Powerful Effee. of Pure saecharin.

Saccharin should never be taken In
a pure state. Some idea Of its power
will be conveyed when it is understood
that one part Of it will give a very
sweet taste to 10000 parts Of water.
Tasted IN too large a quantity, it acts
upon the nerves In such way as to
paralyze the sense Of taste. just as
powerful music stuns or deadens the
auditory nerves or a bright light acts
upon the optic nerves.

Vegetables As Medicine.

Cranberries are now regarded as
one of the best cures for malaria and
for erysipelas. The best way to take
them incidentally, is raw: the chem
ical properties of the acid are then
complete, whereas in cooking they
are somewhat weakened. There are
two delicious ways of eating cram
berries raw-in a salad and in a bev-
erage. As a salad the largest, ripest
berries are selected. washed and cut
in halves and served on crisp lettuce
leaves with dressing of olive oil g.
lemon juice and egg. As beverage
the cranberries are crushed and left
to soak in water over night The
acid in the water is extremely re-
treshing and cooling to the blood
The cooked cranberries are excel
lent for clearing the system and the
blood and should be eaten in large
quantities.
Onions are one of the most potent
of the vegetables. For nervous trou-
bles they are tonic and should be
eaten in great quantities, either raw
or cooked very simply, and eaten
without any other vegetable. Bak-
ing thoroughly is the best method of
cooking onions when they are to be
used as medicine. They should then
be eaten with butter and a very lit
tie salt. 1t is better to use no salt
at all Cases of nervous prostration
have been cured by n persistent diet
of onions. whole wheat bread and
butter and raw eggs, varied with a
few simple desserts and pineapple
eaten with salt.
Onions also cure sleeplessness

For the Shnnner.

A great deal of time VIII be saved
the shopper and incidentally aftigue
and annoyance to herself and those
who serve her, If she will spend a
few moments before she starts out
only making a list of what she
on her shopping exhibition in not
wants. but of systematizing that list.
Make note of the shops were certain
of things needed will likely be found.
Following this practice does away
with retracing ones steps.
In making purchases, bear In mind
that the person of good breeding is
always courteous, no matter how
trying the circumstances or how
weary she may be- II is no more than
right to realize that others may be
tired, too; the clerk who serves YOU
probably has had many more trying
experiences during the day than
you have.

S
ACTION

Baltimore, 6 pm. Under the
guise of explaining the change in the
vote of the Nebraska delegation,
William j. Bryan got a hearing in
the Democratic national convention
today and he again threw the dele
gates and spectators into a disorderly
upToar. Bryan, who under primary
instructions has been voting for Mr..
Clark, announced that he would not
vote for him again while New York
was included in the Clark column.
He changed his vote to Woodrow
Wilson, but defiantly declared that
he would change again "if Mr.. Muir
ply and "Ryan-Be Belmont" and the
Morgan" crowd should vote for Mr..
Wilson
Bryan was assailed from the floor
by many of the delegates, who de-
manded that his speech be stopped,
and by others who demanded to know
If he would support nominee.
Mr.. Bryan said he expected to
do so, but that he also expected the
convention to nominate a man with
out the support of The Interests"
Bryan was pale and haggard as he
stood on the platform. facing the tu-
multi he had created on the floor be-
low him. He swayed back and forth
and from time to time mopped the
dripping nresp1ration from his fur
rowed brow. With one hand he held
onto the railing in front of him and
with the other he nervously welded
a big palm leaf fan.
When he spoke he had a defiant
glare in his eve. His voice was hus-
ky. Occasionally he would let go his
hold on the railing to shake a warn
ing finger at the delegates.
Mr.. Bryan held the stage for near
ly an hour. 1t was thought to be his
last stand before the convention, but
he declared that if the right man is
nominated he would introduce res
olution authorizing the candidate to
appoint his campaign committee and
not be handicapped by the national
committee on which "the interests
were represented. Bryan's sensational
move was interrupted by the four
teenth ballot.
