And Attendant Ills Relieved
B7 Taking Black-Draught.
The Rov. Granville Ed
wards, who lives at School-
field, noar Danville, Vn., was
troubled for a Jong time with
constipation and Its attend
ant Ills, which kept him from
feeling fit. Ho writes:
"Luckily I then, which was
about twenty years ago, heard
about Black-Drought and be
gan to take it. After tak
ing Black-Draught for a little
while I noticed that my trou
ble began to disappear. The
poisons, which had acc’imu-
lated in the body, as a result L
of constipation, were elimi- ^
nated, and I felt a hundred
per cent, better. The dizzy
feeling, which I had felt al
most every morning before
breakfast, was gone.

Growing Demand for
Black Walnut Legs
With the growing popularity o!
black walnut furniture and the in
creasing use of ply wood or veneer
by the manufacturer?, the United
States forest service points to tilt-
great demand for high grade walnut
logs suitable for this use, says the
Pathfinder Magazine. Logs suitable
for cutting into venger must be
18 to 24 indies in diameter at the
small end and practically clear of
defects in order to bring a price of
from $150 to $200 a thousand board
feet at the mill. Larger logs ol
good quality naturally bring higher
prices, but smaller logs uo not bring
more than about $100 a thousand
board feet at the mill.
liOgs at the mills bring higher
prices than logs in the .woods or de
livered at a shipping point, ns
freight is a very large item of cost.
The value of standing timber de
pends greatly on the distance from
the mill to where it is to be convert
ed into timber or vcuccr. The price
for standing walnut trees is about
$50 a thousand board feet less on
the average than at the mill.
And Missionary Had
Hard Work to Explain
Bishop Wiiftam Walter Webb of
Wisconsin said at a Milwaukee
luncheon: “Nothing sharpens the
wits like missionary work. I know a
missionary in Natal who once told
a well-educated and intelligent Zulu
that polygamy was a sin—that tbs
Bible orders us to take but one wife.
“Well, the Zulu was astonished,
for polygamy is a cherished institu
tion among his people, and he asked
the missionary to lend him a Bible,
lie went back with the Bible to hit
kraal and devoted several weeks to
its perusal. Then he visited the
missionary again.
“ ‘Friend missionary/ ho said, 9
have read this wise and holy Book
from end to end, and 1 find no
where in it any such law against
polygamy as you advance—on the
contrary, most of the great and good
men in the Bible seem to have had
many wives.’ ’’—Detroit Free Press.
Silk and Tin Hats
Rev. E. L. Mncassay pleads the
cause of the silk hat. He says that
people will go to church of toner if
the silk topper comes back into
style, lie even goes sc far as to
claim that the silk hat won the war.
But a London halter says: “If
you wear a top hat nowadays you
are liable to bo taken for a cabinet
minister, a mourner, a bridegroom
or a bank messenger.”
A soldier thinks the tin hat did
more toward winning the war than
did all the silk hats in Europe.—
Exchange.
For Railway Signaling
A new kind of glass of a deep
orange color is intended ns a third
color for railway signals. The idea
is to have a distant railway signal
that can be readily distinguished
by the driver on the footplate of an
engine. Light passing through this
glass has good penetration in foggy
air, and when modified in color by
the fog tends to resemble the red
(danger) light.
On Planting of Fish
One reason why there isn’t a suf
ficient number of fish in the streams
is because our system of propaga
tion is wrong. Planting fingorlings
is a waste of time and money. In
stead of releasing the trout when
they are too small to defend them
selves against the larger fish, oui
hatcheries should raise them until
they*are five or six inches in length
Ostrich Flocks Reduced
The ostrich plume, market cen
tered around Oudtshoorn has beer,
practically ruined by the change ol
styles. Ostrich fame - have slaugh
tered their flocks to the extent ot
200,000 since bobbed hair and small
bats became stylish. If the old de
mand for plumes should return at
once it could not be supplied.—Ex

Turning Cutover Lands
Into Redwood Forests
ReTlwood trees, imported from
California and planted in the Grays i
Harbor district of western Wash
ington 14 years ago by one of the
large logging concerns of. the Pa
cific Northwest, have proved a pro
nounced success, according to com
pany officials. As a result, plans
are under way to transform large
areas of cutover lands in the Grays
Harbor region into redwood forests.
