An Ancient Ohio Remedy Which Cures
Strains and Sprains.
A correspondent recently inquired as
to where she could get "angleworm
OIL" and the editor of this department
had to pass on the inquiry as a conun-
drum that he could not solve. How
ever, there are very few questions that
some of the numerous readers Of this
department cannot answer. II Is,
therefore, not surprising to find that
no less than seven answers have al
ready been received to this CORE
spondent's question. F. s. sends the
following from Santa Monica:
81 noticed in the Care OF the Body
department to-day that some one from
Santa Monica asks about angleworm
oil, and that you say that you do not
know what 1t Is. ! will offer a short
incident which happened In my boy
hood days In Ohio. My folks owned a
valuable horse, which slipped on the
ice and strained the tendons OF one
OF its hind legs 81 that 1t could not
put the heel on the ground and had to
walk on the toe s'or several months.
when an old farmer told US to rub 1t
with angleworms, putting them In bot.
ties and hanging in the sun until the
oil was tried out Of them; then strain
1t and use as q linement. We did this.
and 1t effected the desired result. and
/ will cay that after that we were new
err without this oil, as II is good for
so many strains and sprains, and II
no doubt will help the inquirer from
Santa Monica-"-Los Angeles Times.

How the United States Looks After

pared with the daily bill OF fare OF the
worhingman on shore. the odds are
greatly in favor Of the sailor. Should
he be inclined to grumble at his daily

tite, for what laboring man enjoys
better and more wholesome food2 His
food must be we'll cooked, for no bad
cooks are allowed in the navy. Where
a cook Is incompetent he is reported.

quite stir over the country. The

prevail that the negro as suffragist is
a failure. The people of the south are
vehement in their demands that he be
eliminated from politics, and this course
finds more or less support in the north

Roots speech may be the forerunner Of
