The EVOLUTION
OF God Liver Oil. The Latest
and Most Valuable Form.

Early in the seventeenth century PHYSICIANS
became aware of the fact that til. Gods. liyers
and their oil contained medicinal elements Of
great value in the treatment Of pulmonary.
scrofulous. wasting diseases and chronic rheu-
matism.
In using Cod Liver Oil in its original form they
discovered that the oil. in which the valuable
curative elements were embodied. was very OBJ
jectionable and Of medicinal vnlue How 10
separate extract these medicinal properties of
tie Gods livers from the Objectionable oil was
the question.
After years Of experimenting they produced
three different and distinct kinds Of cod liver
oil. namely, the clear pale. the light brown and
the brown. The clear pale was that which was
first extracted from the Gods livers. The light
brown was obtained ny boiling the lvers after
the clear pale oil had been extracted. and the
brown oil was the result OF pressing the residue.
None OF these products however, were free
from the nauseating oil. and no one OF them con-
tained all OF the medicinal elements known to
exist in tlfe Gods liver. 1t remained for two
eminent French chemists Morsues and Gautier
10 produce the perfect cod liver preparation.
After twenty years of stndy and labor they dis
covered an extractive and concentrating process
which enabled them TO separate from the fresh
Gods livers and their oil all of the medicinal
healing and body building elements. and discard
the oil entirely, and IL is 10y this process that

edded Peptonate Of Iron. which produces Vinol.

FOR TOILET AND BATH

written another book of recipes, the
pure Food Cook Book" 1t is interest
ing to note that in a number of recipes
Mrs. Lincoln has recommended the use

hog fat is often impure and always indi-

HEARST ASKS CHANGE.
Wants Haskell Libel Suit Tried in
Federal Court.

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. "a petition
signed by William R. Hearst before
notary public in New York and ask
ing that the 100000 libel suit filed
recently by Governor Haskell of Okla
homa, against Mr.. Hearst in the state
supreme court of Nebraska, in
Omaha, be transferred to the federal
court was filed here today by j. W.
Battin, Mr. Hearst's local attorney.
The basis of the petition is that as
parties to the suit reside in states
other than Nebraska, the case can not
be tried in a state court. There IS a
legal question involved in this as to
whether such case can be trans
ferred to the federal court
Ed P. Smith, local attorney for
Governor Haskell said today:
Il would rather try the case in a
federal court if 1t has Jurisdiction for
the reason that the state laws of
Nebraska do not allow any punitive
damages and the federal court does
Half the amount we are suing for
100000. represents punitive dam
ages"
In view of this fact it is regarded as
remarkable that Hearst should ask
for the transfer and this action is
taken as indicating his belief that he
will win the case.

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, Glycerine
Etc, Used as a Simple wash.

1t really seems strange that SO many
people suffer year in and year out with
eczema, when it is now no longer a Sc
cret that oil of wintergreen mixed with
thymol. glycerine. ETC., makes a wash
that is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true, cannot
be cured in a few days, but there is alb
solutely no sufferer from eczema who
ever used this simple wash and did not
find Immediately that wonderfully
soothing calm, ccool sensation that
comes when the itch is taken away.
Instantly upon applying few drops of
the wash the remedy takes effect, the
itch is allayed. There is no need OF
experiment-the patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound the oil
of wintergreen. thymol, glycerine, ETC..
in the right proportions ourselves we
are using a prescription which is uni
versally found the most effective. 1t is
known as the D. d. d. Prescription,
or Oil of Wintergreen Compound. 1t is
made. by the d. d. D. Co. of Chicago,
and our long experience with this rem
edy has given us great confidence in
it's merits ~

A Modern Pearl Farm.

In the Gulf of Lower California
there is in operation the largest pearl
farm in the world, where the cultiva-
tom of pearls has been taken UP. as a
practical industry. To harvest the an
nual crop of pearls raised on this
farm requires the labor of 1000 peo-
pie, including the mdoern pearl div
erS, whose methods have been COM
pletely revolutionizeG by the up-to-
date appliances employed in this new
industry.
Pearl farming as originated by the
Mexican company which owns the big
Lower California farm, is the result of
the discovery of a very simple fact
concerning pearl bearing mollusks.
After 25 years of study and expert
ment it was discovered that the shell
loses its gem after 1t is two years old,
and, unless opened at the proper time,
there will be no pearl within. Follow
ing this discovery the system whereby
the shells are cultivated until the
proper time and then opened was de-
vised.
The eggs which are gathered with
shells during the season when the eggs
are being deposited, are placed in pro-
tective cages. in the bottom of which
are little artificial channels, made to
initiate the bottom of the sea. The
utmost care is taken to protect the
young mollusks from their natural enc
mics. When they have arrived at the
proper age they are transferred 10 lar
ger cages, also designed to protect
them. During the transferring the
stock is carefully inspected and all
the dead" or nonbearing shells are
thrown out. The second cages are
placed in deep water and in them the
shells are left to develop for two years,
when the harvest of pearls is ready
to be gathered.
on the model Lower California farm
It has been demonstrated that it is pos
sible to open gently the valytes of the
shell with a pair of tweezers to disclose
the presence or absence of the pearl
and to return the mollusk to the water
alive and uninjured. The usual meth
cd under the old system in addition to
being most uncertain is unnecessarily
destructive In the search for pearls
great quantities of shells are pried
open, an operation that is certain
death to the mollusk within. AT the
Australian pearl fisheries one gem to
the bushel of shells is considered a
good catch,-Chicago News.

Weiched Her Load.

People of all sorts weigh themselves on the Tenny-in-the-slot machines found in public places, but never be- fore had the teller of this story seen anybody weigh on one of them any thing but himself or herself as this weigher, woman, did in a railway station.
 She came in carrying in one hand a huff and in the other box of pol ished oak that was narrow and pro- portionately high and maybe a foot in length. That the box was heavy was shown by the fact that the leath- CT handle had been stretched some what by it's weight.
 And apparently it's present carrier had found it heavy and was curious about it's weight, for now she set the box on the rlatform of one of those weighing machines and dropped a penny in the slot. It weighed ten pounds-certainly a heavy box to carry. That was all she wanted to know-didn't weigh herself; she just picked the box up again, this time with a smile, and went aboard the train.

FOR IVoRY-HANDLED KNIVES.
How They May Be Cleaned Without
 Being Harmed.

Ivory-handled knives may be clean ed in this way; coat the steel with wax or paraffin, and immerse the han dies in a solution of chloride of lime and water, in the proportion of one part of lime to four parts of water.
 Leave the knives in this bath for day, then wash well with warm water and wipe dry. Remove the wax if the bone is perfectly white and free from stains.
 Another way is to dip the handles in a saturated solution of alum and water for from one to three hours, then wash and wipe dry. This latter method is far preferable unless the handles are very much darkened and discolored Polish the blades with putty powder, using buffer wet with alcohol This will not stain the ivory.
