ap
propriately called "the blues." It Is a
state of temporary pessimism, during
which the unhappy victim can see no

NEW AML'SKMENT FOR PASSENGERS ON BIG STEAMERS.
A new umuHcmcnt for passengers on occ.in liners has been introduced on
board some Paclilc steamers. It Is a swimming bnth on deck big enough to
hold about a dozen people at once. The bnth Is filled with sea water. Pas
sengers can enjoy their swim without fear of sharks. Illustrated London

sliver lining to the clouds that beset
his soul. The mental faculties are not
Impaired, reason and Judgment remain,
and one will even admit, when argued
with, that things nre not as black ns
they Reein, yet lie cannot dissipate the
fog that surrounds him and shuts out
from ills mental view all the blessings
of his lot.
It seems as If nothing Is more purely
mental than an attack of the blues, yet
In fact nothing Is more purely physical.
It has no foundation of real grief,
neither Is It due to any apparent dis
ease of tho body. In fact, as has been
aigued wry plausibly by a California
physician, it is frequently due to nb
domlnal congestions. This may seem
absurd, but Its explanation Is rational.
The mind, In Its prison of the body,
Is dependent uion the healthy function
of the brain culls, and this function de
pends upon a supply of good, pure
blood. Stagnation anywhere In the sys
tem prevents this supply, and nowhere
la stagnation more apt to occur than In
the alMlonilnal organs. Any one suffer
ing from the blues can prove this by
nerving himself to a courso of alxloin
Inal exercise, bending over to touch the
toes, twisting from side to aide, and
contracting the walla of the abdomen
fifty to oni hundred tlmes.at the same
time expanding the chest and taking
long breaths. Follow these exercises
by a good brisk walk, and then search
yourself for the blues.
Apple ana Inaomnla.
A medical writer declares that th
apple Is such a common fruit that very
few persons become familiar with lta
medicinal properties. The best thing
Just before going to bed, he says, is to
eat an apple. "Persons uninitiated In
the mysteries of the fruit," he con
tinues, "are likely to throw up their
hands In horror at the visions of dys
pepsia which 6uch a suggestion may
summon up, but no harm can come even
to a delicate system by the eating of
a ripe and Juicy apple before going to
bed. The npple Is excellent brain food,
because it has more phosphoric acid In
easily digested shape than any other a week. Philadelphia Inquirer,

President Roaevclt'a Good Time.
When President Roosevelt was leav
ing Washington this summer for his
Oyster Bay vacation, some friends ex
pressed their sympathy for him on the
great burden of his arduous tasks and
tremendous responsibilities. "Oh, do
not waste- any sympathy on me," he
suld, "I have enjoyed every minute of
my bluy la WusMiigton. I have had a
perfectly corking time."
Most men would take the Presidency
so seriously, they would be so weighted
down with Its tremendous responsi
bility nnd so anxious all the time lest
things should not go right, lest they
should make some terrible mistake,
that they would not really enjoy them
seles very much. Sensitiveness, timid
ity
would keep many Presidents f rom
real enjoyment because of an embar
rassing self-consleousness as to how
they were deporting themselves, how
others were regarding them. They
would drend the cartoon, caricature
and criticism of the press so much that
they would get very little pleasure or
comfort out of their olllce.
But Mr. Roosevelt always gives the
Impression that he Is renlly having a
good time. He says he gets lots of fun,
as he goes along, from the humorous
and ludicrous things that nre constant
ly happening, and that there are plen
ty of them In his home life.
-When your husbnnd or father comes
home again with a thundercloud on his
face, looking as though he thought he
were Atlas carrying the world on his
shoulders, Just laugh him out of his
seriousness; tell him how President
Roosevelt manages to carry the wel
fare of a. nation, and still keeps him
self fresh sunny and happy. Success

The skin is not simply an outer covering of the body, but through its
thousands of pores and glands it performs the great and necessary work of
regulating our temperatures, and also assists in disposing of the refuse and
waste matters of the system by the constant evaporation that goes on
through these little tubes. To perform these duties the tissues and fibres
which connect and surround the pores and glands must be continually nour
ished by pure blood. When from any cause the circulation becomes infected
'with impurities and humors, it loses its strengthening powers and begins to
disease and irritate the delicate tissues, and produces Eczema, Acne, Tetter,
or some other itching, disfiguring skin trouble. S. S. S. cures skin diseases
of every kind by going down into the circulation and neutralizing and remov
irfg the impurities and humors. It changes the quality of the blood from an
acrid, fiery fluid to a cooling, health-producing stream, which, instead of
irritating and inflaming the skin, cures and nourishes it by its soothing,
healthful qualities. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., may be used for any tem
porary comfort or cleanliness they afford, but skin diseases cannot be cured
until S. S. S. has purified the blood. Book on Skin Diseases and any med
