INLAND CHEMICAL CO., Lititz.
(WASHINGTON STAB.)
r AST spring, when the crocuses
I 1 and hyacinths were beginning to
pop, Mr. Jobson harked back to
the days of his youth in proposing
a method of treating Mrs. Jobson's
annual attack of spring fever, which
caused her to feel languid, heavy and
depressed.
It's the state of your blood that
causes that 'dopey' feeling," said Mr:
Jobson. " Your blood's too thick"
What you want is something to thin
your blood. 'Member how the mothers
of young ones twenty or thirty years
ago used to make the shavers take
a tablespoonfull of sulphur and mo-lasses
for their blood every morning be-fore
breakfast as regularly as the spring
came around ?"
"Yes, I remember," said Mrs, Job-son,
with a shudder.
"Well, that's what you want—sul-phur
and molasses," said Mr. Jobsoni
in his usual cock-sure manner. " I
tell you what, those old-fasliioued
remedies were all right; and if the
know-it-all folks of the present genera-tion
would only revert to what they
call the 'old-fashioned' methods of their
fathers and mothers in the prevention
and treatment of disease, there'd be a
blamed sight less sickness in the world,
and a lot o' these doctor people would
be driving drays for a living. What
you want, Mrs. Jobson, what you ab_
solutely require, and what I'm going
to see that you take for this lassitude,
attributable to over-thick blood, is sul-phur
and molasses, in tablespoonful
doses, every morning before breakfast,
for a month or so. When you get
through with the treatment you won't
recognize yourself."
That is probably true, I'll be so
covered with boils," said Mrs. Jobson.
Boils?" exclaimed Mr. Jobson.
" Well, what better luck could you pos-sibly
have, I beg to inquire, then to
get a lot of boils—the more the better ?
If the sulphur and molasses treatment
caused the appearance of the boils,
wouldn't that be a dead-certain indica-tion
that you were in need of the treat-ment.
Boils, Mrs. Jobson ? Don't you
know that every boil we have is worth
a crisp, new $10 note, and cheap at- the
price? Boils? You've heard that old
adage about their being 'better out than
in ?' I know what's good for you, Mrs.
Jobson, and I don't know how you'd
possibly make out if I didn't happen to
be constantly on the lookout in earing
for your health. I'll get a couple o'
pounds of sulphur on my way up from
the office this afternoon, and during
the day you can get a big jug of old-fashioned
molasses—none o' these fancy
syrup concoctions, remember, but reg-ular
old-time black molasses—and we'll
mix the medicine up to-night, and you
can begin taking it to-morrow morn-ing."
"Why, aren't you going to take it,
too?" inquired Mrs. Jobson in a tone
of surprise.
"Me take it?" said Mr. Jobson.
" What for ? What do I want with it?
I 'm feeling as skittish as a yearling colt
just turned loose in a field of red clov-er.
I don't need any spring medicine.
If I did I'd take sulphur and molasses
three times a day and enjoy it. Fact
is, I feel rather sore over the fact that
I don't need it. I like it. When Iwas
a boy I used to get up early on spring
mornings, so's to be the first in line
when my mother was ready to dish us
youngsters out our matutinal doses of
sulphur and molasses. I've got the
right thing, Mrs. Jobson, and you'll
come to me and thank me for suggest-ing
it to you about a month from now,
when you'll be feeling so good that
you'll want to go out on the front side-walk
and jump the skipping rope with
the little girls arid play jacks and bean
bag with 'em."
Notwithstanding, all of which Mrs.
Jobson didn't look particularly cheer-ful
over the sulphur and molasses
prospect. Hhe well remembered how,
as a little girl she had often been
tempted to run away from home and
become a great opera singer or some-thing
because her old-fashioned mother
mercilessly forced her and her brothers
and sisters to gulp down every morn-ing
during the first month or so of
spring a heaping tablespoonful of the
sticky, gritty, sour-tasting sulphur and
molasses concoction. She recalled how
it had always put her teeth on edge and
the aftermath of boils.
But when Mr. Jobson brought home
a big package of sulphur that after-noon
she had the jug of molasses ready
and she lodged no protest. Mr. Jobson
mixed the mess himself in a big crock
ery pitcher. He saw to it that she
swallowed a big tablespoonful of the
awful stuff the next morning there
after at the same hour for a couple
weeks. He only permitted the treat-ment
to cease when a large and very
painful boil appeared on Mrs. Jobson
neck.
"Now that the medicine's had its
effect," said Mr. Jobson with a triurn
phant expression, when she told him
about the boil, " you can drop the treat-ment.
