FOR BINDING SPRAINED ANKLE
Some Simple Directions That VIII 30
Found Useful In Case OF
Accident.

Take a strip of adhesive plaster
about two inches wide and twelve
inches long. Starting about the lower
third of the leg, bring 1t down under
the arch of the foot and up the oppo'
site side of the ankle, drawing II
tightly under the arch. Overlap this
about one-half inch with another
piece the same width and length.
Then, using one-inch-wide adhesive,
start from the heel and apply short
strips, each one overlapping the other
by about one-half inch, to meet and
overlap the broad strip on both sides,
running these strips up as far as the
lower third Of the leg. Over these mar
row strips apply two-inch strips OF
the same length, starting from the
same point and running up the same
distance, each one overlapping the
other. Then draw a couple of short,
wide strips tightly under the arch, and
a narrow strip under the sole of the
foot and up the course of the tendon

CACTUS AS HEART STIMULANT
Plant Is Discovered to Contain Me.
dicinal and Many Other USE
full Properties.

The occasional discovery of some
useful piece of knowledge that has
been thrusting itself under our very
noses for ages, aud yet has escaped
detection, serves to emphasize the lin.
itations of the sum total of human
knowledge as compared to the still un.
solved mysteries of the universe.
It is a recent discovery, for exam
pie, that the cactus plant contains an
almost invaluable heart stimulant.
Formerly the entire cactus family
were regarded as practically useless
for man or beast so far as could be de-
termined. Then it was discovered that
this plant made excellent fodder for
domestic animals when shorn of its
spines; and chemists found in the
leaves a substance which appeared to
be q powerful heart stimulant for hui
man beings. Curiously enough this
substance does not affect the lower an
imals as it does human beings; and
this fact led many investigators to
question its potency. Most medicinal
substances affect the lower animals, or
at least some of them, in much the
same manner as they affect human be-
ings. Cactus is an exception, how
ever; and although it contains heart
stimulant of such powerful action that
it must be administered with caution,
it produces no perceptible effects on
the animals that are commonly used
for the testing experiments.

WHEN IGNORANCE WAS BLISS
How Elderly German Came to Pick the
Winning Number in
Lottery.

When the old Louisiana lottery was
still running full blast, the barber
shops and cigar stores in most parts of
the country dealt in the tickets for the
monthly drawings, anG men, women
and children played.
One morning early an elderly Ger
man with a strong accent appeared in
the central part of New Orleans seek
ing ticket No. 43. He put in several
hours hunting through the numerous
agencies of the lottery before he final
,ly found "43" and bought it. When
the drawing was held, couple of
weeks later, the old Germans number
drew the capital prize. The next morn
ing he appeared in the barber shop
where he had bought the number to
claim his reward.
The owner of the shop, asked the old
man how he had happened to select
"43."
"Vell," said the old man, II vas

before. Und seven times six ISIS for

Its forty-two; you made a mis-
:taker' exclaimed a bystander.

"any time you beat that game it's a
mistake"

When You Thread a Needle.

You may deny that your eyesignt Is
failing or not so good as it should De-
but when it comes to needle-threadlng
YOU are given away. Don't try to fool
yourself and waste precious minutes
thrusting a refractory thread into
needle-eye which you do not see. DO
1t this way:
Thrust the needle through a piece OF
cardboard or stiff paper just as far
as the eye. The paper holds the needle
securely and throws the eye into re-
lief.
Another method that will help one
out of the difficulty is this: Some day
when the light is good, thread whole
package of needles upon a spool OF
thread. Then instead of poking over
one needle at a time, while you are
sewing, all you have to do is to break
off needle and thread until the whole
pack has been used.
There is contrivance now on the
market consisting of a small magnify
ing glass, which fastens on the spool
and magnif1es the needle-eye.

Trench Anthology.

To relieve the mental strain Of trench
warfare, some men turn to poetry. One
man had made q collection of his fa-
vorite poems.
It was a small booklet in soiled pa
per covers. Loose leaves from books
of various sizes had been sewn together
in compact little volume which fitted
nicely into the pocket of his tunic.
Among others he had "Kubla Khan

POWER or FIREfLf's LIGHT
Calculation Difficult Because Ii Shows
Brightest Only When in
Flight.

Calculating the candle power of a
firefy's light is no easy matter, espe-
cially as it shows it's brightest light
only when in flight; but William II.
Pickering of the Harvard astronomical
station at Vaudeville, Jamaica, man.
aged to do it by comparing it with the
light of certain stars, says the Elec-
trical Experimental. The jamaican
FREELY gives brighter light than those
with which we in the States are IA
miliar, and Pickering's calculations are
for that of the tropical insect. In a
recent letter to Nature he states that:
"a great number of them fly along
a neighboring road, and their position
can be determined by their illumina-
ton on the inclosing stone walls.
Their brightness was found to equal
that of the star Campus, which was
just over the road and at rather a low
altitude. It's brightness was at that
time equal to Orionis, the altitude Of
which was 40 degrees. 1t was very
clear evening, as is generally the case
here, so that we may take the bright
ness of the latter as of one magnitude.
The distance of the road was It's feet,
or So meters. A zero magnitude star
is equal to one candle power at 526
meters. If of zero magnitude the light
of the FREELY would therefore have been
just 0.01 of candle power. Being of
first magnitude, its light was O.O44
candle power. This result is probably
correct within half a magnitude, or 80
per cent, and considering the apparent
brilliancy of the insect, is smaller
than one would have expected.

