"Much is said OF the cruelt.es that

should be understood that the eastern
peoples have not been trained in the
amenities OF modern warfare. The
Bulgarians, described In general terms,
are Greek Christians. They are not

IN one God and regard Christ as a di.

Of mutual hardships experienced In
their daily lives and In their religious

The Thumb.

Thumbs have been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancients
used to call the thumb the other hand.
Barbarous kings used TO swear and
make compacts by their thumbs. In
Rome It was sign Of favor to wiring
and kiss the thumb and Of disfavor
or disgrace to lift 1t up or turn it out
ward. A man who was hurt in his
thumbs was excused from serving In
the Roman wars. Some Of the scoun-
drelly citizens used to cut on their
thumbs so as to remain at home and
get rich. Teachers used to punish their
pupils by biting their thumbs.

People with weak digestions viii al
ways be found to be fond Of condi-
ments. as the tendency Of these things
is to stimulate the glands OF the stom-
ach and cause them to produce larger
supply Of digestive juices. Pepper,
mustard and other like spices stir up
the liver and are useful to people who
from necessity or other causes lead
sedentary lives. Vinegar dissolves the
>cellulose in raw vegetables. and that is
why it tastes so well with cabbages
and salads. for there is no better judge
than the palate Of what Is good for the
stomach. The oil is added because 1t
protects the stomach from the biting

Position OF Wood ana It's Durability.

Position OF Wood and It's Durability.
The problem has troubled many why
two pieces Of wood sawed from the
samo section Of tree should possess
very varied characteristics when used
IN different positions For example,
gate post viii be found to decay much
faster II the butt end Of the tree is
rppermost than would be the cnse II
the top wero placed in this position.
The reason IS that the moisture OF the
atmosphere viii perneate the pores Of
the wood much moro rapidly the way
the tree grew than It would If in the
opposite direction.
Microscopical examination proves that
the pores invite the ascent OF moisture.
while they repel its descent Take the
familiar case OF wooden bucket.
Many may have noticed that some OF
the slaves appear TO be entirely sat
urated. while others are apparently
quite dry. This arises from the same
cause.-the dry slaves are in the posi-
ton in which the tree grew, while the
saturated ones are reversed.

bladder trouble for 20 years, was treated
for 1t by leading physicians here; went
to a specialist in Philadelphia, who
charged me 500; used nnumerable rem
edles but all the treatment L ever took
never brought me permanent results. I
noticed Doan's Kidney Pills advertised
as a remedy to cure kidney complaints
and nothing else, so I obtained a box at
Danforth's pharmacy. some 9 mon this ago.
After taking the first box l procured a
second and conscientiously say that
Doan's Kidney Pills did more for me
than all the doctors prescriptions and
all medicine 1 heretofore used. Since
first learned of their value I have recon-
mended them to number Of people. 1
don't wish it understood that am thor

had slight attacks Of the trouble since I
