that common glass was not enough,
because the patient had worn one
This circumstance induced the two
authors to undertake an investiga-
ton to find out how far glass ABB
sorbed the ultraviolet rays. They
found that only those ultraviolet rays
which possess shorter wave-length
than 800 microns are absorbed by the
ordinary lamp and spectacle-lens
The most dangerous ultraviolet
rays are those between 400 and 300
microns wave-length, because 1t is
just these that are easily transmitted
by the ordinary lamp and spectacle
glasses. Among the usual protective
speotacles the blue ones protect least
because they transmit the blue end or
the spectrum best. The smoke glasses
weaken these rays as well as the vis-
ible spectrum, but they do not extin-
guish them. They decomposed
the light of all artificial sources OF
light, from the candle to the latest
electric light, by means of a quartz
spectro-photograph and thus deter
mined how many ultraviolet rays each
light contained. They came to the
conclusion that our artificial lights
with increasing intensities, especially
temperatures, gradually have become
richer In ultraviolet rays. They have
endeavored to find glass which
would absorb the ultraviolet rays to a
high degree, and they believe that
they have produced one that will an
ewer all purposes and which will soon
be on the market"

ALMOST A SHADOW.
Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be-
tween food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest it. 1t is
not really food to the system until
it is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
says:
II had been sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit of
food such as | then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
Il lost flesh until l was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me-
First l dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts
although I had little faith it would do
me any good
But continued to use the food and
have gained twenty pounds in weight
and feel like another person in every
way. | feel as if life had truly begun
anew for me.
Il can eat anything like now in
moderation, suffer no i'll effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring l have been able to do it myself
all alone.
MY breakfast is simply Grape Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and piece of toast.

HURTS THE EYES.
Erect Of Electric Arc Light Some
times Is Injurious.

That inflammation of the eyes,
sometimes caused by the electric are

rays was asserted by DR.. Schanz and
DIR. Stockhausen in discussion at
the Congress of German Naturalists
and Physicians last autumn at Dres-
den. Says the Druggists Circular:
"It had been proved that the short
est of these rays do not extend very
far from the light, but as those with
waves longer than 212 micromillime-
ters still extend 30 feet and more from
the arc before they are absorbed by
the air It is evident that these actin
ic rays, which begin with the wave
length of about $50 micromillimeters,
are of considerable practicable impor-
tance to all those who have to work
at or near arc lights. Hitherto 1t has
been thought that a plate of glass be-
fore the eye was sufficient protection
from these ultraviolet rays, but tho

GOOD CAUSE FOR WRATH.
Art Collector and ilrritated Waiter
Had the Same Feelings.

A Chicago art dealer was talking
about the wrath of William T. Evans,
the New York collector upon whom
so many bogus paintings have been
imposed
He's awfully angry" said the art
dealer, repressing a smile. Some of
his costliest pictures, you know, have
turned out fakes. His blood boils
when he thinks of the way he has
been duped.
He told me the other day that he
could hardly understand the rage that
possessed him against every petty lit
tie Insignificant dealer that had cheat
ed him. He said it was like the rage
of waiter that he had noted one
afternoon at luncheon.
AT luncheon, Mr.. Evans said, he
called his walters attention to a dead
fly in some dish or other.
"The waiter as he took the dish
away, muttered with a malevolent
look at the limp insect:
"Td give two-dollar bill if I knew
for certain that this was the fly that's
been buzzing about my nose all the
morning." ....

Congressman Longworth, at din

tics.
Honest politics alone pays in the

tician comes out like Lurgan of Gin

"'Good morning. he said. I may

"'Why, no, Mr.. Lurgan,' said the
grocer. I've promised my support to
your rival
"Lurgan laughed easily.
"'Ah, but, in politics, said he,

In that case said the grocer,

smoke or read. A current adapted to
his physical condition is turned on,
and, though his body coruscates with
blue spark fire, he is conscious of no
bodily suffering. About half an hour

The usual treatment is of six baths,
after which the patient goes forth with
a rejuvenated system.
The hardening of the arteries, ac-
cording to Metchnikoff, is due in the
first instance to the coating of the
walls of the channels, itself due to
minute hard substances to be found in
the uric acid, which we all carry in
our system in a more or less degree.
If the hardening of the artery walls be
not due to the uric acid deposits It
may arise from the stimulating of en-
ergy by intoxicants, or by the drink
ing of too much mineral water.
The homeopathic idea enters into
the MetchnikoVian treatment The
Russian argues that the acids of his
sour milk wholly neutralize the artery
deposits due TO other causes, and that
the essential fatty matter In the milk
provides a permanent reconstruction
of the worn tissue of the arteries.
IL is worthy Of note that Metchni-
kof's sour milk theory has a strong
supporter in Thomas A. Edison. the
greatest living electrician.

Astonished Great Pianist.

both sexes, and that this remedy's
name is electricity.
Electricity, these French doctors de-
clare. is the only specific capable d
renewing youth. The decay of youth.
as is well known, really arises from
hardening of the blood vessels, and to
such an extent that circulation is i'm
peded and congestion Of the arteries
takes place What is facetiously
known as that tired feeling" frequent
ly amounts in full-arown adults to
nothing less than the fact that the
"pipe-stem artery" has begun to make
its appearance, and that the organic
centers of the body are not properly
supplied with their due provisioning of
blood and viscous matter.
In the case Of elderly persons this
hardening Of the arterial system is
more or less normal. In the case Of
young people it is less easily ex-
plicable. though in all probability It
is due to early hardship, insufficient
food, dram drinking or the practice of
"bolting" ones meals. In any case
hardening of the arteries is nothing
more than the decay of the body or
the approach of death, and some med
lean scientists now declare that elec-
tricity is the counteractive which is
demonstrably capable of rejuvenating
these affected by "plpe-stem arteries"
or, in other words, of staving off their
demise.

Potato SouHle,


This is an elaborate, troublesome
way to prepare potatoes, but for COM
pany, when expense is more to be con-
sidered than time, it is well worth
the trouble. The potatoes served this
way take the place of side dish. Boil
four large, mealy potatoes; pass them
through the sieve. Now scald a half
cup sweet milk and a tablespoon of
butter and add to the potato with
little salt and pepper; then beat all to
q cream. Add, one at time, the yolks
of three eggs; then the whites, first
putting in a pinch of salt to make
them lighter. Add these last, and beat
slightly. Place all in a large baking
dish $50 it will not run over the top),
and bake 30 minutes in a quick oven.
1t must be served in the same dish in
which it was baked.
A Few Timely Tips.
If the milk used for pudding is rich,
any fiavoring, lemon, perhaps, may be
used, but remember that if the milk is
poor the only wise flavoring is va
nilla; it will make the milk seem
richer.
Open the can of fruit or vegetable
at least half an hour before using; the
oxygen renews the flavor.
This same prinsiple applies to water
that has been boiled for drinking pur-
poses; lack of oxygen makes it taste
fiat. This can be overcome by stirring
the water with an egg beater, thus re-
storing the air
