ABOUT WATERcREss.

10 IL Good Helper Of Digestion and an
Appetizer.
It Is a good helper of digestion. It is
an appetizer, and a stimulant some
what on the order Of mustard.
II Iron be deficient in the red corpus
cles Of the blood, then paleness of face
and anaemia will result To the rescue
comes the watercress, which has sucked
UP atomic articles OF iron from the
waters in which its rapid growth was
made. Only spinach, of all green
plants contains more iron suspended
in it's juices than does the useful water
cress~
The blood Is not acid, but alkaline.
When it becomes acid it is out of
health, and tries to throw out the acids
1t does not want. Then the whole won
derful fabric Of the skin suffers. Rough
ness comes upon the delicate sides Of
the sweat channels, blotchiness. spots
and small inflammations follow. The
skin, in fact. is in disorder.
Acids In the green food have the
power to counterfeit acids in the blood.
Like conscious agent the body knows
this and the appetite cries for such
green food. Watercress holds many
acids, formed by the union of it's diff
ferent salts. In tiny particles this
green food holds portions of the eight
different minerals required by the body
and these saline atoms make chemical
combinations that are most healthful.
So when watercress is eaten the skin
Is relieved from the out-throwing Of
the irritating acids that were coming
through its channels. Then blotchiness.
pimples, irritable spots all depart. One
secret Of keeping a good complexion
lies in eating tender watercress grown
in fair waters.
Many reject watercress on account
of Its harboring the eggs of nevis and
frogs in cunning hiding places in crew.
ices Of its leaves and stalks, such eggs
being so minute and so attached to the
greenery by their gummy nature that
it is impossible to dislodge them even
after many washings.
This objection only applies to water
cress grown in sluggish streams where
such eggs may be swept into the plant.
AS the growth requires a swift stream
IN order to do well and elaborate itself
speedily, tender watercress is pretty
sure to have come from good stream.
So the tenderness of the plant is a test
OF Its having grown in good water.
Salt VIII eject and loosen all eggs, how
ever. If there is any suspicion Of their
being present. Washing in SAT- water
In any case should not be omitted, as it
adds to the edibility of the watercress.

PURE SUNLIGHT AND AIR.

Places Here Which Shame the Old

We have often heard of "sunny Ita-
ly" or the clear light" Of Egypt, says
the Desert: but, believe me, there is no
sunlight there compared with that
which falls upon the upper peaks Of
the Sierra Madre or the uninhabitable
wastes of the Colorado desert.
Pure sunlight requires for its ex-
!stence pure air, and the old world has
little OF it left. When you are in
Rome again and stand upon that hill
where all good Romanists go at sun
set look out and see how dense is the
atmosphere between you and st. Pc

over Europe. all around the Mediter-

LABORERS IN GERMANY.
Consul General Hughes Sends Report
That Many Are Unable to Secure
Employment.

There Is a continuous scarcity OF
work in Germany, Consul General
Hughes hos sent reports to the state
department showing that in the min
ing districts and in the centers of
the iron working and machine max
ing regions short hours, dismissal
of hands, and cutting down OF wages
are general. In the month of July,
1900, when the depression OF business
in general was felt for the first time
on the labor market, the decrease Of
employed laborers amounted to only
three per cent, while in July of this
year their already much reduced
number has decreased by further
five per cent.
There is q marked increase in the
number OF men applying for work at
the public labor Offices. In July,
1850, for every 100 open places 1922
applicants were counted; this year
their number has run up TO 1909.
The labor offices report an in
