"OBSERVER' GIVES A
GOOD ARTICLE SHOW
ING MEDICINALCFOODS
By. "ORSERVER.n -

You may not believe it, but a short
time after my article on "Roots and
Herbs" was printed, several weeks ago
heard from man in state more than
a thousand miles away. How the paper
reached him do not know, but your
publisher knows IT is true. | told you
then that at some future time ! would
give you some information on the
medicinal values of some of our COM
mon foods. The man in the far away
state was very anxious that it be print
ed at once. Here it is:
Mother Nature is a wise provider for
her somewhat ungrateful children. She
furnishes us many remedies that we
overlook. The value of green food as
health preservative cannot be over
estimated.
Dyspeptics can use lemon juice in
salads where vinegar disagrees with
them. Lemon juice also is good for
those suffering with coughs, rheuma-
tism, grippe, biliousness, headaches,
vomiting, etc.
Lettuce, cress, celery, dandelion and
other greens" are nerve soothing.
Lettuce induces sleep. Celery is es-
pecally valuable for those of nervous
temperament Onions, as is well known
are good for colds and sore throats.
They also relieve dropsical swellings,
Group, bronchitis, etc. Cooked onions
relieve constipation; an onion poultice
is good for burn or scald.
Turnips are good for nervous dis
orders. Rhubarb is a blood purifier
and is excellent for rheumatics. The
white navy bean has been declared a
cure for erysipelas. Asparagus is good
for the liver and kidneys. Tomatoes
are said to be cure for cholera in
fantum. They are also a liver stimulant
and emulsify fat.
Carrots are recommended for asthma
sufferers, and are also good for the
kidneys. Pumpkin seed are used to
remove tape worm and are recogniz-
ed remedy for the retension of urine.
They are likewise good for inflammation
of the bowels and bladder.
Radishes are declared good for colds,
sore throat and Bright's disease. Beats
are a remedy for gravel. Cranberry
poultices are excellent for erysipelas.
Cooked and eaten they are said to be
relief for piles. Pineapple aids diges-
ton, relieves throat troubles diphtheria
aud is especially good for Group.
Almost every plant that grows has its
medical qualities, and if we ate more
of them and less meats there would be
fewer doctors and drug stores in our
land.

Homes

A home is an institution that families
maintain as a sort of headquarters for
meals and lodging. Most families think
great deal of their home and, to pre-
vent wearing it out, use it no more than
is absolutely necessary. We suppose
there are both men and women who en-
JOY living at home, but these. peculiar
characters seem never to meet before
they establish a home Of their own
and it's dangerous for them to meet

ANCIENT HOUSE OF WORSHIP
Church in New Hanover County, North Carolina, One of the Coun-
 try's Landmarks.

One of the oldest historical land marks in New Hanover county, North Carolina, and among the oldest in the country is St Philips church, To- cated 10 miles below Wilmington on the historic Cape Fear river It was built by the settlers in TAO. It was then, and for a long time afterward the only dedicated house of worship in the first settlement in North Caro- lina Stirring scenes of the Revolu- tionary war centered around this old church, the English troops at one time riddling the walls of the build ing with shot and shell while the col onists were at worship within. A Lon don magazine of 1791 relates that a storm occurred in North Carolina which began on Monday. December 20, and continued until Friday. Dur ing this storm many houses were blown ashore This storm forced open a new channel at the mouth of the Cape Fear eighteen feet deep and nearly half mile wide.
 The Colonial Danes of America, North Carolina division. have annual pilgrimages to the ruins of old St Philips every year. at which times picturesque and quaint exercises are reproduced year after year.

BAD MANNERS IN SOME SHOPS
Story Concerning the Amusing su- perciIiousness of Saleswomen in
 Big Establishments.

An amusing discussion took place the other day in the dressing room of fashionable restaurant. Three women were laughing over the gran deur of the saleswomen in a certain Walnut street shop. The shop was offering reduced rates, and one of them sauntered in from curiosity what woman can resist looking over what may prove to be bargain? The saleswoman in charge seemed quite indifferent. and upon Mrs. X making some critical remark about a simple little gown marked down to $16.50 she raised her penciled eyebrows and looked pityingly at the customer. as though sizing her up according to the gowns value. "Oh," she drawled. but that, you know. you would only find on an expensive gown-a $50 gown!" Mrs. X mimlcked the grande maniere of the saleswoman quite out of all pro- portion with her evident regard for a $50 gown, and her companions laughed heartily.-Kansas City Star.

DOCTORS EXPERIENCE Medicine Not Needed in This Case

It is hard to convince some people that coffee does them an injury! They lay their bad feelings to almost every cause but the true and unsuspected one.
 But the doctor knows. His wide ex- perience has proven to him that, to some systems, coffee is an insidious poison that undermines the health. Ask him if coffee is cause of con stipation, stomach and nervous trou- bles.
 T have been a coffee drinker all my life, and when taken sick two years ago with nervous prostration, the doc tor said that my nervous system was broken down and that would have to give up coffee.
 I got so weak and shaky I could not work, and reading an advertise ment of Postum I asked my grocer if he had any of it. He said, Yes, and that he used it in his family and it was all it claimed to be.
 So I quit coffee and commenced to use Postum steadily, and in about two weeks could sleep better and get up in the morning feeling fresh. In about two months l began to gam flesh. I weighed only 146 pounds when I com menced on Postum and now I weigh 167 and feel better than I did at 20 years of age.
 T am working every day and sleep well at night. My two children were coffee drinkers, but they have not drank any since Postum came into the house, and are far more healthy than they were before" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Little Betty was in the habit of praying for her naughty playmate. Tommy. One evening she omitted to mention him. Asked by her mother why she did so, the child replied: "He was howwid to me today. He frew mud in my face. So won't ask God to bless him."
 Her mother tucked her in bed, and then went into the next room. leav- ing the door open.

