Zurich Herald, 1939-02-09, Page 7..D.RESSIVIAKER HAD. TO Qui SEWING Hands Swollen with Rheumatism Pity this poor dressmaker! Nine -tenths of her work consists of sewing—and she was not able to sew. Rheumatism in her hands was her trouble, and she tried any number of remedies. Bat nothing helped much --until she came to Kruschen. "Three -and -a -half years ago," she 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. "I tried many remedies without success. Then I started on Iirus- ellen 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 be able to work . my sewing machine. What a treat to be able to wally, to work, and,to be free from pain."—(Mrs.) E, S. ' The stabbing pains of rheuma- tisn are often caused by needle - pointed eryetals 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 * WORLD'S STRONGEST FABRIC • A glass marble weighing one- third of an ounce and drawn out into a filament 920 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 t h e 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- iliulii 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 realiZel ,'t► u11foici ,"" heli?xe the scientist an entirely new re- gion in which to pursue investiga- tion and test contentious theories. MASS PRODUCTION AIRPLANES A secretly developed process based on plastics is being tried out to manufactureeight or ten planes a day, They had been flown sue- eessfully 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 flow 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 per cent.—and goose pimples` are sim- ply the result of the extra effort. Customer in drug store (on Sun- day morning)—"Please give me change for a dime." Druggist—"Here you are. I hope you enjoy the sermon."

"So your name is George Wash- ington," the old lady asked the small Negro boy In an American hotel: "Yessum." "'And you try to be exactly like Itim, or as nearly as possible?" "Lak who?"

The theatrical touring company gave a performance of "King Lear," And the local critic wrote: "If Shakespeare. could have seen kis play performed, he would have turned in his grave," Next night the same company 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 is now on his back again." An unemployed actor finally landed a small part in a new shovel the other day and now he says he's so happy he feels as though he's walking on leather. Student—"A full grown man has 13 teeth."

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. Thebill of fare included 80 oxen, 1,000 sheep, 300 calves, 2,000 pigs, 400 deer, 3,500 capons, and a few 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 tasties of red deer in a dish, torte, ginger -bread, and fritters." Used Daggers For Knives Each person had his own knife —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 off a portion of the joint for himself. Fingers must have played a prominent part in the operation, and this would ac- count for the punctilious cleansing of the hands which characterized the table manners of the period. Both before and • after meals, pages went round to each person with a basin of water and a towel, so that people could wash their hands before touching foods — 11y� gienic precaution which might well be more carefully observed today, Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1.

Daguerre by name, set up a strange looking piece of apparatus in his studio and produced the first photograph. Artists Astounded S::ientiflc 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 of any likeness of 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 of today which is "an art, a science, a species of public service, and a eecreation ;for 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 of "wirephoto" which makes possible the simultaneous repro- duction of events and personalities in the news all over the country, to say nothing of 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.
