Says Coffee Fruit Is
Similar to a Cherry
“It Is doubtful if In all nature there
Is a more cunningly devised food
package than the fruit of the coffee
tree,” says William H. Ukers In “All
About Coffee” (the Tea and Coffee
Journal company, New York). He
describes it minutely as follows:
“The coffee fruit Is very like a
cherry, though somewhat elongated
and having in Its upper end a small
umbilicus. Rut mark with what in¬
genuity the package has been con¬
structed. The outer wrapping Is a
thin, gossamerlike skin which incloses
n soft pulp, sweetish to the taste, but
of mucilaginous consistency. This
pulp in turn is wrapped about the
inner seal, called the parchment be¬
cause of Its tough texture.
The parchment incloses the magic
bean In its lust wrapping, a delicate
silver-colored skin, not unlike fine¬
spun silk or the sheerest of tissue
paper. And this last wrapping is so
tenacious, so true to its guardianship
function, that no amount of rough
treatment .can dislodge it altogether;
for parts of It cling to the bean even
In the roasting and grinding pro¬
cesses.”
First Europeans in Panama
The first Europeans to visit the
Isthmus of Panama were those who,
under the leadership of Rodrigo de
Rastides, sailed from Cadiz in October,
3500. Vasco Nunez de Balboa was
among them. The records of this ex¬
pedition are meager, but It is known
that they picked up .the mainland of
South America near Trinidad and
coasted westward past the Gulf of Da¬
rien and along the Isthmus as far as
Nombre de Dios.

Medicinal Vegetables
Curative qualities are possessed by
most vegetables and fruits. Spinach
has a direct effect upon the kidneys,
while onions, garlic, leeks, and shal¬
lots contain medicinal quulltles
which have a marked effect upon the
circulatory system. A raw onion eat¬
en before going to bed is an excellent
remedy for insomnia, while soup made
from onions has a soothing and restor¬
ative effect upon weak digestive or¬
gans.
• Lettuce and cucumbers cool the sys¬
tem; beets and turnips are excellent
appetizers, and celery has such an ad¬
mirable effect upon the nervous sys¬
tem that it has been known to cure
neuralgia and is of great use In rheu¬
matic cases. Tomatoes are good for
tife liver. Figs, currants, cherries, and
strawberries are cooling and purifying.
Eaten first thing In the morning, It
is claimed an orange will cure dys¬
pepsia sooner than anything else.
Forms of Government
"A republic Is different from an au¬
tocracy.”
“Undoubtedly,” answered Senator
Sorghum. “In a republic as far as
you can go is to order a man to resign
at sunset or take the consequences.
In an autocracy you can have him
shot at sunrise.”—Washington Star
The Tragic End
Theater Manager—You do not seem
to have enjoyed the show this evening.
Movie Fan—I did not. Let me ask
you, Is there any reason why the play
should not end happily, instead of the
hero and heroine always marrying at
the last moment?
No Danger
Coal Merchant—Quick! Quick 1 My
coal-yard’s afire!
Fireman—Oh, Is it? Well, if the
stuff be the same as you sold me
t’other day, there ain’t no ’urry!”—■

BACK GIVEN OUT?
Theu I'd low the Advice of This
Pelham Resident.
Are you dragging along day after
day with a dull, nagging backache?
Do you feel tired ,iame and achy,
suffer sharp, torturing pains at every
sudden move? Then look to your kid¬
neys weaken ! Colds, strains and overwork
the kidneys and bring oe
throbbing backache and knife-like
twinges. Don’t risk serious kidney
disease! Use Doan’s Pills-—a stimu¬
lant diuretic to the kidneys. Read
what this Pelham resident says:
L. L. Musgrove, painter, says: “]
could hardly climb a ladder on account
of the severe jpains in my b^ck. The
kidney secretions passed often and
dizzy spells came over me. Doan’*
Pills cured me.”

Values
Our social order Is safe Just in so
far as we can translate its values Into
terms of human life. The ultimate
values are human values always; the
sanctions of property Itself are sec¬
ondary; our last claim to our pos¬
sessions is that we hold them for the
common good.—Basil de Selincourt.
Olla Podrida
Olla podrida is one of the national
dishes of Spain. It is a rich stew
made of meat, sausages, chicken and
peas. Because of the varied charac¬
ter of the mixture, Its name is often
used to describe any jumble of words
or ideas.

world, many Japanese men and women
commit suicide In the hope of a happy
married life in the world to come.
