Why Should a Chicken
Lay a Soft-Shelled Egg?
Because, Willie, the chicken don’t know how to create a hard-shelied egg unless
it has some food with lime in it.
So chicken-raisers often provide limestone gravel, broken oyster shells or some
other form of lime.
Let the chicken wander free and it finds its own food and behaves sen..
Shut it up and feed stuff lacking lime and the eggs are soft-shelled.
Let’s step from chickens to human beings.
Why is a child “backward” and why does a man or woman have nervous pros
tration or brain-fag? There may be a variety of reasons but one thing is certain.
If the food is deficient in Phosphate of Potash the gray matter in the nerve cen
tres and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken down by the
.activities of yesterday.
Phosphate of Potash is the most important element Nature demands to unite
albumin and water to make gray matter.
Grape-Nuta food is heavy in Phosphate of Potash in a digestible form.
A chicken can’t always select its own food, but a thoughtful man can select suit
.able food for his children, wife and himself.

TOWEL LEFT IN WOMAN
DURING AN OPERATION
Was Yard Long and Foot Wide
—Patient Now Suing Her
Former Physician.
REMAINED FIVE WEEKS
New York. Special: A towel, a yard
long and a foot wide, with a red bor
3er, was accidentally sewed up inside
Mrs. Mollie Myers when she was oper
ated on in St. Vincent’s hospital in
November, 1905, according to an affl
Javit filed with the supreme court by
Dr. Benjamin Friedman, formerly of
this city, now living In Hungary. Mrs.
Panama in Fact and Fiction.
Every one will admit that success in
Jigging the Panama canal must be at
:ributed largely to the human factor.
Dur government has found efficient
men to do the work, and has succeeded
In maintaining their efficiency. Herein
lies the superiority of our method over
[hat of the French administration. No
well informed person will deny these
broad fact3, and it remains only to give
jredit to whom credit Is due.
There are about 40,000 picked men
md women at work in the canal zone;
So,000 of these are negro laborers from
the adjoining tropical countries, partic
ularly from the British West Indies.
These laborers found a climate to their
liking from the first day, and wages
and food better than most of them had
ever before received. Good treatment
with a negro begets docility and con
tentment which means obedience to law
and common sense regulations. Hence
It is not surprising that these colored
employes—all selected men and pro
verbially healthy in their home country
where poverty and filth Is the rule rath
er than the exception—sjpould have
prospered mightily under cleaner and
happier surroundings. Indeed, would it
pot have been surprising had results
been otherwise? So while it may be
hard to Bay just what part the doctors
have contributed to the well being of
the colored class, the fact can hardly
be denied that they have played a mi
nor role.
The nnme annllufl eprhnns. with
The same applies, pernaps, wim
slight modifications, to the 5,000 Span
ish and Italian laborers. To the south
ern European the tropics have never
presented any terrors and the Latin
people have always been pioneers In
tropical development. That these la
borers, most of whom are Spaniards,
have bettered themselves Industrially
by coming to Panama Is self evident,
so that their case Is practically iden
tical with that of their colored co
laborers—a tribute to good pay, consid
erate treatment and decent surround
ings. Here again the doctor has no log
ical claim to the limelight.
The tropics heretofore have proved a
great magnet to gold seekers, explorers
and various adventurers who have
courted hardship and privation. Is it
any wonder that the death rate was
high amon^r men who endeavored to
traverse Impenetrable jungles, who fre
quently set out unprovided with the
necessary food and supplies, and who
had to learn from the crudest expe
rience facts that are now placed at the
disposal of every canal employe?
It is not at Panama alone that the
tropics are losing their fictitious ter
rors. The northern tourist is now find
ing his way through the whole Carib
bean country, and steamship companies
are loudly proclaiming the delights of
residence throughout the West Indies
and the Spanish main. Statistics, more
over, show that yellow fever had been
on the decline long before the discov
eries of the American sanitarians in
Cuba and Panama, with its ideal condi
tions, is not the only tropical city that
can boast of a diminished death rate.
That is the economic and social con
dition of the worker in Panama is ideal
no one can dispute, and if this leads to
physical, mental and moral well being,
why should the facts be denied? Is not
this experiment too valuable during the
present era of industrial distress and
social upheaval to be subjected to the
slightest misrepresentation?
The American colony at Panama Is
composed largely of men in the prime
of life who have been subjected to the
most rigid physical examination before
acceptance. Having passed this exam
ination and received positions which in
most cases assure a salary much great
er than the recipients could earn in the
United States, they begin to learn how
philanthropic an employer Uncle Sam
really is. The new employes are trans
ported free of chargo to the scene of
their labor. On their arrival they find
themselves In a modern town or camp,
every building *>f which is constructed
of the best materials and contains every
modern Improvement. The newcomer in
most cases receives free quarters, and
though he must pay for his meals, these
are of the best quality and are provided
absolutely at cost. The householder who
must pay rent finds that Uncle Sam has
ngaln anticipated his needs and pro
vided the maximum of comfort at the
minimum of expense. Food, clothing
and all the necessaries of life, that is,
those not already provided free of cost,
are sold at such reduced rates that the
high cost of living in the canal zone is
but a, northern echo. If any one doubts
this, let him consult the New York
Evening Post for January 22 last, in
which comparative tables of the cost of
food in New York and Panama are pre
sented, wholly to the advantage of the
latter.
