TrOpic Vegetable Remedy for Rab-

TrOpic Vegetable Remedy for Rab-
les Now Being Tried.
DR.. Joseph Thompson, Of HyattSv!'Ie.
Md, suburb of Washington, believes
he has a cure for rabies. He is a
pra cticing physician, a graduate Of the
University Of Durham, Eng, and has
been in the United States l5 years.
The result of his experiments is await
ed with a great deal of interest.
DR.. Thompson while in India IN 1888
saw two natives on the ground appar-
emily dead. They were said TO have
been bitten by venemous snakes. Then
he saw another native bend over the
nen and blow from a leaf white
powder up the nostrils Of each. A
short time later the two GIen were up
and walking around, apparently suf-
fering no i'll effects from the bites.
The identity of the plant used, Or.
Thompson states, has not been fully
established. It has a spiral, lily-like
leaf. which does not unfold. 1t ap-
pears green and moist, but it hard AMI
brittle to the touch. 1t grows in Ae 1se.
dark iungles in the tropics.
DR.. Thompson has received supplies
OF the plant from Guiana, South Amer
lea and also from Burmah, British In
dia. He believes it is closely allied to
the herb used by Mexican Indians and
other natives Of the tropics in the
treatment Of venomous bites and
poisoned arrow wounds, and it IS
probably the plant referred to by trav-
elers as the spectacular remedy used
in many maladies that manifest their
terrific effects in the brain, spinal cord
and nervous system.
The remedy is always administered
by being blown up the nostrils of the
patient, preferably up the nostril of the
side on which the bite is located. This
is followed by a profuse flow of mu-
CHS. turbid at first, but soon becoming
clear if the disease is true rabies. Inc
wound becomes inf1amed, and upon be-
ing opened will exude a purulent dis
charge.

THE GOSPEL OF COMMON SENSE.
1t IL Badly Needed by the Rising
Generation of Americans.

1t IL Badly Needed by the Rising
Generation of Americans.
1t is probably among the working
people today that, relatively to their
means, the greatest amount of extraVa-
gance and rec6lessness as to the fu-
ture exists. 1t is noticeable even in
the smaller towns that in the shops
and groceries the most expensive ar
ticIes are largely sold, and finery IN
dress is a passion. 1t has been found
by observation of the girls who work
in mills and factories that the largest
part of their wages goes to useless
adornment: indeed, many of them say
that their purpose in working at all IS
in order to get money for fine hats and
clothes. With a proper education from
childhood such a state of things would
be impossible. When they come to
marry they are without knowledge or
how to manage a household in
thrifty way. A close observer and stu
dent of social questions estimates that
in the United States a thousand mil
lions of dollars are wasted in bad cook
ing, and as much more in drink, every
year. Suppose that vast sum were
saved annually and turned into capi-
tai for the workers. How soon cond1-
tions would change for the better, and
gradually disappear. There ought to
be a gospel Of cooking preached all
over the land, not only in the interest
of thrift and saving, but of good
health.
It is not necessary or desirable that
thrift should be carried to the point OF
miserliness or stinginess. Far from 1T.
What is needed is, while making al
lowance for recreation and wholesome
amusements, to keep always in sight
the proper proportion of things, rela-
tive to income, and every month to
save something. 1t was Franklin who
said: IF you know how to spend less
than you get, you have the philoso-
piers stone"
If man is thrifty, he accommodates
something with which to be judicious-
" generous, and provides for ocea-
sional recreation within Ills means.
and he cultivates a habit of mind
which is Invaluable in all directions. 1t
is the Woodworking man who knows
how to use the little fragments Of
time which come along with every day
who do things.

ExDort. of Altar of Roses.

The exports of altar OF roses from
Bulgaria in 1905 amounted to 1853
bounds. valued at $752, 400, as compared
with 9.13O pounds, the annual average
for the seven preceding years. The
United states bought only about TWEEN
ty-fve pounds of altar of roses from
Bulgaria in 1897, but took 3O.S of the
product in 1905. France came next
with 2S.S per cent; the United King
dom. 1873 per cent; Germany, 13.4 per
cent; Russia, As per cent, and Turkey

The evils of CONSERVATION

are many; in fact almost every serious
illness has its origin in constipation, and
some medicines, instead Of preventing con
stipation, add to it. This is true of most
cathartics, which, when first used, have a
beneficial effect, but the dose has to be
continually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest effect
There is one preparation, however, that
can be relied upon to produce the same
results with the same dose. even after
fifty years. daily use, and this is Brand
reth's Pills, which has a record of over
100 years as the standard remedy for con-
stipation and all troubles arising from an
impure state of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine lax
alive tonic pill your grandparents used
and can be found in every drug and medi-
cine store, either plain or sugar-coated.

Excellent instructions concerning the
building Of roads in various kinds Of
soil, at least expense, have been pub
lished in the Minnesota State Highway
Commissioners Bulletin, No. 1, by. Geo.
w. Cooley, secretary and engineer Of
the commission. The following rules
are given for the guidance of road
Overseers:
Keep all lines Of drainage open. Keep
ruts and hOllOws out of the road by
continuous filling and dragging. Keep
stones, sod and old vegetable matter OFF
the road surface. Fill low places and
holes with the same material Of which
the road is built. See that culverts are
in condition to take care of the flow
ing water, especially before freezing
up time, and open them up as early IN
the spring as possible. Don't change
men and teams around too much. They
will give more satisfaction if kept at
the same class of work. Keep weeds
and brush away from the sides OF the
road as much as possible and wherever
the road is too much shaded, especially
if it is clay, trim the trees up to
height of eight feet above the ground.
All the material within the limits
of tlse right of way may be used Tor
road purposes only. You have no
right to the grass or timber nor to the
earth or stone not required for the
road; all such belonging to the abuC-
ting owner to the center of the road,
but in his use or taking of them he is
limited by the authorities to make
whatever use of them that is necessary
for the improvement and protection OF
the public travel.
If to this could be added the require
ment that all heavy hauling be done
with wide-tired wagons, the front
wheels of which should track just in
side the rear wheels, immediate and
permanent improvement in the public
roads would follow. For no matter
how scientifically a road is built, the
continual passing over it, or rather
through it, in rainy, muddy weather Of
narrow-tired, loaded wagons will cut
it into ruts and hollOws and ruin it in
day or two Wide-tiFed wheels, track
ing separately, would help to pack and
make the roadbed smooth and firm.

Rurnt CLAY Tor Highways.

Congress some time ago established
an office of public roads, which it in
structed to conduct experiments and
devise methods for improving the roads
of the United States. The Office has
done a great deal to arouse interest
throughout the country in the necessity
of good roads and has originated sew
eral means of making good roads eco
nomically. The latest discovery is
that of burning clay roads in Missis-
sippi.
In large areas in the South, particu-
larly in the valleys of the Mississippi
and its tributaries, sedimentary clays
are found very generally. In these
areas there is little or no sand and the
clays are Of a particular plastic and
sticky variety. These sticky clays are
locally known as "gumbo" and buck
shot" In such localities traffic is abso-
lutely impossible during the wet sea-
son, as the wheels Of heavy vehicles
will sink to the hub.
The clay is black, owing to the high
percentage of organic or Vegetable mat.
ter it contains. It is particularly sticky
in its nature and is almost wholly free
from sand and grit. After it has been
burned, however, the Elasticity is de
stroyed and a light clinker formed
which, though not particularly hard,
when pulverized forms a smooth sur.
face and seems to wear well.
