Apple Acids.

The acids of the apple are of singu-
lar use for men of sedentary. habits,
whose livers are sluggish in action,
those acids serving to eliminate from
the body noNious matters which if re-
tanned would make the brain heavy
and dull or bring about jaundice or
skin eruptions and other allied troI-
bles. Some such experience must have
led to the custom of taking apple
sauce with roast pork, rich goose and
other like dishes. The malic acid of
ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will
neutralize any excess of chalky mat
ter engendered by eating too much
meat. 1t is also the fact that such
fruits as the apple, the pear and the
plum, when taken ripe and without
sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach
rather than provoke it. Their vege'
table sauces and juices are converted
into alkaline carbonates by the chem
ical action of the stomach juices, which
tend to counteract acidity.

Monkeys In Captivity


"To see monkeys kept in a cage is to
me pitiful and saddening exhibition
says an English writer. THE little
caricatures of humanity in my pos
session are let out of their houses in
the morning and allowed to play and
gambol about the grounds during the
daytime to their hearts content. Those
who have seen monkeys only in cages
can form but a faint idea of the joy
BUSINESS of the happy little creatures as
they bound from tree to tree in the
enjoyment of their freedom. At even
ing time they all return to their house
without giving any trouble.
Monkeys, like most wild animals,
are very shy before strangers, and if a
visitor happens to arrive who is I'M
known to them they keep perfectly still
and hide themselves so well among the
foliage that the stranger could not
realize that he was being watched by
several pairs of the sharpest little eyes
imaginable"

constructed on the top of the royal resi-

Its splendor and its perfume made 1t
seem an enchanted place. Countless
roses hung from Us high arched roof.
Thousands of lights glowed softly from
under the leaves of palms, plantains

minarets and glittering cupolas of
kioSks Parrakeets flew from branch to
branch; waterfalls splashed unsteady;
on the walls views of the nimalaya

as to give an impression of space and

occasionally permitted to bear his mai

to Fraulein SchefsZky, an opera singer,
whose superb voice had won his en-
thusastic admiration. Unwilling that
this should be limited to her voice, the
lady sent him verses limiting of her
ardent love and made him presents
that he accepted on condition that he

dismissal of the fraulein from royal

Zone evening she was invited to sit
with him and Wagner in the boat. 1t
seemed to her that she had reached the
highest place in his favor. Therefore,

SLEEP CURE FOR PATIENTS
Norwegian Physician Devises Rem
edy for Nervous Pros
tration.

Some 20 years ago, when an annual
breakdown became as fashionable as an
annual holiday, the medical world
agreed that if the tired body were kept
quiet, hypernourished and massaged, a
cure was pretty certain.
In many cases where there had been
no mental overstrain this was so. In
other cases, however, the worried head
did not benefit from the enforced quiet
and passivity. The whole man was un-
utterably bored.
DR.. Otto Wetterstrand, of Stockholm,
is trying to meet this difficulty by treat
ing such patients by a sleep prolonged
even to three or four weeks, and the
Psyche Therapeutical society of Lon
don hopes to follow his methods when
it can afford larger premises to accom-
modate the patients under this ''sug-
gestive" cure.
DR.. Wetterstrand has treated over
5000 cases. The jaded, worried man re-
clines in an easy chair; he sees others
doing the same; he listens, as they do, to
a quiet forcible exposition of the cure
from the doctor, who afterward speaks
to him individually in subdued UNDER
tone, suggesting" the benefit his par
ticular malady will receive. After few
days of such preliminary treatment the
patient goes willingly to bed and to
sleep, reused occasionally to a half-con-
scious state to eat and be tended. No
unauthorized person is allowed to enter
the room; the sleeper is put en- rapport
with a sympathetic nurse and receives
the necessary suggestion as to eat
ing, etc., from the doctor himself "The
remarkable results" says great
French physician, (which Wetterstrand
has had will considerably extend the
limits of suggestive therapy."
The deeper the sleep the quicker the
cure and, unlike that produced by hyp-
motto drugs, it is as invigorating as nat
ural sleep and allows nature an equa.
chance of repairing organic and func-
tional disorders.

SUMNER OR WINTER DAIRY
Advantages Of Having the Cows Drop
Their Calves in the Fall
of the Year.

The advantages of winter dairying
are numerous. If the cow drops her
calf in the fall or early winter she will
give good flow of milk throughout
most of the winter season on very
little more feed than is necessary to
winter dry cow. In the spring,
when the milk flow has begun to de-
crease, the cow seems to take a new
start when put on grass, thus giving
practically two freshenings in the
year. By this method of dairying
the greatest milk yield occurs during
the season of highest prices. The
farmer is not SO rushed with work,
and can give more attention to feed
ing and caring for the cattle. In
the mild winter climate of Missouri,
1t is not necessary to provide the very
best shelter, except during very small
parts of the season. The manure pro-
duced in stabling will easily repay
for the extra care and trouble. 1t is
much easier to care for the milk
and produce good butter when the
temperature is cool, and there is
great saving in ice. L. WilloughDy.

RULES FOR DAIRYMEN.
Some Suggestions by Prof. Carlyle
for Obtaining the Best
Results.

Prof Carlyle, of the Colorado agri-
cultural college, has formulated a set
of rules for the guidance of dairymen
in carrying on their work so as to in
sure the best results. They are as fol-
lows:
The solids of the cows milk are man
ufactured from the feed the cow eats.
Good milk, cream and butter can only
be produced when cows have a liberal
supply of clean, wholesome and nutri-
tlous food. Do not feed cows any feed
not pure, wholesome and we'll favored
enough to be manufactured directly into
butter
Cows milk is about IS per cent. wa
ter See to it that your cows have free
access to pure running water at all
times in summer. Stagnant pools and
dirty or impure water cannot be made
into good milk, cream or butter by
either cows or man.
Cows should be milked regularly and
as nearly as possible by the same per-
sons and at the same hour each night
and morning.
Cows udders should be brushed clean
and rubbed with a damp, coarse towel
before milking. Be as careful with your
hands, your clothing and the udders or
the cows in milking as you would have
your wife in making bread.
See to it that all pals, pans, strain
ers, cans and separators are thoroughly
scalded with boiling water after being
used each time. Boiling water should
only be used after washing, and is the
only agent that will keep dairy utensils
clean and sweet.
Milk should be strained into cans and
removed from the stable and separated
as soon as possible after milking.
Never allow milk or cream to stand ex-
posed in COW stable or to other odors.
Milk or cream absorbs odors quickly.
After separating, cream must be
cooled quickly to so degrees and kept
at that temperature until started to the
creamery. Never mix warm cream with
that which is cooled.