It's just as I told you. The ap-pearance
of the boil clearly indicates
that you needed sulphur and molasses
the worst way, and if you were able to
view the matter from a proper stand-point
you wouldn't take a new, crisp
$10 bill for that boil, or twice the
amount, for that matter."
The boil caused Mrs. Jobson great
misery, and she had finally to call in a
physician to attend to it.
A few weeks ago Mr. Jobson began
to complain to Mrs. Jobson of feeling-ing
" dopey " and "all gone" and "dog
tired " and as having that " weary, not-fit-
to-live " feeling.
" I know what you want," said Mrs.
Jobson, with a twinkle in her eye
" It's sulphur and molasses."
" Who, me ?" said Mr. Jobson, for the
moment forgetting his advocacy of that
sovereign remedy last year. "Not
much do I. I wouldn't take a dose of
that denied stuff—er well it's all right,
of course "—Mr. Jobson had suddenly
recalled the stand he had taken for
sulphur and molasses the preceding
spring—" but it isn't what I need. My
blood's all right. I'm overworked,
that's all, slaving and toiling to keep
this establishment together. Anyhow,
sulphur and molasses is not adapted to
the needs of men. It's a woman's
remedy. Nope, I guess I'll drop by the
doctor "this evening on the way up and
have him look me over."
Mr. Jobson did call upon his doctor,
who told him that he was all right,
and only suffering from a mild attack
of laziness, due to the balmy spring
zephyrs.
Last Sunday morning Mr. Jobson be-gan
to feel a red lump on the back of
his neck. He didn't say anything
about it, but ho kept feeling it all-day.
He got home from the office
early on Monday afternoon, and he
couldn't move his head a quarter of an
inch to one side or the other.
Why, what on earth is the matter ?''
said Mrs. Jobson, alarmed, when he
entered the house with a long face and
a heavy tread.
"Oh, nothing," said Mr. Jobson,
except that I've got a triple-screw,
quadruple-expansion carbuncle or
tumor on the back of my neck—that's
all."
" Let me see," said Mrs. Jobsour and
she looked at the back of his neck.
Why, it's only a little, ordinary
boil," she said.
"Is, hey?" growled Mr. Jobson,
'.Well, if its only a little, ordinary
boil it's doing the thumpingest business
for a little, ordinary boil that you ever
heard of!"
Why, it's not half as big as the one
I had last year," said Mrs. Jobson.
Think so?" growled Mr. Jobson.
' Perhaps it isn't big enough to suit
you ? Perhaps you'd like to have it as
big as a coffee-cup ?"
But, said Mrs. Jobson, unable to
keep the twinkle out of her eye, " boils
are such good things, you know ! Aren't
they'better out than in?' .Now, if you
were able to view the matter from a
proper standpoint, you wouldn't take a
new, crisp $10 note for that boil, and—"
Mr. Jobson turned his whole body
around so that he could gaze at Mrs.
Jobson sternly.
" Now, I know I was right in my sur-mise,"
said he, hoarsely. " I hesitated
before permitting myself to believe it,
but the manifest delight with which
you view my suffering compels me to
the belief that you are responsible for
my misery. It is difficult to conceive,
Mrs. Jobson, that you could be guilty
of so mean a revenge, but I hadn't
a particle of doubt in life that you've
been feeding me a double tablespoonful
of sulphur and molasses in my coffee
every morning for the past three
weeks."
FRUIT CURES.
A Beneficent Agency.
More than 20 per cent, of the men
discharged from the service of New
York Central Railroad Company twen-ty
years ago were dropped from the
rolls for drunkenness. Now, however,
with 30,000 men in the employ of the
company, less than 1 per cent, of those
annually discharged owe the loss of
their situations to over-indulgence in
liquor. This change in conditions is
said to be largely due to the beneficent
influence of the Railroad Department
of the Young Men's Christian Associa-tion.

Tlie Effect on Health of Almonds
Grapes and Strawberries.
According to a celebrated health ex
pert, blanched almonds give the higher
nerve or brain and muscle food, and the
man who wishes to keep up his brain
power will do well to include them in
his daily bill of fare. Juicy fruits give
more or less the higher nerve or brain
food, and are eaten by all men whose
living depends on their clearheaded-ness.
Apples supply the brain with
rest. Prunes arc said to afford proof
against nervousness, but are not
muscle feeding. They should be avoid-ed
by those who suffer from the liver.
But it has been proved that fruits do
not have the same effect upon every-body.
Some men cannot eat apples
without suffering from acute dyspepsia.
Fruit cure" is a form of treatment
which is quite the rage in continental
Europe now with persons suffering
from real or imaginary maladies.
