The philosophy of the Drug Idea is to give a sick person some dead ly j clfeon that causes, another kind o' s c knees, or makes .the man ill in another way. So .the patient is giv en a disease in order to cure him of another, or make him. Immune from one'. Vaccination le the injec tion into the system of a virus or poison which gives the . person a disease, in. order to keep him from catching one; the drug- idea in an other form. The whole scheme of swalllng poisons Or inoculating the body ,wlth a virus, . had Its rise in the belief that disease wae caused by a devil, and In order to get well you had to drive the devil out. The casting out of the devils was a liter al proposition. Later we were told by pious friends that God had! pro vided a remedy for every t disease. They did' not tell us that God had first supplied the disease. It was assumed that the devl) sent the dis ease, and then God in hla love sent the remedy. Great as was Linnaeus, he taught thls'doctrine of divine-healing plants Our belief is now that Nature nev er contemplated disease, but that constant health la the most natural thing In the world. If we live right ly we are' proof against disease. What we want le resisting power or resiliency. Alt drugs first excite, and then reduce vitality, laying you ope a to disease. There Is really no immunity except through - health. Drugs, virus and poisons always mean danger. Many so-called dis eases are the results of the drug habit. Vaccination, kills a thousand more people than- smallpox does, could or can ''The Fra." January, 1910.

It mav have struck vn.i that ,... tropical fruits have thick op hnni nr nauseous rinds, which need to be torn off before the monkeys or birds for wnose use thev are Intended enn trot at them and eat them. Our nnrthftrn Strawberries, raspberries, currants aud nortleberries. develoDed with n in. gle eye to the pretty robins and finches of temperate climes, can be popped into the mouth whole and eaten as they stand. They are meant for smnll birds to devour aud to disperse the tiny undigested, nutlike seeds in return ror the bribe of the soft duId that mir. rounds them. But it is quite otherwise with oranges, shaddocks, bananas, plantains, mangoes and pineapples. Those great tropical fruits can only be eaten properly after stiionlnir off the hard and often acrid rind that guards and preserves them. They lay them selves out for dlanerslon bv monkevn. toucans and other relatively large and powerrui rruit eaters, and the rind is put there ns a barrier against small thieves who would rob the sweet pulp but be absolutely incapable of carry ing away and dispersing the large and richly stoned seeds It covers. Cornhill Magazine. A Cat Operation., , ., I saw something today that pushes the limit" said a youug married man who had Just returned from the cat and dog hospital. He bad been there to take his wife's pet cat, that had broken her leg. .. ..i What was that?" naturally the wife asked him. "A cat that was being treated for a mole orf Its nose. There wasn't a thing on earth the matter with the animal except that It had a tiny mole. The owner of the cat, a fashionably dressed young woman heavy with furs, said it spoiled the animal's beauty. Who ever heard of such a thing? Torturing a poor cat Just to have a mole removed from its nose." New York Press.
