Bladder troubles almost always result

taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the

METHOD TO FIND BREAKS
Chicago Surgeon Proposes Use of Tun-
ing Fork in Locating Bone
Fractures.

A very simple method of locating
fractures in bones, particularly in long
ones, by the aid of a tuning fork, is pro-
posed by a Chicago surgeon.
A stethoscope is placed over the bone
as near as possible to the point of sus-
pected fracture and on the side where
the skin is thinnest Then a vibrating
tuning fork is placed against the flesh
near the bone, but on the other side of
the fracture, if possible. If the bone is
continuous, a distinct, clear sound will
be heard in the stethoscope, but if the
break is between the two, this sound
will be faint and irregular as the vibra-
lions will not be transmitted past the
break.
OF course, says Golfers Weekly, this
depends upon the fact that hard bone is
an excellent conductor of vibration,
while tissue is not. Perhaps even a
more valuable application of this idea
would be in finding out when break has
knitted properly, for when the joining
is again perfect the sound will be a.
clear as that Of an unbroken bone.

PUT SUGAR IN THE SOUP.
Smith Thought It Was Tea; Then
He Deliberately Lied
Out of It.

There had been glorious game of golf,
followed by jolly dinner at the club
house, relates the Chicago Record-Herald.
Sometimes it is not the correct thing
to tell even a truthful story with real
names, hence it happens that it was the
Joneses who gave. the spread and the per-
son that happened in was Smith.
Smith is really a man of parts, wealthy,
intelligent and genial, and usually knows
whats what" but he is not given to
swell affairs and is not dressy, withal
A business call had taken Smith to the
club house, and Jones, seeing him, called
him to the table after the others had
begun. Soon as he was seated, being pre-
occupied by salutations from other persons
at the table that he knew, he was absent

Mrs. Jones, hoping to make the matter
quite plain to this plain man, said, shrink
ingly:
"Ah-Mr. Smith-er.that is the soup"
Yes, thank YOU" Smith nonchalantly
replied. "Yes'm, L understand. But /
slightest emphasis on "bouillon." But
Smith was at that moment a prevaricator,
to put it mildly. He really thought the
cup was tea, and probably never tasted
sweetened bouillon in his life.

GERMAN WOMEN'S ADVANCE
Years of Public Abuse and Ridicule,
Followed by Hard Work,
Bring Results.

Back 20 or 80 years ago, says the Pill
grim, few women began to call the
attention of their sisters to all the
evil and dependence the lack of educa-
ton meant for them in a country
where knowledge is accounted the
highest good. Quiet, steady work fol-
lowed, undismayed by legislative &C
ton and by public abuse and ridicule,
until now almost all the German uni
versitiies are open in a measure to
women, allow them degrees in various
branches, and high schools and prepar-
atory schools and courses exist in vari-
GUS cities. With the right to study
the professions at home has come the
right to practice them, and there are
number of women physicians and a
few women lawyers in Germany to-
Gay, something that would nave been
considered impossible 80 years ago.
Prominent men have been enlisted IN
the service of higher education for
women, and the daughter of a minister
OF education was one of the first pupils
Of the high school courses opened in
Berlin ten years ago. Prominent in
this work have been such educators of
note as Helene LANCE in Berlin, Eliza
beth Gnauck-Kuhne in Leipsic, and
those veterans of the movement, now
passed away, Louise Otto-Peters of
Leipsic and Matilde Weber of Tubin-
gen.

TO FIGHT FooT-BINDING.
The Natural Feet Society Recently Or
ganized by English Women
in China.

The Natural Feet society, organized
not long ago in China by Mrs. Archibald
Little, is struggling bravely against ma
tive prejudices.
The English Woman's Review states
that there is an increasing opposition to
foot-binding among the official leaders
OF China, and, though the imperial edict
two years ago had little effect, some Of
the viceroys accepted it with interest,
one Of whom. Asen Chun-husen, not
only gave the society his approval, but
also wrote pamphlet on the subject and
had 5000 copies circulated in his own
province. Another viceroy had his own
little daughters feet unbound, and then
wrote pamphlet condemning the prae-
tice and caused it to be circulated
The missionaries give constant aid
and encouragement to the movement,
and at meeting in the chapel of the
American Methodists 80 young girls at.

The attempt to raise crops has beel

SEAL MONKEYS SUPERIOR.
Jocko Eludes Keepers, Enters Cage Of
Amphibian and Receives Hard
Beating.

A seals intelligence is not the most
striking characteristic of that amphi-
bian, but this story from the San Franci-
possess unexpected pugilistic possibiI-
ties. Jocko, the king-pin performer in
Herr Geisler's troupe of performing
monkeys, made the acquaintance of Prof.
Rumley's big performing seal a few days
ago in a manner that left the clever lit
tie monkey sadder, but considerably
wiser. AT feeding time Herr Geisler
inadvertently left open the door of the
monkey cage and the monkeys stood not
on the order of their going, but in a flash
were swarming over every available
space in the huge menagerie.
1t was only after an hours hard work
that the keepers managed to get their
charges together, with the exception of
little Jocko, who would hang by his tail
and grin just out of the keepers reach.
At least they succeeded in cornering
him, and in desperation he leaped to
the cage over the seals, at the top Of
which was the opening through which
the seals were fed. Finding his pursuers
close upon him, he jumped into the cage
and down upon the seals platform. The
big performing seal resented the intru-
sion and proceeded to catch the monkey,
now thoroughly frightened, between his
huge flippers. alternately shaping and
biting him. The teeth of the thoroughly
subdued monkey did not stop chattering
for half an hour after Prof. Rumley had
rescued him from his plight

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician of Rome,
Georgia, went through a food expert
ence which he makes public:
ut was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food,
and I also know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food is a won
derful rebuilder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as I did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains of this state;
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact was not quite as well as
when left home. My food absolutely
refused to sustain me and it became
plain that must change; then I be-
gan to use Grapefruit food and in two
weeks could walk a mile without
the least fatigue and in five weeks re-
turned to my home and practice, tax
ing up hard work again. Since that
time have felt as well and strong as
| ever did in my life.

all sufferers consider it a duty to
