capers These are the unexpanded
flower buds of Capparis spinosa, pre-

which is much esteemed. The caper
plant Is a trailing shrub belonging to
the Mediterranean region. resembling
IN habit the common bramble and hav-

long. tassel-like stamens. The leaves
are simple and ovate with tiny stlpules.
The plant is cultivated In Sicily and
the south Of France, and in commerce
capers are valued according to the pc
riod at which the buds are gathered
and preserved. The first are the young,
tender buds, called "nonpareil," after
which, gradually increasing In size and
lessenlng In value, come "superfne," I"

Are Diseases lnorennlnn2

There can be no question that the
prevalence Of certain diseases has in
creased during the last half century.
Conspicuous among these are dia-
betes and insomnia. both Of which are
largely due TO the mental stress Of a
harder struggle for existence. The in-
creased consumption Of alcohol and the
free use Of narcotics are also respon-
sible for many morbid conditions un-
known 20 our harder forbears. But.
IN comparing the present prevalence Of
diseases with that Of the past, there
are several factors for which due al
lowance IS often not made. One Of
these is that our forefathers died. as
rule. at considerable younger age
than their descendants; II they did not
perish by the sword they were moved
down from time TO time by the plague
and other devastating epidemics. In
this way they escaped many OF the
diseases. not only Of old age. but OF ad-
vanced middle life. Again. It must not
be forgotten that each generation rep
resented to a much larger extent than
Is now the case the survival Of the 1T
