FLAG lanouao0,


There Is no international language
Of flags established by law. but by
common consent flags of a certain color
are used for certain purposes. All over
the world yellow flag is a signal Of
contagious disease. A ship hoists 1t to
denote that there are some on board
suffering from such disease. and it re-
mains hoisted until she has reached
quarantine. The white flag is univer-
sally used as flag of truce. The black
flag was formerly the symbol of piracy.
and now in some countries it is flown
after an execution is performed to in
dictate that the requirements Of the law
have been carried out. Other features
OF flag language are that flag flying
at half mast Is a universal sign Of
mourning, and when a ship has to
make a sign Of distress she does it by
raising the national ensign reversed
or upside down. Even this can he en-
phasized by knotting the flag in the
middle to indicate great distress and
imminent danger.

Fruit Dict a. Q Cure.

The fruit diet is sure and positive
cure for what is popularity known as
bleeding and for persons usually des-
ignated as bleeders. persons who can
not stop the flow Of blood once 1t is
started from q wound or other cause.
The fruit diet will supply the blood
with fibrin. Fibrin Is the substance
out of which nature fabricates flesh
and muscle. A person on the fruit
diet hardly bleeds at all when he cuts
himself accidentally with a knife or
when, for proper reasons. dentist
is forced to draw one Of his teeth. The
blood coagulates almost instantane-
ously. If you believe none of this, just
try 1t. The experience Is safe and
sane. The fruit diet Is cheaper and
better than the meat diet. and it will do
more for you. You will feel fine and
chirrupy and optimistic. You never
find fruit eater who is pessimist-
