LAMPS BURN
OLD BUTTER
IN THIBET

WOULD anything be more I'M
desirable than rancid but
ter? To us it would be q
great hardship to be obliged to
use butter which had the slight
est suspicion OF not being all it
should be-
But in Thihet-tl1at mysterious
country of Central Asia, where
one woman marries more than
one man, and yet contrives to
keep peace in the strange family
rancid butter holds first place
on the menu.
And when say rancid butter,
I mean butter which is old and
stale and strongly odoriferous!
This is the way they like this
particularly popular article Of
food in that far-away cold north
country.
There they appreciate the age
in butter, as the Western world
II should say Europe-does in
wine. Housewives carefully pack
it in sleeps bladderS and hang
1t up on the rafters, jealousy
guarding 1t and taking pride in
the strength the months give it.
Every Thibetan soldier carries
one of the butter-filled bladders
as the most comforting part Of
his equipment.
For they relish rancid butter
even in their tea. And they are a
great tea drinking race, these
Thibetans. The tea is dried and
nodded in hard bricks weighing
about five pounds. With bag
Of butter. brickbat of tea and
a supply of tsamba-or parched
barley meal-a Thibetan can face
any distance or hardship with a
smile.
The rancid butter has many
uses. It is worked into various
shapes. and placed on the affairs
in their temples as ornaments.
AS cosmetic. rancid butter Is
considered a necessity by the
Thibetans. They smear their
bodies and faces with 1t in win
ter until they literally shine.
But this is not all. For in Thi-
bet, when the sun goes down and
it grows dark, the housewife fills
her lamp with her precious but
ter, because that Is what they
use for illumination-lamp light
ed by butter.

Tense of the body, at its most vul-
nerable point"
Let us here remind ourselves
that by "epithelium" is meant 3
skin or covering. The outside
skin of the body is one of these
epithelial membranes. And all
the free surfaces inside the body
have covers similarity constituted.
The mucous members in the
mouth and nose is epithellum.
Epithelium consists of living cells

Great Defending Wall.
Now, says Professor Macullur11.
in effect, the defending wall along
which the danger is greatest, Is
not the outside skin of the body,
nor the more popularity familiar
mucous membranes, but 1t .is the
wall of epithelial cells surround
ing the intestines. There is the
citadel that offers the greatest
portal to disease.
eff this portal could be kept
always closed, old age might De
indefinitely postponed and bodily
vigor maintained for a much long
err period than it is now"
It is the toxic (poisonouO &C
ton of bacterial infections enter
ing when the portal is not Kept
properly closed, that is the chief
cause of failure of the heart. the
liver, the kidneys, the nervous
system and so on, to keep health
ly active for an indefinitely long
period of time.
Naturally, anybody knowing
these things must be anxious TO
help all he can in holding the
line of defense. He can help by
paying some attention to his diet.
'It is probable, says Prof, Macal-
lum, that excess of diet, especial
ly in It's protein constituents,
may task the capacities Of the
epithelial cells and diminish
their power to react normally.
with the result that they allow
to pass through them and to the
underlying tissues, and the cir
culation. the products OF intes-
final putrefaction which in their
healthy, vigorous condition, they
do not permit to enter them"
Bread and meat furnish most
OF the protein that we eat. But,
while by careful experiments one
can regulate his own diet, 1t is

"0O many people make the
mistake of defying and dis
- trusting the doctor. At the
same time their ears are willingly

tions of quacks and soothsay-
ers. The doctor stands between
US and death. That is his bust

over again by the self-sacrifice of
doctors on the firing line of sci
ence, and amidst the perils of hos
pitfalls and pest houses.
In no profession is the esprit
de corps (the spirit Of comrade.

than among the doctors. 1t is so
for the reason that that spirit is
strong among soldiers, for it is
based upon the consciousness that
those. who share it are trained and

No science is now advancing

The layman naturally asks:

unique, functions which are not
performed by any other organ.

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

0H, give us the man who
sings at his work!
There is no free state where
the laws are not supreme.
Contentment does not mean
less work but more cheer.
If you want a good servant.
take neither kinsman nor friend.
He who is ashamed of his call
ing lives shamefully in it.
A house is not home unless it
contains food and fire for the
mind as well as for the body.
People are not usually better
than the book they read.
Zeal without prudence is like
running in the night.
A thousand probabilities do not
make one truth.
Ill habits gather by unseen de-
grees,
AS brooks make rivers. rivers
run to seas. Dryden.
Who wears his heart upon his
sleeve must expect it will be
bruised.
Even in war, moral power is to
physical power as three parts
out of four.
Frame your mind to mirth and
merriment which bar a thousand
harms and lengthen life.
He who can listen pleased to
much applause pays for Idle air
with sense and virtue.
There is no grace in a benefit
that sticks to the fingers.
The childhood shows the man,
AS morning shows the day.
Milton.
Consistency is q jewel often
Haunted by the fool
1t is opportunity that brings
out the great man, but he only
is great who prepares for the
opportunity-who knows it will
come-and who seizes upon it
when it arrives.
We are surrounded with things
difficult to understand, and for
fear most people do not look at
them, they will find out they
have to understand them.

safety in the recent municipal cleo
ton, 1881 Seventeenth street, north,
is in Norwood hospital seriously in
jured as the result of an accident at
Twenty-first avenue and Twenty
sixth street, north, in which his auto
mobile was struck by a fast moving
steamer fire truck of station No. 9,
driven by Fireman T. L. Gibson, at IL
o'clock Friday morning.
Hospital attaches stated that Dfns-
more sustained fractured right arm
and broken left shoulder. There
are possibilities of internal injuries.
His condition was regarded as serious
late Friday night.
Detectives R. G. Patton and Jake
McGill, who were witnesses to the ac-
cident, stated that the truck was
travelling at an unusually high rate
or speed north on Twenty sixth
street and was not blowing its horn
or ringing bell. Dinsmore was turn
ing his car south on Twenty sixth
street from the east side of Twenty
first avenue, and was struck by the
truck and knocked approximately SO
feet, the witnesses said. After the
accident, the truck got beyond con-
troll and ran into a residence yard at
the intersection, tearing down the
fence. No other persons were in
jured.
Capt. p. e. Glover, in charge of the
fire truck, said that the vehicle was
in plain view OF the injured man and
that he ran his car directly in front
OF 1t. The exhaust pipe on the track
was open and was creating deafen-
ing noise, Captain Glover said, and
could be heard over all other usual
noises.
The firemen were answering a call
to the AmericanfCas Iron Pipe COM
pany shops in Acipco when the acct
dent occurred. The fire at the shops
was confined to an clubhouse, which,
although destroyed, was regarded as
OF small consequence by the pipe
company officials. Origin of the fire
Is unknown. Loss was covered by
insurance.
