Many persons; consider Ireland the
borne of the potato, which has become
such n ncessnry part of the average
American's diet. The plant came to
this country from the highland of Co
lombia and Peru, a section of the world
which lias furnished a number of the
best known mid most widely cultivated
vegetables of the present time. The to
mato was Introduced from Peru back
in Civil War days, when Ignorant peo
pie hud an idea that It was a poisonous
plant. Agricultural statistics of the
past year show that superstitious fear
of the tomato' iins disappeared sulli
t'ieiitly to encourage the growing of
this popular food on finn.oiK) acres. The
limn bean is another vegetable of popu
lar consumption which came from the
Bitnie South American country, having
been Introduced here about eighty-five
years 11 so. Certain sections of the
country have come to grow limn beans
in such prolusion that farmers huve
been able to obtain special railroad
rates for sending their crop to city
market. Thousands upon thousands
of dollars Invested In the orange groves
of California and Florida obtained that
opportunity for Investment in conse

of a horticultural expert on the ground.
Thousands of grafted trees now grow

as fruit producers of the lirst grade to
this one lonely tree which nearly suc
cumbed to the frost eleven year ago.
The experiment hns reached such a
stage that the marketing of a crop Is
pxppcted by another season. Mangoes
offered In delicatessen shops to-day are
isdaii-el by the expert as unworthy
of the name, which will be lived up to

Some specimen are already growing
in Hawaii, as in .Tamalca and Trini

as yet. The niatigosteen has a delicate
flavor and attractive appearance, but
lacks a sturdy root system which will
make It commercially practicable. To
discover a representative of this spe

of fibre required and on which the del
icate niangosteen can be grafted, is
now the work of the investigators.

The rind is of a purple brown shade

EVEN IN THE THIRD STAGE
It Is Claimed That the Dreaded

born In Rahway, N. J., But for twenty-five
years tho professor haH prac

the West Indies and South America.
"I am fully satisfied, " said tho pro
fessor, "after long experience, that
consumption Ib neither a contagious,
Infectious nor Inherited disease.
Children born of consumptive par
ents Inherit only a predisposition to
consumption, but not tho disease It
self, which Is developed In many such
children after birth.
"Tho consumptive microbe can
never live In tho open air, for It a

Is thrown off by respiration Into the

"The Bermuda onion, by reason of
Its culture and ingredients, contains
marvelous curative properties of n
mild, oily taste and a specific, for the
dread disease. The onion i grown
in a specially prepared bed, chiefly
of the meal of the castor bean ground
up. The onion growing in this soil
becomes medicated and a great blood
tonic, restoring the weakest stomach,
building up tho nerves throughout
the human system.
"This is til! process. After one
eats tho onion the gases arising dur
ing sleep arf Inhaled Into the air
sacs of the lungs, destroying the con
sumptive microbes. In no other way
can these deadly parasites bo killed
without Injury to tho delicate lining
of the stomach, the intestines, tis
sues, etc. One In the first stages of
consumption eaiing two or three Ber
muda onions u day with a llttlo salt
will immediately begin to rally.
Slices of tho onion placed between
two pieces of buttered bread and
eaten as n sandwich will effect a pos
itive cure in from thrco to f-ur
weeks.
"In the socond stageB of consump
tion it will require about thr'o
months to effect a cure. All washes
and drains of the system must be
avoided no brandy, whisky or oilier
Intoxicating liquors allowed.
"In the third since of the terrible
disease the onions should bo eaten
faithfully for four months, observing
the same abstinence from liquors of
all kind -.
"During the third stage tonics for
the stomach, liver, heart and bladder
should be taken. After careful In
vestigations, extending through a
Beriea of years and visiting patients
In all parts of tho southern country.
I am convinced that, tho present
treatment of consumptives is wrong
especially the use of cold air, which

KOBMAt. TKMfKUATl BK KKgrillKD.
"Tho lungs require a norma! tem
perature of 9S.4 Fahrenheit of tem
peraturo to sustain lifo In consump
tive patients. The cold, open-air
treatment which is Insisted on, with
out guago or regard to tho intensity
of the cold upon tho superheated
lungs of from 102 to 103 tempera
ture, Is sure to cause congestion and
pueumnni?., if tho temperature fulls
two degrees be'.ow normal. It Is
nothing short of manslaughter to ex
pose a weak, emaciated, consumptive
patient to such a rigor of tempera
ture. "jvtiotber outrage la tho use of cre
osote, expecting it when administered
into the Btoniath to destroy tho ba
cilli infesting tbo lungs and its tis
sues. My investigation proves that
creosote, as usually prescribed, de
stroys! the beneficial mucous cout
Ing of tho lungs nnd stomach, leav
ing tho organs In such a condition
that when tho patient partakes of
food usually causing the gastric juice
And digestive acids to flow Into tho
uncovered stomach and Intestines,
Irritation invariably seta up and the
severe pains take the patient's appc
titi, Coascquently the organs and
tissues most needing food and boat
are robbed and loft raw and unnour
iBhsid. Then the body begins to waste
and the terrlblo emaciation and night
sweata ure increased.
"The third and equally harmful
remedy la the Indigestible cod liver
oil so often administered. It is
greasy and '.inuseatlng, clogs the sys
tem and should never be used by
consumptives. Tho organs are in a
low state, especially the liver and
the stomach, and digestion becomes
more difficult when cod liver oil Is
administered. Tho thing moBt need
ed by the consumptive Is ability to
digest food and nourish the wasting
organs of tho body. Cod liver oil
ciutjh auu prevents certain gases
from passing out of tho system. Con
sequcntly the gases remain, lifting
the heart's wall and causing a terri
ble depression so common to con
sumptives nnd Invalids using cod
liver oil. Bnsy digestion Is abso
lutely necessary to the consumptive;
therefore, 1 repeat, that the open-air
treatment, tho creosote and tn iori
liver oil additions should bo aban
doned and tho patient treated ra
tionally and scientifically.
"I agree with Trof. Koch, a great
German scientist, as to the bacilli
which consume lung tissue, but. not
sufficiently to produce death. The
direct cause of death In all con
sumptive cases Is either Inflamma
tion, congestion, pneumonia or pleur
isy, usually brought on by Improper
ttso of drugs and exposure to extreme
cold, to draughts and unhealthy atmosphere."

