Tho uhinuitous Tin Can.

The ubiquitous American tin can Is
proving In Its way kind Of universal
civilizer, since Il Is found doing duty
for variety Of purposes in almost
every country on the face OF the earth.
In japan tomato cans are utilized as
fowerpots, in China salmon cans are
used as soup ladies'. and in the Hima-
layas painted tin cans serve as head
dresses for idols. South sea bellies use
tin cans as hand mirrors. while Phta-
gonian chiefs wear them suspended
about their necks as ornaments. The
Eskimos use peach cans for bird traps
the bright flashing Of the tin on the
top Of pole attracting the curiosity Of
the birds so that they are induced to
fly close to the hunters. A queer sort
of drum was found by one explorer In
the TERRA del Fuego islands made out
of tin cans. In Turkey oil cans are
commonly used In the place Of pals
to carry water. or, battered out, are
employed for sheathing on huts. Tin
plate has been manufactured in Amer
lea since 1892, and tin cans have been
made for longer period. This indus
try is now one Of the most important
in the world Every month America
makes enough tin cans to belt the

That the readers of this paper ap-

fact that the one well-known local

two weeks. Most of these folks nat
urally bought the ingredients only and

ment Of this simple, harmless mixture
has certainly accomplished much in
reducing the great many cases Of kid

relieving pain and misery, especially
among the older population, who are
always suffering more or less with
bladder and urinary troubles, back
ache and particularly rheumatism.

us to continue the announcement of
