MEDICINES OF THE GARDEN
Vegetables Which Are COrIectlves
OF Many Human Ills.

Every vegetable garden is
medicine chest full of remedies
that are recognized by physicians as
of considerable value in the treat
mens of various diseases. Onions,
for example, contain sulphur oil and
are recommended for insomnia ,and
as an aid 20 gastric digestion. They
should have a prominent place in
the diet of sufferers from rheuma-
tism, for they help to allay the
pains.
Turnips and parsnips both have
peculiar oily principles which are OF
value as an aper;ent and dluratlc.
It is also claimed that they are
good for coughs and hoarseness-
Potatoes contain solanin, which
has certain diuretic properties
The sulphur compound which 1t
contains makes cabbage excellent in
cases of scurvy and scrofula..
Spinach has iron in organic form
and is used as a laxative on &C
count of it's fine digestible fibre.
Carrots are useful for correcting
arrangements of the liver. They
are also excellent as a dressing for
painful wounds and swellings..
The tomato exercises medicinal
effects which are not completely ex-
plained by the presenc of alkaline
salts. There is a principle present
which when taken in concentrated
state produces salvation and free
stimulation of the liver.

 TEACHING OF SEX HYGIENE IN SCHOOLS

St. Paul, Minn., July S.-The teaching of sex hygiene never will be delegated to the American teacher if 1t can be prevented by the National Education as- sociation. This was evidenced at todays session when speaker after speaker de- nounced such a course and found them- selves greeted with ringing applause.
 We should have but the strongest con demnation for the wealthy, club-going woman who has not time to teach her child fundamental truths of life and would throw the responsibility on a teacher or football coach" shouted Dr. Charles H. Keene of Minneapolis. super- visor of hygiene and physical training. Such shiftlessness Is outrageous"
 When the tumultous cheering had sub- sided he went on:
 Sex instruction placed on the same plane with spelling and arithmetic will rob it of all its sacredness.
 We talk about the inability of the poorer mothers to teach their children personal hygiene. but 1t is not for these children that we need to have all the fear
 Knowledge never will compel purity. Sex instruction in schools will but tend to lower the standard of morality
 If we take up sex hygiene in our schools the homes of America will con- tinue to lose ground, and will give up the few privileges they now have to train the children"

 CREW THOUGHT LOST

Ottawa, Ont, July Slight members of the Stefansson Arctic expedition who were believed to be on Wrangle Island, off the coast of Alaska, with more of the Karluk's parry, which was reported safe over a month ago, are now thought to be lost, according to a news report re- ceived today by Deputy Minister of Ma rine Des Barrats from Captain Bartlett in Nome. Bartlett commanded the Kar- lux.
 The previous report from which it was inferred that the whole party had reached Wrangle Island neglected to mention two parties of four, which set away 10 days after the Karluk sank One headed for Herald Island an the other for an unknown shore.
 Neither of these parties had been heard frcm. The supporting party which ac- companied the first party returned and reported that progress had been stopped by open water three miles from shore
 Four men were left with provisions on the edge of the ice waiting for a chance to land. That was the last heard from them.

 BY SPILLED FLOUR

Following the white trail Captain T. J. Shirley and Sergeant Pete Newman with Officers Williams and Moore captured Will Campbell and Raymond Walker, two negroes, at First avenue and Sixteenth street and placed them in the city jail on charges of burglary and grand lar ceny at 2:30 o'clock this morning. The arrest of the negroes came in connection with the robbery of a freight car loaded with flour at Morris avenue and Eight eenth street about 2 o'clock
 According to the police report someone telephoned that negroes were stealing flour in the railroad yards at Morris ave- nue and Eighteenth street and Captain Shirley and Sergeant Newman at once hastened to the scene. There they saw the seals of the car broken and a trail of flour on the ground where negroes had carried away some sacks. The officers determined to following the flour trail wherever 1t led and on the run with their electric lights flashing the officers kept to the indistinct marks of flour on the sidewalk and road. Their efforts were rewarded by coming suddenly upon two negroes with the flour sacks at Sixteenth street and First avenue. The negroes surrendered without resstence.
