I knew I must have some relief or I would soon be in the bod and in a serious condition for I felt so 'badly and was so nervous and weak I could hardly live., My husband asked Dr. about my taking Cardui. He' said, 'It's a good medicine, and good for that trouble', so he got me 5 bot tles.. .After about the second bottle I felt greatly Improved. ..beforo taking 't my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep.

E 74 EDIBLE FRUITS Of OUR FOREST TREES Washington, Nov. 12.-It is said that Daniel Boone an4 some of our other early pioneers could go into the wilderness with only a rifle and a sack of salt and live in comfort on the game and, other wild food which the woods afforded. While few people want to- try that sort of thing nowadays, persons who know the food value of the fruits of our native trees and shrubs are, according to foresters, able to use them to good advantage in supplementing other foods.

' First: in im portance, of course, are, our native nuts-beech nuts, butternuts; wal nuts, chestnuts and chinquapins, hazel nuts, and several kinds of hick ory nuts, including pecans. The ker nels of all of these are not only toothsome but highly nutritious and are used by vegetarians to replace meat. The oil of the beech nut is said to be little inferior to olive bil, while that of butternuts and walnuts was used by some of the Indians for various purposes. The Indians, it is said, also formerly mixed chestnuts with cornmeal and made a bread which was baked in corn husks, like tomales. In parts of Europe bread is made from chestnuts alone. The chestnut crop 'in this country is be ing reduced each year by the chest nut-blight disease which in some sec tions is gradually killing out the tree. Acorns are -commonly thought to be fit only for feeding hogs, but many kinds of them can be made edible and nourishing for people -as well. The Indian custom was to pound or grind the acorns up and leach out the tannin, which makes mdst -of them unfit for eating when raw, by treating the pulp with hot water. The resulting flour, which contained considerable starch, was made either into a porridge or baked in small cakes of bread. As a rule, the acorns of the various white oaks having less tannin are the ones best suited fot food, but Indians also used those of the black oaks, even though they contain much tannin. The acorns of the basket or cow oak, the chinquapin oak, shin or Rocky Moun tain oak, live oak, and of several other species, are sweet enough to be eaten raw. Another nut which is not suited for eating raw, but from which a palat able food is said to have been pre pared by the Indians is the buckeye. The kernels of these nuts were dried, powdered, and freed of the poison which they contain when raw by fil tration. The resulting paste was either eaten cold or baked. Several western pines have seeds which play an important part in the diet of the local Indians. Perhaps the best known of these is the fruit of the nut pine or pinon which forms ALKING MACHINE?

PROVED VALUE TO TIER Says "Tanlac I)id Make a Great Im provement in My Condition." "I just think the world of Tanlac as a general tonic and stomcah reme dy, and am glad to recommend it," declared Miss Lilla Shelton, of No. 6, Saco St., Greenville, in a stats mont. "I took Tanlac for a general ly run down condition and chronic appendicitis. I had been in bad health about two years and I suffered a great deal with indigestion. I was as nervous as could be. I never ate any thing at all hardly. In fact, I ate just like a bird-a little at a time. I suffered awfully with headaches, too. "The Tanlac greatly improved my condition in a very short time. It made me sleep better than I had slept in two years, for it quieted my nerves. The Tanlac gave me a good appetite, too. I began to sleep all night long, and my whole system was built up and strengthened. The medicine certainly did make a great improvement in my condition."

Rhame; Sum nerton.--adv. the basis for a local industry of some size. Not only is it extensively eaten by local settlers and Indians, but large quantities are shipped to the cities where the seed is roasted and sold on the street. The similar seed of the Parry pine and the large Dig ger pine seeds are eagerly sought by the Indians. The latter tree is said to have gained its name from its use as a food by the Digger Indians. The seeds of the longleaf pine nie edible and are improved by roasting. In deed, it may be said that most nuts are more digestible when roasted than if eaten raw. One of the best known fruits, the foresters say, is the persimmon, which is edible only after it is thor oughly ripe. As this is usually not until late in the fall, it is commonly thought that the fruit must be frost bitten. If the persimmon is eaten before it is well ripened, the tannic acid which the fruit contains has a strongly astringent effect, which jus tifies the story of the soldier in the Civil War who said he had eaten green persimmons so as to shrink his stomach up to fit his rations. The pawpaw, or custard apple, is also best when thoroughly ripe. The fruit of some species of haws is eaten or pre served in different parts of the coun try, while those of several different kinds of wild cherries have a food value and are used for various pur poses. Wild plums are abundant in certain esetions and occur in particu larly plentiful quantities along the streams in the Eatr and Middle Western States. Several varieties of wild crab ap ples make delicious jellies. Some of the largest, which attain the size of small aplesC5 are more or less abund ant throughout eastern North (Caro lina. Elderberries are fre(Iuent ly usedl for pies and for sauce. Those found in the West are swveeter~ andl have a better flav'or than the eastern varieties. The berries of the hackberry, or sugar berry, as it -is called in the South, are dIry hue have an agreeable taste. Those of t he mulberry ar swveet and juicy when ripe. Tlhe mul berry is valued in some sections for feeding hogs and poultry and some sp)ecies are occasionally cultivated. Many people1 like the fruit of the shad bush, "sarvice" berry, or Junae berry, as it is variously called. In parts of the country this fruit is used to make jelly. The F'rench Canadians are sa id to use the acid flowers of the redbud, or Jludas tree, in salads, while the buds and tendler p~ods ar'e pickled in vine gar. Honey locust pads, often local ly called "honey-sucks," contain a sweetish, thick, cheeselike pulp, which is often eaten. Those of, the mesquite furnish the Mexicans and Indians with a nutritious food. The Creoles of Louisiana, famous for their cook ery, are reported to use the young buds of the sassafras as a substitute for okra, in thickening soulgs.

Electric street signs an electric signs operated by merchant that are necessary when their store are open, will not be affected. Hun dreds of thousands of tons of coa will, it is expected, he saved by cur tailment of electric sign advertising Dr. Garfield expects to get actio: against nonessential users of coa both by this and other direct order to classes, and through priority or diers to the railroads. He issued to night a rating of all coal users, t show theorder in which they will re ceive their fuel. Industries That Come First. Shipbuilding plants and aeroplan factories come first.