In the 14 years a redwood tree has
attained a diameter of 18 inches,
showing more rapid growth than
that of any other .variety of tree
planted at the same time. The tree
also shows every indication of being
high-grade lumber stock. Other va
rieties planted included spruce, fir,
piue and red and white oak. En
couraged by these results, the com
pany is undertaking the growing of
the redwood trees from seed, and in
addition lias planted more than 1,-
000 acres with spruce, fir and pine
seed. Success in these seeding op
erations will lend to reforestation
on a large scale, lumber officials say.
Realization of Day
■ of Week Came Late
There was a very absent-minded
young fellow who belonged to the
Los Angeles Y. M. C. A. He had a
fine mathematical mind but was not
so alert upon other facts and fancies
of the workaday world.
The largo swimming tank in the
Y was always kept filled with water
excepting on Saturday morning, at
which time it received its weekly
scouring. One Saturday morning
this absent-minded man strolled
over to the gymnasium to take a
swim. Ho stepped on the spring
board and without even glancing at
the tank, , he uncorked a perfect,
swan dive.
Two days later when he first re
gained consciousness at the hos
pital, he drawled: “I never could
keep hold of the days of the week—
but ns I rapidly approached the
concrete bottom of the tank, 1 sud
denly realized I was face to face
with Saturday.”
Not Good Fuel
Sir Gilbert Barker records that
when he mentioned to his publisher
the remark of Lord Rosebery to the
etfcct that most of the books on the
average library shelves should be
burned, the publisher replied:
“It is tiie authors who should be
burned.”
That was a nasty one for the nov
elist who, however, rose to the occa
sion by retorting:
“Judging by your share of the
profits, your authors are too green
to burn.”
Seemed Like Ghostly Visit
An inflated automobile tire be
came unfastened from an automo
bile driven by W. Frisbte at Middle-
town, Ohio. The tire bounded
through a window at the home of
Carly Anders, went through another
window on the opposite side of the
house, shattering the glass, and dis
appeared. Members of the family
who were asleep, could not imagine
what had happened until the owner
of the tire called to pay for the
damage.
Not Ready for Use
Patty, age four, was visiting her
grandmother and had been making
the rounds of the poultry houses.
She was much interested in the ap
pearance of each brood. On their
last trip, grandmother lifted the
setting hen off one of the nests and
disclosed, a newly hatched chick, not
yet dry F . “Oh, that one’s not done
yet,” said Patty.
What N net form Eden It
Upou leaving Hollywood, Louis
Sherwin, remarked: “I am glad to
say farewell to a city where the in
habitant know only one word of
two syllables, ‘til-luin’.” Louis
speaks of Hollywood as “that para
dise of the nuciform brain.” A
dictionary which weighs ten pounds
says that “nuciform” means “shaped
like a nnf. ”—WnAlv
Adherence to Mosaic
Laws Preserves Jews
So long as the Mosaic laws con
cerning food are adhered to, says
Dr. Lyle Cameron in tho London
Lancet, the Jews are likely to be
immune to many bacterial diseases
to which other inhabitants of the
same countries are prone. Ordinary
septic infections trouble them but
little, and they are the best suited of
all white races to live in malarial
districts. Of the factors which.have
preserved their racial characteris
tics, health has been one of the most
important.
On tho other hand, tho nervous
system and mentality of the Jew,
although of a high order, is more
likely to break down under stress,
a fact for which persecution may bo
partly responsible. In research un
dertaken by Sieliel in the Frankfort
(Germany) hospital for tho insane,
it was discovered that there were
relatively more Jewish inmates than
the corresponding percentage of the
Jewish population of Frankfort.
This, however, only held for cer
tain groups of nervous disorders.
Tiie Jewish race is peculiarly
susceptible to certain diseases and
immune- to others. Tuberculosis ia
rare and cancer is common among
them, and ihey have always been
considered very prone to diabetes.
Two-Dollar Bill Lends
Itself to Dishonesty
A possible explanation of the su
perstitious dislike of tho two-dollar
bill, and one that has a practical
basis, is given by Paul Kinkead,
in an article in Liberty, who
points out: “The origin of the
superstition is clouded in doubt. A
dozen stories are told of why the
two-dollar bill is unlucky.
