THE SANDERS VILLE HERALD rs sjl h 11 I * I: Wl it ■ ftP By ft i f ; r i L ' i u ■' :¥ if ' ;,V 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."— Washington Star. 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 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. 8«w It. “There’s been a conflagration here," said Cumso, looking at a tall building. “How do you know?” asked Fangle. “I saw the fire escape.”—Kansas City Independent.
