Automobile Consumption Cure.

Automobile Consumption Cure.
Motor-ear exercise will cure con-
sumption, says DR.. Blanchet, Of
Lyons. He speaks from personal
experience, having recovered his
own health by regularly covering
a hundred miles day in an open
motor car. He AYERS that by this
remedy the cough of tuberculosis
patients is gradually abolished or
greatly diminished, and healthy
sleep and appetite produced. tits
most essential that the body
should be duly protected from cold.
The elements Of the cure are the
long stay in the open air and the
increased atmospheric pressure
due to the rapid motion, which ex-
pands and strengthens the lungs.

eAMRoos OF THE JAPANESE
Most Useful Material Is as Indispen-
sable as White Pine in
America.

The word bamboo suggests to
most Americans a faithful fishing
rod or a dainty fan. To the Jap
apese and Chinese, who are the
most practical agriculturists in
the world, it is as Indispensable as
the white pine to the American
farmer, says the National Geo
graphic Magazine. They are not
only dependent on it for much of
their building material, but make
their ropes, mats, kitchen utensils
and innumerableOther articles out
of il.
There are many varieties of the
bamboo plant, from the species
which is woven into mats to the
tall bamboo tree which the China
man uses for the mast of his large
boat. One variety is cultivated as
vegetable, and the young shoots
eaten like asparagus, or they may
be salted, picked or preserved.
The rapidity of growth of the
bamboo is perhaps its most won
derful characteristic. There are
actual records of a bamboo grow
ing three feet in a sAngle day, or at
the rate of u inches an hour. Va
rieties of bamboo are found every
where in Japan, even where there
are heavy falls of snow in winter.
1t is popular misconception that
bamboos grow only in the tropics.
Japan is a land of bamboos, and
yet where these plants grow it is
not so warm in winter as it is in
California. Some of these vari-
cites could be grown commercially
in the United States.

LoNo-HoRNED CATTLE GONE
Breed Once So Common in Texas Dis
placed by Stock Of Greater
Value.

There was a time when the
"Texas steer" bred of cattle Gov
cred the grazing grounds Of the
southwest. They were the de-
scendants of the long-horned cat.
tie which the early Spanish ex-
plorers and adyenturcrs brought
from their homes across the seas.
Hundreds of thousands of them
ranged the unfenced pastures,
rendering little more than a small
tribute of hide and tallow to the
Mexican or beef to the Indian.
Finally, the cowboy came into ex
istence, and these wild denizens
of the plains were dragged from
their high estate and became the
subjects of sordid commerce, says
the Kansas City journal.
These cattle were rough in ap-
pearance and usually brown, dun
and black in color, there being no
deep reds and roans. Their horns,
however, were their really distin-
gushing features. These were
certainly immense, often from four
to five feet across from tip to tip.
They were naturallYNwild brutes.
Some of them could never be
rounded up, but had to be shot in
order that the others might be
got under some kind of control.
There were in every herd a few
fighters which the cowboys called
"mossheads." They would fight
viciously among themselves or
with the other cattle and would
frequently gore the horses of the
cowboys to death.
The longhorns have now practi.
cally all disappeared. Their place
has been taken by graded and thor.
oughbred cattle of a much larger
size and value.