' tures. A scientist has lately found in
Southern India a species of spiders
that builds sisingy nests with outlying
' webs, each nest being occupied by forty
to one bundled spiders, with a large
t excess of female ; sometimes five or
I six nests are clustered together. The
' spiders not only live and work to

other any prey that may be captured,
and some even show maternal nffc :tlon

turer, by mean of various shaped lit
tle models, fmin two to four Inches
long. These are cut from aluminum

Concrete piles of an unusual form
have recently been tested in New York.
According to Hie Iron Age they are
made by spreading a layer of concrete
on wire fabric to which longitudinal
; rods are attached at Intervals. The
j fabric is immediately rolled up in a
special machine of simple construction,
j and the pile then laid aside to harden.
; It thus contains, in addition to the
! fabric, any desired number of vertical
! rods. In a cross-section of the pile
1 the fabric lies spirally from the inside
! to the exterior of the ct rote. If so
i desired any one of the rods may be
: made a hollow tube, thus allowing for
; the use of the water jet.

-New Treaty Willi Mexico Gives Amer
icans Lion's Share.
Secretary Root for tho United
Si ate.- and Ambassador Casasus for
the Mexican Government. Bicned a
treaty regulating the use of tho wnt-
ers of the Rio Grande, which wilt
movo what has been for twenty years
a snttrco of frlctloi in the relations
of tbo two countries.
For nlmost a century tho Mexi
cans living alongthe lower river have
made large use of its waters for the
purpose of irrigating their lands. But
In recent years private companies on I
tho upper waters in the Unltod States 1
hive by tho construction of wing
dams diverted a large part of the
water to this side. The Mexicans
have preferred clulms for damage,
but so far without success. Plans of
the reclamation service made it cer
tain that all the water would event
ually be retained on American soil.
Tho underlying principle of tho
conventlon is the recognition of the
common la-w right of tho Mexicans to
tho use of a fair share of the waters
of tho river, but as the United States
Government is put to the entire ex
pense of building the great dam and
cnnals the Mexican share Is only a
fractional proportion of the whole
flow. It Is estimated that tho im
pounded waters will suffice to irri
gate about 200,000 acres of arid
land, and it in stipulated that of this
total 60,000 acre feet of water, which
Is to make arable about 25,000 acres
of land, will be delivered on the Mex
ican side of the border each year.
For lta part the Mexican Government
guarantees the United States Govern
ment against any suit for liability
on account of claims of individual
Mexicans who have so far suffered
through the diversion of water.

RACK TO PC I. PIT
Whnt Food Rid For a Clergyman.
A minister of Ellzabethtown tells
bow Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: "Some 6 years
ago I had an attack of what seemed
to be La Grippe, which left me In a
complete state of collapse and I suf
fered for some tlmo with nervous
prostration. My uppetite failed, I
lost flesh until I was a mere skeleton,
lifo was a burden to me, I lost int"r-
! eBt in everything and almost in
everybody save my precious wife.
j "Then on the recommendation of
some friends I began the use of
j Grape-Nuts food. At that lime I was
; a miserable, skeleton, without appe-
tite and hardly able to walk across
the room; had ugly dreams at night,
j no disposition to entertain or be en
tertained and began to sbun society.
I . "I finally gave up the regular min
istry, indeed I could not collect my
thoughts on any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After I had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time I discovered that I was taking
on new life and my appetite began to
improve; I began to sleep better and
my weight Increased steadily; I had
lost some 50 pounds, but under the
new food regime I have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly Improved in every way.
"I feel that I owe much to Grape
Nuts and can truly recommend , the
food to all who require a powerful
rebuilding agent delicious to taste
and always welcome." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
A true natural road to regain health,
or hold it, is by use of a dish of
Grape-Nuts and cream, morning and
night. Or have the food made into
some ot the many delicious dishes
given in tho little recipe book found
in pkgs. .
Ten days' trial of Grape-Nuts helps
many. "There's" a reason."
Look in pkgs. for a copy of the
famous little book, "The Road to
Wellvllle."
