Unfortunately their. on has produced a malady which may be patie 'with Br) 'elbow' or writet's cramp. In one single country village where the knitting fever ran very high three women are suffering in various ~ degrees from what is kon a "knitting neuritis." It r arm and shoulder flies a et fingers, and seems to affect only those who knit with difficulty, having not practiced the art in their youth.

A peculiar Sharacteristic of the ailment is that while the fingers are thus affected: when any attempt is made to knit, there is' Hn interference with other varieties of finger movement.

If any of the children gets a stiff neck, Nerviline, cures quickly, If it is earache, toothache, cold on the chest, sore throat, Nerviline is always my standby. My husband once cured himself of a frightful attack of lum- bago by Nerviline, and for a hundred ailments that turn up in a large fam- fly Nerviliné is by far the best thing to have about you."

We are the most wasteful people in the world, an American 6énce said of the English. f The Americans are very keen on waste, for they make money from it. The humble "junk" business, as they' call it, has prospered in America as in no other place, and this snapping up of unconsidered trifles has made many an American fortune. In Boston lives a dealer who has accumulated more than & million dollars; while' several of his competitors could sign big cheques. : One Philadelphian deal- er has half a million invested in buildings 'alone. Scattered over the State of New Jersey are a good dozen wealthy men who have made their money out of what others have thrown away, Ome. of those New Jersey dealers recently bought the greatest "lot" of junk ever purchased in that State--namely, the old iron and refuse which the French aban- doned at Panama. The original cost of that material was about a million dollars. What sum the junk dealer paid for it is, of course, not known, and what he made out of the deal no one dared to estimate.
