ODD CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Might Have Been Effective In 1742,
but One Would Hesitate to
Recommend II.

Rheumatism Is associated with a
greater number Of superstitions than
any other complaint.
In Holland there are people who be-
lieve that potato begged or stolen is
an effective preventive, while chest.
nuts are said to possess the same
efficacy.
In the Midlands Of England the
right forefoot Of hare, carried In the
pocket, Is regarded as fine amulet,
and the Cornish villager ia apt to put
his trust in piece of the wood of
the mountain ash.
Perhaps the strangest "cure" for
rheumatism is that which Is to be
found In the "Compleat Housewife, or
Accomplished Gentlewoman's Com
panion"-a work published in 174o !:
Let the party take Of the finest
glazed gunpowcer as much as large
thimble may hold; wet It in n spoon
with milk from the COW, and drink a
good half.pint Of warm milk after 1t /;

FIRST TO COMPRESS FEET
Favorite Of Chinese Emperor, Many
Centuries Ago, Said to Have
Originated the Custom.

j. p. Donovan, authority on Chinese
customs, In all article called . Romance
In Chinese Literature" published In
the Forum, writes:
"The ideal of beauty and the mark
Of gentility for n woman used to be
small feet, the compression of which
was not imposed by law but was IL
craze of fashion, as slender waists
were at one time in England, Several
accounts are given as to the origin Of
the custom of foot-binding, but proba-
bly, the following is the correct one:
1T is said that Yao Niang, the beau
tiful concubine Of Emperor Ii Yu (975
A. d., was light and graceful in all
her movements, being able to dance
with ease and elegance. She gave so
much pleasure to her lord and master
that he caused to be made golden lily
flowers with movable petals for YaO
Niang to walk on from her apartments
to the palace. To crafty the emperor
still further. she compressed her feet.
In order that they might look like a
lily bud unopened, until they were
three inches long"

WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS
OF MUCH IMPORTANCE

Tread-Tubes Should Re-

ing in preparation for summer use.
The attention required for tires in
this spring renovation is very limited
and simple.
One of the first and most important
is to get the front wheels into proper
alignment. Bad alignment is one Of the
principal causes Of tire injury. The
first symptom Of mjsalignment is rapid
wear In the center of the tread. Ex-
animation of the alignment should in
clude an investigation to see that there
are no loose bearings, for loose bear
ing means a wobbly wheel.
Examine the castings Of tires for
cuts. If cuts are filled with heal-a-
cut dough the cuts will not grow big
ger.
Tubes should receive special atten-
tion, for once they have been placed in
side the castings they are forgotten.
Test the tubes for slow leaks. Put
new plungers in the valves, even If the
old ones appear satisfactory. The rub
Der washers In the plunger become stir
and hard after time and 1t is good
policy to change them at least once
year.
The pump should be tested, especial
ly the rubber tubing and the connec-
tions. If the leather piston head in
your hand pump has dried up 1t may
be softened by liberal application of
vaseline. If 1t is gone beyond help you
can get new leather at supply
store. The same advice as to inspec-
ton of connections applies in the case
of mechanical pump attached to the
engine. See that the pump Is well
oiled, especially in the cylinder, but
avoid excess oil, as 1t may find Its way
into the inner tube.

Slump in MICROSCOPES.

The general depression in the op-
tical trade is being felt very severely
by British microscope makers, most
of whom are working with reduced
staffs. Some are only working alter
nate weeks. This is partly due, no
doubt, to overproduction during the
war, when large number of micro
scopes were supplied to the order of
the government, but even taking this
into account the demand Is now abb
normally small. With hospitals pow
erty is natural excuse. but in other
cases, such as that of schools, It is not
so easy to explain why so few new
instruments are being purchased. Ac-
cOrding to one large firm the great
majority of microscopes now pur-
chased are for purposes connected
with mineralogy.-Manche Guar.
