REMEDIES FOR
RHEUMATISM
Are Many but the Important Thing
Is to Enrich the Blood and
Cleanse The System Of
Rheumatic Poison.

There are many remedies for rhcu-
matism. Most OF them are considered
successful if they relieve the pain and
stiffness. That means temporary
suppression of the symptoms while the
disease remains in the blood to appear
again on the next rainy day.
Mrs. J. w. Rapp, OF r. F. D: No. i,
South Omaha, Neb., says: Several
years ago was sufferer from rheuma-
tism which followed general rundown
condition and exposure to wet and
dampness. The pains started in my
hands, which had sort of pricking SEN
sation like needles were being thrust in
to them. AS the disease grew worse the
joints of my fingers became affected.
They were swollen and were so painful
that could hardly bear it. Gradually
the disease began to affect my limbs in
the same manner They became ter
ribly swollen and I had to give up my
work. The pains then spread all over
my body and were sharp and shooting.
They would suddenly shift from one
part Of the body to another but fortu-
nately did not seem to affect my heart.

 TRAFFFTC IN AMERICA

There seems to be need for a descrip- ton of the white slave traffic in this country, and for some account Of the movement that has arisen for it's sup preSSion, together with a discussion of the methods that may be employed to accomplish that end.
 There are multitudes of parents, teachers and other persons having charge of young people, who are un- aware of the dangers that threaten young women through the adroit agents of this traffic. These need to be informed.
 There are many social workers who should know the facts herein related and have presented to them methods by means of which they may assist in the suppression Of the evil. There are many others who if they knew and understood the facts would movement to prevent the moral and economic loss which the community now sustainS through the operations of the white slave traf1cker

SPICES AS
 REPRESENTATIVES,

The controversy in regard to use Of chemical preservatives may serve to remind us of the Iittle-Valued proper ties of some of the familiar food con ailments. It is a matter of common knowledge that fruits and vegetables prepared with the addition of vinegar and spices keep far better than do those put up alone. One need merely recall the well-havored homemade catsupS and pickles. But something more than the impression of success is necessary to convince the up-to- date food-consumer. He has been trained to demand exact scientific evi- dence for the truth of the most hal lowed traditions of the culinary art. Just what condiments have value as food conservatives has not been con clusively determined. According ko the observations of Hoffmann and Evans on app, p,e-sauce (which they used as material for study), ginger, black pepper and cayenne pepper do not prevent the growth of germs; whereas cinnamon, cloves and mus tard are valuable preservatives, and nutmeg and allspice delay growth. Cinnamon and mustard are particular ly valuable, for they are palatable even when used in proportions that prevent all growth of germs.
 The active antiseptic constituents of mustard, cinnamon and cloves are their aromatic or essential oils. Gin namon appears to possess a preserva- tive action superior to that of benZoic acid, and aids materially in prevent ing the spelling of foods to which the continent is added In view of these experiments The Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association urges the more liberal use of the delicious cin- nanon and cloves in place of such in effective spices as pepper and ginger The latter are commonly irritating, and now that we know condiments which quite surpass them as preser- vatives, the use of the irritating type in preserved foods may appropria tely be restricted to the purposes of flavor alone. It is a lucky coincidence that some of the most attractive havoring spices also help to keep the food from spelling
