RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE THIS SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.


A we'll known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers Of large New
York daily paper the following valua-
BILE, yet simple and harmless prescrip-
ton, which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; /;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the Ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being a
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken regu-
larly for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of Rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without irjuring the
stomach. While there are many So
called Rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, etc., some Of which do give
relief, few really give permanent re-
suits, and the above will, no doubt, be
greatly appreciated py many sufferers
here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores Of even the
small towns elicits the information that
these drugs are harmless and can be
bought separately, or the druggists will
mix the prescription If asked to.

Borax Natures Disinfectant. Cleanser and Purifier
Everyone realizes the necessity of some

Health is a question of cleanliness and

disinfectants in cir ordinary sense-a
of which are either unpl asantly associated
with disagreeable odors on which are de

WAYS OF TRAPPING ANIMALS.

Elephants Easily Captured, but II
Takes Booze to Get Monkeys.
elephants are easily trapped" said
a zoo keeper, very easily trapped and
very easily tanned. The trapper chooses
spot popular with elephants and digs
a hole five feet deep and twenty feet
square. He surrounds this hole with a
high board fence except in one place,
where he hangs swing gate. Next he
finds a herd of elephants. chooses the
animal he wants, maddens 1t and
makes it chase him. The man tears
along on his nag. The elephant thun-
ders along close after and just at the
gateway the man swerves to the right,
but the elephant too heavy to swerve,
bangs right on through into the hole
Hes mad at first-terribly mad.
But they give him no food nor drink,
they build around the pit fires of damp
wood that almost suffocate him with
smoke and they daze and stupefy him
with shouts and bangings Of brass pans
The elephant is completely broken and
subdued In three or four days. He
comes forth and follows the trapper
humbly and tlmidly with tears in his
eyes.
Monkeys are trapped with-what do
you think?-booze. You rush in among
a flock of them and they take to the
trees, chattering and watchful. You
pull out some bottles of strong, sweet
booze, pretend to drink, then lay the
bottles down and go away. On your
return an hour later the floor of the
jungle is strewn with bodies of drunk
en- monkeys and, of course, it's easy
then to pick them up. Giraffes are the
most difficult animals to trap. They
are caught with lassos, bolos or ratatas
a kind of net. The only animal impos-
sible to trap Is the gorilla. He is too
strong and fierce. New York Press

Yes, indeed, o'clock will suit me
exactly as we'll, Mr.. Harvey-If you
children don't shut up, you'll be sorry
in a minute!"
The two sentences, one in the gay,
sweet voice he knew so well, the other
sharp with anger, reached the young
man at the telephone with nearly equal
clearness. He had always thought ose
Jessup's voice one of her greatest
charms, and had smiled to himself to

might bring his sleigh round at
O'Clock instead of 8. And then that
sudden bewildering revelation.
Busy as he was, Jack Harvey stood
for many minutes staring blankly down
into the street beneath his window.
His mother and sisters had never liked
Rose, but he had taken the matter
lightly, saying that they must love her
when they knew her, and pretty soon
that was as far as he had gone yet
Now standing at his window in be-

Two hours later Rose was flying

knew that people were taking things
for granted, and the consciousness o.

ANIMALS WITH NO THIRST.
Others Besides the Camel Exist for
Long Periods without Water.


Long Periods without Water.
From childhood picture book days
nearly everyone has cherished the idea
that the camel was the beast above all
others that could exist for extended
periods without drinking. And so few
have any idea that there are other
beasts Of the earth quite as capable as
the bumped quadruped of going for
days and weeks without water.
Sheep in the northwestern deserts 90
from forty to sixty days in winter
without drink, grazing on the green,
succulent vegetation of that season.
Peccaries in the desert of Sonora live
In little dry hills where there is no
natural water for long periods. They
can not possibly find water, in fact,
for months at time The only mois.
ture they can obtain comes from roots
and the fruits of cacti.
But the most extraordinary case Is
that Of the pocket mouse one of the
common rodents of the desert. This
little creature, by the way, has genu-
Inc fur-lined pocket on the outside Of
Its cheek. When it Is hungry it takes
food from this pocket with its paw
just as a man would pull sandwich
from his pocket.
1t is said that one of these mice has
been kept for three years with no other
food than the mixed bird seed of COM
merce. During this period it had not
a taste of either water or green food.
Other experiments in this direction
have shown, in fact, that these mice in
captivity refuse such treats, not SEEM
Ing to know that water is good to
drink. The bird seed put before the
mouse referred to contained not more
than 10 per cent Of moisture, which
Is less than Is necessary for digestion.
Stuff so dry as this can not even be
swallowed until it Is moistened by
saliva, yet this remarkable mouse gave
nothing but his time to the interests
of science. He suffered nothing In
health or spirits during his captivity.
