GARDEN SASS AS MEDICINE.

Vegetables Which Are Remedies for
Ailments.
Few people know the medicinal value of
vegetables. Yet scientists who have stud
led this subject have proved that man
might find remedy in garden sass" for
nearly every ordinary ILL.,
Asparagus, for instance, is a diuretic,
and forms part of the cure for rheumatic
patients at such health resorts as Aix-les-
Balns. Sorrel is cooling to the mind as
well as the blood, and forms the staple of
that soup aux herDes" which q French
lady will order for herself after a long and
firing journey.
Carrots, as they contain a quantity of
sugar, are fattening, and. are avoided by
some people as ind}gestible. 1t is the yell
low core OF the carrot. however, that is in
digestible, for the outer red layer is tender
enough. In many parts of Europe the
peasants have recourse to an infusion of
carrotsea as specific for jaundice. The
large sweet onion is very rich in those
alkaline elements which counterfeit the
poison OF rheumatic govt. If slowly
stewed in weak broth and eaten
is said to be an admirable article
of diet for people of studious or sedentary
habits. The stalks of caulihower have a
similar value, only too often they are so
ill boiled and unpalatable that they are
not inviting. But when well cooked and
served with the proper dressing there is
nothing more enticing.
Cooks have likewise done much to rem
der turnips unpopular, for many people
believe them only fit for cows and sheep.
Yet when properly cooked and served they
make most palatable dish and have some
medicinal value as a mild diuretic. Let

Springfield, Ohio, think. The men, or
a great portion of them, had gone out, and
an effort was made to get the others to
strike. Van Wrinkle arrived and found the
town placarded with notices that there
was to be mass-meeting of railroad men
at certain hall to take some action on
the strike. He said that he would attend
the meeting. The men were inclined to
be turbulent, and an attempt was made to
persuade him not to CO. But at the hour
set he presented himself at the door of
the hall and was stopped by the sentry,
who informed him that he could not
come IN.

few minutes returned and invited Van
Wrinkle into the hall. As soon as he was
past the door yell that shook the build

for speech. He got on the platform
and talked to lot of men he used to
do yard work with, pointed out to them
the mistake they were making. and
assured them that he would see that any
just grievance they had would be righted
at once. When he had finished he was
asked to retire. and as he left the room
more than half the men walked out
with him, remarking: What Van says is
good enough for u.s. In an hours time thu

The Tramp Rvii Again.

This community is again over-run with
tramps and the false sympathy for the
tramping fraternity Is still asserting
itself. 1t has its source In the fact that
occasional worthy workmen fall to tramp.
ing in the search for work. That 1t Is
false and hurtful sympathy, is not difficult
to demonstrate. 1t matters not how
worthy a workman may be, he rarely bet.
ters his condition by tramping about
the country. Emplo, ers of labor
Invariably prefer men who have
a ''local habitation and q name,'
for any work above the lowest
grade, and a man who Is unfortunate will
get more sympathy and more assistance 10
finding employ ment at home than abroad
But once let the worthy and ordinarily
honest workman get to wandering over
the face OF the earth seeking employment
meeting hardships and rebuRs, as he 1.
sure to do. At first. he will become humil.
lated, then embittered toward society, and
finally. having lost his self-respect and
forgotten his home ties, he will become
reckless, worthless and most likely dis
honest.
