There Is nothing complicated about the
lin cure. AL that is required Of the pa
ent 8 that he shall stand In the open,
it'll his body bare of all clothing, and let
,e falling rain pour on him.
The sensation is said to be very agree
able. Those who have tried the new
treatment assert that the rain falling
upon the bare body invigorates the
whole system and is especially strength
ening to the nerves.
There Is no set rule for taking the
treatment. Some Of those who began
It several months ago, at the early
break OF winter, have stood in the rain
for several hours at time without SUI
1ering effects OF q disagreeable char
acter afterward.
Devotees Of the rain cure welcome
/ the appearance Of black cloud which
forbodes terrific downpour Of rain.
It is then that they strip to the skin
and get out in their back yards. which
are enclosed by high board fences, and
let the water come down upon them in
torrents.
It lie declared that the rain euro is a
u sure remedy for rheumatism and that
i decided improvement has been noted in
cases OF persons afflicted with tuber-
>. culosis. For nervous disorders the
treatment Is said to be infalllble. Ono
treatment, 1t is said, will cure a severe
cold.
The treatment ia believed to have had
its origin in Austin. So far as can be
1 learned, John burst. young business
man Of this city, was the first person to
give 1t trial.
A few months ago re was suffering
l from severe cold. A rainstorm came
\up, and while it was in progress he de-
n cided to strip and get out into 1t to see II
y 1t would help his cold. There Is q high
l board fence around his back lot. After
disre bling in the barn he went into the
lot and let the rain fall upon his bare
body
The experiment was O success. The
one treatment cured his cold. Since then
e ne YER misses taking the rain cure when at
ONE during rain. He has perfect health.
He related his experience to some OF his
lends, and the Fad, II such 1t can be called,
AZ spread rapidly.
1t Is recommended that weak persons
no take the treatment should not remain
the rain too long at time and that a
Igorous rubbing should follow the wetting.
II Is the theory OF those who have taken
le treatment that its efficacy lies in tho
Ict that the raindrops contain peculiar
edicinal properties and that, coming
trough the air as they do, they are charged

A SEWING MACHINE
THAT MESSAGES AND FANS

| Perhaps sewing On a machine is hot

red. Never mind, let the machine mas
sage you when the sewing is done and
perhaps incidentally clean your teeth
Did you ever think of your sewing
machine as anything but driver of the
needle and thread? 1t is really a little
foot-engine capable of doing all kinds
of work in the household.
One cheap and simple little attach
ment just invented is fan which
whirls silently as the machine runs.
The blades of the fan drive quite a
current of air which can be directed to-
ward or away from the operator
On a hot day, with the blades set
right, stiff breeze fans the cheeks and
hands of the seamstress, and at the
same time prevents lint and dust from
settling on the machine. The blades
can be adjusted so as to make the
breeze as light as desired.
The fan is connected with the fly
wheel of the machine, and the extra
footpoWer it takes to revoive it is i'm
perceptible.
Another attachment now on the
market turns the sewing machine into
a massage machine.
The operator needs only to swing a
little arm on top of the machine, so
that the little rubber wheel of the
attachment engages the f1y-wheel of
the machine. Instantly the massage
a apparatus Is in action.
A woman may sit in the chair. op-
crate the machine and apply the mas
sage at the same time. or better yet,
she may recline at her ease on the
couch or bed while her younger brother
Or sister or anybody acts as prime

course, can be worked at the same
time and, if desired, sewing can be
done also,

QUESTION OF NATIONALITY.

If fly drops into a beer glass one
who has made a study of national char
acteristics can easily tell the drink
er's nationality by his action.
A Spaniard pays for the beer, leaves
it on the table and goes away without
saying word.
A Frenchman will do the same, ex-
cept that he swears while he goes.
An Englishman spills the beer and
orders another glass.
a German carefully fishes out the fly
and finishes drinking his beer as if
nothing had happened.
A Russian drinks the beer with the
fly.
A Chinaman fishes out the fly, swal-
lows it, and then throws away the
