One of. the natural mistakes that is made sometimes is in attempting to treat a result instead of a cause.

Perhaps you have an, attack oi sciatica, that is pain down the sciatic nerve, which runs down from the lower back to hip, down the leg with branches extending to toes. You have had a sorethroat, the

tonsils removed. i Now while the tonsils are very often to blame, it is quite possible that one or more of your teeth are infected and removal of the tonsils will not

tonsils arelnfected months ailer- wards, then it is time enough to re- move the tonsils. I Another mistake sometimes nlade is where the pain eases somewhat in back and hip but persists in thigh and leg. v

The natural thing to do of course is to apply your heat or electricity to - skin over the part that is palnlng.’

What would really be of more help would be to apply heat, electricity. and injectionslnto the nerve, at a point nearer the root of tile nerve where it comes out from the spinal column. Dr. N. Gierlich, Berlin, reminds us ‘that to make sure that the sciatica comes from near tho root of the spinal column, pressure at a point about one inch to the side of the bony slump of the last bone in the spinal column, will give severe pain. Now pain in the sciatic nerve is always due to injury whether that injury is from a Jolt. a fall, a blow of some kind, or to infection. If you have pain all the time whe- ther on or of! your leg, it is likely infection. ‘

If you can get yourself iilto a posi- tion on a chair or in bed where the pain disappears it is likely due to injury. - Roughly, infection is responsible for '15- per cent of sciatica, and injury from a fall, jolt, or lift, 25 per cent. But in any case get busy and find the cause. Sciatica is onlythe result. Don't suffer with sciatica. The pain is verysevere, and will soon take a lot out of you.

And the weak condition of the bridge is given as an excuse for delay. Now, I intend to make a proposal and if it is not feasible I would like some railway authority to come out and say so.

The dream of every book collector of modest , who loves to rum- mage among the dint-laden shelves second-hand stores, is that some- day he may experience the thrill of picking up for a song a rare edition of a work of 1U -gniaed value-a prize, so to speak, worth its weight in gold. In these dayavhowever, the chances of realizins his dream are all against him, for, with the “American dealer abroad scouting for million- airs clients, and every bookseller on the alert to "spot" s. first edition, the possibilities of the "Fifty-cent

Btiil, the unexpected may happen, as it did the other day in New York, when, in an obscure and not much frequented book shop. avcustomer poked his nose into a collection of odd volumes to find a treasure that has turned all the Moguls of "the trade" green with envy. In the same city, only a few weeks previous- ly, had been witnessed the greatest sole of books, from the point of view of,prioes realized, on record. Rare volumes and precious manuscripts, long coveted by connoisseurs and wealthy collectors, had changed han-irrfor fabulous sums represent- ing in the aggregate more than two million dollars. Yet those who paid the highest prices for the Kern of- ferings would gladly have sacrificed some of their choicest acquisitions for the book discovered by accident in the shop within easy reach of the hectic auction. L The "find." described by an auth- ority on rare books, as one of the moat important of modern times. dwarfing in value many of the widely acclaimed literary discoveries within recent years, is no less than a _weil preserved copy of the first American edition of Demo's "Robinson Crusoe." The original English edition of that famous work, published in three voi- umes in 1719, is numbered among the rarities much sought after by: blbllophiles. Some thirty years ago, a copy 'of it was sold'in London for $1,000; at the recent Kern sale anoth- or copy brought $11,500: an interest- ing illustration, among many, of the remarkable inflation in prices that has taken place in the book market within a oomillratlvely brief period.

the first edition of 'Defoe's classic, printed in their own country, possess- es a value which it is claimed for exceeds that of the English original. For’ many years, librarians, biblio- graphers and book dealers have eag- erly searched for a copy. not knowing for certairrthe date of its ‘“ tic“ or whether, ‘indeed, a sample of the

quantities the containing sacks cost- ing 8180 and the freight charges M00 in round numbers, the net value to the producer at 20c per bushel being $195.00. . The freight on a carload of butter based on the "same charges would amount to the same figure, the but- tar reokonedat the net value of 37o. per lb. would be 810,000. '

The value of 100 lbs. 0f potatoes on which 87c. freight is charged is _ 43c. the ‘vaius of ioo lbs. of butter being $37.00. The freight charge on one dollar's worth of potatoes is 82.00, the freight on a similar value-of but- ter is 21-2 cents. ’

It is quite apparent in visualizing thofuturejn regard to freigiits, mar- lists, and nupoi-t duties, that if any departure is contemplated from the safe system of mixed fanning by way ofispecializing it should be in the direction of dairying‘. ‘our high- est type of agriculture.