But Uncle Sam has gone farther in
his paternalism and provides free in
struction of all kinds, free amusement
centers, free transportation, and as if
to eliminate the last chance of worry,
assures every worker that if he be
comes ill. there will be the best ac
commodation provided for him at the
government hospitals, with wages con
tinued. no matter how long the illness,
and all care and attendance absolutely
free. This removes that corroding fear
so widespread in our northern indus
trial centers, to which many scientists
now attribute a large percentage of
disease with its consequent poverty and
distress.
The above is a partial enumeration
only of the advantage of working for
Undo Sam in this new tropical outpost.
Myers holds Dr. Herman J. Boldt, of
No. 30 East Sixty-first street, respon
sible and has sued him for damages.
Dr. Friedman asserts that when he
recovered the towel, after it had re
mained five weeks inside Mrs. Myers,
it bore the label, “St. Vincent's hos
pital."
“A few days later,” alleges Dr. Fried
man, “I met Dr. Boldt, who told me
that he had sent the towel to the New
York County Medical association as a
curiosity, indicating the great vitality
of the patient. Mrs. Myers told me
she was going to sue Dr. Boldt, and I
told him of this. He said he was in
sured against such accidents and that
he did not care, as such an accident
could not hurt his reputation. He ad
mitted at the time that he might have
left the towel in Mrs. Myer’s body."
And last but not least, the destruction
and elimination of gests, in which lat
ter task the medical corps have un
doubtedly rendered efficient service.
Here we have the situation in its
rightful proportions. The canal zone
shows a death rate lower than that or
most of our American cities, and the
doctors claim the credit. Ignoring the
fact that the population is made up of
the finest physical types, mostly young
men of athletic habits or men in the
prime of life—never old men or invalids
—and that these are placed in an en
vironment as clean and inviting as un
limited resources and the most modern
applances can make it, to medicine for
sooth belongs the glory.
The preposterousness of such a claim
stands almost without a parallel.
Health in the canal zonp is both logical
and inevitable, but if pills or vaccines
are to be included in the problem, they
must be looked for elsewhere than
among the assets.
Buildings Intended to Deceive.
From the Wide World Magazine.
A curious variety of •‘freak” struc
tures are pretentious “shams”—build
ings deliberately intended to deceive
the unwary. Dinton "castle," near
Aylesbury, is a typical specimen of
these pinchbeck fabrics. At a distance,
and even from the road, it looks like a
mediaeval stronghold, but at close
quarters the largeness of its windows
and the thinness of its walls betray its
youth. It is actually no castle, but a
mere lodge erected by a former owner
of the estate on which it stands.
An Ilford “freak,” known locally as
the "castle,” seems to be of the same
class; but In truth it has a much more
curious history. Its creator was Sir
Charles Raymond, who, conceiving the
idea of erecting a mausoleum for him
self and his family, raised this building
for use as such. Beneath it he pro
vided extensive catacombs, then above
them a chapel hi which the burial serv
ice was to be read on occasion, and
above that again a room for the ac
commodation of mourners. But Sir
Charles, like many another builder,
reckoned without the other party; for
the bishop refused to consecrate the
structure, which in consequence could
not be used for the purpose for which
it was intended. It is now tenanted
and forms one of the most curious
dwelling houses in the United King
dom, since, despite its size, jt contains
only four habitable rooms, a well liked
spiral staircase, which leds from the
chapel to the roof, taking up much of
the space.
Akin to such manifestations of the
craze for building are structures which
are mute witnesses of the vanity of
human wishes. The most remarkable,
perhaps, of these melancholy memorials
is the chief “lion” of Carsaalton. Bent
on building a great mansion, Sir Will
iam Scawen, a wealthy London mer
chant, first concentrated his attention
on the entrance, and set up a fine gate
way of wrouglit iron, flanked with
sculptures by Catalini, the whole 240
feet in width. Before he could proceed
any farther, however, he failed in bus
iness, with the result that the begin
ning of the proposed mansion was also
the end. The great gateway, notwith
standing that it has stood for many
decades, was valued by experts some
time back at $25,000, and when offered
for sale by auction three or four years
ago, with the land attached (worth, It
was estimated, $3,650), was "bought in”
at $9,500. Splendid, indeed, would have
been a mansion in keeping with a gate
way worth so large an amount, even
now. _ _

RASH ALL OVER BABY’S BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep
“On July 27, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over baby’s body,
head and face, at different times. I(|
Irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
“When we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was com
pletely covered with it at different
times. It was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of disfigurement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur
ther trouble with baby’s skin. Noth
ing stopped the itching, and allowed
baby to sleep but Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment.” (Signed) Mrs.
