WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
If Furred and Coated, it is a
Warning of Trouble to Come.

When it is the morning after the night
before, you do not have to look at your
tongue to know that the stomach is upset,
the head is aching with dull rhythm,
and that all the world looks black and
dreary.
It may have been lobster New burgh,
Welsh rarebit or some OTHER tasty dish
that looked much better at night than
the morning after. There is no need to
look at the tongue thermometer then for
sym ptoms of trouble. You naturally 60

and with one of the little relievers bring
joy and gladness to the physical system.
The real time to watch the tongue is all
of the time. If it is coated with white
fur, or possibly with dark trimmings, even
though the stomach does not tell you by
the acute pains of indigestion that it
needs help. yet the coating shows that
you are getting into bad way and that
there is need of Mi-o-na.
Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, 80 reli-

COPPER POISONING.
rhe Chronic and Acute Phases, Their
Symptoms and Treatment.


Workers in copper miners,
smelters, molders and coppersmiths
are more fortunate than those
who have to do with other metals
lead, for example-in that copper
metallic copper, that is to SAYS
not a very dangerous metal. In
stances of poisoning by it are COM
paratively rare. There have indeed
been cases of copper poisoning, both
acute and chronic, but they are in
frequent, and the symptoms are
mild as compared with those of poi
soning by lead, zinc or arsenic.
The symptoms of acute copper
poisoning, by sulphate of copper,
are those of an irritant of the di-
gestive tract-a metallic taste in
the mouth, nausea and. vomiting,
collie and purging, followed by faint
ing spells, perhaps dellrium and
convulsions.
The best antidotes for copper poi
soning are milk and eggs, either
separately or beaten up together. II
these cannot be obtained at once,
soap may be given. It should be
dissolved in water, but not given
in. the form of frothy suds, the ali
in which would unduly initiate the
stomach. - ss.
In chronic poisoning occurring as
an industrial disease the symptoms
are mild, consisting chiefly in a me-
tallic taste in the mouth, blue line
on the edge Of the gums, some
times liberation and recession OF
the. gums, leading to exposure and
decay of the teeth. The teeth are
often of a green color.
''Brass founders ague" lis prob
ably due more to the poisonous ac-
ton of the zinc than to the copper.
The symptoms consist of a chill,
with .clammy sweating, followed by
nausea and vomiting. The workers
also suffer from more or less bron-
chitis and asthma.
Milk is the accepted remedy for
this condition, but the use of in
spirators by the workmen, ventila-
tion of the shops and strict atten-
ton to personal cleanliness are i'm
perative in the prevention of fur
ther attacks and of chronic poison
ing.
The fumes in smelling works and
emanations from the ashes removed
from the furnaces are dangerous, as
they are charged with oxide Of cop
per and may in time cause symp-
toms of chronic poisoning. -

THE USE or SALT.
Importance Of the Mineral Compound
to the Human Body.

impertanee Of the. Minsral cempeund
to the Human Body. $50.
sSalt assumes the most promi-
nent place in the list of our food
accessories" writes DIR. Andrew
Wilson. "From the most ancient
times man has valued salt as ap-
parently a needful item in his die
tetie substances, and even. lower an
imals exhibit an instinct for salt
such as represents an Unborn erav-
ing arising from dictate Of nature
herself. The history of salt in rela-
ton to the body is itself interesting.
It seems to be a mineral compound
universally distributed throughout
our tissues. It occurs universally in
the living unless salt be specially
supplied. Even the freshest of our
meats contains salt as part and
parcel of its composition. Equally
notable is the fact that salt is found
in the excretions of the body. 1t is
given off in very appreciable quanti-
ty in the perspiration and in other
forms of waste resulting from, our
bodily wear and tear. So important
! constituent. of the blood is salt
that in cases of loss of blood the
surgeon injects into the circulation
solution, of salt and water and
thus contrives to replenish in a Ger
tain. fashion the depleted supply.
s eIn some way or other, as yet i'm
perfectly. understood, salt appears
to- be necessary for maintaining
what we may call the chemical equi-
ibrium of the blood. It is also not
yet clear to us why salt should be
SO freely excreted, but even the
tears contain it, and the salt, salt
tears is phrase for once at least
showing harmony betwixt science
and poesy. Leaving the reason why
aside, it is clear that we demand
salt not only for the maintenance of
the body's normal constituents, but
likewise for the perfect discharge
of many of the functions.
'I believe one of the punishments
inflicted under the old laws of Hol-
land and one regarded as in severity
next to that of death was the keep
ing of a prisoner for certain length
of time on a diet from which all
salt was excluded. The result was
emaciation and death if the depri-
vation was long persisted ina
barbarous punishment truly, but
one which reflected credit, in a
sense, on the physiological knowl-
edge of the trainers of the Dutch
penal code .''-Chicago News.

Spiders Set a Style In Lace Making.


Some 200 years ago missionaries
taught the natives of Paraguay to-
make lace by hand. The art has
been handed down from generation
to generation, and in some of the
towns lace making is the chief oc-
cupation. Almost all the women
and children and many of the men
are engaged in 1t. A singular fact
about Paraguayan laeeslis that the
designs are borrowed from the curi-
.ous webs spun by the semitropical
spiders that abound IN that coun-
try. For this reason the lace is
called by the natives nsnduti;, an
Indian Word that means spider web.