In the tenth century, an investigator
has discovered, many medical authori-ties
because enthusiastic in their writ-ings
over the remarkable curative
virtues of grapes; while a certain Van
Sweeten, of a more modern date, is said
to have recommended in special cases
the eating of twenty pounds of straw-berries
a day. The same gentleman
also reports a case of phthisis healed by
strawberries, and cities cases in which
maniacs have gained their reason by
the exclusive use of cherries. These
instances savor rather of the ridiculous,
but there is no doubt that the so-called
grape cure for indigestion and other
evils is carried on in many places on
the continent, and that people betake
themselves to Meran, Nevay, Bingen,
or to Italy and the south of France,
with the intention of devoting six
weeks to the cure, during which time
they are expected to have gradually
accomplished the feat of consuming
from three to eight pounds of grapes
daily. Grapes are said to exercise a
salutary action on the nervous system
and to favor the formation of fat—that
is to say, when fruit of good quality is
employed; if the grapes are not suf-ficiently
ripe and are watery and sour,
the patient may lose rather than gain
weight. The valuable results obtained
by a fruit diet in cases of dyspepsia are
due to the fact that the noxious germ«
habitually present in the alimentary
canal do not thrive in fruit juices.
That fruit is a most valuable article
of food cannot be denied, and that
many diseases may be greatly benefit-ed
by a diet largely ¡composed of fruit is
true'enough? It is a fact, loo, that the
majority of people eat more meat than
they require. Meat eaten once a day is
sufficient for a person not engaged in
manual labor or who does not take
much strong outdoor exercise. A large
number of the complaints contracted
owe their origin to the consumption of
food which entails a greater drain on
the gastric juices than the system is
able to withstand. The cures attribut-ed
to the grape occur'for the most part
with those who are accustomed to high
living, and are really owing to the fact
that the organs of digestion are given a
much needed rest. Semistarvation,
would answer the purpose almost as
well. For the person whose work lies
chiefly indoors, a mixed and varied diet
is most conducive to good health.
On the Front Seat.
He must have been his mother's
darling. At any rate he was one of
the handsomest, manliest little fellows
who ever wore golden hair that hung
down hig back and a nobby little sailor
suit of white linen. He was kneeling
on the front seat of a St. Charles ave-nue
car on its way home down town
last night, and was in a talkative
mood. The motorman stopped the car
suddenly. " My," said the little fellow,
enthusiastically, " didn't he do that
thing'round fast ?"
Then he asked the gentleman seated
behind him where he was going. On
receiving the desired information the
youngster became confidential, but his
tone didn't.
My name's Allie," he said to the
gentleman. " That's John," pointing
to the boy on the seat beside him
He's 'leven and I'm six, but I'm
the biggest. That's my sister Nellie,
and his forefinger singled out a pretty
girl on the opposite seat, who was
evidently taking a great interest in
what the rattler was saying, " She's
seventeen, and that's her sweetheart
with her. They're going to West
End—"
The girl tried to shut the flow of
words off, but it wouldn't work, and
the boy continued:
I 'm going there, too. So's my
brother. He's going to buy us some
ice cream, 'cause he's stuck on sister.
By this time everybody within sound
of the youngster's voice was laughing,
and that meant nearly everybody in
the ear. Something desperate had to
be done, and the sister yanked the con-versational
youngster from his seat to
her lap and whispered something to
him.
"Say," he called to the gentleman,
sister says I mustn't talk to you any
more on the car. Can't you come out
to West End, too?"
His sister's sweetheart Was thinking
about gagging him when Canal street
was reached and the party left the car.
But it was a picnic while it lasted.

England Not Fond of Corn.
I have seen a few cobs of cooking
maize exposed; for sale at a stand in
Covent Garden, says a writer in a
London newspaper. The price asked
was sixpence for four heads. A few
green garden grocers in the better
quarters of the town also have them
for those who wish to purchase. The
demand is limited, very limited. I am
afraid it will take years to educate the
average Englishman as to the good
qualities of this new vegetable. It is a
great pity, because the sugar corn
could be grown in many parts of Eng-land
with the greatest success.
A Couple.
There was a couple that went fishing,
One-half of it was a man; the second
half was a woman. It went in a row
boat with a pair of oars, which was
also a couple. So that there was a
couple of cduples. The woman half of
the first couple caught a couple of fish.
Then there was three couples. Said
the man part of the first couple:
" We has caught enough fish."
Then it sat down together, aud it put
its arms around it and said:
" Oh, my, don't."
But it didn't act as if it cared much.
Just then the boat ran into a stump
and stopped. This couple was very1
singular for awhile, but finally she said
to it:
" George, my dear, doesn't it think it
is time to go home ?"
I t looked at its watch and said:
" Yes, dearie ! It is !"
