MEDICINAL FOODS.
"Observeay Gives "A Good Article
Showing Medicinal Foods.
(By observer.

(By observer"
You may not believe it, but short
time after my article on Roots and
Herbs" was printed, several weeks
ago, / heard from it from a man in d
state more than a thousand miles
away. How the paper reached him
l do not know, but your publisher
knows it is true. l 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 printed at once. Here it is:
Mother Nature is a wise provider
for her somewhat ungrateful chill
dren. She furnishes us many RENE
dies that we overlook. The value
of green food as a health preserva-
tive 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 sooth-
ing. Lettuce induces sleep. Celery
is especially valuable for those Of
nervous temperament Onions, as is
we'll known, are good for colds and
sore threats. They also relieve drop
steal swellings, Group, bronchitis,
etc. Cooked onions relieve consti-
patton; an onion poultice is good for
a 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. To-
matoes are said to be cure for chol.
era infantum. They are also a liv-
er 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
a recognized remedy for the reten-
sion of urine They are likewise
good for inflammation of the bowels
and bladder.
Radishes are declared good for
colds, sore throat and Bright's di-
sease. Beats are a remedy for grav-
ell Cranberry poultices are excel
lent for erysipeias. Cooked and eat
en- they are said to be a relief fo-
piles. Pineapple aids digestion, re-
lieves throat troubles, diphtheria.
and is especially good for Group.
Almost every plant that grows has
its medicinal qualities, and if we ate
more of them and less meats there
would be fewer doctors and drug
stores in our land.

She Was willing to Help.

The charming wife of a French
diplomat had never thoroughly mas
tered the English language. She
was urging an American naval officer
to attend a dinner, the invitation to
which he had already declined. The
lady insisted that he must go, but
the young officer said he could not
possibly do so, as he had burned his
bridges behind him.
The lady misunderstood the word.
That will be all right, she exclaim-
ed; l will lend you pair of my hus-
bands.

Theory That Blow Was Intended For
 Her Husband,

For some time an investigation has been quietly made to discover the identity of a person who wickedIy as- saulted Mrs. Chester Codding at her home.

As she was re- turning blow was aimed at her and struck with such farce as to painfully injure her. It Is believed that her as- satIant intended &he blow for her huS- band and in the darkness mistook the woman for the man. The fellow made his escape. The story about the cows being loose was a hoax.
