A few are ranged on tho other side.
One of the ablest gynecologists in this
country has said: mo human care or
skill can eliminate the fearful risk Of
such interference with the natural
limiting barriers of this disease"
Again and again have people been cut
open to discover that the expected
condition was not evident, but physi-
clans always assure the patient they
have something just as good"
What was the cause Of the opera
ton?
The doctor-usually.
They have recently discovered that
very wealthy people have an appsn-
dix somewhere just back Of the ear
that ought to be cut out II one has the
money to pay for it.
At first 1t was supposed that ap-
pendicities was caused by the lodg-
ment of small bits of indigestion In
the sac Of the organ, which, having
no outlet, retained them till they fes-
tered there.
A panic went abroad that any one
who ate fruit with small seeds is run
ming the risk of fearful death. SO
strong has this dread taken hold Of
the public mind that thousands refuse
to eat the minor fruits.
But this Is impossible and utterly
baseless, since the healthy appendix
is protected by valvular arrange
ment which would prevent even the
smallest seed entering; so such can
not be the original harm. It Is only
after Inflammation from some other
cause has already destroyed this nor
NAL protection that any fors.sn sub
stance can get In at all.
Smooth seeds are harmless and
fruit is most necessary to health, since
constipation is really the most prolific
cause Of appendicitis, the sluggish
ness Of the bowels and the gases
formed In consequence producing the
germs called bacilli coli communis,
which ls probably what has given rea-
! son to the latest announcement that
the scourge Is created by the presence
OF intestinal worms which attack the
mucous membranes, causing serious
wounds. Prof. Metchnikof, also Of
the French academy. states that in
more than forty cases under his eye
the symptoms disappeared after the
patient had been treated for worms.
When Sir Thomas Upton last ar
rived in New York, just before the
yacht race, he was taken down with
the dreaded scourge. A consultation
was arranged, in which very dis
tinguished surgeon made a most ex-
traordinary proposition:
He must not lose that race! There
is no time to operative must cure
him without operating!"
1t is too bad to 60 into details, but
they may be useful:
A warm concoction Of equal parts Of
milk molasses, three pints In quantity
injected by means of syringe and
long flexible rubber tube.
The treatment comes from Sir An
drew Clark, one of the leading Lon
don surgeons, who Is foolish enough
to give 1t away and says that in nine
cases out Of ten 1t will obviate the
need Of operation.
Sir Thomas was on deck all right.
There was no time to operate, 80 they
let him get we'll" See?

Automobiles for Every Use

There are now In use 100000 auto
mobiles OF one kind or another, though
It was only twelve years ago that the
first convincing type was produced.
Since 1889 inventors had struggled to
induce the marine gasoline engine to
turn two wheels Of road vehicle in
stead Of q screw propeller. 1t did
not seem dlfficult, in theory. but eight
years elapsed before the first motor
driven vehicle proved it's worth by
running from Bordeaux to Paris at a
speed of fourteen miles an hour, stead
lily. TITS brutal. but 1t goes" said
It's designer, Levassor, when he saw
1t returning. Its mechanism was
within easy reach matter Of the
first importance at the time and not
negligible yet. It was the forerun-
ner of the 100000 automobiles of
1906; and the majority of 100000
other motor vehicles are modelled on
1t to some extent, though more direct
~ patterned after other types of
machine.
The automobile promises more
than It has achieved In utility; but 1t
has done much more than it promised
IN other respects. Road building, the
unihcation of agriculture, school re-
form, the Capitalization of retail bust
ness by the expansion of it's zone, the
upbuiiding Of International amity, the
reconstruction of war and peace con-
ditions, the extension of the boundar-
les of science-thess are but a few
OF its far-reaching results.
To understand the automobile is to
understand the chassis Literally SASH
frame,) that which makes 1t go. AS
now used, the word includes the whole
power equipment, steering gear,
springs. axles. and wheels. The tail
oring, the body building, is separate.
The chassis and the body, one above
the other, are as distinct from each
other as the vehicle and the horse,
one before the other. The separation
goes further; trucks are already made
In New York whose produces put a
new engine in the vehicle while the
old one is being repaired. In motor
bicycles the saddle is the body; the
rest Is all chassis, turned edgewise.

