CURES RHEUMATISM
WITH SNOW MASSAGE
German Physicians Discovery
Said to Be Effective

a German physician recently an-
nouneed a remarkable discovery which
he had made, namely. the benefits in
the case of rheumatism and neural lgia
which are obtainable from course of
snow massage, says the London Globe.
Doctor Tarkinea of Helsingfors has
taken up Doctor Runners discovery
and he has published some striking
results in affections of rheuma tism and
sciatica. In a dozen cases of the first
malady nine patients were cured, two
alleviated and one only resisted. Eleven
sciatica patients were treated. and of
these eight were cured, one relieved
and on two the treatment had no effect.
Some snow which has just fallen is
collected and with it the spot imme-
diately affected is rubbed. This opera
tion lasts from one to three minutes.
The patient is as quickly as possible
clothed with his under garments and
a process OF dry shampoo s(kneading
and rubbing) takes place outside the
garments. 1t is claimed that the bene-
fetal effect of this treatment manifest IS
itself almost immedia tely. Preference
is given TO snow that has just fallen,
for it has not been contaminated, nor
does it possess a hard crust, such as is
manifest after lying for any time on
the ground. If no snow is about, ice
can be used as substitute, but the
effect is less marked.

PRINCESS BURIED WITH
A DOLL IN HER ARMS
Pathetic Story Illustrated of
Exhibit in Museum

The delight which a little girl some
times experiences in getting hold of q
doll that belonged TO her mother when
she was a little girT-a quaint. china
headed and china haired little crea-
ture, with low neck and short sleeves
and very full ruffied skirts a tama
thing when compared with the feelings
that any girl must experience over a
doll now in the British museum. says
the Pittsburg Gazette. This doll is al
most 5000 years Old
When some archeOlogistS were ex-
pLoring an ancient Egyptian royal tomb
they came upon sarcopha gus contain
ing the mummy of a little princess :
years old. She was dressed and inferred
in a manner befitting her rank, and in
her arms was found little. wooden
doll
The inscription gave the name. rank
and age of the little girl and the date
of her death, but il said nothing about
the quaint little wooden Egyptian doll
This, however. told its own story. It
was so tightly clasped in the arms of
the mummy that it was evident that
the child had died with her beloved
doll in her arms.
The simple pathos of this story has
touched many hearts after thousands
of years. The doll occupies a place in
"A glass case in the British museum. and
there a great many children have gone
to look at it.

In compliance with section 139 of the

MOTHER IN LAW
PLANT A TERROR
Wonderful Product Is Now Be-
ing Raised in Uncle Sans
Botanical Gardens

This reckless and extravagant gov
ernment has wasted money in many
ways and has piled up the burden until
the billion dollar congress is as in
evitable as Uncle joe Cannon, says
the Baltimore News. We made no pro-
test when they spent s25s,OOO to make
nsvigable the upper waters of Bitter
creek, Michigan. when the only thing
that stream could ever float would be
government appropriation. We were 81
lent when they bought a $500 inkstand
for Vice President Fairbanks. We even
kept our peace when the commission
to study the habits of the potato hug
spent the summer and $4,000 in
Europe chasing the bug through the
green fields of Paris and the comic
opera wilds of Vienna.
But there is a limit to the public
patience, and it has been reached. News
cometh that in the Botanic gardens
which the government maintains to
create, propagate and disseminate rare
and valuable plants-that in this insti-
tuition that we men pay our good tax
money TO support-there has been pro-
duced a new specimen known as the
mother in law plant Suffering Moses.
Shall man be pestered forever?
Instead of hanging his head is shame
at such nefarious act the superintend-
ent is proud of his work and proposes
10 make this plant feature of the flora
of America. Though he may arouse the
just Indignation of his country, the su-
perintendent shall be nameless here. as
wa do not care TO see mob of frenzied
men storming the glass doors of the
Bontanic gardens.
This mother i'm law plant is a yeget-
able squelcher. One leaf from the
mother in law plant placed upon the
tongue Will paralyze that organ for
hours say the promoter. That is the
mildest of its dangers. The one thing
to do IS to nip this thing in the bud.
10 stamp il out root and branch.
This is no time for temporizing Let
President Taft take action now and put
the executive ban on this plague that
threatens our fair country Let other
communities quarantine against Wash
ington until satisfied that the mother
in law plant has been exterminated
Thousands OF men who could have
borne marriage and a wife are now
nervous wrecks on account of mothers
in law Thousands of them are already
coWed and shrinking from the gaze of
the grenadier ladies who paralyze them
at a glance. What chance would men
stand if this mother in law plant should
prove as great a terror among the veg
etables as the regular mother in law
does in the animal kingdom? If the
seeds of this new plant should be scat
tered over the land. if everywhere he
went-in the home, in the trolley car
in the theater. on the highway-fr
every yard and garden a mother in law
plant or animal. should spring up-oh.
