Confinement indoors, often in over-

Dieted rooins—in the home, the otfiee,
the shop and the eehoole, taxes the
vitality of even the steongest. The
blood becomes thin. and watery and Is
clogged with impurities. Some people
huve headaches and a feeling of lan-
guor. Others are low-spirited and
nervous. Still others are troubled

ing .feeling Just as tired as when theY

ing watch and ward on the terrible,
gray,clad figures that deepairingly toil

The sun Sinks lower, the warders,
stationed at measured intervals between
the various gangs, yawn with weary im-
patience andlong for the sound of the
prison bell, When that rings, which it
will do within half an hour, the gangs
will have finished' their work for the
day, and the march for the gloomy pris-
on upon the heights will commence.
The warders yawn impatiently, but
the silent, gray-claa figures feel no int-
patienee. Tbey have nothing to long
for, nothing to hope for.
One and all toiling on this particular
plain toil on tilt death, and that has

the captain, coolly. "Swear that yoall

"All right, captain," replies the ether,
eagerly. "Go on, if it's only for talk-

strain of long -sustained fear and ex-

"You're right, ,Tem, I have a game
on the board already. It wouldn't be
me if I hadn't. It's a good game, too,
and worth playing. Better then the

If you are plannIng an ocean trip and
want to be perfectly sure that you aro
going to escape the torments of ocean
reughneas it ts plain front modern dis-
coveries that you will have to pay at-
tention to your eats. Foe they are the
whole trouble, according to Dr, Norman
Demme who believes that seasickness
Is caused by a fluid called "endolymph.
which Is found in the canals connected
with the. human ear.
Tliete canals Dr. li,ennelt describes as
"human spirit, levels,' and the motion of
a ehip causes the fluid to be thrown vio-
lently against the tildes of the canale,
which have hiller ilnihgs richly sup-
plied with nerves In (Menet connnunication
with the brain and the stomach.
It is therefore natural that the pitch-
ing and the rolling cot the boat double
the effect. of sickness The rolling mo-
tion of the boat usually has not the eaine
bad efteet that pitching has, for pitch-
ing affects the vertical canals ennitected
with the ate while rolling only affects
the horizontal canal, there being two
vertleal ones to every horieental one.

eidered a hardship. on the farmers and

eeenis to las a fair opinion that If

it seems good to us, is that the farm.

good and costs very little, and cut
off the eharp tips on the horns be-
fore they leave the farm, and at

This tipping Is absolutly painless,
easily done, and prevents the beast
