Planting a City.

DR.. Heinrich G. Leonhardt, of Tona-
wanda, recently supplied almost the
whole city with young trees, says
Country Life in America. At a dinner
which he attended he heard the sug-
gestion made that the city needed.
shade trees. Immediately he bought
thousands of young elm, maple and
chestnut trees, and as soon as it was
possible had them shipped to Tona-
wanda and stored in a nursery there
Then he announced that all who would
might have trees by applying at the
nursery. The effect was wonderful.
Streets that never would have had
trees were soon filled with dourishing
Young saplings that in twenty years
will be priceless-a magnificent monu-
ment to one man. Two thousand OF
the trees were distributed in an in
credibly short time. There was more
tree planting in Tonawanda this spring
than ever before. The only condition
attached to the offer was that persons
taking trees should guarantee to plant
them for shade purposes and to plant
them in accordance with directions
given at the nursery.-World's Work.

A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a jul

Making Child Lingulsts.

A new method of teaching Ian

popuIarized by an institution which
has Its headquarters in Paris.
Sir Oliver Lodge has adopted this
method of teaching his children
French by exchanging them for a linn

DR.. David H. Reeder, Laporte, Ind:
Dear Doctor-Will you kindly tell me

Health Club, what l should do to linn
Der up a stiff knee that became stiff
from lying in a steel frame for n
year and two months? 1 can bend it
some, nearly to the shape of a steel
square, but not any farther. l have
practiced and tried my level best. l
have not applied anything, but have
simply rubbed it with the palm of my
hand. And oblige, +. ii. A.
In the first place, I would advise you
to foment your knee with a decoctlon
of lobelia leaves and mullen. Then to
treat the disease constitutionally, L
think YOU ought to use the Schuessler
method of treatment. Schuessler was
an old German doctor who discovered
the system of incorporating into tablet
form the various tissue elements OF
the body. He then supplied them IN
that shape to the diseased tract-the
specific element required by each spe-
'ciic condition, the disease being caused
by lack of balance in the tissue ele-
ments. which balance must be restored
before a cure is effected. Thus IN
your case those elements which would
build up and feed the tissues in the
nerves, muscles, etc., of the knee would
be selected. BY all means continue the
manipulations. 1 trust you will adopt
these suggestions.

of course, confined to the store most OF

sleep each night, and then it is after
midnight. He is pale and nervous and
his general health is suffering.
He would be very thankful If you
could give him some method of treat
ment which would be beneficial. Will
it be necessary for him to get out of
the store? What kind of baths would
you recommend? He will gladly fol-
low your instructions. Medicines

I would suggest that the young man
take a horseback ride every evening

meat after the noon hour, and before
retiring he should take a cup of hot
milk. as follows: Heat it very hot, but
not so that it boils, then, keeping it hot,
sip it slowly with a t~easpoon-if it
takes fifteen minutes to sip it all, SO
much the better. Taken in this way

By DavidH Reeder, Phi, D., II. D.

During the hot ump1ef months tlfare
are frequently days when one feels
as though rest was out of the question.
Although one may not be doing extra
work, in fact, not as much as is ordi=
uarily done, yet rest seems far away,
The very atmosphere appears to make
one tired, whether standing, sitting or
lying down. Nothing seems to give
rest or refreshmeht.
A number of years ago l was, one
hot summer day, having just such an
experience in Providence, r. l. Walk
ing down Westminster street / met nh
old gentleman whom l knew quite
well, and he appeared so cool and
bright and comfortable that / felt it
would be a relief just 10 stop and chat
with him. l made some complaint
about the depressing effects of the
heat, and he at once asked me to go
With him to one of the little restaurants
for which Providence is famous. l
protested that l was not hungry, as
it was only II O'Clock, but he said.
Hungry? No, of course you are not
for ordinary food, but your nerves and
blood are hungry for a kind of food
which but few people know how to
supply Hoping to learn something
and get rest and comfort, If possible,
l went gladly.
"Give DR.. Reeder Il glass of my COM
pound double extract of YOUTH" was
the order he gave, and l watched with
interest while the waiter took from a
large sack a quart of common wheat
bran. Into this he poured ice water,
all it would hold. He then waited upon
another customer, being gone about
FIVE minutes. My friend in the mean
time had been chatting pleasantly. AT
last he saw me look rather anxiously
toward the waiter, and remarked:
Don't be in a hurry; you will find my
double extract much better if it is not
made in a hurry"
Presently the waiter returned and
strained the water out of the bran and
then proceeded to make a couple of
glasses of lemonade out of the water.

We slipped it slowly, and every drop
seemed to be doing its duty. In half
IN hour the tired feeling had vanished,

fifteen or twenty degrees lower.
