CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Carry a Potato, and IL One Is No Good
Try Two.
London Leader.

hOAdOh 1CddCA
The carrying of a raw potato in the
new suggestion, but it is not often that one
can find a living individual who attributes
his cure to so simple a remedy.
Such is Mr.. Jamrach, the w~ell-known
naturalist, writes a correspondent. Mr..
Jamrach has on his mantelpiece an old
potato, hard as a bone, pear-shaped and
fiattened.
"T was down at Margate years ago. he
says, seeing Sanger-John Sanger, Lord
Georges brother-and / was suffering from
is what you ought to do and he pulled a
potato out of his pocket. l thought it worth
trying, for the experience in such matters
of the Sangers, who are out in all weathers,
and exposed to the very conditions mat
bring on rheumatism, is not to be despised.
II certainly cured me. Others, too, that
have taken to IL at my advice say the same.
81 remember being at Antwerp at a sale
OF an~imals-surplus animals of the Zoologi-
and myself were talking at the hotel, and
he was complaining Of rheumatism, just as
the waiter came up, as foreign walters
often do, to make themselves agreeable ac-
cording to their ideas by taking an interest
in your conversation. This I said, pulling
my potato out of my pocket, is what 1
carry as a preventive of rheumatism And
this is what / carry said he, pulling out a
lump of sulphur. And this is what /
carry said the waiter, pulling out a cham
payne cork! And yet you both suffer from
rheumatism L said; your s%ulphur's no
good and your corks no good. Try my
potato The director tried the potato, and
the next time / heard from him he wrote
as a postscript. Your potato is no good
When / wrote back / added as a postscript,
came the message: Your two potatoes are
good"

1T is the hardest thing in the world,
said the art director OF a w~ell-known maya
zine the other day. Ito get apt ILLUSTRATIONS
for stories. The men who know how 10
illustrate. who are at the top of the hean
and whose work naturally commends itself
for its unquestioned value, seldom dfsplav
ordinary horse sense. IL is too much troubIe
for them to read the story TO find out what
IL is about. and so they content themselves
with selecting as many passages as there
are Illustrations required, and drawing
their pictures with absolute disregard for
the rest OF the text. / don't wonder the
authors kick. Some OF the big fellows have
reached the point where they positively
refuse 10 allow any Illustrations in their
books on the ground that the pictures are
generally absurd. A case OF this Kind oc-
Cured In one of the best-selling books
last year. The action OF the story was
laid fifty years ago. and yet all the illus
%trations were rtdiculously up 10 date. One.

art director picked up a copy OF an August
magazine. Here is = picture OF a girl
who has hooked a trout. The line is taut
and the rod Is bending under the strain.
Now see now the girl Is holding the rod.

SEVEN MILLION CENTS
sent Out on CeaseIess Journey from
Philadelphia Mint Every Month.
Philadelphia Press

NOe
If you should happen to be talking with
an employee of the United States mint of
the Treasury Department, do not use the
word penny. There are no pennies In the
mint, nor have there ever been, although
a great many persons are under the i'm
preston that anywhere from 10000 to T.
100000 a month of these useful little coins
are shipped from this city to the Treasury
Department at Washington and the various
subtreasuries.
But these are cents, rot pennies; and IL
you persist in calling them pennies while
you are talking with one of the clerks in
the mint, you are corrected at every step
of the conversation. Pennies, they tell you,
have not been used in this country since the
colonial days, when the United States mint
was not In business. To call cents pennies
is regarded as rank Anglophobiaism. In
technical terms, for use on the books of the
mint and for correspondence with Washing
ton, pennies are called "one-cent bronze
pieces" In ordinary conversation they are
called cents. But pennies, never.
There Is a reason, also, for the term
bronze pieces" OF the 1.230, 075, ST. pennies
that have been coined for the government
at the Philadelphia mint 1,737,s1 were the
big copper pennies many persons remem-
Der in the days of their boyhood. None
have been coined since 1856. but there are
still 1,1S3.537 of them floating around the
country somewhere. Not one dozen Of them
a month find their way back TO the mint
for recoinage. Where they have gone to is
a mystery, as is the ultimate destination
of the millions of bronze cents that are
scattered broadcast from the mint every

To prepare the skin for cold or hot

vented an antiseptic toilet water at SIS the

a "~beautyline cream" at las. and beauty

doctor charges the most obstinate wrinkles

AT a1o A MONTH.
At a guinea a bottle there is a powder for
removing superfluous hair, and for another
guinea Hungarian water with all sorts
of qualities, the receipt for which has been
betrayed by the descendants of a no less
parsonage hat Queen Marie Therese. For
the lips there are salves at SIS the box. and
one could never enumerate the long and ex-
pensive list of other accessories for beauty.
To restore youthful beauty to the face
this beauty doctor puts the patient through
a series of treatment-ten successive
treatments to with-each last
ing an hour and a half, and each costing
Ell SIS at the establishment and 92 at the
clients house, in addition to the price OF
the lotions and preparations used. The
operation includes a plaster mask, massage
and endless other treatment. When the
series of ten is finished then the client
may preserve her fresh new face for a year
if she continues occasional treatments un-
der the specialists care with the aid OF
her preparations, all at the cost of a little
sum, something like 9O a month, and
this is a modest figure. When there is
hand massage and a great deal of per-
fumery the sum doubles, but a woman can

actual figures. and their computation read

eliminating such large fortunes in Paris.
