Yellow Fever.

EVERY one knows that when a
man has once had yellow fever and
recovered, he never contracts the
disease again no matter how much
he exposes himself to infection,
said DIR. Fred S. Williams, of Ha'
vana, Cuba. "This ability to resist
the minute organisms which cause
the malady is called immunity, and
in tropical countries where yellow
jack Is always present 1t is turned
to profit in various ways.
Thus, during the Spanish-Ameri
can war regiments OF immunes were
enlisted in the South for service in
the fever-ridden country about Santi
ago. Again, during the last epidemic
in New Orleans, many persons pur
posely exposed themselves to infec
ton because the disease prevailed in
a very mild form, and they concluded
that il they were infected they would
quickly recover and would be i'm
mune during severe epidemics in the
future.
Science is making such rapid
strides in the way of discovering
means to steel the human body
against infectious diseases that be
fore many years the most virulent
ailments which are now looked upon
as almost incurable will be within
the control of r7edical SCIENCE

A DETERMINED WOMAN

woman of Salisbury, Mo. "At that
time there was none kept in this
town, but my husband ordered some
from Chicago traveller.
Il had been greatly afflicted with
sudden attacks of cramps, nausea,
and vomiting. Tried all sorts of rem
edies and physicians, but obtained
only temporary relief. AS soon as l
began to use the new food the cramps
disappeared and have never returned.

were little slower to yield, but by
continuing the food, that trouble has
disappeared entirely. ! am to-day

not keep house without Grape-Nuts.
my husband was so delighted with
the benefits I received that he has
been recommending Grape-Nuts to
his customers and has built up very
large trade on the food. He sells
them by the case to many of the lead

A Church in a Rock.

In the quaint old German town of
Oberstein an ancient church stands
built in the great rock rising from
the river The front of the building
Is of stone, but the church itself is
followed out Of the rock and pene-
trates far into it's heart Tradition
says that in the fourteenth century
the Count of Oberstein, one of the
old robber barons, fell deeply in
love with a beautiful young lady, the
daughter of a nsighboring knight.
His brother also sought the fair
maiden's hand and the two suitors
had a violent quarrel The upshot
was that the count flung his hapless
brother from the top of his castle
wall, high up the precipitous cliff.
Repenting Of his awful deed, the
count vowed that he would build a
church where his brothers body first
touched the ground. He did so, ex-
cavating the church in the rock; and
tradition goes on to say miraculous
spring of clear water sprang from
the crag as a token that heaven was
appeased. This curious church is
now the only Protestant place of
worship in the town-Wide World

paper often get confused because they
see such variety, and finally become
so bewildered at the array that a
wrong selection is made. A small
but important hint for the would be
buyer is this: First ask for a dark
green paper, and look at it whether
you want it or mot, simply to focus
the eyes. In a few seconds the sight
will become rested and the varieties
that are produced will look better.
Every now and then turn to the green

To Care For Pianos.

In many households there is not a
piece of furniture that is more sorely
neglected than the piano, and any
one who has studied the construction
of the piano knows that its mechan-
ism is more delicate, intricate and
sensitive than any other musical in
strument 1t is no wonder that it re-
quires a great deal of care when this
is taken into consideration, and suf-
fers severely from neglect. Some
people are of the opinion that they
are treating their piano well when
they have it tuned once or twice each
year, but it should be tuned no less
than four times annually to prevent
loss of pitch, and should be kept at
concert pitch all the time. To raise
or lower it half tone means to spoil
it Immediately.
1t is almost as important to place
the piano we'll as to have it tuned. 1t
should not be put too near the wall,
as this absorbs the tone, and it should
be placed near the inner wall rather
than the outer, to prevent dampness
or cold from affecting it. Dampness
is a stanch enemy of pianos; it rusts
the wires, rots the felt, splits the
hammers and makes the keys stick.
A changing temperature is almost as
dangerous, and too great heat, such
as caused by the proximity Of radia-
tor or fireplace, has also its bad eff
fects. Heavy carpets mufie the
sound, and this is one of the reasons
why music rooms should always have
hardwood floors, and why pianos
should always be placed on little
glass insulators when possible.
A piano should be kept free from
bric-a-brac, pictures and lamps. be-
cause they all tend to make the tone
metallic. So often when note is
tinny or tremulous it is because it is
in sympathetic vibration with some
object on or near the instrument.
When the pedals squeak they should
be creased, and not oiled, or little
talcum powder may be pulled into the
hinges. Broken hammers, If not bad
ly damaged, can be repaired with hot
glue and bound with cord. Broken
worries can be mended with little
household cement. Yellow worries
can be cleaned with alcohol Wash.
