Most of them suggested that he get a basket, but finally one oi them told him of a patent medicine. "ISo the man whose hair was bothering him got a bottle of the medicine and dis covered that it was a dark brown sti-fey I stuff that he was to rub on his hair five 1 times a day. He tried it the first day, and it appeared to do good, but the sec ond day some one gut there first, and emptying the bottle of medicine, filled it tip with sarsaparilla. And all day long that poor man rubbed the soft drink on his hair'and never noticed the ditferenie.

The habits of people in general do not seem so bad when one considers the average individual's limitations as to knowledge and thought. The fact is that most people don't know, don't think, and hence don't eare. Let them read more science, think more sensibly and act more seriously, then their hab its will bo more satisfactory. The alimentary reeeptabie—the stom ach or vat in which foods and liquids are received and mixed —is habitually con verted by many persons into a chemical retort of all sort of drugs and remedies, with the view of reaching and relieving the ills of the various organs of thebody, from dandruff to corns. The writer be lieves that he can give no more and bet ter reasons for his confidence in the therap-Mitic value of remedies than most other physicians, but he wishes to em phasize herethe transcendent element of common sense in their administration. Before and above all things, however, what is wanted is a clean gastro-intes tinal canal, and his claim is that water, properly used, is the beet agent to ef fect that cleansing. On a par with this canal in importance are the eliminative tissues and organs of the system, the kidneys, the mucous membrane and skin. What therapeutic agent, properly used, is better than water? After all tho assimilative and eliminative organs and tissues have been thoroughly rinsed with pure, soft water, then, if it be still neces sary to administer a chemical agent, one may be selected that will, with these organs and tissues in better condition, work wonders. If you are so foolish as to allow yourself to. become foul from aead to foot cleanse yourself with wa ter before resorting to chemical aids. — Health. TRAVELER'S COMPASS. Cnl<iiie Mnrphine Instrument Heeent ly I'ntented liy an Atmtro-Huu- Kitrian Inventor. It Is not generally known that when the sun is shining an accurate watch is about as good a compass as a man nead carry, showing at any time of day in just what direction the south pole lies, and enabling anyone to immediately set himself right if he knows in what direction he should be traveling. By pointing the hour hand to the sun the south pole will be found just half way between that point on the dial and the figure 12. But for the man who is on a long trip through country which is str.inge to him there can be no substi tute for the compass, as the sun will not shine every day, and the points of direction are hard to locate without it unless this convenient little instrument is at hand. Even with its use, how ever, instances are on record where travelers have forgotten the direction in which they were marching and be come so confused as to double on their track or travel at an angle to the cor rect path. As a precaution against an accident of this character a marching instrument has been designed by a SHOWS DIRECTION OF TRAVEL,. European inventor, as shown in the il lustration. In addition to the box con taining the compass, with its magnetic needle, there is a covering disk of transparent, material, which is capable of rotation. In the cover of the case are two slots, through which the line of march can be sighted from one prominent po ; nt to another, as the traveler progresses. Upon setting out for the journey the exact direction of the destination should be ascertained, and, with the needle pointing to the north, the case should be rotated until the line of vision through the slotted cover will point to the termination of the march. Then, with the case in this position, rotate the transparent disk until the indicating arrow on its sur face parallels the needle beneath. Whenever the direction is needed thereafter it is only necessary to turn the case until fhe two needles point in the same direction, when the slots will give the desired information. —Chicago News.

CAMERON COUNTY TRKSS THURSDAY, JANUARY 28 T. 04. NEW HEADACHE CURE. It CunnlMln of a Miniature Rp(riK»r« atiuK I'liint, Iteoently Patented aii liitiiuna Man. No matter whether a man was out all night the night before, has strained his eyes or eaten something which does not agfee with him, the resulting headache incapacitates him from duty of any sort which requires him to use his brain to any great extent. Every one has his remedy, from a headache powder to a day off, and after the affliction has been cured or outworn it is soon forgotten, and the man will "repeat the dose" when the next opportunity offers. Of course, the best kind of a cure is the prevention of the cause, but since the preaching of this doctrine is not often carried out in practice, we give our readers the benefit of the latest ingenious idea in the line of headache cures, intro ducing the use of chemical refrigerat ing liquids just as though the head were a cold-storage warehouse, around which refrigerants must be pumped in order to lieep the temperature of the contents down below the normal level. The main difficulty seems to be that a MACHINE FOR CURING HEADACHE. man cannot fold the apparatus up and put it in his pocket as he can a head ache powder or other medicine, and, consequently, he must go where the refrigerating plant is located if he de sires this form of treatment. It is in reality just what has been suggested above, a miniature refrigerating plant, with the proper chemicals placed in the flexible bulbs in contact with the temples and a quantity of the liquid which completes the chemical reaction contained in the compresion bulbs held in the hands. The apparatus can be adjusted by means of the turnbuckle to increase or decrease the pressure of the cooling bulbs on the forehead, and as soon as the patient begins squeezing the bulos to force the liquid from one receiver through the pipe and temple bulbs to the opposite re ceiver the cooling agent will commence to act on the head, reducing the tem perature and driving the blood back to the other portions of the body, in stead of allowing it to'enter the head in an abnormal degree.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ELECTRIC LIGHT BATH. liftpniMlcKceiit Kay* Are Said to Pro duce an 10fleet 10 veil More Benef icent Thau Steam. The electric light bath Is one of the latest luxuries to commanu the atten tion of the wealthy. The bath consists of a cabinet, which may be built fur sitting in or lying in. The square cabinet occupies compara tively little space, and may stand in one corner of the bath-room. The oblong cabinet takes up consiueraule room, but it is preferable to the square one, as the occupant can lie at lull length and relax comfortably. One hundred incandescent electric light bulbs, each of lti candle power, line the interior of the cabinet. Spaces art' left between for beveled mirrors and reflectors, so that thousands of rays are multiplied and focused on the occupant of the cabinet. These direct and reflect ed rays, argue the exponents of the new bath, are concentrated on the body and penetrate into the deepest tissues, there by stimulating all the vital forces. The oblong cabinet has a tlidiiig table on rollers, whih is pulled out for the bather to lie on. This is paddtd, has a sheet on it and a pillow. After the bather is in position, an attendant pushes the "table"' into the cabinet, leaving the head outside. This enables the bather to inhale fresh air con stantly. It is not absolutely necessary to have assistance in taking the bath, lor a clever person can manipulate the elec tric buttons before entering the cabinet; and in the ease of the obior.g one he can enter by the aperture, taking extra care not to hit the body against the bulbs. However, it is more comfortable to have some one assist in the process, turn ing the lights on gradually until the bather pertpires freely. This result is, of course, accom plished much quicker with some people than with others, but after one of two baths, when the pores are thoroughly opened, from three to five minutes will be required to accomplish what it takes from 15 to 20 minutes to do in a Turkish bath. The te uperature In the cabinet ranges from 100 degrees to 110 degrees Fahren heit, depending on the duration of the bath. The Turkish hot rooms range from 140 degrees to 180 degrees Fahren heit. Agricultural stations have experi mented with the electric light, and have found that it stimulates the vital func tions of both plant and animal life. It is, thertfore, argued that it cannot be oth erwise than beneficial when used on the human body, even if the subject is in perfect health.
