Economic Value of Fruit Stones

The seeds or stones of many fruits
which would apparently seem useless
have some economic value, and in this
connection we are speaking chiefly of
those which are often thrown away.
In certain parts of Egypt the date
stones are boiled to soften them, and
the camels and cattle are fed upon
them. They are calcined by the
Chinese, and enter into the composition
OF their Indian ink. In Spain they are
burnt ard powdered for dentifrice, and
vegetable ivory nuts are applied to the
same purposes. Some species of At
talea nuts are burned in Brazil to
blacken the raw caoutchouc or india
rubber The seed or stone of the tam
arind Is sometimes prescribed in India
in case of dysentery as tonic, and in
the form of an electuary. In times of
scarcity the natives eat them after be-
ing roasted and soaked for few hours
in water; the darker outer skin comes
off, and they are then boiled or fried.
An oil has been obtained from this
seed. The seed of the carob bean is
ground up as food for cattle, and is used
in Algeria, when roasted as coffee.

TESTIMONIALS.
These are few testimonials from some people who have
had occasion opportunity to know about the efficacy of DR.
Baard's treatment

two months and half ago, broken down
completely in health after four years OF
constant night work on newspaper,
had not dared to hope for SO speedy .
recovery as your treatment has given
me. Not unlike the great majority Of
people who are affected with lung dis
ease, my illness dates back to an in-
complete recovery from an attack Of 10
grippe. Slow at first, but as sure as II
was slow, my lungs began to yield to
the terrible struggle which had taken
place during that attack six years ago.
and in December, 1896, 1 broke down
completely. 1 was recommended by my
physician in Chicago to come to Los
Angeles for the benefit of your treat
ment. Now, doctor, for both yourself
and your treatment and for the benefit
of those who are suffering from lung
troubles, do not hesitate to say, taking
into consideration the great benefits
which 1 received in two months, that
when you pronounce me cured it will be
a permanent cure. Very truly yours.

Longest of Railway Bridges

Scotland can no longer claim to pos
sess the longest railroad bridge in the
world. The recently completed bridge
over the Danube at Czernavoda obtains
this distinction by nearly 5000 feet. The
length of the new structure, exclusively
of it's approaches, is 1926 feet, while it's
principal spans over the main channel of
the river are 620 feet and 455 feet re-
spectively. The remaining spans ex-
tend over some nine miles of Lying
land, which for several months of the
year is completely submerged. Com
pared with other big bridges, the Ger
navoda one is 5,525 feet longer than that
over the Tay, 1900 feet longer than the
rev Forth bridge and 2,726 feet longer
than that which spans the Mississippi.
