It is a great mistake to peel po

skin, like all medicinal roots, is
the richest part of the tuber. Po

! are held in solution by the pellicle
iof the skin. If it is desired to re
i move the skin it should be done by
rubbing*with a rough cloth, which
preserves the true skin.

Leuenboek says that 4,000,000

they first begin to use the spume-i

A horse that can pace a mile in

A I’KOHI BITIONISIS FISH STORY
This is fish Story’, says the
Philadelphia Record, told by pro
hibitionist of good repute among
his neighbors in Wissahickon: “1
took my light tackle and went up
to the Wissahickon,” says the story
teller, “to try my luck with the
catfish on Friday last. I found a
shady nook, sat down and cast my
line.
Bites were few and far between
and after a time I reeled in my
line and sat idly watching the
stream.
An old speckled hen on the oth
er side of the creek was leisurely’
pattering about the waters in
search of a meal.
Suddenly 1 noticed a slight dis
turbance in the water below the
hen. The head of a large snapping
turtle appeared above the surface
for an instant and then disapared.
1 grow interested. All at once there
was a splash a Hutter of wingsand
a series of loud cackles. The snap
per had a hen’s leg in its strong
beak.
The hen with her remaining leg
clutched the root of a tree over
hanging the water.
Then came a tug of war. The hen
was almost, torn in two before she
let go of the root. The snapper
went down .and a moment later the
hen disappeared beneath the sur
face .
Forest fires in the vast timber
land regions of the great lakes ha\ e
come to be as much expected a<-
ths cyclones which sweep over the
prarii-s of (he Western Stales. Re
ports of disastrous conflagrations
have grown by their familiarity
almost commonplace. The deso
lation and suffering which these
sudden wild sweeps of flame leave
in their scarred and b eckoned
wake can be vividly appreciate!,
however, by picturing in one’s
mind a score of towns in ashes
and the bom dess villagers wan
dering without bread or shelter
over the schorched plains. Mil
lions of dollars worth of personal
property has been wiped away in
the recent fires, but more pitiable
still is the fact that hundreds of
lives have been lost.
Miss Josephine Jarvis, 11 years

which she killed fourteen grouse
in one day.—Oregonian.
