MEDICAL VALUE OF SPICES
They Arouse tho Appetite and Pro-
mote the Secretion Of the Gas
trio Juice.

Tho spices are q very interesting
group Of substances; they are the
foundation of considerable industry,
they have their medical uses and final.
~ arc of special Importance in dietet-
les.
Their vaiue resides in their richness
in aromatic substances and essential
oils; strictly speaking, they are not
foods, but often enough they are es-
sential elements in the diet. Spices
have been the subject of classic re-
search, as, for example, in the clover
and important investigation which
Pawlow undertook as to the psychic
Influences OF food and as to the value
OF zest In nutrition.
Spices were shown to arouse appe-
tite and to promote the secretion of
the gastric juice, and the role they
play therefore in dieteties Is a very
important one. The medicinal action
OF some of them is further of value.
Allspice, for example, is used as an
aromatic and has been successfully ad-
ministered for fatulency or for over
coming gripping due to purgatives, and
occasionally 1t is reported that the oil
gives relief in rheumatism and neural
gia.
The medical uses of cinnamon are
well known. Cardamoms are used in
the form of tincture as aromatic and
stomachic and they are also employed
as fiavoring agent in curry powder,
cakes and Iiqueurs. The applications
OF capsicum and the peppers general
ly are well known. Cloves are aro-
matte, carminative and stimulant and
have been used in dyspepsia, gastric
irritation and in cases Of vomiting in
pregnancy.
Oil Of cloves is also a popular rem
edy for toothache. 1t has also its uses
In microscopy as a preservative and
for clearing sections. The uses Of
nutmeg are wide, vanilla has an enor-
nous application as a flavoring pat
ronage on account of It's bright yellow
color and pleasant musky flavor

SPEAKING AS A FINE ART
Many Men Who Attempt to Address
Audiences Cannot Mako Them
selves Heard.

Speaking Is one Of those arts which
people seem to think It unnecessary to
study and learn, and the probability il
that most speakers Of the kind men
TONED are. biissfully unaware OF their
lnaudibility. Doubtless their voice re-
sounds comfortably In tho empty
spaces Of their own chest and head,
and this prevents them from knowing
that It does not penetrate to the audi
tory apparatus Of other people.
To be lecturer, 1t is not only neo-
essarly to know your subject, but the
art OF enunciation and audible delivery
needs to be learned also. And the
sound Of ones voice In ones own
ears is most misleading guide. Such
people ought to be trained by being
made to read or speak from one end
OF large room to somebody Mt the
other end; when they would soon find
out that tones which pass muster In a
conversation are useless In q public
speech
In conversation we carelessly slur
half our syllables, leaving our inter
locutor to guess them from the con-
text, but this will not do In q public
speech, where people are too far OF

THREE BUILDERS OF NATIONS
cavour, William the Silent and George
Washington Never Yielded to
Despotic Ideals.

AS Matchmaker Cavour stands
with William the Silent and George
Washington. Each of these men
fought through the agony Of war of
liberation, yet never yielded for mo-
ment to the militarist or despotic
ideals so liable to be bred in time of
crisis; each loved free institutions
with his whole heart; each could have
said as truly as William the Silent, It
was always on the side of the people,"
yet each avoided the special faults of
the demagogue as completely as Well
1ngton or Peel; each planted justice
and mercy amid the chaos of wrath
and revolution; each kept an heroic
equanimity of temper toward all their
supporters, even toward the foolish
and the fa.se who babe fair to ruin
their work; finally, each died leaving
as his handiwork a nation whose ey-
cry merit is symbolized in the life Of
the man who made 1t, whose every de-
feet is due to the tradition which he
started being too lofty for imita-
ton. II Americans can boast that
America is more true to the traditions
of Washington than Italy is true to
the traditions of Cavour, they may be
sure that their country is reaping the
benefit in due proportion. Measures
and policies and constitutions must
change with changing time, but the
spirit that inspires just policy is the
same in the eighteenth, the nine
teenth, and the twentieth centuries
