In the fall when tho cold weather Is approaching tho fur of animals begins be-gins to thicken Trappers catch ant macs In the winter because of the superiority su-periority of their fur at that season their summer fur being very poor and thin This thickening of the fur or hairy covering Is a protection for the winter A corresponding change takes i placo In the vegetable Vor1cIln tho trees plants bushes and shrubs As tho cold weather approaches they thicken thick-en their lark draw In their nap and tho clorophyl of their leaves and the leaves fall off Some little time before tho leaves fall we see tho green color col-or disappear The clorophyl and the i sal had been stored up for use In the spring and thus preparation Is made for winter Corresponding changes take place In human beings If they subject themselves them-selves to natural conditions A shrub that Is left standing out of doors gets ready for winter If It should bo taken up In September and kept I In a greenhouse green-house at a temperature of 70 degrees it would not make preparation for the cold weather Put an animal In a warm building and keep him there and his fur will not thicken for winter win-ter Some interesting obselvatlons have keen made concerning sheep In tho tropics they grow only thin hair but when taken to Siberia they began to grow fine wool which thickened with each generation until they had a thick woolly covering that was ample protection pro-tection against the severities of the climate to which they wore exposed Leave a sheep out of doors and It gets ready for winter Bring It Indoors whore It Is not subjected to natural conditions and It Is not affected by motorologlcal changes This same thIng Is true of human beings Many people when cold Weather comes hldo away In their windproof houses thoroughly barricaded barri-caded against fresh air Under such circumstances the power to mako heat diminishes and they are afraid to como lu contact with cold air because thoy havo coddled themselves too much as tho cold weather has como on When a person Is In that condition condi-tion his vitality Is lowered his resistance re-sistance weakened and ho Is an easy prey to disease There Is BO tonic so good as contact con-tact with cold air The body rallies Its forces to repel the cold and while tho forces of the body barricade themselves them-selves against cold they are also barricading bar-ricading thcmsnlvas against germs All tho vital functions aro affected by tho resistance of the body forces to tho contact of cold Time Htomach makes moro and better gastric Juice tho hlond making

Sacrificed We havo somewhere seen It asserted assert-ed that the women who have done tho most to movo tho world for good were tho women with naturalsized waists We do not doubt tho truth of this Deep
