J:HE CLiTgEROE TIMES. FRIDAY. ^FEBRtlAIRY 1909


HEARTH AND HOME. BY W. GORDON-STABLES, M-D.^ R.N.


^ HAPPIER HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE.


If it be true that the t\’ork of the future


ARE YOU WELL DEVELOPED? No man can be called healthy who has


plhysioian will consist in telling people how to keep healthy, then I am myself a future physician already, and have been so for fifteen years or more. Is there a reader of mine bold enough to deny me the title? Am I not always preachdng and preaching to you all, and telling you about the laws of health and ihow to obey them, so as to gain the sugar plum of happiness? Of course I am. But about these happier hon^. Well, as there can t e no happiness with­ out health, therefore, if you make your little home healthy you make it happier. That seems to be good logic, and it should go right slick down into the hcwirts of mothers who read my columns .yid have good re ; suits. There is one thing, mamma, that ;


can never be healthy. W'here there is no sunshine getting into the rooms once a day at least everything is easily upset, and the doctor is too often met comiang upstairs with a face as long and dark as a winter’s morning. Where there is no sunsliine, moreoreii, deadly dust and worse may lurk in comers all unseen, and do injury to your little on.es without being suspected.^ Sun­ shine finds out all these corners, it tells where the dust floats, and it tells yx>u


the young feel merry, and their elders hope- fu' that a better and brighter house than they every occupied as yet may one day be


theirs.


FROM LODGINGS TO- HOUSE KEEPING.


There are, of course, worries both ways,


especially in wihat are called “ furnished apartmeiits.’ There are many good and noaest landlad.es, no doubt, but as a class ■ j.iey ncnly deserve the fate which is si^di- ly overtaking them in these go-ahead times, namely, that of being w ip^ out entirely, l ouiig' men. are begi.rming to see the_ advan­


tages of the well regulated community sys­ tem. More houses, however, are needed of the sort tlrat is partly club, partly t^ - perance hotel, where the guests can live as quietly as they please, and independent even of each oth’er if they choose to remain so, and where the food supplited to them is not only cheap, but good, j This can. only be obtained by cooperation. But those who would really like to have a home of •their owm, for “ be it evectso humble there’s no place like home,’’ should gang most warily at first. If a young man means to take a tvife to sliare his home, he mu^^re- memiber that most .truthful of _ proverbs, “ Marry in haste and repent at leisure. ’ He might marry for love and work for siller, but a bit of cash comes in- handy if one wishes for happiness. However skilful one is nowadays, he falls out of work at times, and poverty hops in. at the door, and makes a strong and too often a^ successful

A very pretty little ornament the cruet-


stand usually is, and quite inviting as it stands temptingly on. the centre of a well- laid table. If it were taken away we should miss it, and dinner would not be half so tempting. It is sometime, however, not quite such an in.nocent piece of table fur­ nishing as it looks. All depends upon what the tiny crystal bottles contain. Let us have a look at the contents of these. First, then-, there is the salt, though this is not kept in tire cruet as a rule, but, so much of it being needed, in salt-cellars here and there to flank the plat».


It


might be better if it w-ere kept in some species of cruet, because nothing is more likely to catch dust and become foul. The salt should be a well-powdered kind, al­ ways dry, and as w’hite as driven snow. Dyspeptics often take far too much of this condiment, and then it has a prositirely troisonous action in the blood. Well, here is the mustard px>t with its silver l id ; and against this those who suffer from indiges­ tion should be warned. Not only is musr tard in large quantities an iiritant to the tender lining of the stomach, but unless

The pepper-castor next draws our attention. The pepper Should always be very fresh and clean,' the old being cleared out, and the cruet washed before the new is put in. Never use anything but black pepper. TTie white looks best, perhaps,; but it is not so rich nor delicious nor whole-' som*e a condiment. Sauces: For -the cruet that contains any of these we stretch out our jirind mechanically, seldom troubling what it con-tains. This is very wrong, and most ruinous, to' the health, of those who have delicate stomachs. Choose a sauce that is not too strong, and one that is not

It is mostly the upper portions thereof that are neg lected, especially by clerks and others who lead a sedentary life, and who get but lit­ tle e.vercLse with the exception of a short Atalk t\TO or three times a day. Walking is the best of all exercises, it is true, only you must really have plenty of it. God made man upright, or rather his ancestors, the apes, learnt to sbind on. their bind legs, tand transmiitted the acconiiplishmlant .to man; but, being upright, man was meant to walk. There is no way of getting out of it. Cycling w on ’t make you strong, motoring is worse, and worse than all is the

PILES FROM WET


DIS.T.RESSING DISEASE ZAM-BUK.


