H ELM PEEtER.
A Noney-Making Business That Indian.
ians Deapise.

1anS Deeplse.
Call an Indiana man an ''elm peeier"
and you wreck his pride. Usually it
draws from him a venomous retort.
The term "eim peeler," according to
the old masters Of the Hoosier Ian.
guage, constitutes a slur. At Peru.
however, it stands for money, and lots
of it. If you don't believe it, ask A.
l.. Hitler, the "elm peele-," of Peru.
He knows.
The "elm peeler'' is a benefactor OF
mankind. He is the Hoosier medicine
man, and is not to be spoken of dis.
p%aragingly.
Twelve years ago Hitler began peel.
ing elm trees in the forests surrounding
Peru. His sale Of the medicine freight.
ed peel was small at first, but grad
ually chemists began to realize that the
elm peel was curative, and Killers
business increased with the years.
Now he cannot get it fast enough.
Most of Killers product Of the forest
goes to a Chicago medicine manufac.
turing company, and he gets nine and
one-half cents a pound for it. Recent.
ly, with FIVE assistants, MI. Hitler gath.
cred 1900 pounds of elm peel, receiv.
ing 1854 for the shipment. 1t required
fifteen days to gather the lot.
The season for peeling elm trees is
from April 10 to June 1. Hitler and his
"elm peelers" go to the woods and
camp during the peeling season. Ere.
quently they work from fifteen to eigh.
teen hours a day-in other words, they
make peel while the sun Shines"
The trees must be ten inches or more
in diameter before they are felled and
peeled. The elms are sawed near the
bottoms, and then rolled to a spot con.
venient for peeling. The rough outside
covering is removed, and then q large
knife is used to dissect the slippery
part of the elm. There the peeler has
the slippery elm so dear to the heart
of every boy. The boy who doesn't
know when the slippery elm season
is one is a juvenile d%yspeptic.
After the trees have been peeled. the
logs are abandoned, and are later cut
into stoyewood. Elm Peeler Hitler in.
sists that unless the planting of elns
is made an extensive industry by the
farmers, in q few years the elm will be
extinct, and it is necessary to have
them for the medicine they contain

population within four streets in New
York, it is by no e the densest

Orchard streets, with a population OF

Triala Of the DiRestion.

DR.. Brouardel, the chief Of the Paris
laboratory, writes thus Of the trials OF
the digestion IN Paris: when a man
takes milk for his early breakfast pre-
served with formic aldehyde, when hs
eats at luncheon a slice Of ham kept
good by borax, with spinach or French
beans made green with sulphate OF
copper, and when he washes all that
down with half a bottle of wine cleared
with an excess of plaster Of Paris, and
that for twenty years, how is it to be
expected that such a man can have q

The Test.

the best in anybody. Fair weather is no

is no test Of The teachers ability. II one

well, ones best needs to become q great
deal better. Fair-weather success is a hot

When the Paris models began to
come in it was seen that nearly all the
new petticoats and drop skirts had
m stiffening set in at the head OF
the dust ruftle, while N a faw it as.

Then some bright mind thought Of put

the puzzle was most satisfactorily
solved by the lily haircloth fiounce, as
it is called.

Ia Grippe is Epidemic Catarrh.

T T spares no class or nationality. The
Il cultured and the ignorant, the aristo-
crat and the pauper, the masses and the
classes are alike subject to Ia grippe. None
are exempt-all are liable. -.
Grip is we'll named. The original French
term, la grippe, has been shortened by the
busy American to read grip" ,
Without intending to do so, a new word
has been coined that exactly describes the
grip had clutched US in its fatal clasp.
Men, women. children, whole towns and
cities are caught in the baneful grip Of a

Rather a quaint idea comes from
