Overdoses of Sugar Cause
4 Of Throat Disturbances Is
F%%'$: Statement of Medical Man

Singers frequently complain Of ca
tarrh and nearly always blame the
American climate for their trouble.
Do the singers, however, sufficiently
consider the food they eat? We have
been informed by a medical expert.
whom we respect as an authority, that
most Of the throat disturbances in the
United States are caused by overdoses
of sugar. He says he has proved his
statement on a number of vocalists of
various .telnperaments and physical
characteristics by inducing them to
eat excessively of sugar and sweet diet
late in the evening and then to OBJ
serve most carefully the condition OF
their throats and tongues in the morn
Ing. After he had brought on ca
tarrhal troubles through the abuse OF
sugar he invariably restored the vocal
chords to their normal condition by
putting his patients on a salt diet and
prohibiting the sugar diet.
We are but quoting a doctors con-
versatiOn and we do not for moment
pose as medical experts ourselves.
We believe, however, that the doc
tors advice should ut least receive
careful Observation-Disclosures.

Some species of birds among the

not depend upon their wings alone to

the San Francisco Chronicle quotes,
various birds, especially sparrows and
linnets, have adopted a less fatiguing
method of transit than that which we
usually consider as their natural one,
by riding on the brake beams of trains.
He described an incident in which

Majority Of Big Animals
; Are Extremely Lazy Even
in Their Native Haunts

Though not generally known, most
of the big catnivora are extremely
lazy, In their native haunts-only ex-
erttng themselves when In need Of
food, and often going without it for
sheer incidence.
Animals of the geological gardens
obtaining their food without any ef-
fort on their own part grow stupid and
Ill for lack of exercise. The pac-
ing up and down, just before meal
time is not sufficient. Besides, ani-
mails are like people they need change
of scene and air. For this reason tho
animals in circus or show are really
more fortunate than their brothers in
the geological gardens.
The trick animals get plenty Of ex-
ercise during performance, and the
constant change of scene keeps them
interested. Even such fierce animals
as leopards, tigers and lions enjoy
going through their tricks from sheer
relief of the monotony of their cages,
and often the big cats are quite play
full during the time of their training,
not from any love Of man, but from a
love of motion.

Javanese Use No Nails, No
Iron-0nIy Bamboo-in
Construction of Bridges

The natives of Java have q BRIDGE
building technique which utilizes to
the limit their slight resources for
work of this character. OF raw mate
rials they are acquainted with but tive,
and one of these is really a product
Of their own ingenuity. They have
no nails, no iron, no true wood; they
are forced to rely entirely upon bam-
boo for the structural parts, and upon
q rope Of their own manufacture to eff.
feet the junctures. In spite Of these
they achieve highly credit
able results.
The original element which the
Javan natives have brought to the con-
struction of these bridges is made Of a
fiber taken from the native aren-palm,
which grows all over the island. This
fiber is Of black and horny substance.
It makes a rope that resists effective
ly the heavy decayfng action Of the
hot and damp tropical climate with
Its legions Of fungi; in fact, it lasts for
many years without any indications Of
eottinE.

Sahara Desert Once Well
Watered and Fertile Says
Professor of Egypto|ogy

The Sahara desert was once we'll wa
tered and fertile, and hunters from
the Sahara plateau, moving gradually
down through rift in North
eastern Africa, located where Egypt
now lies, according to DR.. James
Henry Breasted, professor of Egyp-
tology and oriental history, Uni
versity Of Chicago.
Doctor Breasted said that this all
happened about the time Of the stone
age. Egypt was then one huge lake,
but it gradually drained out into the
Mediterranean. leaving the Nile valley.
Here the hunters were afforded every
natural resource and founded a CIV
ilization which outstripped Europe. It
was about 1000 or 5000 b. G. that
Egypt had a stable government con-
trolling millions of souls.
The grain of Egypt was 1000 years
older than that found in Asia, says
Doctor Breasted, and cattle undoubt-
edly had their origin In Africa. Tho
stone age founders of Egypt early de-
veloped from hunters to farmers and
used the oldest metal Instruments
made by human agency. They evil
dently discovered the metal there; and
a system of writing was evolved In
Egypt thousands Of years before

Samoyedes Of the Russian

In the extreme north of the Rus

of the Queerest and least known races
Of mankind. These IRE the Samo-
yedes, the wandering tribes of the vast
frozen marshes which extend In these
regions from the forest belt to the
shores of the Arctic ocean. They w0r-

draws the sledge which transports the
Samoyede and his belongings from
spot to spot in search OF the game and
fish, which constitute his principal
sustenance. Dead, 1t provides him
with meat in times Of scarcity, and
with skin for his family tent. With
its sharpened bones he tips his wood
en- fishing harpoons and hunting
spears. Its sinews he uses to sew to-
gether the shirt, breeches, and boots
Of sealskin, which are the attire alike
Of the Samoyede men, women and
children. -..

"Connaughton was playing second

playing short, just kid out Of school

began to help him out on his terri

ROOM IN THE
POULTRY HOUSE

The majority of growers put too
many fowls together in one poultry

Or three apartments will answer.
II two apartments are used there will
be SO in flock, the space being 60 by
30 feet for so fowls. An excellent
plan is a house 16 by 80 feet, divided
into two compartments, 16 by 16 feet

for scratching under shelter in winter.
An extra shed for scratching will also

built at small cost and will afford

can roost under the sheds. T.
The yards should be about ten times

on the ground-the more comfortable
the fowls. Each house can have a
double yard, so as to change the fowls
from one yard to the other. A yard
in front and one in the rear is m ex-
cellent plan.
The best way to estimate how many
hens to keep in building is to null
tiply the width by the length and d.
vide by ten. For instance, If house
is 9 by 16 feet, multiply the two fig
ures together, making IA square feet.

~ Then Harrigan went on to tell how

Maranville. Irwin went to New Bed
ford on his suggestion, he says, to look
the Rabbit over. Old Arthur took one
look at the little fellow, according to
Harrigan, and said in disgust:

COOLING Foods for Hot DAYS.

Cooling Foods for Hot Days.
During the hot weather succulent
vegetables, frozen desserts and cooling
beverages appeal to the appetite rath-
er than the heavier, heartier foods.
Small green onions, cooked tops and
nil and served on buttered toast with
4 white sauce as one does asparagus,
makes dainty and pretty dish.
When making salad of any kind of
vegetable a cupful more or less Of cot
tage cheese will add. to the quantity as
well as palatabilty.
Cucumbers are one of the most re-
freshing of vegetables when served
crisp and cold. The method used by
many cooks of soaking them in salt
water IS most undesirable as the Wilt
ed product Is tough and unpalatable.
If they must be soaked, let 1t be In
cold unsalted water.
Slices Of cucumbers covered with
bit of dressing as filling for sand

are still cold and crisp, are most agree
