NUTMEG AS A PR0PHYLACTIC
Many EngIishmen Are Taking Up an
Ancient Old American Rheu-
matism Preventive.

London-An extraordinary alleged
"cure" for rheumatism is being talked
of here. The cult of nutmeg carrying
as a sort of charm against the disease
has increased rapidly of late
For good many years." writes a
clubman to the Daily Mirror, "a few
people have been carrying nutmegs as
a kind of protection against rheuma-
tism, and now many others are follow
ing their example. Consequently there
has been an increased demand for
nutmegs, although the price of them
has not gone up so far. Those who
have adopted the cult declare that,
however severely they suffered from
rheumatism before, all traces of the
trouble ceased as soon as they began
to wear the CHARM and that they new
er have any recurrence of the COM
plant SO long as they continue to car
ry a nutmeg on their person. Some
have the nut attached to the watch
chain by gold clasp and keep it con-
stantly in the watch pocket; others in
neat leather receptacles, which are be-
ing made for this express purpose by
up-to-date Bond street shops.
"Women-and there are many who
have caught the nutmeg-wearing craze
often have the aromatic charm fixed
in a gold or platinum claw and sus-
pended by 2 light chain from the waist
or garter"
Church of England dignitary who
has worn nutmeg for many years,
| said that the belief in the efficiency of
the nut to cure and prevent rheuma-
tism was no mere superstition. He at
tributed it's power to the carminative
properties of the oils contained in the
| kernel-properties which from time
immemorial have been known to the
natives Of the Banda islands, whence
come 1utmegs.
| a London doctor was very Skeptlca l..
at is evidently an Old fetish revived"
he said. 1t is absurd to imagine that
by carrying a nutmeg you can ward
off rheumatism. You might as we'll
carry a stone and put your belief in
that. Still the nutmeg has certain
properties as an antidote to rheuma-
tiSm. Mixed with rum, its essential
oils make lininent that have known
used with success in what is called
tropical sore throat-a form of tropical
rheumatism"
The representative of firm of spice
merchants said that he had heard of
the belief in the nutmeg ''antidote -
LAS q matter of fact" he said, "a
leading member of our firm carries a
nutmeg about with him and swears by
it as a 'warder-off' of rheumatism.1
No New Highlander needs to be re-
minded that the nutmeg as a rheuma.
tism prophylactic has been venerated
for centuries in the Eastern United
States.

ONE OF FREAKS OF NATURE
Catalepsy Instead of Slumber
During Daylight Hours.

London.-Professor Schmidt of the
Imperial university of ST. Petersburg
has been experimenting with a spe-
cies of Phasmid, or ''stick-insect" AS
a result Of his investigations he has
discovered that these insects pass
daily into state of catalepsy, or
trance, and that they do not merely
slumber, or remain instinctively quiz
escent. during the hours of daylight,
as has been supposed. The photo
graphs show the normal pose of the
stick-insect when in a cataleptical
state. and some OF the extraordinary

RULES DO NOT APPLY

State of California, Office of At

1914.-J. w. George, Esq, Imperial,
Cal.-Dear Sir: / have your letter Of
April 80, 1914, wherein you state that
you are engaged in the business of
shipping honey in large quantities to
the wholesale trade and that the hon
ey is shipped in cases containing two
cans Of five gallons each, but is in
voiced to the purchaser, net weight

You ask whether it is necessary in
shipping carload lots of honey weigh
ing and invoicing the same as above
stated, to label each can and each
case.
While under the provision of our
code ! am not authorized to render

to the proper Interpretation of the
act, trusting that the same may be of

exposed for sale in containers, the
net quantity Of the contents of the
contalner shall be plainly and con-
spicuously marked on the outside or
top thereof, or upon tag attached
thereto. Section 10 of the same act
defines the word "container" as used
in the act to be "any receptacle into
which a commodity is packed or put
for sale or to be offered or exposed
for SALE"
The purpose of this act is to avoid
deception and fraud upon purchasers
of food where such commodities are
sold in containers purporting to con-
tain certain amount Of the commod-
ity. The reason for the marking is
important where the purchaser relies
upon the assurance of the seller as
to the contents of the container, and
especially where the commodity is so
packed that the exact weight cannot
be ascertained by the purchaser at
the time of the sale. Where, how
ever, such commodities are sold to
either the wholesale or retail trade
in bulk and are merely packed in
some container for the purpose of
shipment, but not to be sold or of
fered or exposed for sale therein, then
it would appear that the act did not
apply to such sale, and that it would
be unnecessary, in the case present
ed by you, to mark the contents Of
the cans or cases containing the hon
ey upon either.
If, however, the honey is packed ir
cans to be sold or offered or exposed
for sale in such cans, then in such
a case, the can is "container" with
in the meaning of the act, and the
contents thereof must be marked upor
it, and the same rule would apply to
marking of the cases if the honey
were so packed that the case would
be the container. Very truly yours,
U. S. WEBB, Attorney General.
