II is ra Their noteworthy that time goes on
Masonic symbolism is growing less and less
volumnous. anyhow.
One has but to examine the details embodied
in the decoration OF old Masonic parchments.
The embroidery OF Aprons and Scarves OF our
Granddaddies days to realize that lavish dis
play of symbolism has gone out OF fashion.
Not only that but the elaborate lectures on
symbolism which still retain place In our
monitors seem TO suffer from blight which
might be specifically diagnosed as owing to
the lateness OF the evening" At any rate. SYM
bolsn is so seldom taken out for an airing
that most young brothers fail to recognize 1t
when they meet it.
This is not, however, the most serious side OF
the matter. There is mass OF ancient SYM
bosm which has been completely forgotten
and is not even remembered by the now living
veterans of the craft
The latter are emblems which have become
obsolete because their eXplanationsl dating
back to the days of exclusively oral instruc-
ton have lapsed from disuse
There is a vast lumber room OF forgotten
Masonic symbolism which must have meant
much to our forefathers judging from the per-
sistence of its employment in early days, but
which is as extinct. far twentieth century
Masonry is concerned, the Dodo and the
great AUX.
Then again many of the symbols which still
remain in plain view have no monitoral ex-
PLANTATION attached to them by which we may
ncle them out and constantly view
ing variations which show that modern lodge
architects possess standard criterion OF
absolute correction. such those who erect
churches and cathedrals still seem to be able
to command.

LOYAL Chesrook fans who saw their

are handing out a bunch Of alibis

beautiful sunset when Wahl ran two
feet out Of bounds on the ten-yard
line on his way TO Ewing's winning
touchdown. Others say that Ewing

n NUMEROUS things which peoples Of other
" nations do not hold worthy of consdera-
ton are being turned into good use by the
Chinese For instance their righteousness in uti-
lizng things of no value whatsoever is shown by
scavengers who collect peach stones in the street.
Children and women to be seen in the mar
kets picking up and treasuring the peach stones.
In the months of May, June and July the women
and children of the poorer class appear in groups
carrying baskets home when filled.
These peach stones have several uses. Broken
into pieces and dried in the they furnish good
fuel. The kernel which has good market value
is sold to the druggists for making medicine.
Another profitable use of the peach stones is
to sell them to native artists or engravers who
carve them into different forms of animals. Some
of the larger stones, however, if round enough,
are carved into fine finger rings which cost be-
tween 20 and 30 cents each Out of one full basket
Of peach stones 10 or Is can be selected as suit
able for engravers and they will be sold at

a good profit

Strange DISEASE That Is DUE to MICE

two Philippine islands in 1908, has been renewed
by the experts of the Kitasato Institute for In
fectious Diseases in Tokyo" the Journal of the
American Medical Association reports. They
have verified the peculiar periodicty of tsutsu-
gamushi, which occurs most frequently in the
summer months beginning with June and ending
with October. This corresponds with the develop
nent of the insect 'akamush' the now assumed
carrier Of the Nippon river fever. This insect
appears to be the arva Of form resembling the
European Leptus autumnalis The summer like
wise is the season when the peasants who suffer
from it enter the infected zones. The insects
which begin to attack human beings in June, are
extremely prevalent until the fall months. The
mortality is variable one, but hason several
sions exceeded so per cent
"The close resemblance of tsutsugamushi dis.
ease to typhus fever and Rocky mountain spotted
fever has been recognized for some time. There
is similarity in the type Of febrile reaction
elected; the peculiar eruptions coincident with
the height of the attack are also reminiscent of
those seen in the better studied typhus-ke in
fections. Indeed, one might be inclined to suspect
a complete identity Of the diseases except for the
recent Japanese Investigations, which assert &
distinction between the river fever and the con-
ventional typhus fever quite marked as that
still postulated between spotted fever and it's
nearest analogues The non-idontty is asserted
primarily on the basis of mmunologic investi-
cations and the failure of infection with one type
to protest against the subsequent occurrence of
the other.
"The role of the field mouse as bearer of the
PARASITIC insects that transmit the etioogic agent
to man and as host of the infectious microorgan-
ISM seems to be established. With respect to
propbylaxis it is difficult to prevent the bites Of
the insects under existing conditions. Excelsior
of the area of the sting does prevent the dis
tribution of the virus. The best prospect of re-
lief seems to lie at present in the eradication Of
the mice so far as this is practicable

out the big stones The smaller ones are broken
I'D and used for fuel when the kernel has been
taken out Sometimes the kernels are sold to
chemists or druggists They are preserved IN
bottles and used as cough medicine after tho
kernels are turned into white powder. In many
small villages this white powder is very cheap
cough remedy.
Another waste material put to use by Chinese
in different towns of each province are oyster
shells. They are in great demand for the manu-
facture of Chinese lime. One "picul" OF such
shells (about 1873 lbs.) costs about 60 cents.
In many towns where there are many Chinese
restaurants scavengers pack oyster shells in BAN.
boo cases. In front corner of Chinese houses
in villages especially those near coast cities, big
baskets are put by scavengers refuse boxes.
When full, they pick out shells and even broken
pottery ware, for everything has market value
in China.
The broken bowls and cracked pottery ware
are broken into small particles and afterward sold
to nasons for making foundations Of strong
walls, after being mixed with cement Many
pretty houses in big seaport cities of Shanghai
Canton and Foochow have walls made of broken
pottery ware mixed with cement

BUTTER Once USED as OINTMENT

from the cream taken from cows milk. In India
pale, insipid butter is made from buffalo milk.
This has to be boiled in order to be clarified and
is called "ghee," substance which is used to
considerable extent for cooking and in sweets
Butter forms an important product in Ameri-
ca, where creameres have largely supplanted
small farm diaries, as scientific study has demon
strated the fact that cream should be carefully
treated in order to develop the proper amount of
Tactic acid and to culture the right kinds of germs
necessary to good butter. The cream, skinned
from fresh milk and permitted to "ripen" for
few days usually, is churned in large machines.
The agitation causes the separation of the butter
fat from the water substance in the cream and
the conclusion of churning breaks the outer skin
of the butter globules, enabling them to adhere
closely together instead of floating about.
Butter, which is one of the most digestible Of
foods if properly prepared contains BATS calories
per pound. Buttermilk, the liquid left after the
butter has been churned, is said to be one of the
healthiest of drinks and is often recommended to
patients suffering from intestinal disorders
