Danana Bread.

Bread made from banana flour is
common enough in Europe and Eng
land. One pound is said to contain
more nourishment and energy produc-
ing material than one pound of the
finest beefsteak, is much more digest
ible and less than one-sixth the price.
Sir Henry Stanley was firm believer
in the banana. He went so far as to
advise that its consumption would cure
rheumatism, gout and all liver affec-
tions. When lying at the point of death
from gastritis light cruel of banana
-four mixed with milk was the only
food he could retain and digest. The
secret of the banana as a health and
strength producing food lies in its high
percentage of proteids and the great
number of its calories, respectively 20
and 391.71. 1t is a perfectly balanced
ration if sliced for breakfast and serv-
ed with milk and sugar.-New York
Press.

The End of Books.

What brings about the end of books?
Is it fire, water, worms? AS every
ship launched is bound to be wrecked,
every theater to be burned, the finis of
the book is its reduction to ashes.
What became of the Alexandrian Ii
brary? Did the Saracens burn it in
GAO? There is this question asked !:
Was there any library at Alexandria
containing 100000 books? Gibbon in
clines to the opinion that there was no
such library. Canon Taylor insists
that if there had been a library it was
burned in the time of julius Caesar.
Tradition seems to indicate, however,
that there was library in the sera-
peum, by no means large collection,
but whether destroyed by Theophilus
or Theodosius is not known. 1t looks
as if the charge brought against the
Arabs rested on no foundation. Explo-
rations of Alexandria in 1896 show
no traces of the serapeum. The sea-
port of Egypt was built on a damp
foundation, and granting that there
was library, if not destroyed by fire,
then the papyri might have suffered
from decay due b. water. Books of
to-day taken to India, to the Southern
States and to the West Indies perish
through mildew.

Sucking the Thumb.-As a prevent
i've put a piece of adhesive plaster,
such as surgeons use, little less than
one-half inch wide, above the first
joint, or between the two joints of the
child's thumb. Paste the end securely,
but be careful not to interfere with
circulation.
Origin of Spotted Feyer.-Recent ex-
periments prove that the deadly spot
ted fever of the Rocky mountains Is
caused by the infection Of ticks acting
much like that which sets up splenetic
fever in the bovine race. This con-
firms a widespread belief which has
hitherto been controverted by physi-
clans.
The Danger in Headache Powders
Acetanalid poison is found in practi-
cally all of the patent headache pow
ders and they should either be avoided
or taken with great caution. This poi
son is dangerous drug, and If the
stomach Is weakened to certain ex-
tent the quantity in headache pow
der may be sufficient to kill. In fact
boy died recently in Mesa County
from this poison.
Rheumatism.. Of the latest rem
edies Is that of a gardener who rec
ommends the familiar plant so well
known as chlckweed. The method Of
using 1t consists of filing a wide
mouthed bottle three-fourths full with
plant and then pouring in spirits Of
wine sufficient to cover the whole. The
preparation Is then allowed to stand
for from four days to week, at the
end of which time the tincture Is to be
rubbed into the affected parts in the
usual way.
Whooping Cough.-Procure mix
ture of peroxide of hydrogen two
drains, sirup Of tolu ~ ounces and
water one-half ounce Give from ten
drops to one teaspoonful according to
age every hour for two or three doses,
then every two hours for six or eight,
getting farther between doses as the
patient improves. This Is newer and
better formula than that of any of
the old-fashioned cough sirups, the
most of which depend upon morphine
or opium as palliative.

The Country's Traffic for the Year
Appropriated $50, 900.
More than $4,000,000 worth of auto
mobiles were brought into the United
States during the fiscal year ending
with the last week of June. and more
than $3,000000 worth were exported
during the same time. Figures of our
foreign commerce in automobiles show
the value of automobiles imported in
the eleven months ending with May to
have been $3,502, PA, and of parts
thereof, $37S,3S9, while exports thereof
during the same months amounted to
$2,957,74S. 1t is apparent, therefore,
that the figures for the full fiscal year
which ended with June will show more
than $4000,000 worth of automobiles
and parts thereof imported, and more
than 100000 worth exported.
Meanwhile the manufacture of auto
mobiles in the United States has
amounted to presumably more than
$26,000,000, since the bureau of the cen.
sus has recently issued a preliminary
statement which shows the value Of au-
tomobiles manufactured in the United
States in 1905 at $26,654,064. This fig
ure includes amounts received from Gus

products other than automobiles; bu
as 1t does not include automobiles, val

probably be safely set down that th'
