Rupture Cured
LOS ANGELES. Cal. Jan. 2s.

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Jan. 49, 1897
Prof. Joseph Fandrey. S21 South Broadway,
Los Angeles, CAL:
Dear Sir-I wish to write and thank you
for your wonderful cure of my case of
rupture which you have been treating.
Since you pronounced me cured on jan
uary 1st and discarded my truss. I must
say that / do feel that l am absolutely
cured, for since have been going without
a truss 1 feel as we'll as over did in my
life and have no signs of any weakness.
/ think your cure all the more remarka-
Bile. for when I ruptured myself two of the
best physicians said would never get over
it without an operation. That was over
four years ago, and today am well man,
and wish to say to those whom 1t may con-
cern. that when I was tempted as last
resort to try your truss ! found 1t per-
lection okcomfort.
/ have tried great many kinds of store
trusses and have found them all more or
less Instruments Of torture, so that l felt
that In your truss I really found a bless
ing.
I earnestly request that all who wish will
call on me and / shall be only too glad
to explain the advantages of your truss
and treatment. So again let me thank you
for your cure; also for your kind care
while taking your treatment.
Yours respectfully,

A Little Learning 1nconvenient

The day was warm. The regular sup
ply of ice gave out. We sent the little
colored boy, who had had advantages
under the Peabody fund, to the factory
for new supply. He came back and re-
ported there was no ice.

cry broken?"
Dunno. De ingine was gwine all

We sent him back in hurry and told
him not to use his learning so much and
his tongue more; to forget he knew how
to read and to ask for what he wanted.

growth is occasionally to be found on the
ton of Mount Washington. but no one
has ever before been able to secure one
of these tiny trees in absolutely perfect
condition. The specimens which Cor
nell has were found on the Greenland
coast, some at Godhaven on the Isle of
Disko. Others were discovered at Will
cox head, where the exploring party that
secured specimens did most of its work.
A curious difference between thie Lili
putian birch and the ordinary forest tree
of the same species is that the Arctic
specimen bears fruit. The trees on the
Island of Disko were covered with fruit
when the explorers found them. What
is more, this fruit is decidedly edible.
It has taste not unlike the juniper ber-
ry and is said to be exceedingly health
giving.
Ever so many persons have read of this
little birch tree under the scientific name
Of Betula Mana, without having any
idea of what the name really sgnified.
Translated it means white birch, AMI
thoeeIVho have read of the struggles of
DR.. Elisha Kent Kane and his compan-
ions in the Arctic regions half a century
ago will remember what an important
part the Betula Mana took in sustaining
the life of the members of the expedition.
The berries which grow upon the birch
seem to have all the concomtants of
food and drink, and upon them person
may exist for long time without mate
rally losing strength.
The second notable specimen is known
as the crowberry, or, as the scientists
term it, the Emporium Nigrum. While
this tree is In measure cosmopolitan
plant, although classed as an Arctic
growth, the same difficulty has been ex-
perienced in securing perfect specimens
as in the case of the birch. The crow
berry grows in this country, on Mount
Desert in Maine, and is occasionally
found a the higheet points of the Sierra
Nevada range of mountains. Like the
birch, it bears an edible berry, and it is
no exaggeration to state that it is one
of the principal sources of succulent food
in the region where it grows
Several years ago an exploring expe-
dition to the Arctic regions very thor
oughly investigated the crowberry for
the purpose of discovering what differ
ence there was, If any, between the Arc
tic growth and the same tiny tree grow
ing on Mount Desert. The result was a
curious illustra ton of the novel effect of
climatic conditions upon natural growth
The berry of the crowberry as it grow 5
on Mount Desert has a marked acidity
which, far from rendering it unpalata-
ble makes it more agreeable as an arti-
Gle of food. The crowberry in the Arctic
zone has decidedly sweetish taste, and

determined by analysis and the most
careful reasoning and investigation ar
rived at no other result than that ell
matte conditions were the cause of the
difference mentioned.
These odd specimens of Arctic growth
are all the more notable because of the
fact that of the several hundred species
of plants which grow in the Arctic re-
gions the great majority are herbs. Few
of these, however, are ANIMALS. The con-
ditions existing in the Arctic zone seem
to favor the herbaceous plant above all
things. The subterranean stems of these
seem to be the most efficient vehicle to
carry the lives of the plants over the
long. severe winter. In fact, no woody
plants, with the exception Of those men,

tic regions deserve to be called trees or
even shrubs in the ordinary sense of the
term. Their stems are PROSTATE, send

party was the Arctic willow There is

is known as the bear" willow. 1t and
the herbaceous willow grow within the
limits of the United States upon the tops
of the highest mountains, notably Mount
Washington. The reticulated willow is
a very beautiful plant, the rarest of them
all. The Cornell party discovered
specimen on the Labrador coast. They
had great difficulty in securing perfect
willow of this sort, and the specimen
that now rests in Cornell museum is be-
lieved to be the only one in existence
away from its native climate.