“The -truth probably is,” Kin
kead surmises, “that the first issue
of two-dollar bills and the treasury
notes of 189-0 bore a strong resem
blance to tho one-dollar bill and
sometimes were passed out careless
ly. Traveling circuses and merchants
inclined toward dishonesty discov
ered that the two-dollar bill was an
extraordinary medium for short
changing customers, and the bill
became as unpopular U3 any kind of
money ever can be.
“So strong is the superstition rc-
.garding the two-dollar bill,” the
writer explains, “that several times
the government has been urged to
abandon that denomination. The
fact that of $712,246,507 of nation
al bank notes there arc only 81,497
two-dollar bills shows the extent to
which the banks avoid that denomi
nation.”
Lamb Adopted” by Dog
The spectacle of a fivo-wecks-old
puppy and a two-wceks-old lamb,
both being reared and nursed by a
shepherd dog, is reported by Wilson
King, of Carlisle, Ivy. The lamb’s
mother refused to own it and the
baby sheep was taken to the King
home to be fed by hand. In a short
time it was found nursing the fe
male shepherd, alongside the puppy.
•—Indianapolis News.
Saved Pap's Life
The fire trucks were racing along
State street, Bangor, Maine. A
dog, attempting to cross the street,
became bewildered by the verbal
advice showered upon him, and
stopped in the path of tho oncom
ing apparatus. Then a quick-wit
ted policeman threw his billy, which
hit the dog, prompting it to run
for the curb as the trucks whizzed
■past.
Claim Chess Record
ITyman Hendler and Leon Frock-
nick, botli well past their eightieth
birthdays, have just completed
their three thousandth consecutive
chess game at the Brooklyn (N.
Y.) Hebrew Home for the Aged.
These two old chess masters, in es
tablishing what is supposed to be a
record for consecutive play, have
not missed a single day at the chess
board in the three years they have
been together at the home for the
aged.
Growth Retarded by
Doses of Alkaloids
Pharmacologists and physiolo
gists continue .the debate: “Re
solved, that tea, coffee and tobacco
exert an unfavorable action on life
processes.” One of tho latest speak
ers for the affirmative, with data
from liis laboratory to support him,
is Dr. Charles E. Chase, of the Uni
versity of Oklahoma, who has been
endeavoring to determine the influ
ence of nicotine and catfeine on
young chicks. “Large doses of nico-
tino were introduced daily into the
crops of growing chicks,” he stated.
“Records of weight were taken to
determine whether the growth cm-ye
was atfcctcd in comparison to that
of controls which received an equal
amount of water similarly adminis
tered. The results indicate that nico
tine in large doses first stimulated
growth and later retarded it.” Doc
tor Chase repeated tho experiments
with caffeine, the drug in tea and
coffee. “Caffeine retarded the
growth throughout the course of
the experiments,” he assorted. The
physiologist is noncommittal as to
whether ono may draw parallel in
ferences as to the effect of tho alka
loids on man from the Jesuits of
his experiments with chicks.
World May Yet See
Glass Replace Steel
From tho Stone age, civilization
has passed through various “ages”
down to tho present, which is
marked by tho predominance of
steel. In the opinion of some in
vestigators, another substance is
threatening the position of the met
al, says Popular Science Magazine.
That is glass, one of the most fra
gile of all and, until recently, used
chiefly for decoration and illumina
tion. Modern research work has
developed new qualities in glass,
making it'far more useful. A kind
prepared at Sheffield university has
enormous heat-resisting powers so
that water may be boiled in a heavy
glass pot over a gas burner, without
danger of breaking tho container.
In making tea, for instance, this
would be a groat convenience, as no
other kettle would have to be em
ployed.
Say It With Du. lbs
We don’t hear the cry of the
sidewalk flower vendor as much as
we did in former years. Is the
march of science responsible? Apro
pos, Punch has an amusing picture
of a poorly dressed woman stand
ing 011 tho curb with a basket of
electric light bulbs in front of her.
She is holding two of the bulbs out
to a stylish girl passing by. “Ultra
