for Bix long years I have suffered more
misoryand agony than I can tell It

prescriptions and treatment without
avail Finally we moved to Bosque

case was so similar to my own that I
concluded to try the remedy Tho re

it could be so after having suffered so
so long but that ono bottle of medi

EARLY MORNING AIR
It invigorating Effect Largely Dae
It In Said to Dew
Most people at some time In their
lives probably have risen early enough
to experience the bracing effect given
by Ailing the lungs while dew is still
on the grass So far as analysis goes
the composition of early morning air is
not different from that of air at any
other time It is well to remember
however that during the passing of
night to May and of day to night sev
eral physical changes take place
There is a fall of temperature at sun
set and a rise again at dawn and con
sequently moisture Is alternately be
ing thrown out and taken up again
and it Is well known that change of
state is accompanied by electrical phe
nomena and certain chemical mani
festations also The formation of dew
has probably therefore far more pro
found effects than merely the moisten
ing of objects with water
Dew Is vitalizing not entirely be
cause it is water but because It -possesses
an Invigorating action due part
ly at any rate to the fact that it is
saturated with oxygen and it has been
stated that during its formation perox
ide of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed It is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
ing quality which marks the early
morning air has its origin in this way
Certain it is that the bracing proper
ty of the early morning air wears off
as the day advances and it is easy to
conceive that this loss of freshness is
due to the oxygen ozone or peroxide
of hydrogen whichever it may be be
ing used up
The difficulty of inducing grass to
flourish under a tree in full leaf is well
kuown and Is generally explained by
saying that the tree absorbs the nour
ishing constituents of the soil or that
it keeps the sunlight away from the
grass and protects it from rain It i3
doubtful whether any of these expla
nations is true the real reason most
probably being that the vitalizing dew
cannot form upon the grass under a
tree whereas as a rule both rain and
light can reach it
Dew is probably essential to the well
being of both plants and animals to a
greater extent than is known New

A modern cannery is a marvel of me
chanical ingenuity After the fish is
cleaned automatic machines do nearly
all the remainder of the work even in
some instances filling the cans with a
motion for all the world like that of
two human hands one holding the can
the other crowding it full of raw fish
I shall not attempt to enter into a de
scription of the machinery The can of
fish is started rolling on its way and
one has the impression that it contin
ues to roll through machine after ma
chine hardly touched by human hands
It rolls into the cooker and out again
even rolls itself into a bright colored
label and finally somehow rolls into a
