DRESSMAKER HAD TO QUIT SEWING Handi Swollen with RheujnatiMn Pity this poor dressmaker! Nine-tentha of her work consists «f sewing â€" and she was not able to sew. Rheumatism in her hands was her trouble, and she tried any number of remedies. Bit nothing helped much â€" until she came to Kruschen. "Three-and-a-half years ago," shfe writes, "I had a violent attack of rheumatic pains. My feet and hands were swollen. The pain was terrible. I was really quite crip- pled and helpless. **! 'tried many remedies without success. Then I started on Krus- chen Salts, and after one month, I could stand up again. Then I walked with a cane. In three months, I was quite well again. As I am a dressmaker, you can imagine what it meant to me not to b« able to work my sewing machine. What a treat to be able to walk, to work, and to be free from pain." â€" (Mrs.) E. S. The stabbing pains of rheuma- tisn are often caused by needle- pointed crytals of uric acid lodg- ing in the joints. Kruschen brings relief because it helps to dissolve those troubling crystals and to ex- pel them from the system. What Science * Is Doing * WORLDS STRONGEST FABRIC A glass marble weighing one- third of an ounce and drawn out into a filament 120 miles long can be woven into the strongest fab- ric in the world. A pull of one million pounds is required to break a square inch of this glass stuff when woven like thin cloth. In the process the glass is spun like cotton or wool yarn, and pro- duces continuous fabrics that re- semble silk or rayon in appear- ance. ALLY IN TREATING CANCER Scientists investigating the structure of the atom are now able to produce intense beams of arti- ficially energized, high speed sub- atomic particles which will prove powerful allies to X-rays and ra- dium in treating cancer. Recent research indicates the nucleus of the atom is a tightly-packed core of particles called neutrons and protons, jammed together by ener- gies many millions of times great- er than those in the atom itself, and having a density a million, million times that of water. This revolutionary discovery. it is realized, unfolds before the scientist an entirely new re- gion in which to pursue investiga- tion and test contentious theories. r4ASS PRODUCTION AIRPLANES A secretly dcvtlopcd pruoess based on plastics is being tried out to manufacture eight or ten planes a day. They had been flown suc- cessfully for more than a year. The new method is based on the moulding of thin veneers of wood into compound curvatures under heat. Mass production of 'ten fusel- ages a day could be started in two weeks or a month it is said. HOW COLD AFFECTS BODY Interested in finding out how the body reacts in cold climates. Dr. Raymond W. Swift of Penn- sylvania State College sent 21 stu- dents into a room-sized refrigera- tor and had them lie on army cots for an hour and a quarter. While the subjects were in their igloos. Dr. Swift tested their metabolism rates. His conclusion : when you shiver, your body's heat produc- tion increases as much as 400 pen cent. â€" and goose pimples are sim- ply the result of the extra effort. Customer in drug store foa Sun- day morning) â€" "Please give me change (or a dime." Druggist â€" "Here you are. I hope you enjoy the sermon." These Wolves Object to Taking Their First Airplane Flight Joe L.Tflamme, eolorl'ul native of northern Ontario, experienced one of the most exciting times of his life when he transported his team of full-grown wolves from Gogoma to Sudbury, via airplane. During the 40-minute flight Joe had his hands full as the wolves fought fierce ly to escape from the plane. It was the first time that the wolf team, the only one in Canada, had left Gogoma, where Joe has been patiently training them since last summer. ^eARD "So your name is George Wash- ington," the old lady asked the amall Negro boy In an American kotel. "Yessum." '"And you try to be exactly like klm, or as nearly as possible? " "Lak who7" "Why. like George Washington." "Ah kalnt he'p bein' lak George WaFhingtoD, 'cause dat's who ah "It your husband wearing a new •uitT" , "No." "But he looks different." •'He !•• He's a new husband." The theatrical touring company gave a performance of "King Lear," •nd the local critic wrote: "If Shakespeare could have seen his play performed, he would have turned in his grave." Next night the same company j did "Othello," and the leading ac- tor thought he had made a hit this time, until he opened his paper and read: "We thank the company at the Buskin Theatre. Shakespeare Jt DOW on his back again.'' An unemployed actor finally landed a small part In a new shov/ the other day and now he says he's so happy he feels as though he*s walking on leather. Student â€" ''A full grown man has S3 teeth." Teacher â€" "Wrong. The answer is U teeth." . . Studen!â€" "Ab! But this man be- longs to the Rotarians!" According to a writer the new poor still cling to their pride. They always send the wolf round to the delivery en- trance. What People Ate In 15th Century Menu of a Banquet During That Period Reads Like a Store Catalogue â€" Guests Sat For Several Days. It is amazing and amusing to read that when George Neville was installed .Archbishop of York in 1466 he made a mighty feast at which 3,500 sat down, and contin- ued sitting, more or less, for sev- eral days. The bill of fare included 80 oxen, 1,000 sheep, 300 calves, 2,000 pigs, 400 deer, 3,500 capons, and a tew other trifles! The average banquet of that age had a menu like a catalogue of a present-day store. A menu for the less robust appetites was: "A doz- en tastles of red deer in a dish, tarte, giuger-bread, and fritters." Used Daggers For Knives Each person had his own knife â€"probably his dagger did duty. Forks were introduced from Italy, and only one or two exclusive peo- ple in England possessed them; Queen Elizabeth had one In her lat- er years. Everyone hacked oft a portion of the joint for himself. Fingers must have played a prominent part In the operation, and this would ac- count tor the punctilious cleansiug ot the hands which characterized the table manners ot the period. Both before and after meals, pages went round to each person with a basin of water and a towel, go that people could wash their hands before touching foods â€" h.v- gienJc precaution which might well be more carefully observed today.

They Denounced First Photograph Just a century ago â€" In January ot 1839, to be exact â€" a French painter, Louis J. Daguerre by name, set up a strange looking piece of apparatus in his studio and produced the first photograph. Artists Astounded Scientific and artistic circles In Paris and London were astounded at the new marvel, and some cler- ics denounced the Invention be- cause ''the Holy Bible prohibited the making ot any likeness ot any- thing upon the earth or in the wat- ers under the earth." Picture-taking In those first days was a far cry from the photography ot today which Is "an art, a science, a species of public service, and a recreation tor Individuals all In one." Amazing Progress The progress during the century has been amazing. A camera Is In practically every home. Motion picture photography, and the mir- acle ot "wirephoto" which makes possible the simultaneous repro- duction ot events and personalities in the news all over the country, to say nothing ot color photography, all Indicate the phenomenal pro- gress achieved since that first day when Daguerre produced the world's first photography, or dag- uerrotype, as it was then called.