INSECT AS AGENT OF DESTINY
Theories to Account for Death of
Enormous Creatures That Once
Roamed the Earth.

To account for the death of those
enormous creatures which once roamed
our western country and peopled it's
swamps and>~forests, the older geolo-
gists devised convenient theories,
such as changes of climate, volcanic
disturbances, warfare among the spe-
cies.
AS information accumulated, it be-
came harder and harder to make the
theories fit the case. Given time and
animal life adapts itself to changes of
climate. Movements of the earth are
seldom so widespread that flight cam
not be taken from disturbed area to
one of safety. If giant lizard fought
mountainous mammal, why did the sur
yiyor go? Theory, it was seen, must
be in keeping with the law of probable
tiles. A new and more reasonable
hypothesis has recently been brought
forward.
At the time that nature was expert
menting with monsters, there existed
lake in Colorado. 1t was surrounded
with forests which were tenanted by
hosts of insects. A volcano buried the
lake and it's shores in ash. This hard
ened into stone. Scientists go to this
ancient graveyard, split the stone and
bring to light the petrified bodies OF
the butterflies and moths, the beetles
and bugs. Among these insects are
two species of tsetse flies. There is
nothing like them in America today.
But in Africa they abound. They are
known as the carriers Of the sleeping
sickness, one of the deadliest of dis
eases. It Is fair to assume that the
tsetse flies of Miocene times were the
hosts or distributors of disease bacill1
as they are now. Upon that assumption
new theory can be constructed: Inc
tsetse flies developed into a terrible
pest. AS they flourished, their victims
grew less. In the course of centuries,
the bulky citizens of plain and marsh
gave up the warfare. They could fight
one another and yet live. They could
not deal with merciless insects.
The theory has this merit whatever
else it may lack. 1t is plausible where
It's predecessors succumbed to clearer
thinking.-Toledo Blade.

"EARLY TO BED" OBSOLETE
Benjamin Franklin's Motto Does Not
Apply to Modern Life in 6usI-
ness World.

Early rising hours for students with
classes at S a. m. are recommended IN
the annual report Of the dean OF Co
lumbia.
A sound and time-saving reform,
maybe, for the academic world. But
1T reminds us that business of recent
wears has tended to begin the day
later and later without, so far as can
be seen, any loss of volume or etfi-
cheney, remarks the New York Eve
ming World Time was when city
stores and offices opened their doors
never later than eight in the morning
but today visitor in this city would
find it hard work to transact much
business before nine or even ten. we
venture TO say the number of New
York professional men who are at
their desks before ten o'clock in the
morning is not half what it was gen
GRAFTON ago. Yet nobody would assert
that less work is done or that brain
workers are lazier than they used to
be.
The obvious explanation is, OF
course, that labor-Saving devices, like
dictophones, typewriters, index sys-
tens, etc., enable the modern business
or professional man to use the time his
father passed in pushing a pen or
studying ledgers in concentrated, rap
id-tire attacks upon the days work
which disposes of it in half the time.
Correspondingly, the modern way is
far more firing. The tendency is to
begin the days task later and leave
it earlier.
Benjamin Franklin, whom we have
to thank for familiar sayings that hit
us hardest on the score of our late
habits, rose at five, went to bed at ten
and worked from seven to six. Today
there would be little trouble in pre-
pairing a goodly list of citizens as capa-
BILE and successful as Franklin, many
of whom rarely show up at their of
fees before eleven and leave for the
golf links soon after three.

Money in CoconutS.

The discovery has been made at Co
iombo that coconut water, better
known, perhaps, as coconut "milk,"
which has always been considered a
useless waste product, is an excellent
rubber coagulant. Millions Of gallons
of coconut water allowed to run to
waste on estates can now be made use
of at q good profit.
The coconut water is allowed to fer
ment for four or five days, after which
it can be used without further delay
as coagulating latex. This is said to
produce q fine rubber, superior to that
procured with the use of crude acetic
acid. The color of the rubber with
acetic acid fermentation is decidedly in
ferior to the coconut water fermenta-
ton. Coconut water is now made up
in bulk and shipped in large quantities
from cocount plantations to rubber es-
tateS.

from the dogs in western countries
Like the Japanese horses, they are

Disease Caused by Fear.

An eminent authority once made the
statement that a great deal Of conta-
gion is due largely TO nervous appre-
hension and fear. Terror causes radi-
cal changes in the secretions and nerve
cells, and while the possibility is not
the direct cause of disease, it certain
ly is sufficient to put the person in the
proper condition to be attacked by the
prevailing malady.
It is a MISUNDERSTOOD fact that ex'
cessive anger infuses toxic element
into the secretions. Fear destroys the
resistlve capability, and, as it We're,
lets down the drawbridge and makes
way for the eheny.

Riuht Spirit Counts.

Let us keep a right spirit for it is
the spirit that counts. Let us pre-
tend to nothing that we do not feel,
but feel everything that we ought to
feel. Let US dedicate few moments
now and then to seeking wisdom for
our trying moments, and then when
the moments come let us apply it as
successfully as we can. II we fail
many times we shall succeed at last
and then part of the unpleasantness
will be conquered. In time we will
conquer it all. The self-training we
thus give our hearts and minds is the
purchase price of love, appreciation
and success.-Unity.
