A Substitute for Leather.

An English inventor has devised a
perfect substitute for leather which
can be used for boots, shoes and for
every other purpose for which leather
is employed. The new tissue is called
wolff. 1t is being extensively used
in England, having been adopted by
the London Shoe Company especially
for walking shoes on account of it's
GOODNESS and its lightness. Wolff is
more durable than leather and is
much more waterproof, while at the
same time more porous, which makes
it a nonconductor, and to a large de-
gree obviates the necessity for wear
ing rubbers which are needed by one
whose feet are clad with leather only
when the slush and mud is SO deep
that the feet are half buried at every
STEP

Airs. III. WrioHf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
IS For two years 1 suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties.
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my
stomach I tried different dyspepsia cures
but nothing seemed to help me. 1 was adj
vised to give Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to fin1 that it acted like a fine tonic, and in
few Gays began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
commended it to many suffering wO men,"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement, or has such record Of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Diseased Cattle for Slaughter.

A deliberate attempt to send car
load of diseased cattle for slaughter
in New York was recently foiled by
the State Agricultural Department.
Word was received of the shipping of
the stock and the car was intercepted
in the railroad yards in New York
by the departments agents. Of
twenty cows found in the car, three
were in a dying condition, and soon
expired. Eight others were suffering
from advanced tuberculosis, and at
least three from pneumonia. 1t was
also learned that several others of
the herd had died at Utica before
they could be transferred to the car
on the New York train. 1t is intend
ed to prosecute the shipper of the cat
tie.

FOOD VALUE OF FRUIT
Prejudice Against Liberal Use Is Result
of Erroneous Notions.

There are many popular but I'M
founded prejudices against the dietic
use of fruits. 1t is generally sup
posed, for example, that fruits are
conducive to bowel disorders, and
that they are especially prone to pro-
duce indigestion if taken at the last
meal The truth is the very opposite
of these notions. An exclusive diet
of fruit is one of the best-known rem
edies for chronic bowel disorders.
During the late war, large numbers
of the soldiers suffering from chronic
dysentery were in several instances
rapidly cured when abundantly sup
piled with ripe peaches. Fruit juice
may be advantageously used in both
acute and chronic bowel disorders.
Care must be taken, however, to
avoid fruit juices which contain a
large amount of cane sugar. Juices
OF sweet fruits should be employed,
or a mixture of sour and sweet fruit
juices, or acid fruit juice may be
sweetened with malt honey or mel
tose, natural sweet produced from
cereals. Raisins, figs, prunes, sweet
apples and pears may be mixed with
sour fruits.
Indigestion sometimes results from
the use of fruits in combination with
a variety of other food substances;
but fruits taken alone constitute the
best possible menu for the last meal
of the day. The combination of fruit,
sugar, cream, bread, butter, cake and
pie may well produce bad dreams and
bad taste in the mouth in the morn
ing. The use of fresh or stewed fruit
alone without any addition whatever
will produce no disturbance, and will
leave no unpleasant effects behind to
be regretted in the morning. Very
acid fruits sometimes disagree with
persons who have an excess of acid
and those who are suffering from
chronic Inflammation of the stomach;
but with these exceptions, there is al
most no case in which fruit may not
be advantageously used.
The notion that acid fruits must be
avoided by rheumatics is another err
ror which is based on inaccurate OBJ
servations- The fact is, rheumatics
are greatly benefited by the use of
fruit. At the same time they should
abstain from the use of flesh foods of
all sorts, beef tea and animal broths
and all meat preparations, also tea
and coffee, as well as alcohol and to-
bacco 1t is, of course, possible for
one to take an excess of acids, as one
may take an excess of starch or any
other food substances. Vegetable
acids differ from mineral acids in the
fact that they do not accumulate in
the body, but are assimilated or util-
lied in the same way as sugar and al
lied substances.

Food Value of Eggs.

Eggs are a very nourishing food
and represent two important ele-
ments. fats and proteids, in an easily
assimilated form. A single egg
weighs about one and one-half
ounces, of which one ounce is white.
or pure albumin. and one-half ounce
yolk. The nutritive value of the yolk
is greater than that of the white.
though it's bulk and weight are small
er. It's solid constituents are about
one half of it's fat. Fresh eggs, prop
erly prepared, are readily digestible.
The best mode of preparation is
whipped raw, or cooked for twenty
or thirty minutes at temperature OF
about 1902 (curdled). The yolks are
more easily digested when boiled
hard, and the whites are also easily
digested when hard boiled, providing
care is used to reduce the coagulated
white to minute particles which may
readily be dissolved by the gastric
juice.
single egg is equal in value to
dozen oysters
