- GREAT MEDICINAL
VALUE OF FRUITS. -
THAT fruits possess great medici-
nal value is the belief and boast
of many vegetarians.
Grapes they say are an unfailing
remedy for anemic or nervous people.
Hundreds of sufferers try this cure
every year in Switzerland with satis-
factory results. Apples again are ex-
cellent as a blood purifier and be it
whispered as a cure for the craving
for intoxicants.
If you suffer from gout they advo-
acte a poultice of currant leaves and
black currant jelly in hot water for
sore throat.
They believe in pineapples in cases
of diphtheria strawberries for rheu-
matism. mulberry juice for fevers el-
derberries for chills and lemon juice
for colds and certain internal com-
plaints.

B “I tried many cough remedies and finally sought the advice of a phy- ■
S slcian. I took his medicine for six weeks but did not seem to be able H
I to throw off the cold. ■

H well of It. I found that It relieved the trouble In a few days and lam glad K

T. T. —If you think you are a “has
been" instead of an "is yet" your case
is hopeless. If you have your health
and the desire to learn all things are
possible. A woman doesn’t know how
bright and charming she can be until
she tries. Don’t borrow other peo-
ple's opinions. Do your own think-
ing. You are as capable as your rela-
tives when it comes to making de-
cisions. Nobody knows you as well
as you know yourself. Anvway. stand
on your own feet Don’t lean on oth-
ers. You are in the rut and the lon-
ger you stay there the deeper you
sink in.
M. L.—Fat is the penalty for over-
eating. You must develop self control
and put yourself on a diet. It is easy
enough after the first few days of par-
tial starvation. You can take a liter-
ary course in a correspondence school.
Such a step would help you greatly in
acquiring a good education.
G. H. J. —Bathing the face too often
is sure to make the surface roue!)

weather. Have your thorough elbow-
grease scrubbing at night going over
your countenance with a correct com-
plexion brush warm water and pure
soap. Rinse with warm water to re-

Reader—Bv using the faculties gi£-
en to us to maintain our well being we
can cultivate health and need not be
afflicted with the results of wrong
living. A sound body does not take
diseases or get them or breed them
Rieht thinking and right living mean
right body and that means health.
Individuals who dress too warmly are
always suffering from colds. The
body that is In good health will re-
sist exposure to chilly winds.
Anxious—The spoiled child Is a
bother to everybodv and a trouble to
himself. Considering the large pop-
ulation of the globe it does not stand
to reason that one particular child is
so much beyond all the others. When
you give an order to a child or serv-
ant see that that order is carried out
to th" letter. If your child refuse* to
mind you make him mind. Deprive
him of some toy or amusement. Se-
vere punishment is not necessary. A
child soon learns if a parent means
business.

HOW THE NAMES OF
FABRICS ORIGINATE.'
IN connection with the insistently
clinging character of velvet it may
be noted that this stuff takes its
name from the Italian 'veluto." shag-
gy. offering in this respect a parallel
with "satin." which comes from the
Isatin "seta” a bristle.
As a general rule it is pretty safe
to guess that the name of a dresa ma-
terial comes from some place. Be-
sides such obvious cases as "astra-
khan." "cashmere.” and "tweed” there
are "fustian” (the humble analogue
of velvet) from Fustat (Cairo); “mus.
lin.” from Mosul in Mesopotomia;
"damask” from Damascus and "cam
brie.” from Cambria while "millinery”
itself is from Milan.
The case of silk Is a curious one.
It is “sericum” the stuff obtained
from the Seres or Chinese; but these
people seem to have been named in
ancient Greek after the Chinese word
for a silkworm.
