This is an age OF the picturesque

touch which links it with the STYLE

The Artichoke.

The artichoke. which originally came
from Barhary, is not a botanical spe-
cies, but variety of the thistle, which
grows spontaneously all along the At
rican coast of the Mediterranean from
Morocco to Palestine. 1t is now cult
waited extensively in France, where
those which come from Brittany and
Algeria are the species most highly es-
teemed. Even CT these there are many
varieties, such as the Camus artichOke
of Brittany, the brOnZed artichOke Of
Roscoff, the big green artichoke of
Laon and the violet artichOke of Pro-
vence. There are also varieties which
come from Italy, Spain, India and Can
ada, to say nothing of the Jerusalem
artichOke, famous for the enormous
size of it's leaves. In the south Of
France when the crop is abundant the
heads are carefully picked of all their
leaves and the hearts dried in the sun,
put up in sacks and stored away for
winter use. These hearts when boiled
in water or in rich beef broth be-
come soft and recover their form, color
and flavor. They are then taken from
the pot, the water and broth strained
away, the center is filled with force
meat, and they are then either fried or
baked.

Eight years ago Mr.. Dave testified
to complete relief from kidney ills.
He now says that there has not been
the slightest return of the trouble.
Edgerton sufferers will take a deal
of comfort in Mr.. Dawes statement.
Read what he says:
John Dave, retired farmer, Broad

Americans.

A native Of any part Of North Oh
South America is literally an American
since he is Il native of one of the Amer
lean continents. Usage however, has
narrowed the term so that IAN Ameri-
cam is generally understood to be a
citizen or native of the United States
of America, while native of Canada,
Mexico, Central or South America is
known as Canadian Mexican"
Brazilian" "Guatemalan' or the like.
The reason for the usage does not lie
in any feeling that the United States
pre-empts, stands for or overshadows
the other parts of the western hemis-
phere, but simply in the fact that, while
Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the United
States of Colombia, ETC., are words
which admit of adjective formation,
American" is the only adjective which
can be formed from the name of our
country to denote it's citizens or to ap-
ply to it's interests, Industries, cities,
etc-New York Times.

To the Swift.

While the morning rush was on one
day a young woman followed trolley
car down Broadway, running two
blocks before she caught it. This she
was able to do because of the jam of
the traffic which retarded the car. Her
efforts attracted attention on both sides
of the street, and hurrying shop hands
stopped to cheer her on. At Houston
street where she came painting up to
the side of the car, she gasped to the
conductor that she had left her pocket
book on the seat and wanted to get it.
He obligingly held the car while she
made a search, No pocketbook was
found. but as she stepped off into the
street again, her eyes filled with tears,
there came a shout from behind. 1t
was the motorman of the succeeding
car, and in his hand as he leaned over
his brake he held the pocketbook.
"Here it is. lady," he said. Don't
cry You only caught the car ahead"

introduction of root crops in the eight