CLOTHING. CURED BY


Piles frequently result from expxisure to


wet and cold, and all those engaged in out-door occupations should read how Zam- Buk has just completely cured a young


worker. Mr. George A. Mason, a TJiomas water­


man and ligliiterman, of 14, Caradoc Street, East Greenwidi, London, S.E., said to a London reporter:— ^'‘ Returning to work after a Ixid attock of rheumatism, I was


■ struck down with bleeding piles. I was not very- strong after itJie rheumatism left me, and was scarcely fit to keep at my work all day in wet clothes. Tlie consequence was that the piles became very bad, bleed­ ing a great deal, and causing me endless misery. I could not sit down, and even when standing quite still the irritation and burntng from the inflamed skin were almost unbearable. Sleep was impossible, and naturally after my illness I soon got into a \-ery weak state. “ I did not neglect any advice offered,


but though I tried all kinds of medicin.es and ordinary ointments, it was only to be constantly disapixanted.


It seemed as

was saved from this. My wife had been trying Zam-Buk for the children’s bruisp


..and cuts, and found it suoh a splendid h'ealer that she persuaded me to. try it too. Soon after commencing with Zam-Buk I experienced a mostsootiiihg sensation, suoh ‘as I had never known since the piles first began. Perseverance was, of course, necessary, but by degrees the pain all went


away. Finally, itlhe piles dried up coiii- pletelly, leaving me quite free from pain and worry, 'Once free of the piles I rapid-

LADIES’ COLUMN. [iBy a Lady Correspondent.]


THE REV. R. J. CAMPBELL AND THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT.


The Rev. R. J. Campbell tliinks that, as


is the chse in- Turkey, the wife should have a legal claim to a px>rtian of tlie family income. It seems strange that Turkish women should enjoy a larger measure (rf independence than Western women, but it is so in this lesipect. In, this country the wife, unless provided for under a marriage settlement, is entirely dependent upon the bounty or generosity of her husband, in­ stead of being, as Mr. Campbell suggests, guaranteed ah. equitable share of the family income. He does not believe, however., that tha.t principle will come to be recog nised until women- get tlie vote, and speak­ ing to the Women.’s Freedom League, he defended the militant tactics -which the suf­ fragists had adopted, as being the surest road to success.


WOMAN’S SENSE OF TIME. A professor of Havard C o l l ie in


America, has made a discovery which has an intimate connection with domestic life and happiness, It is to the effert that women have lio proper sense of timei a conclusion he has arrived at after applying various tests, with a class of women students. One is af.raid that thwe is some truth in tlris indictment, and one reason for it is that paterfamilias has a way of neglecting to keep the clocks in proper order, so diat, although time-keepers are cheap enough, there are vast numbers of homes in wilrich there is always a difficult in knowing tile time.


provided the bird or its plumage adds to the fascinations (?) of a hat, or hair orna merit. Either way, the whole procedure is to be deplored, and all humane people will, with &e Duchess “ long for the day when ladies ivill prefer to leave birds ot beautiful plumage to delight our eyes, in­ stead of wearing their dead bodies -with glass eyes, or their plumage, as a sooalled adornment of their hats.”

CHATBTJRN WESLEY GUILD.

the Wesley Schoolroom entitled “ An Even­ ing with. American Poets.” There was s


very good attendance. Rev. J. C. Baker occupying the chair. In the course of his remarks the lecturer said:— ■ The Poets of America do not form so


large a body numerically as those of our own country.

