Rheumatism Caused
By Dyspepsia
SO Claim Many Eminent Doctors
Upon Recent Scientific Investigation

BNH @ANNNhA
A large school CS physicians which
is constantly increasing, claims that The
eating Of too much animal foods creates
an over supply Of proteids, which are
composed OF carbon. hydrogen nitrogen
oxygen and sulphur. and that when
such prOteids are imperfectly d. gested
and go into the blood they create vast
quantities OF nitrogen which the oxy-
gen from the lungs cannot neutralize
and hence results. uric acid and rheuma-
tism and scores of other diseases.
These Droteids DO not permit the as
similattOn processes 10 take place prop
eriy and poisoning results all through
the blood.
However. If such proteids are perfect
" disested they form a most valua ,,le
part Of our food and are absoIur-.y =
necessary to life.
The fault then rests with the 81 m
ech and the digestive apparatus.
Hence IL is claimed by these latter
day authorities that rheumatism arises
in the stomach or through the stomach
and not IN the kidneys, as some medical
authorities teach.

TO its present low estate because IL has
too long and uniformly managed to get
on the wrong side Of public questions
II has forced issues on matters which
contained no possibilities of success,
and has neglected issues which would
have assured popular support.
It can be said that Senator McCarren
has found many willing and sympa-
thetic listeners among Democrats in
Washington. Most of the Democrats In
Congress were personally opposed 10 the
nomination OF Bryan at Denver. The
absence Of Democrats Of national note
was one of the striking things about
that gathering. Unable TO stem the
tide Of popular demand for Bryan. the
national leaders reluctantly yielded, and
Bryan was named.
The defeat which overwh elmed him
was Just what most Of the leaders had
anticipated
Affords an Issue.
Senator McCarren believes the pend
ing tariff revision affords possibility OF
the Democrats developing an issue on
which they have developed more
strength than any other; the squarsIy
drawn issue OF tariff revision. Closely
related TO this. he points out. is the
question Of the excessive cost Of living
Along these lines he sees the wa5- TO

1t so happened one morning that an
elephant was driven down the road
where they stood, and they asked the
driver to let him stop so that they
might see him.
OF course they could not see him
with their eyes, but they thought thai
by touching him they could learn just
what kind of animal he was.
The first one happened to put bis

The fourth reached out his arms and
grasped one of the elephants legs
"Oh, how blind you are" he said. III

Game Of Sheep and Wolf.


Tear a piece Of paper into as many
pieces as there are players and on each
piece write some number representing
nm hour in the day. AS there are only
twelve hours, there can only be twelve
numbers, but II more than twelve are
playing you can make some OF the
numbers half hours. says McCalPs
Magazine.
On one piece Of paper mark a cross
and then shake all the numbers in a
hat, each player drawing out one. The
one who gets the slip with the cross on
1t Is the wolf" while the other play
ers are called the sheep"
A ring is then formed by the sheep,
the wolf standing In the middle. The
sheep then call out, what time will
you dine tonight, old wolf" and Mr..
Wolf calls out any hour he happens to
think Of
Then the sheep who holds the slip
corresponding to the number called by
the wolf starts to run. II he can get
round the ring three times before being
caught by the wolf, he Is safe; II not,
he must be wolf. The game keeps up
until all have had their turn at being

A Famous Architects Trick.

When Sir Christopher Wrcn was
building the town hall Of Windsor. q
fidgety member OF the corporation. :"
the story goes. insisted that the roof
required further support and desired
the architect to add more pillars In
vain did Sir Christopher assure him
that the danger was imaginary lie
knew better The alarm spread. and
the great architect was worried into
adding the desired columns.
Years passed. and In later times
when architect and patrons were dead
cleaning operations In the roof re-
vealed the fact that the supposed add
tional supports did not touch the root
by two inches, though this was not per
ceptible to the gazers below.
BY this ingenious expedient did Wren
pacify his critics, while vindicat ting his
own architectural skill to future gener'
atoms.

1t came to England from Smyrna in

1t was sent to Alexander Pope, who
planted 1t near his villa at Twicken-

A twig from 1t was brought to Bos-

places. And 1t Is likely that some Of
you have the mistaken notion that the
fly may sting or bite you, but 1t will
not and cannot do either. 1t does not
even catch Its prey with Its mouth,
but with Its claws. Some people call
it the mosquito hawk because II lives
almost entirely on that pestiferOus lit

TOMATOES STUFFED WITH PEAS.
Take medium sized tomatoes. Re-
move the centers, but leave the skins
on Fill each with fresh cooked or
canned peas; season with butter, salt,
pepper. Cover with bread crumbs and
bake twenty minutes In hot oven.
BERRY PUDDING.
Use q small stale loaf of bakers bread
and one quart of blueberries or tart
blackberries; huckleberries have not
enough flavor. Trim of the outer crust,
cut the loaf into thick slices. Warm
deep serving dish. Stew the berries
with a little water and no sugar. When
slightly cooked remove whore they will
keep hot without cooking. Dip q slice
of bread in the hot berries and put into
the serving dish, put layer of berries
on the moistened bread, then repeat I'M
til all the bread and berries are used; If
any juice remains, pour it on top. Cover
with warm dish to retain the heat and
keep warm until served, but do not let
the cover press on the pudding. Serve
with the following sauce: Beat the white
of one egg with pinch of salt, then add
the yolk and beat until we'll mixed. Add
one cup of sugar gradually and beat
till thoroughly blended. Add one table
spoon of hot milk and beat till mixed. 1t
should be uniform mixture, as thick as
molasses. II necessary add another
tablespoon of hot milk, but 1t should not
be 80 thin as an ordinary sauce.
PEPPERS STUFFED WITH CHEESE.
Take green peppers, seed and boil ten
minutes in water In which has been put
a pinch of soda. Fill with grated cheese,
dip in batter and fry in hot lard.
PEACH CoBBLER.
This is unlike the dish that usually
goes by that name. Nearly fill pud-
ding dish with pared whole peaches;
cover with biscuit dough nearly an inch
thick. Set on top of range tightly
covered with pie pan or lid, so that
the crust may cook by the steam from
the fruit. When done TRY with broom
straw, cut a slit in top big enough to
pour in one cup of sugar, one-half cup
of boiling water and two tablespoons Of
butter melted together. Set in oven
until crust is brown. The sugar, water
and butter, together with the peach
Juice, make delicious sauce, no other is
needed. This can be made in winter
with canned fruit.
