Early Protest Against Tea.

The introduction of tea into Eu-
ropean communities met with con-
siderable protest. In Germany tea
dealers were considered immoral,
and many pamphlets were publish
ed condemning the use of tea in
any form. Tea was first brought to
England from Holland in 1866.
Soon the drinking of it became
fashionable in London, and a pound
of the leaves sold for 60 shillings.
Thomas Garway was the first deal
er in tea in England. He recon-
mended it as cure for all disorders
and sold great quantities Of it at a
large profit. Records show that tea
has at times been sold in England
for as much as s10 a pound.

chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are in the
States where SCHNAPPS has not
vet been offered to the trade.
SCEINAPPS is like a cup Of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. sCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not fnd a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, stm-
ulating flavor so appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than

for tobacco s sake, there is no chew

tute, and many name their wives,
daughters, or other members of their
families for this place. The depart
ment encourages such appointments,
of some one living in the same house
with the carrier, because ii the regu-
lar carrier is sick or unable to serve
his route there is some one in the
same house to act as substitute and he
is not obliged to send out and notify
his substitute that he must serve the
mails that day.
When woman has served six
months as substitute, that is, as a
bonded substitute, she will be eligible
to appointment as regular carrier, and
should there be vacancy the depart
ment will give her the preference for
appointment as regular carrier in the
rural service.
While the regulations of the postal
service make no specific provisions
cities, there is provision which has
the effect of barring them from these
positions. A uniform which must be
worn by city carriers, consisting of
coat and trousers and cap of certain
color, is prescribed, and no woman has
been brave enough to make applica-
ton in the face of this.
The records of the department show
that the women carriers in the rural
free delivery service have made most
excellent officers. They have shown
pluck, perseverance and ability to per-
form their duties in all sorts of wealth
er, and some of them hold higher rec
ords for efficiency than hundreds of
men in the service.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such a woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is a displacement, Inflammation
orulceration of the abdominal organs,
female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
cuperating therefrom it is most eff
cient. 1t carries a woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be a good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
Pa, writes
Dear Mrs Pinkham-

Surgeon General Rixey has, there
fore, worked out the details of a plan
for the organization of corps of
trained nurses, such as the army has.
Afioat these nurses will necessarily
be men, but in the navy hospitals
ashore, where the more difficult, lin
gering and dangerous cases are treat
ed, women nurses will be employed.
For $4,000 Admiral Rixey feels that
he can make respectable beginning
in the organization of such a corps,
and he is seeking support from the
secretary of the navy and the presi-
dent in securing the necessary ap-
preparations by congress.
The first official suggestion of the
employment of women in the project
ed naval nurse corps was preached
by the surgeon general in an address
delivered by him on the occasion of
the graduation of the nurses class at

DON'T CHEW YOUR MEAT,
SAYS CHEMIST WILEY

that the carnivorous animals do not
chew their food. They tear it from
the bones and swallow it in chunks.
Therefore the learned chief chemist
holds that If man can get chunk
of meat down into his stomach, no
matter how big it may be, he has
done all that nature requires of him.
"Mastication is good for the devel-
opment of the muscles" says DR..
Wiley, "but chewing of meat is I'M
necessary, If not positively harmful.
With vegetables, however, it is impos-
sible to do too much grinding. Every.
body knows, or ought to know, that
all the digestion of vegetables is ac-
complished in the mouth and small in
testines. If there is not enough mas
tication the work cannot be done aft
erward.
"But Fisher is faddist; all of us
are bit afflicted in that way. He is
trying to make over man so that he
will not eat. He ought to know bet
ter than that"

MANY PETTICOATS AMONG
RURAL MAIL CARRIERS

VIZ ASHlNGTON.-B from be-
w coming letter carriers by a tech
nicality in the postal regulations,
women are rapidly invading the ranks
of the rural carriers, where there are
no restrictions against them. An ex-
animation of the records of the post
office department shows that there
are 257 carriers in the rural commune
ties who are women, and 1000 substi-
tute carriers are of the same sex. This
would not be very significant show
ing were it not for the fact that the
advent of women in this capacity is a
comparatively recent innovation. For
several years after the service was
established it was not contemplated
by post Office officials that the posi-
ton of carrier was one which would
be sought by members of the weaker
sex. But somehow they crept in;
gushing them from men except by
their names as they appeared on the
applications, and this, it was found, is
no criterion.
Who was the first woman rural car
rier is something that is unknown by
the post office department. Several
have claimed that honor Women were
delivering mail matter in the farming
communities for Uncle Sam long be-
fore his officials who have charge of
that branch of the postal service knew

nON'T chew meat. Gulp it

nON'T chew meat. Gulp it in
~ chunks.
Mastication has no part in the di-
gestion of meat. There is some reason
for believing that chewing will make
meat indigestible. The saliva is an
alkali. Acids are needed for the con-
version of flesh into the elements that
nourish the human body.
Too much chewing may raise the
alkalinity of flesh used for food to
such an extent as to seriously ham,
per the work of the stomach, which,
alone, has to do with the disposal
of animal matter.
This, in brief, is the gospel of DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist of
the department of agriculture. His
views were called forth by a report
by Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale on
the relative value Of animal and vege-
table foods.

~ pairing to make a strong appeal to

lean navy is without a single trained
nurse. No matter how severe the ill
ness of the officers and sailors, nor
how grave the injury or wound re-
ceived in the line of duty, the Amer
lean bluejacket must rely for his care
