QUININE OF PERUVIAN ORIGIN
Bark's Medicinal Virtues Were First
Discovered in That Country
Many Centuries Ago.

Jesuit's bark is one of several
from which quinine is made. The
medicinal virtues of the bark are said
to have been discovered by Jesuit
about 1886, but 1t is likely they were
known to the natives of Peru before
the Spanish Jesuits visited that coun-
try. Another name of the article, Gin
chona, undoubtedly is of Spanish ORR
gin. In 1929 Spanish nobleman, the
count Of Chinchon, was appointed gov
ernor of Peru and during his residence
there his wife was cured of an attack
Of fever and ague by means of the
powdered bark and when about to en-
bark she took quantity Of the bark
with her. She died on the voyage, but
remembrance of the countess of Chin
chon, it was called Cinchona, or, as it
should have been, Chincona. The Brit
ish Encyclopedia says: 1.-THE earliest
Observation-Disclosures instance of the med
| icinal use of cinchona bark is found
in the year 1888, when the countess Of
Chinchon (hence the name), the wife
Of the governor of Peru, was cured of
an attack of fever by it's administra-
ton. A knowledge of the bark was
disseminated throughout Europe by
members of the Jesuit brotherhood,
whence it also became generally known
as Jesuits bark"

A new development in the caterpil.

small size adapted for factory use. AS
made in Ohio, this is only so inches in
extreme width and 81 inches high, and,
as it passes through ordinary factory

materials inside the building as well
as outside, travelling over level floors
and uneven ground with equal facility.

George beamed on his wife much

been married only six months, and so
far there had been no serious misun-
derStandings between them. The war,
which had brought so much misery
and tragedy into the world was now
being felt on it's remotest outskirts,
affecting people of moderate means by
the frightful rise in the cost of living.
The government was urging as a pa
triotic measure the wealthy classes to
reduce their menus. The poor needed
books drove them to the dire necessity
even where less amount would seem
to mean a close approach to starva-

Mr.. and Mrs. George Steers belonged
to neither the very wealthy nor the
very poor class. Steers was drawing
a good salary in a responsible posi-

might be said to be comfortably off. SO
1t was quite from patriotic motives
that they resolved to cut down the

from the French ambassador asking
that she be courteously treated at the
frontier Had she gone to France by
way of MOdane all would doubtless
have been well, but at the last moment
she decided to return by way of Swift
zerand, an equally good route were it
not for the war. AS SwitzerlandS folk
have been strongly suspected of try
ing TO play the good old game of both
ends against the middle, and thereby
earn an honest living, by the French,
the Italians, the Austrians and the Ger
mans, travellers into her confines are
searched with care. The woman in
question aroused some unusual SuS-
picion among the Italian officers at the
frontier and she was searched right
down to the skin. to the last thread of
her hair. Her body was washed, to
erase any writing Secreted on her skin.
Her clothing was gone over, the
seams unsewed, her private letters
fedu, treated WIN CHelnlcaI SOIuUOnS

the third degree of the frontiers was
applied in all its rigors. When the
woman was finally released. with moth

Trick of English Traveller.
An English woman present, who was
on her way to see sick friends in
Switzerland, naturally unwilling to go
through the same examination if she
could prevent it, began to cry when
her turn came. I'm fainting. I'm
fainting. Take me away from here"
AS the examiners have a holy horror
Of fainting women, who cause all
kinds of trouble, they swiftly plucked
her from the crowd and passed her
and her baggage into the awaiting

The greatest effect of the revolution
in Russia will lie in republican form of
government in all the years to come.
Probably the Russian people look first
at the Importance of the overthrow of
the Romanoff dynasty as a triumph of
the anti-German sentiment of the EN-
pire In literal sense, it has trans
planted pro-Germans from power into
prison, dcposed treason and set up pa
triotism in the vacated places of au-
thority. Thus in motive and immediate
result the event argues for more effec
tive prosecution of the war, for an ia
crease of Russian efficiency in the
struggle with Germany. Nor can one
doubt that the element now in the as
cendant will remain true 10 the cause
of the entente allies. Between RUSSIA
democracy and Prussian autocracy
there can be no natural amity. Indeed
for Russian democracy it should seem
that the vanquishment of the Hohen-
zollerns and Hapsburgs had become the
most indispensable prerequisite to the
permanenee of the Romanoff overthrow
The law Of self-preseryation must oper
ate to hold those who have risen TO au
thority in Russia faithful to the pact
which their country had entered into
with the democracies of the West. Tn,
Russian revolution has given to thai
pact philosophical and spiritual yer
ity that was conspicuously lacking ST
long as Russia remained under the alb
/ solutism of the Romanotfs.
