Java Rreadfruit.

Jack trees. another name for bread
fruit, grow wild in Java. The trees
are very straight and have trunks ris-
ing to nearly fifty feet. The fruit is
thirty inches long and twelve inches
broad, the weight often reaching 10
pounds. The flesh Of the fruit IS de-
licious. and the oily seeds are eaten
roasted. The wood is beautiful vel
low in color and is hard enough to be
used for furniture and cabinet work.
When struck it gives very clear note;
hence bells are made Of it, and pieces
Of the wood are also used by watch
men on mountains for giving signals.

The theory was advanced by q cor

That is IN accord with the claim which

tainly many Of the most judicious stu

the matter as involved in apparently
hopeless ohscurity.

use Of It Of which we have positive
knowledge OF course, the flag might
have foated over Camp Middlebrook

stories might be true. they refer en-
tirely to its first use in battle. Yet !,
must be observed that there is no act

used at MiGdlebrook. but merely ar

ground that Washington would natur-

New Treatment For Dreaded Disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis. or arthritis
dsformans, a disease which causes in
flammation and stiffenng Of almost
all the joints of the body, has for
many years been regarded as practi-
cally incurahle. Physicians have en-
deavorod to learn the causes Of this
dreaded disease and to find some
method of trea tment by which its vic
tins can be relieved. but so far with
little success. In the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
June II. appears an article by DR..
Philip W. Nathan. OF New York, on n
new and apparently successful treat
merit of arthritis deformans. After
discussing the theories which have
been advanced as to the origin Of this

ments showing the influence which the
removal of the thymus gland had on
the growth of the skeleton. he began
to use the dried thymus gland Of the
calf for the treatment of rheumatoid
arthritis. The thyn2us is a small
gland found in the neck of the calf.
1t is believed to have an influence on
growth and the development of bones.
No immediate benefit resulted from
small doses but long continued adj
