FOR STARTING THE FIRE.
The Use to Which the Fisherman Puts His
Discarded Sets-


In the majority Of households an old
newspaper is the material most COM
monty used 10 start fire, and the ad-
justrnent Of this material is a matter OF
considerable art. There should be enough
of it 10 make flame sufficient 70 ignite
the wood laid upon il, and it should be
put in with just the right degree OF
l0nseness so that the air will circulate
through ii and make il burn freely and
10 the best advantage But there are
houses in which paper is never used for
this purpose-the homes Of fishermen
Here, year in and year out, day after
day. the fire is started with chunk of
discarded tarred netting, and there is
nothing like IL
When "a net gets tender, so that ii Is
likely TO burst when body Of kelp or
seaweed floats against il in a tide way,
or TO break with big catch Of fish. it
is condemned 1t may be whole and
look all right, but it doesn't pay to take
any risks with it Some fishermen using
a considerable number of nets may have
half ton Of such netting In year.
They use IL 10 start fires, and give away
some of it Formerly they sold it for
junk, and they do so now occasionally.
though not so much as they did 1t
brings a cent pound
This netting has been tarred again
and again with fine. thin tar and il is
thoroughly saturated. The net may be
feet deep. A length OF it is rolled up,
and the roll is then fiattened down The
fiattened roll may be 6 inches wide, and
il Is cut off with an AK into chunks Of
perhaps foot in length, just enough TO
lie nicely on the crate Of kitchen
range. 1t is thoroughly dried before il
is used 1t all ignites quickly, and
burns fiercely and uniformly, with a
blush fame and rather a pleasant odor.
A properly laid fire with a section Of
old tarred netting to start 1t never goes
out. Whoever attends TO the kitchen
fire in the fisherman's house prepares II,
if possible, the night before and pulls
strand from the tarred netting out
through the bars Of the CRATE in front.
To start the fire in the morning all that
is necessary is 10 touch a lighted match
to the end Of that tarred rope yarn
Some Of this tarred netting has been
sold TO start the fire in locomotives.
Such thing is not unbeard OF as the
use of cotton waste and oil for this pur-
pose, but sheet of old tarred netting
laid over the CRATE bars beats the cotton
waste out Of sight Still, locomotives
have multiplied and tarred netting cuts
no figure as means Of starting the fire
in them. 1t is perhaps now used for
that purpose, if at all, only ON roads
running through or near fishing dis
tricts And, as said, it is now rarely
sold. The fisherman uses it TO start his
own fire, and the man who has more
than he wants gives to his neighbor.-

been reported with increasing frequency.
From Australia has come the most re-
markable story Of rabbits as climbers
The only way in which rabbits could be
kept out Of certain tracts Of land in
Australia was by the building of wire
fences about them, the fences having
meshes so small that the beasts could
not crawl through and being so high
that they could not jump over The rab-
bits have clawed at the wires until their
nails gradually have become hooked.
Scme Of the rabbits learned to scale the
fences, and then great additional ex-
pense was necessary, for the top Of the
fence had TO be bent over like j up

the rodents could not get over the top.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cure For Dyspepsia.

This may read as though we were
putting it a little strong because it is
generally thought by the majority of
people that dyspepsia in its chronic
form is incurabIe, or practically so. But
We have long since shown that dyspep-
STA is durable, nor is it such a difficult
matter as at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite eX-
treneS or else deluging the already
over burdened stomach with ''bitters.'
after dinner pills etc, which invart-
ably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give slight tenn
porary relief. Such treatment of the
stomach simply makes matters worse.
What the stomach wants is a rest Nov
how can the stomach become rested,
recuperated and at the same time the
body nouTished and sustained
This is the great secret and this is
also the secret Of the uniform success
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is
a comparatively new remedy, but its
success and popularity leaves no doubt
as to it's merits.
The Tablets will digest the food
anyway, regardless of condition of
stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia accord
ing to directions is to eat an abund-
ance of good, wholesome food and use
the tablets before and after each meal
and the result Will be that the food
will be digested no matter how bad
your dyspepsia may be. because as
before stated, the tablets will digest the
food even if the stomach is wholly in
active. To illustrate our meaning
plainly. if you take 1900 grains of meat.
eggs or ordinary food and place in
temperature of IS degrees, and put with
it one Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it
will digest the meat or eggs almost as
perfectly as if the meat was enclosed
within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever SO weak
yet these tablets will perform the work
of digestion and the body and brain
Will be properly nourished and at the
same time a radical, lasting cure of
dyspepsia viii be made because the
much abused stomach Will be given to
some extent. a much needed rest. Your
druggist will tell you that of the many
remedies advertised to cure dyspepsia
none of them has given so complete
and general satisfaction as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not least in inn
portance in these hard times is the fact
that they are also the cheapest and
give the most good for the least money.
