FINDS AMERICAN TRUFFLES
Epicurean Discovery Made Through
the Capture of Squirrels
Breakfast.

Minneapolis Because a squirrel
was late with his breakfast Henry
Orleman of this city, made discov-
cry which will cause epicurcs all over
the country to sit up and take notice,
It has been supposed since the Amer
lean taste became educated up to
mushrooms that the truiIle which caps
the climax of the edible fungi, did not
grow in this country
OrIeman is a professional mushroom
picker and before the days of keen
competition used to make as high as
SIG and SIS day. For years he has
ranged the fields and woods about
Minneapolis picking up many hun
dreds of other mushrooms, but never
running across the long-sought trull'o
until a few mornings ago. Then he
saw squirrel running up an oak tree
carrying in its mouth what he first
thought was an acorn. Noticing that
the acorn appeared unusually large,
however, he threw stones at the SPUR
rel, WUlCu NlDHpch ulN plSuNi"7t'
Oroman picked up the falling meal,
sliced it and was delighted to find in
side the firm black granules which in
dcate the true trulIle. He searched
among the rotting leaves under the oak
and was rewarded by finding ~ fair
sized truIlies. At the best restaurant
here the proprietor's eyes opened wide
when he saw for the first time native
American trulIle. His chef said they
were the first he had seen grown out
side of France.
The II trufes were worth SO cents
each. In France the fungi bring from
So to $l2 d pound, according to quail
ity. They grow only beneath oak trees
and are generally concealed by loose
leaf mold on the surface, SO that they
are hunted with trained pigs or dogs.
Orleman intends to train some animals
to help him in his search in the vicin-
ity of the original find.

At what stage of the whooping cough

it become so? Can it be caught from

The disease has a period Of incuba-
ton of from four TO IA days. that Is.
one may come down with it at any
time from four to II days. after being
exposed. II would become contagious
at any time after the inilammatory

germ which would be declared guilty
of carrying the disease and in the alb

In the use Of plantain, one must u5e
good judgment and each one must ex-
pertinent to some extent have fire.
Quently given the formula for making
infusions of all kinds from various
herbs. which is one ounce of the herbs
to one pint Of water stepping usually
for about half an hour. The dose or
nearly all infusions will vary from
tcaspoonful to two or three dessert
spoonfuls. three or four times daily.
A dose of the tincture varies from five
drops to Is drops. 1t is popular
remedy for all kinds of hemorrhages
and the bruised leaves are excellent
for burns, bruises, stings Of insects,
bites of mosquitoes, etc It is also re-
markably etIicacious in poisons of all
kinds. An old negro now living in
the south obtained his freedom by dis
closing a nostrum for the bites of
snakes. the basis of which was plain
tian. 1t consisted in giving the ex-
pressed juice of plaintian and hore-
hound, equal parts; tablespoonful to
be repeated as often as the stomach
would bear, and the same to be applied
to the wound. The plaintain is, like
most herbs best when in blossom. |
would like to have some one who has
used the herb extensively, write full
description of their method for Club

Nebraska DR.. David H. Reeder,
Laporte, Ind, Dear Doctor: Does
kerosene have any bad after effect
taken internally or used as garglc?
My mother has been taking it in small
doses Ga few drops on sugar once a
day. at intervals the past year and
she says it has helped severe pain
In the back of her neck and made her
bowels and other abdominal organs,
better There is no doubt she is
much better and she says whenever
the various conditions manifest them
selves, she takes the kerosene for a
few weeks and gets better right along.
Last winter when the children
would begin to snuille and cough at
night with every indication of taking
a heavy cold-I tried giving a few
drops of kerosene on sugar and put
ting a drop or two up the nostrils and
in most cases the symptoms would
disappear by the next day. When my
