BENEFITS IN DISEASE
THE PRETZEL
Typhoid, if You Pull Through,
Gives You a New Stomach.
GOOD EVEN IN RHEUMATISM.
That Painful Affliction Keeps Other
Miseries Out of the System and Is a
Promoter of Long Life—Blessings of
Colds and Smallpox.
To be struck down liy disease seems
n most undesirable tliln?. yet there are
many living today In the fullest en
joyment of very excellent health who j
but for an attack of some disease j
would have lived a life of almost per- ;
petunl misery.
These people were, tlrst of all, vie- I
tints of indigestion in Its worst form, !
nnd only those who have experienced
It know what true indigestion is. j
Struck down by typhoid fever, they
rnrae through the trying ordeal cured
of indigestion, for one outstanding ec
centricity of typhoid is that if you :
pass through an attack safely it gives
you a new stomach. In fact, after an
attack of typhoid the victim Is usually
left with a stomach like an infant.
That is the grand'chance offered to
one who has suffered, it may be, for
long years from acute indigestion. If
only he takes care, after an attack of
typhoid ho need never know indiges
tion again.
Be it remembered Hint any one trou
bled with severe Indigestion Is not ad
vised to go hunting around for typhoid
fever. That might prove to be a disas
trous course to follow.
A chronic cold Is just one of those
things which none of us want, yet
even a chronic cold has its good points,
more especially if you happen to be up
In years a bit—not too old. of course. I
People who arc «up in years nnd who
suffer from chronic bronchitis seem '
to gel remarkably well. It keeps the 1
blood in good circulation, for, of
course, the victims have to cough, nnd
that gives the henrt a jerk and sends !
the blood coursing nicely through the |
veins nnd arteries.
If the cold Ito not too acute, old peo
ple derive considerable benefit. An
acute attack, on the oilier hand, may
suit off an old person In a day or two.
II is the chronic type only which yields
benefit.
Smallpox is a dreaded scourge, so
much so that if it be reported that a
case exists in a neighborhood a thrill
passes through the whole community
Its Simple Figure Scheme and Infinite
Possibilities of Variety.
The pretzel is one of the most re
markable creations <>f the human mind
nnd hand. It stands almost alone as
an arllfielal product displaying the
countless varieties of form produced
by nature in the leaves of trees and
blades of grasses. Of the millions
upon millions turned out by the pretzel
bakeries since (lie Inception of the in
dustry it is not probable that any two
were exactly alike.
The general figure scheme of the
pretzel must have been an inspiration
It would have been Impossible for the
human mind to conceive a scheme so
simple and yet permitting such ap
proach 4o infinite variation. Because
of til" peculiar shape of the pretzel its
construction Is most easily described
by employing sailor men's terms. A
bight Is taken in a roll of dough, and
the ends are given a tinlf twist and
brought back upon opposite sides of
the bight. This makes the article
somewhat henrt shaped. There* can
have been no sentimental reason for
this shape, for there Is no product of
art or nature further removed from the
realm of sentiment than Is the pretzel.
The finished article looks as if it had
been varnished ami exposed to a sand
storm before tlic varnish dried.
The pretzel is unique as an article of
internal use. it cannot bo classed as
food or drink. It Is not n dessert, nor
Is It n medicine. Perhaps It should bo
classed as an appetizer—an appetizer
not for food, but for drink, and thurein
lies its uniqueness. Il is the great
thirst producer, it is the third of a
Sahara done lip In a twist of dough.
If any one could invent something that
would quench thirst as effectively as
the pretzel can produce It bis fortune
would be made.
The home of the pretzel is Ger
many, where it is called bretzel or
pretzel, according to whether it is in
north Germany or south Germany, but
in America it Is pretzel all the time,
whether in North America or South
America. The name Is commonly re
garded as being derived from words in
the Latin language meaning bracelet.
But Germans are not fond of taking
words from the Latin tongues. Per
haps tlio pretzel owes Its name to the
fnet that It Is baked on a flut, board-
like surface. The German word for
hoard Is brett—Washington Post.
READING THE STARS.
An Author’s Mastery of the Science of
Navigation.
“By the end of the week, teaching
myself,” writes Jack London In Ilar-
Yot those who suffer from smallpox per’s Weekly of his mastery of the sel-
nml recover usually live to n green old ' once of navigation, ”1 was able to do
age. It seems to renew life In some ! divers things. For instance, I shot the
mysterious way by thoroughly purify
ing the blood.
If, however, you desire to attain to
n ripe old age, you cannot got on at all
without rheumatism. Consider the
hosts of old folks you encounter hob
bling about, grumbling nil the day
about their bones nnd joints. In nil
probability these old people would
have been in their graves years be
fore but for this very rheumatism.
The reason is that if rheumatism is
in the system it keeps other ills out.
It makes n grand fighting force nnd
keeps most other enemies of the hu
man frame at bay, especially those of
the germ type.
Very naturally if you have such a
grand friend at hand you bnve to pay
something for aid rendered, but the
pain of rheumatism, if shockingly se
vere at times, is not dcndly, nnd that
Is why one gets so little sympathy
when suffering from rheumatism.
But the plain fact is that a slight
malady always benefits you, even if
Indirectly. As an example of that.
Bay a very bad spell of weather comes
along, cold and wet. and you contract
a slight chill.
What do you propose to do? Why,
to take the greatest care of yourself
and make as certain as possible that
your cold gets no chance of develop
ing into anything worse. Now, did
that very slight cold not make its ap
pearance nnd cause you to be ex
tremely careful of what you did there
Is no saying what might happen to
you any day during a spell of evil, cold
weather. You might have exposed
yourself so much that a severe chill
would have seized you, followed by
Inflammation of the lungs.
Accordingly a slight cold may easily
save you from many worse ills.
In this way minor afflictions act as
warnings that worse tilings are com
ing along, but -unfortunately many
persons quite neglect these warnings.
A man, for example, has indigestion
more or less constantly, yet pays little
heed, always expecting that it will dis
appear one day. Now, if he had Just
paid attention to the matter at the be
ginning-heeded the warning, in short
—he might not have been let in for a
severe liver attack later on.
Every pain, every ache, every head
ache-all these are warnings that
something else is on the way and will
be along shortly—Pearson’s Weekly.
North star, at night, of course—got Its
altitude, corrected for index error, dip,
etc., and found our latitude. And tills
latitude agreed with the latitude of the
previous noon corrected by dead reck
oning up to that moment. Proud?
Well, I was even prouder with my
next miracle. I was going to turn in at
!) o’clock. I worked out the problem
self instructed niul learned what star
of the first magnitude would be pass
ing the meridian around half past 8.
This star proved Vo be Alpha Gruels. I
had never heard of the star before. I
looked it up on the star map. It was
one of the Btars of the Southern Cross.
What, thought I! Have we been sailing
with the Southern Cross in the sky of
nights and never known it? Dolts that
we are! Gudgeons and moles! I
couldn’t believe it. I went over the
problem ngnln and verified it. Charml-
au had the wheel from S till 10 that
evening. I toid her to keep her eyes
open uud look due south for the south
ern Cross, and when the stars came out
there shone the Southern Cross low on
the horizon. Proud? No medicine man
nor high priest was ever prouder. Fur
thermore, with the prayer wheel I shot
Alpha Cruels and from its ultitude
worked out our latitude, nnd still fur
thermore I shot the North star, too,
and it agreed witn what hud been told
me by the Southern Cross. Proud?
Why, the language of the stars was
mine, and I listened and heard them
telling me my way over the deep.”
An Idea of Business.
“Does your titled son-in-law know
anything about business?”
"Well," answered Mr. Cumrox
doubtfully, “he has had a lot of ex-
perience with promissory notes, and
he knows how to get a check raised."—