of the numerous resolutions adopted by
various religious bodies. condemning his
course in signing the application for IL
cense of the Princeton Inn. DR.. K. NJ.
Patterson, who is IL strict prohibitionist,
pleaded for justice to DR.. Shields, on the
ground that he was answcrabe to his
own presbytery and that no other ecclesi-
astical body should condemn him I'M
heard. This is sound Presbyterian law,
whatever one may think--of DR.. Shields
conduct. 1t is n cheap method of dis
playing our own orthodoxy or morality
TO denounce violently through the press.
or by resolution of presbytery. some one
who is net under our jurisdiction and
who cannot have an opportunity CT de-
Tending himself against such charges.
Just suppose, by way of learning to be
charitable if not Just in our eX pressons,
that 1t should be rumored that some dis
tinguished Presbyterian minister had at.
tended n wedding supper, and finding
that the wine WAS lacking had provided
large quantity of superior quality.
How some people would throw PUP their
hands in holy horror and call for his
ecclesiastical decapitatIon!XYe this was
done nineteen centuries ago, not bv a
minister, but by the Lord Jesus himself,
ana we know from his own lips that he
was sneered ut as q wine bibbler.
1t is true that under the changes of So
cial life and its temptations it might be
wrong for one to do now what was per-
missabe long ago. We do not believe
that placing wine before guests is safe,
since so many are thereby tempted to
fall; but we dare not take up any position
which would involve the condemnation
of our Lords gracious act-Southern

THANKSGIVING DAY.

IL Is but little to ask Of this busy
world that one day of the whole year
should be set apart for thanks to AL.
mighty God for the blessings which he
has bestowed upon the people of this free
country. There should he no nan or
woman so circumstanced to-day who
could not with Blended knee proclaim,
their thanks to the Giver of all Good 1t
is beautiful custom handed down by
our forefathers, but perhaps not SO relig
icusly observed in this day as in the years
of an earlier period. 1t is an unfortu-
nate fact, bnt true one, that the people
OF this age are so pgrossed in the struC,
gle for livelihood that they neither have
the time, nor possibly the inclination,
to spend an hour. in silent communion
with their Maker. Some men hold that
they have very little to be thankful for in
the present condition of affairs which
confronts the battle line Of life. But
these very men forget that they have
freedom in all that is dear 10 the civilized
men. Every man in this land of ours is
sovereign, or rather he should he, and he
is, unless ground dow n by mercile.s mo-
nopolistic trusts of one kind or another.
But no man exists, rightly constituted,
who cannot rise superior to his environ.
ment. The ills we seem to have are
largely of our own making. The nun
who has not sorie one thing to lie thank.
ful for to-day is indeed a poor mortal, and
for that one thing, no matter how small,
he should give thanks to Il melcifui Fa-
tier We can look around us aud see
many people who are not blessed as we
are. 10 these people, on this day, if Oil
no other, we should extend synpa-
thetic and helpful hand. We should try
TO make the day sweet benedic.ion to
those less fortunate than ourselves. Peo-
pie nowadays are entirely too prone to
set aside as unmanlythe noble sentiments
which actuate the Christian life. Selfish
ness apparently reigns supreme, with
personal. ambition n very CLOSE running
mate in the race for supremacy; but on
such day as this humbleness of spirit
and voluntary thanksgiving should fill
the heart CT all mankind.

:. THE RIGHTS OF LABOR.

At the recent annual meeting of the
brotherhood Of St. Andrew, Rev. W. r.
Stirling, of Grace Church, of that city,
discussing the subject of employees, Said:
Ia labor commodity to be dealt in like
coal and wheat? Granted the legal right
to buy labor in the cheapest and sell it in
the dearest markt,, what are the moral
rights of the two parties to the contract
Labor to the indirect employer, the stock
holder, is impersonal. lie knows not and
usually cares not how labor is paid,
housed or cared for. He has not been
educated to appreciate that common
labor" or 'hands'' are human beings
with souls, made of much the same clay
as the stot kholder, with moral rights
above the brute animal or the pound of
goods. Nevertheless more intelligent ser.
vice is expected from this living commodi-
ty than FROM any other that is bought and
sold at competitive market rates Labor
to the direct employees president and
dlrectors-represents an unavoidable ele-
ment of expense to be kept at IL mini
mum, both in number aud cost, so as to
cause the least trouble and expense. La
Dor to the bosses means living ma.
chimes that require no fuel to supply
the power, no mechanics to repair, no
or worn out to be discarded without
thought and replaced by newer living
machines without any additional ax-
pense; machines from which the maxi
mum of service Is to he obtained ut the
minimum Of cost, so that the returns to
capital may be as large as possible. What
is known as fatigue of metal Is some
times more readily taken int account
than is the fatigue of living machines
While many employers OF labor feel 81
deep concern for the welfere of those in
their employ, it cannot be denied that as
a.class employers of labor give but little
thought to the moral rights of the la
borer. Without labor the world would
stagDate and men decay The laboring
man, in whatever pursuit, so long as his
aims are honorable and his conduct up
right, stands as the embodiment of the
nsblest work of God. The Giving ma
chine is the hope of tue world; from
him springs all the wealth and comforts
we enjoy and to him we look for aid
when danger threatens the nation.

The City Council is to be commended
for its action in the final disposition of
the question of lights. There was no
earthly reason for giving IL moments at
tention to the scheme for allowing
another company foothold in Roanoke
The company at present operating here
has always shown II disposition to be fair
in its dealings with the public and there
would have been no Justice in pushing
to the wall home concern to give the
right of way to foreign corporation.
The Roanoke Electric Light and Power
Company submitted a proposition which
is fair in every particular and this propo-
sition was incorporated into the ordi-
nance passed by Council, and which will
become a contract as soon as accepted by
the company. The provision giving the
city the light to purchase the )lant at
the expiration of the three years CON
tract is, of course, one for future consid-
Grafton. Municipal ownership of such
enterprises has proven successful in many
other cities. Why not in Roa oke? That
the loLg- pending question of lighting the
city has been settled satisfactorily we
have no doubt. Now, let the lights burn
all night. The penalty for non. compli-
ance with this provision of the contract
should be strictly enforced.
