Rheumatism Cure.

The oldfashioned person who car
ries a potato in his pocket to ward on
attacks of rheumatism may be wiser
in what some have termed his super
stition' than we wot Up-to-date
medical science in a recent book on
THE Therapeutic Value Of the Po-
tato" calls attention to the value OF
this tuber in the treatment of inham-

gout, lumbago and rheumatism. The
potato is not described as an article
OF diet, either boiled or baked, nor as

could scarcely be professional to pre-
scribe anything quite SO much to a
patients liking. But this curative
agent may be used raw by means of a
bandage, and in some cases-no one
can now escape the little syringe-is
to be used hypodermically. After all,
however, the potato in the pocket win
appeal to many as simpler, conven-
lent, and perhaps quite as efficacious
a remedy, placebo, or amulet, as any
the pharmacist may provide.

The discovery OF the X-ray by Pro-
fessor Roentgen may be fairly consid-
cred one of the most wonderful
achievements of the nineteenth cen
nry. 1t is today, as it was found by
him in 1895, the same mysterious, un-
seen, but positive force, species OF
electrical energy without a domicile
and needing no conductor, form of
light passing through closed doors, in
visible itself and yet lighting up GER
tain substances with halo of glory
and radically changing and decompos-
ing others. Rivaling the sun in actinic
power, and writing its autograph with
an unseen hand, it is truly called the
X, or unknown ray.

Marry the Mature Man.

The girl who marries a man older
than herself is often happier than the

advantage of all those years during
which he has gained in understanding,

older man is settled in his actions; he
is not likely to change. He expects

Water and Health.

The part played by water in daily
life is not very well understood. Be
ginning with the bath, water is not
only a cleansing agent, but a healer
and a beautifier. A daily bath will do
much for the beauty Of the skin and
the health of the body. The morning
glass of water, hot or cold, clears away
the accumulation of the night from the
throat and stomach and prepares the
way for breakfast and its digestion.
Taken at night, water acts as q sooth'
ing agent, and swallowed in liberal
quantities through tue day it is an
agent of health. curing many obstinate
cases of intestinal trouble.

HOW HORSES FARE

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
 Ottawa, Canada, Dec. 2S.-An inter- esting official account of how horses fare in war is contained in a report received here from the chief remount officer with the Canadian troops in France. There are approximately 15,- 900 horses with the Canadian army corps in France, and the report points out that even in modern warfare each infantry division. of 1000 men re- quires 6,200 horses.
 Continuing the report reads:
 The horses of division are taken care of by twelve veterinary officers and. one mobile veterinary section of tWenty-seven men, which attends to the horses in the firing line.

DRINK HOT WATER
 BEFORE BREAKFAST

 are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up with @ coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids you have a real surprise await ing you.
 Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indi- gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleasing, sweeting and purifying the entire alimentary can al.
 Those subject to sick headaches. backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of lime- stone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning in- side-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthu- siastic and keep it up daily. It is splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and p+.e on the inside than on the outside, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing dis ease, while the bowel pores do.
 The principle of bathing inside is not new, as millions of people prac- tice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify ard freshen the skin, so hot water and teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the sto- mach liver, kidneys and bowels Limestone phosphate is an inexpen- sive white powder and almost taste

| dred and eighty-seven men and six officers. 1t has a capacity of one l thousand cases, and the work which is done there is really remarkable. Horses, which in previous wars and in civilian life, would be destroyed at once, are treated so successfully that in due course they become fit for mil- itary duty in the firing line. 1t is in- teresting to note that of six hundred and seven horses sent in on one occa- sion, only twelve died. Five hundred and ninety-five eventually became fit for reissue, or to be sold as casts for easy duty.
 ''The men work under the most try ing conditions, often exposed to the fire of rifle and big gun. They are up around the lines all the time gather ing in wounded horses; their horse manship is remarkable. Wounded horses are immediately given first aid. Any horse that can walk is rushed back to the mobile section, or field hospital, his wounds are carefully treated and every care given him.
 Supply Never Diminished.
 During the second battle of Ypres, when the Canadians were pressed to their utmost, at no time was the sup ply of horses diminished at the firing line. As casualties occurred among battery and transport horses, rein forcements were rushed through the storm of bursting shells to take their places. Although our guns were with in three hundred yards of the enemy, there never was wagon or a gun lost in what is known as one of the fiercest engagements that has taken place in this war.

Cutter Near Vessel.


 Newport, R. l., Dec. .31.-The coast guard cutter Seneca, which went to the assistance of the disabled Greek steamer Thessaloniki, reported through the siasconset wireless sta- tion at 10 o'clock last night that she was within seventy miles of the posi- tion given by the Thessa1oniki, but was unable to estab ablish direct com n1unication with her because of poor wireless conditions.
 Previous reports from the Seneca stated that she had not sighted a. steamer near the position given in wireless messages early yesterday.
 Wireless Working Badly.
 The radio station here sent out distress message last night to all vessels at sea asking them to assist in the search and to be prepared to render immediate aid It was said that one difficulty in locating the Ihessalonlki was due to the fact that her wireless was working badly.
 The local station head heard nothing early today from the steamer Florizel which had been searching for the Thessaloniki.
