We are accused of being the most

But in the year London has run wild

has, on the other hand. practically

currants Make Good Combination
With Any Of the Smaller
Kinds of Fruit.

Currants combine well with several
of the popular summer berries and
small fruits like cherries. Huckle-
berries, raspberries and blackberries
are each delicious when cooked with
about one-third their bulk of currants.
Currants are sometimes added in a
small quantity to a raspberry or a
huckleberry pie.
Stewed huckleberries make a nice
compete at a country supper on Sun
day evenings, and currants added to it
are often considered an improvement.
For plain huckleberry compete add
a cupful of sugar to every three cup
fuls of berries, and stew them in
barely enough water to keep them
from burning. Currants may be add
ed in any amount preferred. Half and
half makes a good mixture, but a
third of ourrants is also satisfactory.
If two-thirds of currants and cne-third
of huckleberries are used more sugar
will be required.

SCIENCE OF HEALTH
Curing the Rest Habit

ence In the body of some substance
that by its reaction on the nervous syys-
tenn produces the sensation in ques-
ton.
Such, In short, is the plain truth.
Fatigue, or the sense of fatigue, is
caused by the poison, or toxin, of
fatigue, and this toxin of fatigue is
produced by the using up Of certain
materials in muscle and nerve and
other tissues Of the body, just as
smoke and ashes are produced by the
using up of fuel with the evolution of
heat.
But If the sensation Of fatigue is
caused by the presence in the body of
the toxin of fatigue, the body tries to
neutralize this toxin-and actually
does neutralize it-by the production
of an anti-toxin for fatigue. When put
to hard work the body grows tired
after a short time, but presently re-
cuperates, while still at work. A man
gets what we call his second wind "
and this second wind" this refresh
ment of the body, Is due to the quick
production of the anti-to kin in ques-
ton. The body begins to fight this poi
son of fatigue, just as 1t tries to fight
all substances antagonistic to it's per-
feet equilibrium. But push the labor
further, drive the body on continuous
ly in its work, and the toxin Of fatigue
is produced in such large quantities
that it can no longer be conquered by
it's anti. Your man is then dead
tired" and must rest" until the ia
tigue poison can be thoroughly over
come by the accommodating anti-poison,
or anti-body, as it is technically called.
Our German scientist had all these
well known facts In mind when he set
to work on the experiment by which
he hoped to make an anti-toxin for
fatigue which he could administer arti-
ficially, and thus perhaps cure the rest
habit altogether. The experiment and
it's results are interesting
Taking a rabbit-one of those plia-
BILE and accomplishing tools of the
laboratory-and placing 1t in revolv-
ing cage, he made 1t work continuous

WAS SLEEPING WITH A BEAR
Curious Discovery Made by Lumber
man, Whose Camp Bunk Was Roof
of Big Black Bears Den.

When certain Maine lu1abermen one
autumn took possession of the camps
they had occupied the winter before a
man named Jenkinson got one of the
lower berths. He did not sleep well.
Ordinarily the lower berth is as
comfortable as the upper one. The
bottom Of 1t, IS inches from the
ground, is made up of small poles,
which are covered evenly and quite
thickly with fir boughs, and all one
needs over him is a pair of blankets.
In Jenkinson's bed, however, there
seemed to be good many bubbles"
Just outside the camp there stood a
large birch tree. 1t was much agitated
when the wind blew. 1t groaned. So
did Jenkinson He said the root of that
tree ran in under his bed, and that
when the wind blew it would rise up
