might SWEATS" A WARNING
Proof Of Disorder In the Allmentary
Canal, According TO John Nelson
Goltra, A. M, Nj. o.

The might sweats" which come on
some times in the early stages OF con-
sumption are due. not to the presence
OF the tubercle bacilli in the lungs.
but to the absorption OF poisons from
the disordered alimentary canal
The proofs OF this statement are,
first. that the night sweats sometimes
occur when there is no other evidence
OF tuberculous infection, and secondly.
that when the intestinal tract is thor
oughly purified the night sweats will
invariably stop. II after that the
strength is carefully conserved, and
good fresh air is admitted to the
lungs night and day, and a wholesome
and varied diet containing only small
proportions of proteids Qean meat.
white OF egg and cheese), but plenty
of starches and sugars, and moder-
ate amount of fats is supplied. the
person will go on slowly to overcome
the disease and get well.
But If, as usually happens, unfortu-
nately, the digestive errors are not
corrected. the sweating and the vast
ing OF the body go on. In later
stages both these are increased by the
poisoning from the lungs. and by in
sufficient aeration OF the blood.

Washington's Coat-of-Arms

Regarding the Washington coatof-arms some
odd discoveries have come to light. Quite con-
trary to our American belief the Washington
shield does not contain stars and stripes, not
withstandng that more than thousand books
and as many more published articles proclaim
It, The facts that the Washington shield
contain bars and mullets (spurs Of the knight s
boots.)" The earliest reference which | have
been able TO find which announces the Washing
ton shield blazoned with stars and stripes relates
to public banquet at Baltimore Md. in 1851,
where the ideas Of an English poet--Martin Tup-
per by name-were voiced proclaimng that the
American flag, with it's heraldic notions was Dor
rowed from the Washington shield which possess
ed stars and stripes. Ever since this banquet
American authors and orators have without fur
Their investigation, accepted the statement as
correct. The English poet was misled by his
fervid fancy. for the Herads' college at London.
the highest authority on British heradry writes
follows:
"A Washington shield with stars and stripes
(pales) has never been of record"
1t is altogether probable that Upper, as well
others, was deceived by the shape of the
"mullets." These spurs. as worn by the knights
of old. were round in form. resembling modern
cog-wheels somewhat. and their bristling points
possibly suggested the stars" Of which Upper
spoke.

main. On the other hand George Washington
In later life, the leading official of new re-
public and the founder OF a new capital had
thrust upon him innumerable questions of archi-
tectural policy and selection which, perforce,
requisitioned all his ability in this line
That Washington should have developed such
ability a practical and consulting architect is
by no means strange when we take into account
MS early experience as a surveyor. This occupa-
ton which he followed during much of his young
manhood gave him splendid judgment as to the
relative qualifications of sites for both private
and public buildings, and his discernment was re-
nected in the advice he gave as to the sites for
the public buildings at the national capital and
the character of the buildings to be erected
thereon
According to tradition, George Washington,
seated on the Yeranda of elevated country
house, with the panorama Of the present District
OF Columbia spread out before him, chose what is
now known as Capitol Hill the site Of the iegts-
lative headquarters of the government. He also
not only chose the site of the White House or
Presidential Mansion, but personally conducted
the negotiations for the purchase OF the needed
land. The work of actually designing the varf-
GUS public buildings and laying out the streets and
parks of the new Federal City was left by Wash
ington in other hands. but up to the time OF his
last illness he exercised general supervision Of
all creative work and his architectural ideas
embodied in most of the plans drawn.
But while Washington acted as consulting arch
itect with reference to many of our most notable
public buildings he was actually and directly re-
sponsible for the plans of many private resi-
dences and these are consequently of even great
er interest than the public buildings as evidence
Of his architectural ideals The structures are To-

Washington to assume responsible

China garments OF catskin rank as high

Land cats flesh is also much eaten
and Is especially recommended as a
cure for consumption and all lung dis
eases. 1t is vastly superior to cod liver

cats provide the best meat, and in a

FRENCH KID SKINS.
Why tho Young Animals Are Not Per-
nnitted to Eat Grass.

The raising OF kids for their skins is
nm important industry among the
French mountaineers. Softness. deli.
cacy OF texture and freedom from
blemish are principal factors in the
value OF kid skins. and to secure these
essentials great pains are taken.
AS soon as the young animal begins
TO eat grass the value of its skin de
clnes. for with a grass diet the kids
skin Immediately becomes coarser and
harder in texture, and It's chief merit
thus vanishes. Ii Is, therefore. kept
closely penned, not only to keep IT
from eating grass, but also to protect
its valuable skin against accidental in
Jurles that might impair its market
ability.
When the kids have attained a GER
tain age at which the skins are In the
best condition for the use Of the glover
they are killed and the hides are sold
10 dealers.
The superior quality Of these kid
skins. due somewhat TO climatic con
ditions, Is what has given France the
supremacy In the manufacture Of the
finest grades OF real kid gloves, su-
premacy that will doubtless long be
lnasmuch as foreign man.
