New Medicine Discovered
in France Is an Extract
From Popular MistletOe

There is'a brand new medicine, just
discovered in France; 1t is the extract
of our old friend the mistletoe. DR..
Charles Green Cumston, Swiss CORE
spondent of the New York Medical
Journal, in reporting it to that paper,
says, however, that the American mis-
tletoe will not do, as its effects NaHe
different from it's French sister.
The new preparation is called WIS.,
cum album. 1t was discovered by DIR.
Faultier, and he and DR.. Doyen have
had great success with it in checking
certain forms of hemorrhage. 1t is
given either In the form of pills or in
jections into the veins. Its effect is to
dilate the blood vessels by paralyzing
the vasomotor centers of the nervous
system; to increase the systolic energy
of the heart and slow the heart beats /;
to cause contraction of the unstriped
ibers of the muscles.
Intestinal hemorrhage due to typhoid
fever is checked by it, and it is said to
be admirable for use in hardening of
arteries.

STATISTICS SHOW NATION
HEALTHIER THAN USUAL.
Mortality Lower and Health CondiionzBeae h.lPaaSummer Than in
Any CouespondngtPeid in Recent Year,

The health statistics Of the leading cities of the United States, and
for the insurance companies, show that the mortality has been lower and
health conditions in general more favorable during the last summer than
during any corresponding period in recent years. Public health workers
attribute much of this low mortality to the cool, comfortable weather pre-
vailng throughout the summer and to the fact that the influenza epidemic
OF last fall and winter caused the premature deaths of many persons suf-
fering from chronic diseases. These deaths would have occurred under
ordinary conditions throughout the spring and summer of 1919, health
workers say.
The figures available in the recorda Of a leading life insurance COM
pany, industrial department, during the months of July, August and
September, this year, show exceedingly low mortality rates from the acute
infectious diseases of children, mea5les, scarlet fever, whooping cough and
diphtheria, as compared with the corresponding months of previous years.
Typhoid fever shows a low death rate. This is encouraging because it is a
sign Of sanitary progress throughout the country. Diarrhea and enterhis,
infantle intestinal diseases which have their maximum incidence during
the summer in the eastern and central part of the United States, showed
this year one of the lowest rates on record. The diseases and conditions
for preceding summers. Beginning with the month of September, there
was a slight increase in the death rate for influenza and pneumonia, not
enough, however, to warrant the conclusion that the epidemic conditions
of last year would be repeated.
Public health officials, and the health service of the life insurance
companies, are watching carefully the current mortality returns with a
view to controlling, so far as possible, any unfavorabe mortality situation,
should it arise. The United States public health service has suggested that
local and state health departments outline an adequate program for the
control of epidemis of respiratory disease. The life insurance companies
are urging their policy holders who have had influenza Or pneumonia to
consult with their family physicians frequently in order to combat any of
the effects of such diseases upon the heart, kidneys or lungs.

SenegaIese Soldiers Wear
SpectacIes as Ornaments
To Impress Compatriots

Those whom fate has condemned to
wear spectacles may have some diff
fculty in believing that anyone could
regard these articles as ornaments, to
be worn with pride and pleasure. This,
however, is nevertheless the cast with
many of the Senegalese soldiers who
fought in the war. While on leave in
Paris, on their way home, many of
these gallant warriors have invested in
spectacles as the surest means of i'm
pressing their compatriots.
An optician relates that when he
tried to sell a pair of spectacles with
plain glass to a Senegalese whose
sight was obviously excellent, the SOL
der complained that they were no
good because they did not make
everything look funny" The optician
Immediately supplied the soldier with
a pair of concave lenses that would
have done very well for a short-sight-
ed student. The customer was salts
fed at once, paid, and went out, col
liding on the way with various pieces
of furniture.

Oranges, Lemons, Pineapple
and ApricotS as Medicine

A diet of oranges will clear muddy
compilations and reduce superabund-
ant urves. Lemon, taken internally,
quenches thirst and prevents the bad
habit of overindulgence in Ice water.
Lemons clear the skin, assist the di-
gestion and help one get rid of fat.
Applied externally, they are a bleach
that will remove stains from the fin
gers or neck, freckles from the arms
or cheeks and sallow blemishes. Pine
apples are said to sweeten the voice,
restore the quality of it, if it has
grown husky, and aid digestion, which
means they will help to beautify the
complexion. Apricots are used for the
same purpose, and are much favored
ip oriental countries.

Alligator Farming Brings
Good Returns for Effort

There is much money to be made in
alligator farming. The demand for
alligators is large, constant and rapidly
increasing; the supply is limited and
there is not much competition. The few
alligator farmers in America are pros
pering. Alligators have to be fed on
meat, but they need no food from Sep
TENDER l to May /, for this is their
alternating season, when they do not
eat at all. Alligator skins are used for
making bags, %suitcases, purses, belts,
cushion covers, etc., and the teeth and
bones are made into cuff links, paper
knives, whistles and many forms Of
cheap jewelry and ornaments.

MATRIMoNY

Matrimony is the United States
of Love. 1t is a union of the settled
state, the contented state, the busted
state and the states of rapture, resig-
nation, distraction and many others.
Matrimony is also a very peculiar
form of arithmetic, III which one and
one make one and later on nine or
ten. ~ AS Don as a young man and
a young oma find that one parlor,
one chair and one name are quite
enough for both of them, they are
made one by law and are then privi-
legged to get along on n income
for the rest of their lives.
Matrimony is the origin Of the
home, the hall mark of civilization,
and the hope of the census bureau.
without matrimony man is a use
less cumberer Of boarding houses
and woman a lonely antique. But
there is such a thing as being too en-
thusiastic about matrimony. 1t is
very easily carried to excess. To
marry two wives without a vacation
between is considered worse than to
vote twice at the same election. In
unciyiliZed nations, men frequently
AVE half a dozen wives at the same
time and support them in luxury.
This is called polygamy. Polygamy
is a very peculiar form of misplaced
bravery. n
When q man marries, he swears to
love, cherish and protect his wife
and to endoW her with all his
worldly goods. Men are so wicked,
however, that a great many of them
persistently hold out cigar and
lunch money. When a woman
marries, she swears to love, homer
and obey her husband. However,
the word "obey" is being cut out of
many ceremonies as a dead letter
law which shows that the married
state is mor careful about dead
'atter laws than most other states.
{ Getting married is a serious mat
n and yet young people tackle the

first you don't succeed, try, try
again"
Matrimony is blessed with chill
dren, good home cooking, pleasant
home evenings, golden weddings, and
js. at other times afflicted with
green eyes, soggy bread and hair
trigger tempers. When a selfish per-
son marries, the victim is to be
pitied, but when two selfish persons
marry each other, great good re-
suits. They are MOI only removed
from circulation, but they get what
has been coming to them from their
youth up. 236