It is not for the want of cookery books


that the domestic arts are neglected. A short time ago, Constance, Countess De la WlaiT published a book entitled ‘‘ The Eng­ lish Housewife,” giving a selection of old recipes and hints on house-keeping. Most of these are taken from an old book pub­ lished in 1653, and it was the custom in the old days to put these recipies _ into rhyme. Now another Countess, Georgiana, Countess of Dudley, has compiled a similar work, combining ancient culinary wisdom with ■ modern experience, on the arts of cookery- and entertaining. The art of managing a huskind has been summed up in three words “ feed the brute,” and the Countess evidently believes In this theory, as she says a man’s heart may be won in a number of ways but there is only one /ecipe for keeping it— ^proiierly cooked dinners. That, no doubt, is true, but in many cases .it would be w-ell for the “ brute ” to remem iK’r the linies which the Countess quotes:


“ If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner.


And take to light claret, instead of pale ale.


Look down with an utter contempt upon buttery


■ And never touch bread till its toasted or stale.”

Mit­ chell said it was close upon fifty years since he attended the first meeting of the Clith- eroe cricket club, and on that occasion he had the honour to be chairman. They were all young and enthusiastic and at the first meeting he felt in duty bound to prepare a more or less eloquent speech. Unfortun­ ately he srtick fast in, the middle of it and amid a deep silence he endeavoured to pick up the thread of his remarks, but in vain. At last he blurted out “ Come chaps clap a

What had been the secret of the success of the club in its more prosperous davs ? It M-as because the members of the oliib and the members of the eleven had stuck together and sunk personal feelings and petty jealousies and worked together for the honour and benefit of the club to M-hicli they belonged. He hoped that spirit M-ould always continue to animate them. Thtey had seen the great success of their first'eleven on several occasions. They had rejoiced in. those successes and had at­ tended in that room to see them presented with medals. \ They -Miere present that night to see medals presented to their second team, and that was equally a matter for rejoicing.

as cold as ice, and quite numb. Then later on my nen es collapsed, and any noise or e.xcitement gave me a splitting headache, and made me tremble violently. Very often for days togesher I M-ould be attacked by fainting fits. When doctor’s physic failed to do me any good I tried other treatments, but my stomach became more


■ tender and inflamed; and as month after month passed I was more and more weighed down under pain and depression. I had only fitful snatches of sleep at nights in which I was terrified by nightmares. One day, however, I read about an


anaemic girl’s cure by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pi]ls for Pale People, and I decided to try these pills. After I had taken them only a short time ray a.ppetite imijiroved, so I was encouraged to persevere. Steadily my backaches becanae less severe! I slept better at nights, and felt stronger and stronger each day. I oontiinued'taking Dx. Williams’ Pink Pills regularly and was soon (^uite free from .all sickness and indigestion. In time the colour came back to my cheeks, I regained my lost weight, and no longer suffered with any pain or back-weakness. .

A DANGEROUS MODE. There are tt^ay, numbers of fashionable ^


women who invariably clothe (?) themselves iin the • afternoon in tiiie most airy-faiiy bodices or blouses, with fi'lmy yokes, and sleeves. The majority look chilly, and generally unhappy, but they seem to ^Iwy in the fact that tiiiey carii so dress ffiem-


relves and—-■ live. Neiedless to say, the idea is a most mistaken one. If aiiy-fahy we ,

GROWING, Y E S - BUT GROWING AN/EMIC


Sad Progress through the years of Early Womanhood.


An instanoe and a timely cure by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.


Sometimes at the early age of fourteen,


often at twenty or later, the lives of girls and young women ore full of suffering. Many a mother glancing at the pallid fea­ tures and fragile figures of her daughter, realises that her, girl is growing, but growing more Anaemic the longer she lives. As an. illustra.tion., the history of Mrs.


Barron., of 25,, Plevna Street, West Hartle­ pool, is printed here. “Two years ago, at the age of sixteen,” she said to a reporter of the “ Yorkshire Gazette” recently, " I became very pale and thin and scaredy had sufficient strength to walk upstaEs. Soon I was also troubled with Indigestion after meals; could take.
