Newspaper Page TextUse of Cardui Helped to Relieve Suffering. "I have taken Cardul and have found it a very helpful medicine,” says Mrs. Minnie Itoclier, of Lynn Haven, Fla. “After a course of Cardul, I felt like I had been made over. “For a while I suffered with bad pains in my hack and sides. At times, those would distress me so I would seem past going’. “We had known of Car- dul }n oia’ family for a long ; time, so I thought I would try .taking it. I soon began to improve. I grew strong and well, and was able to resume my house hold duties without the least inconvenience.” Cardui is a mild, harm less extract of valuable medicinal herbs. Try it. Gil Rill!!

Toledo, Ohio.—The four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Kolinski celebrated their birthday recently. Yet they ure not quadruplets. Edward, the eldest, was nineteen; Alhin became seventeen, Clnreuce llf- teen and Stanley, Jr., thirteen. It Is easy to remember a birthday date In the family. Bat the amazing coincidence lias its drawbacks. The number ^of .candles needed for the in- ,evitable cukes increased by four every year and the cost, of 04 candles, such its graced the last party, is not to he dickered at. Then (here Is the problem of the cakes themselves. It was a simple matter back in 1000, when Edward ap peared. Even in 1912, when Edward was three and Albin oue, there wasn't much to it. Mrs. Kolinski had only two cakes to bake. Things began to happen Jn earnest two years later when Clarence was born. The cake-baking question was as suming proportions. It was becoming so large, in fact, that the Kolinski home resembled n baker’s establish ment. And then same the climax. Two years after Clarence's birth came Stanley, Jr., thus presenting the four-cake problem, which, together with Mrs. Kolinski’s other duties, somewhat complicated matters. There were four white, triple layer cakes, debeckcd with pink candles, on the dinner stable at the last party, how ever, and hereafter Mrs. Kolinski will make four cakes—one for each of the hoys—because some day they will drift apart and her baking probably will not be required. |V , PRESSING CLUB.

Largest Buddha Statue Nearing Completion Beppu, Japan.—Claimed by the Jap anese to be the world’s largest statue of Buddha, a “Dalbutsu,” or “Great Buddha,” Is nearing completion here and dedication ceremonies are expect ed to be liehl in the near future. The imago is SO feet in height, 20 feet higher than the famous Dalbutsu at Mara. It has been built at a cost Jof $50,000, the gift of Eisaburc Oka- moto, a wealthy citizen of Beppu. The Buddha will lie dedicated to (lie spirits of about a million Japanese who have died without relatives to perform the prescribed funeral cere monies for them, also to the spirits of n large number of suicides. Tho bones of many of those who are to he honored have aiready been placed In side ike image. zinc-. Leprosy Drug Now in Painless Doses Cnrville, La.—A now combination of clmulmoogra oil with benzocaine has enabled several lepers at the national leprosarium here to receive the bene fits of the curative drug with a mini mum of pain. The discomfort which accompanies the administration of clmulmoogra oil is a problem with which specialists in leprosy have struggled for years. Con sequently the success which has at tended the use of benzocnine-chnul- ntoogra oil by Dr. Frederick A. Jo hansen of the United States public healtli service on 24 lepers at the lep rosarium may mark an Important step forward In the treatment of this an- .cicnt disease. “This preparation has the advan tage of not causing pain, and of ab sorbing readily," Doctor Johansen stated, “thereby giving the patient a uniform amount of clmulmoogra oil over a definite period of time. Since the treatment was started 30 patients have been added, making a total of GO who are taking the injections semi- weekly as routine treatment. “in reporting these cases,” added the surgeon, “no claim is made that the injection of chaulmoogra oil with benzocaine will cure leprosy. It is foM that 1 he method suggested is worthy of further ttse and such trial as may seem appropriate.*’ Rattlesnake Hunters Develop New Trade San Angelo, Texas.—Dame Fashion lias interfered with a pastime of workers in the oil Gelds of west Texas. Men who work about the derricks once delighted In tossing sticks of dynamite or small cans of nitro glycerin into dens of rattlesnakes. But fashion decreed snakeskin shoes and gave the reptiles a commercial value. So tho workmen, who have been none too prosperous because of the slump in the oil industry, now drag snakes from the dens with hooked polos and collect tlie skins, which are dried in the sun mid shipped to shoe manufacturing centers, where they bring prices which nicely augment the wages of the laborers. Several hundred rattlesnakes have been found in a single den. Supreme Salesmanship The traveler In educational books approached a business man. “So you want to sell me some books, do you?” “Yes," said the book traveler. “Well,” said the man of business, “1 have no words in which to express my contempt for a man wlto has noth ing better to do than travel in books.” "Then,” replied the traveler, "al low me to sell you one of our dic tionaries. It contains 50,000 words In which you can express your con tempt.’’—“Regina Leader, Llade a Cad Trade The pod llcinie's sense ol hninur u;i;:;t Love been a great boon to him through all his disappointments and it!

' r ' ’ Humble Seaweed Put Rings of Many Kinds Figure at Weddings A wedding ring Is pot always a finger ring. There was onco a cele brated, but hasty, roynl wedding, when n curtain ring served the pur pose. At n London church the bride groom had left the ring at home, but a resourceful bridesmaid cut off a lock of the bride's golden linir, plaited it In a ring, and the ceremony was completed. At a fashionable wedding In n Lan cashire church when the bridegroom lost llie ring a v.'ccldlng guest took (lie gold-rimmed monocle from Ills eye, broke out the glass, handed the frame to (lie bridegroom and the wedding went on.

Wonderful Machine An Instrument lias been developed that .Is so keen nnd accurate that >11 will i^pMit a bntr Into 50 .equal paits. •The machine Is known as the micro- dome and is used principally by scien tists in the preparations of specimens tfor microscopic examination. It is so accurate Hint It will cut slices one micron in thickness. A micron Is one 25-Hiousandtli of an Inch. These slices will lie absolutely accurate. In using -the mlctrotome it Is ,often necessary to freeze or otherwise solidify the material to be cut. In other cases it is necessary to keep a flow of alcohol running over the knife to prevent par ticles of material from adhering ,to the blade.

Formation of Petroleum The geological survey says Hint the organic theory of the origin of pe troleum is most generally accepted. Crude petroleum of paraffin 'base is be lieved to be formed of vegetable de bris and petroleum of asphaltic base is believed to be formed of organic matter containing a large proportion of unintal matter. Substantially the same products are obtained from pe troleum of either base, except asphalt, which is obtained from asphaltic pe troleum only, and pnrnlfin wax, which Is obtained from parnfflnuceous petro leum. Paraflinuceous petroleum con tains a larger proportion of kerosene, gasoline nnd other liigh-gravity prod ucts Ilian asphaltic petroleum.
