WITCH HAZEL OIL
Changing Diseases.

In that delightful book, "Rider
Grange" the husband of Pomona
gives as his reasons for not remov-
ing from a malarial neighborhood,
that it don't do for man at his
time of life to go about changing
his diseases and adding, that there
are diseases incident to almost
every locality, and he likes dis
ease he is used to.
Now, in case of malarial dis
eases, aside from the unwilling
ness of patients to "change dis
cases." it is generally not conven-
lent to change their residence. Ii
this were done in every case, some
of our most thriving communities
would be depopulated.
Nothing is left to do therefore
but to fortify oneself against mala-
rial influences. For this purpose
Drs, Starkey & Palen's Compound
Oxygen has proved itself in the
past 20 years the most efficient
thing in the world.
Any person desiring to change
diseases for health should write us
plain statement of the case, when
if possible, the way will be point
ed out. The consultation is with
out charge. Address Drs. Stark
ey G Palen, 1929 Arch Street,

Whence Comes Croft9

The origin of 'croft" itself, even more
than of its sister words, Is "wrop n
mystery. 1t is very old Englist
term, appearing in the charters or title
deeds Of estates as long ago as the reign
Of Edgar, where the phrase sat the
oroft's head" is quoted by DR.. Murray,
but IL remained long unreoognized in
the literary language The old English
form. like the modern one. is Croft, u
meaning an inclosed field. In lowland
Scotch It appears generally in the form

many derivatives, but the only other

which means "a piece Of high and dry

headland. In the north Of England.
according to Ray, the word Croft" I'm

the south 1t is applied to any small in
CLOSURE near building OR otherwise
DR.. Murray's English dictionary gives
several uses Of croft In early times,
though not for the most part in what
can fairly be called literature "As be
stood In his croft, says a lasM writer
Of the thirteenth century. whose spell-
Ing and grammar I mercifully modern

Ftzherbert defines curtylAge (what-
ever that may be) as "a lytsIl croft or

the seventeenth century the phrase &C.

Wood Pavements.

The authorities Of Berlin, says writ
or in Hardwood, have concluded. after
a period Of Investigations and tests COW
ering period of 10 years or more, 10
maintain the wood pavement where
there are horse car lines and have al
ready paved with wood some 81 900
square meters, using for the purpose
near ly $500, 900 blocks, or 81 blocks to
the square meter. The tests comprised
az streets, squares and bridges, and OF
the woods used $4,000 square meters
we're paved with German pine, Is, 900
with Swedish pine and about the same
quantity with beach, 10, 900 with Amer
lean yellow pine and a smaller surface
with American cypress. The wood pave
ment, 1t is also stated, has proved su-
perior to asphalt in Paris, except for
the boulevards and pleasure drives, and,
as in Berlin, is preferred on streets sub
ject to great wagon traffic. The greater
part of the wood used for paving by the
Partisan authorities is spruce from the
department of Landes, some foreign
woods being also used, among which is
one from Anam called ciem, so heavy as
to weigh / 200 Kilograms per cubic me-
ter, or about double the weight of red
gum. The Australian jarrah has also
been tried, and species of rubber tree,
the wood of which weighs about 100
kilograms per cubic meter, and kard
has also been added to the list, and
species of wood from Java.