The Lightweight Champion.
Simpkins—You say that little man
twas formerly the lightweight cham
pion? Timklns—Yes. Simkins—How
did he lose the title? Timklns—Oh, lie
didn't lose it. He merely sold his gro
cery and retired.—Chicago News.
Weight of a Lion.
What does a lion weigh? Those who
know the look of the king of beasts
best nnd how small his little body
really Is will probably come farthest
from the truth. About 300 to 350
pounds Is a usual estimate, but a full
grown lion will tip the scales at no
less than 500 pounds. Five hun
dred nnd forty pounds is the record for
an African lion. His bone is solid nnd
heavy as ivory. The tiger runs the
lion very close. A Bengal tiger killed
by an English officer scaled 520 pounds.
A tiger this size has, however, con
siderably more muscular strength than
the biggest lion.
One Point Gained.
“Has that girl next door to you
still got her parlor meiodeon?”
“No; she exchanged it for a cornet,
I’m glad to say.”
“But, gracious, If she plays the cor
net, that’s worse, Isn’t it?” a
“Not at all. It’s only half as bad.
She can’t sing while she’s playing the
cornet."—Philadelphia Press.
The Two Women.
An old offender was introduced to a
new county justice as John Timmins,
alias Jones, alias Smith. «

the justice. “Bring in Alice Jones.”—

A LETTER FROM
NORTH CAROLINA
Warrenton, N. C.—I was nearly dead
with kidney affection for six months,
growing worse all the time. My case
was hopeless—was unable to get about
but littie. I had tried everything with
little benefit. I took three bottles of
Stuart’s Buchu and Juniper und was
perfectly cured. Am now well and all
right. I owe my life to Stuart’s Buchu
and Juniper.—H. T. Macon.
If you suffer with backuche, dull head
ache, swollen feet, stiff joints, and have
no energy and see imaginary specks in
the air, you have symptoms of kidney
trouble.
Stuart’s Buchu and Juniper will relieve
you. All druggists, 81.00. Write for

One Industry of tho Pesky Ant.
Out In Burma and the far east, where
sandalwood Is worth Its weight in sil
ver. the pestiferous ant is a valuable
assistant to the loggers of that precious
timber. The hard and fragrant heart-
wood alone has value, but as the tree
grows this valuable heart is overlaid
by a soft and worthless layer forming
two-thirds of the trunk. When a tree
Is felled and cut Into lengths the log
gers let the timber lie. At once the
ants begin work upon the soft wood,
which is sappy and sweet enough to
attract them. In a few weeks, less
than a month in the case of the largest
butts, the ants deliver the heartwood
free of all the worthless sapwood.
I ricking the Mans.
Chinamen have a way of tricking
hens so that they assist in the hatching
of fish. Fish eggs are carefully placed
In an eggshell, which is then sealed
and placed under an unsuspecting hen.
In a few days the spawn Is warmed
Into life, and the contents of the shell
are then cast into a shallow pool, where
the sunshine completes the work.