The average bill board show prides
itself upon realism, but there Is one
on the boards now that looks mighty
suspicious. The hero is supposed to
be drowning and holds the fainting
heroine in his arms. As he is sinking
for the last time he makes the follow
ing speech: "oh. God, never have you
deserted me in my hour Of trial and
now, in my need, call upon you and
put my trust in thee" Would man
going down for the last time have time
for such long speech? The patrons
of the billboard say the man looks as
though he is sinking In just about
enough water to half fill bath tub in
stead Of in an ocean full which is the
mount of realism the bill board show
demands.

I'LL q place in the trafnc Of the coun-
tries named to which there is moth
ing corresponding in America.
These vehicles are in no sense an
outgrowth Of anything new in me-
chanics or science and have little In
common with the other types of auto
mobiles. They are found far more
economical and expeditions than.
horses. however, for relatively long
and uninterrupted hauls: but they are
totally unfit for work involving many
stops and delays, mainly because their
fuel consumption goes on undimin-
ished when they colhe to stop and
because their economy leaks away
when pay loads arv not up to their
capacity. It Is figured in England
that below a capacity of three tons
the gasoline truck does all kinds OF
work more cheaply.
Another British development, very
much holder, is the revolution which
the gasoline motor omnibus Is effect
ing in the public transportation SER
vice Of the city of London. AS of
one accord, number of corporations
were formed, beginning in 1904, to
give the people Of London quick tran
sit without having rails or stringing
wires. Already, 500 to 600 "auto-
buses" gasoline. steam, and electric,
have been placed in commission. They
travel about eight miles an hour in
the crowded streets and all Of fifteen
miles an hour in residential districts,
usually seating fourteen passengers
inside and sixteen on top. All of
Europe's factories have been laid I'M
der contribution to complete the
change Of system within another year.
No one knows what the financial re-
suits will be, as all depends upon the
repair bills and life of the new vehi-
Giles. which cost $4,000 a piece. At
moderate fares based on mileage and
rarely exceeding 8 cents, the daily
receipts Of an autobus have on sew
eral routes run from $50 to $50 on
a 16-hour day.
The motor omnibuses In America
seldom hold more than twelve passen-
gers, being built over the chassis
of small truck or of heavy touring
car, and are mostly used as stages
in rural districts. They are still in
the experimental stage.

STATE MANUFACTURERS AGREE

At The mass meeting of the shinge

The shingle market is now tirper than

How TO Relieve iIar.rtaC.

Many young babies suffer greatly
from carachc without the cause being
suspected. says the Washington Post.
This Is often the case after Il cold or an
attack of bronchitis or pneumonia and
sometimes takes place when the child
is tecthing If the child screams sharp
ly, presses his head against his mother
or nurse or pulls at hi, ear as If 1t hurt
him. then earac.lc may be suspected.
If pressure just in front of the ear
causes the baby to jump as If in great
pain and to cry out, there is probably
something WRONG with Che ear.
Heat is by far the best remedy for
earache. Let the child lie with his ear
against Il covered hot water bag or
heat IL flannel over Il lamp and place 1t
against his ear. changing it often so
as to keep it very hot If this does not
help, try Swinging the ear with very
hot water Of temperature of 100 tie
grees to 10 degrees +. 10 not Use
n poulticc or blister unless the dec
tor especially orders it. AS soon as
possbl: after the first attack of pf.in
the baby should be taken to doctor,
and Il careful examination of his ears
should be made. Much unnecessary
deafness would be avoided If this wera
done by all young mothers.

THE care of Il fine rug is everything
Just as thoroughbred racers have lux

rugs in use during the summer. When
the warm weather approaches have
them taken up, carefully cleaned an'i

cleaning as practiced by experts is a.
follows: First all the dust Is removed
by the vacuum system; then the rug
Is spread on its face. liquid olive oil
soap is poured over the back and it il
gently rubbed with brush until Il
fine lather forms. Then the same thing
is done to the face of the rug. After
