\ shaving Of wood curls up owing
TO contraction on one side and expan-
sion on the other. This expansion i
accelerated by what is known as the
"back iron" or cap iron which Is used

and to prevent the cutting iron" from
tearing or splitting the fibers of the
wood, which lie always more or less
in Il slanting direction.
The nearer the edge Of the back
iron is placed TO the edge of the cut
ting iron" the shorter the shavings are
broken of These are smooth on one
side, and the serrations on the other
correspond with the distance between
the edges of the two irons.
All wood, too, is formed in circular
rings, such as can be seen In the sec
ton OF any tree trunk. 1t follows.
therefore that when the rings OF wood
are cut across, as they are to n certain
extent in the act of planning, they are
relieved from tension, and curl mp in

Catarrh of the

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves OF the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead OF
the juices of natural digestion. This Is
called Catarrh Of the Stomach