Place the most literally educated president of the highest institution of learning alone on desert island, and. if he lives, he will soon become more animal than man, perhaps crawling on all fours, forgetting his native tongue, and becoming intellectually below the domestic dog in intelli- gence. He will even forget how to talk to himself
 By ourselves we amount to prac- tically nothing.

Not what we possess, but what we obtain from others, or, to put it differently, what we collectively receive by ex- changing experiences with others. rounds out a man and lifts him be- yond the animal.
 Man, collectively, is almost all-pow- erful; to him impossibility does not seem to exist. Individually, he is, or would be, worthless product. One of the principal causes of fail ure is the tendency to live too much within ourselves, to depend upon our selves, to judge for ourselves.
 I am not asking anyone to give up his individuality, or to allow others to dictate his every action. but 1 am saying to you, young man, and to you, young woman, that, If you would round yourself out in usefulness, and obtain a character and a reputation, you must depend upon others, ex- changing your ideas for those of oth- CTS, giving and taking, drawing from can give you, or, rather, all that you can take of it.
 There is no other way
 The more friends you have, the more you mix intelligently with others, the more you get together, the more you will amount to. You will not for felt your individuality, but, rather, you will combine it with that of oth- CTS, making exchanges, swapping ex- periences.
 Depending upon yourself is laudable and to be encouraged but when you carry that self-dependence to the ex- l treme, you will find that you have nothing back of you which will sus- tain you. even in small emergencies.
 You need companions, companions of your own kind-you cannot have any other kind.
 To be an acceptable and useful citi- zen and to succeed in business, con tact with your fellows is absolutely essential. Progressive business men are members of boards of trade and chambers of commerce. They keep in touch with financial movements and are never ignorant of those current events which have bearing upon their vacations. Even competitors lunch together and exchange expert ences realizing that only in this way ! can they keep abreast of the times This intermingling is as necessary l in social life as it is in business. Un- less you are constantly in touch with your fellows, you will become too rusty to be considered of any conse- quence in any community.
 The more you fraternize with in- telligent and honest others. the more intelligent and the more honest you will be. You cannot escape your fel- | lows. unless you shut yourself away from them; and, if you do, you might as well jump overheard and stay there, for the world does not want you and there is no reason why it l should.

SIM FELICITY.

Simplicity is art understood by the ignorant and appreciated by the intel ligent.
 Great men are simple, and their tastes are simple. They dress simply, never ostentatiously; their watch chains, if they have any, are never large and conspicuous. Occasionally they wear ring, but only one ring. Their natural appetites crave simple rood, and not the rich viands and the mysterious sauces which can tickle only the palate of the epieure, who lives to eat rather than eats to live.
 The great authors, those who have written the living words which never die, write in simple diction, use lan- guage as a means to an end, not to make display of 1t.
 Many years ago, then somewhat unknown man, by the name of Dan 1el DeFoe, made a story out of the experiences of a shipwrecked sailor and called his hero Robinson Crusoe. For generation this narrative was read by youngsters, and it was looked hs has passed beyond the juvenile class and is considered one of the finest ex- amples of simple English narrative, having place in the libraries of the world
 Lincoln was not the only orator at Gettysburg. Competing with him-if l may put it that way-was one of Americas greatest scholars yet the simple words of Lincoln have become an English classic, and millions of people can recite the whole speech from memory, while the words of the scholar are almost forgotten, and not one in ten thousand of the men of today know what he said; in fact, most of them do not know that he spoke at all.
 Simplicity lives, it's opposite dies young. Great men of every class | have been simple and their reputa- tions have been built upon simplicity. They not only understand what they say, but they say it so that others un- derstand it.
 Education by itself does not produce an educated man Education is sim. ply one of the clements which go to round out man and make him a bet ter citizen, enabling him to accomplish better results. Education, academic. ally speaking, is not necessarily sim. pie. It is more or less complex. There fore, the educated man of use in the world has mixed simplicity with his learning that it may be in a condition | to be assimilated.
 Not what we know. but what we do with what we know, counts; and we cannot distribute either learning or experience, or use them to advantage, unless we have prepared them to meet the exigencies of the times, made them so that they are of use.
 The greatest leveling power in the world, that which makes things good | for something, is common simplicity mixed with common sense. The two are practically synonymous, for one cannot exist without the other Where they don't exist, all the learning in the world, and all the experience pos sible for one to obtain, are like sc much gold buried beyond the reach o1 man.
 Be simple, be clear Don't swallow dictionary and exhale words, which like dust, blind the eye and clog the ear.
