Baron Reu. ter long nursed an idea for organizing the supply of foreign news in identical terms to all the newspapers, but edi- tors gave him no encouragement. At last he determined to risk things, and arranged with correspondents all over Europe. When their messages began to come in he took them round person. ally to the newspaper offices and of fered them for nothing. on condition that his name should: be printed against them. "Try them for von month";" he urged. eff they Iot satis. fly you, veil, to you it signify roth ing" One editor after another did try them, with such results that when Reuter- preached the subject of sub' scription rates his demands were read fly complied with.

Why Glass Cracks.

You have learned by experience that cold water wiil crack hot glass. or hot water cold glass. But did you kno1 that a thick glass will crack much more readily under such treat uant than a thin glass? When hot water strikes cold glass. for example. the heat of the water is quickly com. t7unicated to the glass next it, caus. ing Inc glass to expand. If the glass is thin, the heat is quickly communi- cated to beth sides of the glass so iAat they expand together without damage But if the glass is thick the hea& is slow in getting through and tho slde next the hot water expands so much more rapidly than the other side that the glass is cracked.-The Ameri- zen Roy.

Nuts as Food.

Nuts form very concentrated form of food, in many cases more so than cheese, and when rationally used they are readily digested and form part of a well-balanced ration. Nuts arc plentiful in many localities and should not be allowed to go to waste. A pound of walnuts will produce almost three times as much energy as pound of steak. Such being the case, would not the use of considerable quantity of walnuts, butternuts. and hickory nuts be valuable addition to the households supply of provisions?

DUTIES OF ARTERIES

Our arteries are constructed to
withstand enormous pressure from
the blood that courses through
them, and they naturally possess
very great elasticity. However
much the blood pressure is in
cr' ased by rapid heart action, a
perfectly healthy artery does not
give way, but stretches as the blood
is forced through, and then regains
It's proper size. AS old age ap-
proaches the arteries begin to lose
elasticity and grow more rigid.

PELLAGRA GREAT MENACE

Twenty thousand people have
died of pcllagra in the United States
III the last five years, and all that
time sovereign remedy for the
disease was stored in every kernel
of corn and every grain of wheat
that grew.
OF course, these 10000 ate bread
made Of corn or wheat. They we're
sQual1d and poor pellagra chooses
such for its Victims but in this
country bread is within the reach
of all. The trouble is that in order
to make the -four signify to the eye
the millers had extracted from it
the one clement i'll the grain that
controls pellagra, and go, 900
died. None knows how many 9th
ers suffered.
The remedy is chemical BODY,
first isolated by c. Casilner Funk
of the Lister Institute Of Preventive
Medicine. 1t is a basic substance
which forms color1ess, acidu1ar
crystals soluble in water, and is
known as vitalnen.

1lour, tor the reason that it is stored
Just under the husk or outer edge
OF the grain, and is removed in the
process OF milling. 1t is in the
same stratum Of aleuronc cells
which, III addition to protein and
tat, contain nearly all the essential
mineral clements Of the grain.
Eltamcn occurs III various lc-
guncs also, as well as in Yeast milk

tables and fruits, but nowhere, per
haps, as plentifully and in a form

y bit Of recent history Strikinglv
cNcmpliilcS the influences Of this
substance upon pcllagra. The l2lO
conviCts in the prison in Rhodcsia
are supplied with flour Of two kinds.
One is the whole corn, roughly
ground III mill on the premises,
and therefore containing all the
vltamen of the grain. The other is
ground by steam from the dcSsicatcd
corn, and Of course the outer skin
IS lacking.
When pcllagra lately invaded the
institution it was observed that cv-
cry sufferer was among the ConviCts
who used bread made of the refined
flour. BY the very simple cxpcdi-
cnt Of substituting the coarscr bread
The disease was checked and soon
disappeared.
a little later the supply Of coarse
lol1r was temporarily depleted, and
OF necessity there was short return
to the refined article. Almost i'm
medlately pcllagra broke out again,
only to disappear when the coarse
bread was restored.
The fact that those OF the con
''>'' W iA' 'i'oe VI tllS Goal 81 llOul q ute
escaped pellagra is significant. 1t
shows that nature has placed within
the reach of the poorest a medicinal
agent that gives immunity against
not pellagra only, but beri-beri and,
probably, sCrofula and ricketts,.
Funk, indeed, calls these four dis
eases avitamenoscs,' on the tfeo-
ry that each Of them, occurs as the
result Of lack of the needful vita
men
The discovery of this substance,
it may be added, strengthens an
impression, long prevalent in the
scientific world, that there is stored

dies for all diseases, and that many
would suffer less did they not elimi-
nate 50 many of these medicines bv
