Since Pasteur demonstrated the fact
that many human diseases are due to
minute living things which grow and
multiply in our bodies, there has been
a tendency to call all microscopic or
ganisms, whether harmful or not,
"germs" or "microbes" or "bacteria"
indiscriminately. This confusion may
be cleared by the statement that pro
tozoa are the lowest known forms of
animals and that bacteria are the low
est known forms of plants, while
"germs" and "microbes" may apply to
the disease-causing forms in either

, Do Something for the Boys.
Secretary Shaw makes a few teres,
remarks every little while on "The
Boy." The Secretary is pretty sure to
make the friendship of boys generally
because he talks directly to fathers
when he says that boys want the com
panionship of boys and that the home
should welcome the boy as much as It
does the baby and the man. Secretary
Shaw calls attention to the fact that
the world Is producing a higher type of
womanhood than of manhood; that
there are more young women whom
yea would welcome to your homes as
daughters-in-law than young men
whom you would welcome as sons-in-law.
He says there Is no excuse for
this, although there are reasons,
among which Is that about the only
place where the boy Is sure of a cordial
greeting is where you do not desire
him to go.

A Bantam to the Rescue.
, One day a flock of sparrows Were
noticed flying excitedly around a bouse,
and on going near I saw that a young
sparrow had fallen from a nest under
the tiles and was too young to fly
back.
Suddenfy a bantam cock stepped for
ward. He evidently quite understood
the state of affairs, for he picked the
little mite up very tenderly in his beak,
mounted an empty cart that happened
to be conveniently near, flew from it
on to the tiles and, stretching his neck
out over the edge replaced the sparrow
in its nest
In doing so, hovrever, he overbal
anced himself and tumbled ' to . the
ground. But after 'pluming his feath
ers for a minute he strutted about the
yard none the worse for his adventure
and evidently very proud of his exploit.

A Wonderful Discovery.
Broadband. S. Dak., March 28.
Quite a sensation baa been created here
by the publication of the story of G.
W. Gray, who after a special treatment
for three months was prostrate and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease lias
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr.
Gray, there is a remedy which will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says :
"I was helpless as a little babe.
My wife and I searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease, hoping that I would
be able to find a remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that I . should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I praise God
for the day when I decided to do so for
this remedy met every phase of my case
and in a shoot time I was able to get
out of bed and after a few weeks' treat
ment I was a strong, well man. Dodd's
Kidney Pills saved my life."
A remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney Dis
ease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certain
ly the most wonderful discovery which
modern medical research has given to
the world.
CAT CANNOT SUCK BREATH. '
Old Superstition la TJpaet by the
Highest Medical Author it lea.
Can a cat really suck the breath of a
child?
We have always heard that it could.
Away back in early childhood we dis
tinctly remember of frequent warn
ings to look out for the cat. Do not
allow the cat to get into bed with the
baby, as it is liable to suck the baby's
breath, which would cause the baby to
die.
Is there any foundation for such a
notion as this? We never could dis
cover any real meaning to the belief
that a cat can suck the breath of a
child. Indeed, the sentence is totally
unintelligible.
What is meant by sucking the
breath? It may be true that the cat,
attracted by the breath of a child
who had recently been nursing, might
attempt to interfere in some 'manner
with the child's mouth. In young cats
the impulse to nurse might be excited
by the smell of the child's breath.
It is barely possible that the cat might
be seized with a desire to bite or to de
vour the child's lips or tongue, lured
on by the smell of milk. We are not
in a position to deny these possibili
ties. Maybe they are true.
But not any of these suppositions
furnish a basis for the statement that
the cat is liable to suck . the child's
breath. We have always heard this
statement with a shudder of horror.
It 'seems to convey some weird, hor
rible tragedy that can hardly be imag
ined. But it is a mere fancy, the ori
gin of which is hard to explain.
Yet we would advise mothers to be
careful about leaving the infant with
a cat. We do not favor rlie idea of
cats sleeping with children. Nor do
we favor the practice of children play
ing with cats, handling them, mopping
them around the floor, fondling them,
dressing them up as dolls. It is not
good for the cat. It is not good for
the child. Neither cats nor dogs ought
to be treated in this manner. They are
all right in their place, but they are
not fit for playthings.
If the superstition that a cat can
suck a child's breath has operated as a
preventive to mothers allowing their
children to play with-oats it haV? served
a very good purpose, but such childish
notions are hardly compatible with ma
ture reflection. It is one of the old
wives' fables which may have served
a good purpose, but It is too ridiculous
for repetition. There are other and
better reasons why the cat and baby
should not be left together than the
vague, unintelligible fear that the cat
will suck the child's breath. Medical

'I will ever continue to speak a good

results. I am still enred of catarrh."
John O. Atkinsen,

When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peru

'only remedy yet devised that meets
these cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally ;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure theeji. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