Then this couple was plural, while
one of it rowed home.
So a couple is both singular and
plural, just the same.
Father of Sixty Children Dies.
Edward Henry, reputed to be the
oldest man in the country, died at his
home, in a log cabin, on Woodville
avenue, Pittsburg, on Friday, aged 116
years. He was born a slave in Cul-peper,
Va., in 1785, and served in the
Confederate army under General Joseph
E. Johnson. During his long career
he was married five times, and is
survived by his fifth wife, by whom he
had thirteen children. He was said to
be the father of sixty children. All
his life he was addicted to the tobacco
habit, and was a moderate drinker of
intoxicants. His death is the result of
an accident three months ago, when
he was struck by a traction ear.
Solid Facts.
A farmer came iuto a village grocery
in one of our Western States and ex-hibited
to an admiring crowd an enor-mous
egg about six inches long. He
had it packed in cotton and wouldn't
allow anybody to handle it for fear
breaking the phenomenon. The
groceryman examined it with the rest,
and, intending to chaff" the country-man,
said:
Pshaw! I've something in the
egg line that will beat that."
" " I ' l l bet you $5 you haven't," said
the countryman.
"Take it up," said the groceryman;
and, going behind the counter, he
brought out a wire egg-beater.
" There's something in the egg line
that can beat it, I guess," said he,
reaching for the stakes.
" Hold on, there !" said the farmer,
" let's see you beat it," and he handed
it to the grocer.
The latter held out his hand for it,
but dropped it in surprise on the coun-ter,
where it broke two soup-plates and
a platter. It was of iron, painted
white.
" Some folks think they are tarnation
cute," muttered the farmer, "but
'taint no use buckin' against solid
facts."

Things to Forget.
If you would increase your hap-piness
and prolong your life, forget your
neighbors' faults. Forget the tempta-tions.
Forget the fault finding and
give little thoughts to the cause which
provoked it. Forget the peculiarities
of your friends, and only remember the
good points which make you fond
of them. Forget all persons quarrels or
histories you may have heard by acci-dent
and which, if repeated, would
seem a thousand times worse than they
are. Blot out as far as possible all the
disagreeableness of life; they will come,
but they will grow larger when you
remember them, and the constant
thought of acts of meanness or, worse
still, malice, will only tend to make
you more familiar with them. Obliter-ate
disagreeable from yesterday; start
ont with a clean sheet for to-day and
write upon it, for sweet memory's Hake,
only those things which are lovely and
lovable.

Effect of Ice Water.
Many people wonder why it is that
their physicians advise them not to
drink water during meal time. The
fact of the matter is that persons are
not harmed by the water if it is taken
at an ordinary temperature; but most
Americans are not satisfied with this—
they think they must have ice water.
In order to carry on digestion properly,
certain temperature is necessary.
The temperature of the stomach varies
from' 98 to 100" degrees Fahrenheit.
After a meal, the temperature increases
until it is sometimes 102 degrees, while
if the circulation is quickened by exer-cise,
the temperature will be still high-er.
Now, the effect of ice water on the
digestion is very apparent. By contin-ually
drinking this water during a
meal, or indulging in an ice dessert,
the temperature of the stomach will
sometimes be reduced to 95 degrees.
This would stop digestion and event-ually
lay the foundation for such
a disease as dyspepsia. Since foods are
easily digested when they are partially
diluted, it is well to take a drink of
water occasionally during a meal, but
the water should not be iced.
Keep Apples Cool.
The great secret of keeping apples
and pears is a cool temperature, and 35
degrees to 40 degrees will be found
most satisfactory. Usually apples are
left hang too long on the trees and
become too much ripened; then they
lie in hot places, perhaps right out in
the sunshine for weeks until the hot
weather is over; then they are shut up
in a warm, close house cellar, with
a temperature of about 50 degrees and
then the farmer wonders why his
apples do not keep. Let him try
gathering them as soon as matured,
pack them, away at once in a cool place
where the temperature does not rise
above 40 degrees and see whether the
results are not much more satisfactory.
Largest Room in the World.
The largest room in the world, un-der
one roof and unbroken by pillars, is
at St. Petersburg. It is 620 feet long
by 150 in breadth. By daylight it is
used for military displays and a whole
battalion can completely maneuver in
it. By night 20,000 wax tapers give it
beautiful appearance. The roof is
a single arch of iron.

Gentlemen:—Our family realize so
much from the use of Grain-0 that I
must say a word to induce others to
use it. If people arc i uteres ted in their
health and: the welfare of their children
they will use no oilier beverage. I
have used them all, but Grain-O I' have
found superior to any, for the reason
that it is solid grain. 3
