PBUUDFJ W CHARLES MORRIS BUTLER. "Zie JSemnfe ofAto/rrfyf Tenement Copyright, IMS. by Charles Morris Butler. . CHAPTER XIII. *'9h r ". Lang Gcto a Few Pointers Concerning the City. 1 Tbe emigrant train crossed the ford At early sunrise. Bowie Bill, risen now to the dignity of leader of the train, though seemingly reckless as to the danger that had surrounded him in the past, dispatched a messenger in advance of the prfrty, who notified the sub-posts of the city of the near ap­ proach of the emigrant train, so that in case of a second attack assistance might be rendered if needed. Lang was riding alongside one of the schooners, thinking of his last night's adventure, when he was accosted by Golden. "Have I ever met you before this trip?" Golden asked. ' "Has Regan not told you who and what I am!". "Sure. But how did you know of :pBie and my mission?"^ "Don't you remember the - German kid who was confined in 'the Tombs' for the killing of Simeon Monroe, the 'Varwick Street vag?" asked Louis in surprise. , '#Not the kid I made a few 'passes' at and told him I could get him out if he wanted to escape?" "The same!" "Yes, I remember you, now," said Golden, as if relieved of some heavy burden, "but what bothers me is how you knew me." Lang saw that he was in for an ex­ planation. whatever Gold en's reason for desiring it, and was guarded in his replies. "Since I became a man, and have had a little experience in several secret societies, I came to the con­ clusion- that the s-igns that you made to me had some deep meaning. Your power and influence which I knew you would have--powers to free me from the 'Tombs,' made me often de­ sire to meet you." "You did not seem very enthusiastic "Pause before it is too late. This is your last chance to escape from the power of the octopus! Some large city is the place for you--you will live and die within the city^s walla Youfdo not know what thanklfess mas­ ters you are tying yourself, to. They, knowing youf utter helplessness, will use you to their own ends. You do not deserve so vile a fate! Turn back!" Louis put his hands upon Oolden's shoulder. The old man's evident de­ sire to do the lad a favor, for a brief moment unnerved the youth. "Golden, I thank you*for your wor^.s--it shows me that like myselj, you are not whol­ ly ba<fr. You are true to your friends! But I 'am resolved to go on. My con­ dition . can be no worse than '4t has. been--than it is now. It has been the dream of my life to see the inside of the convict city. What I have done to gain my revenge I feel will place me in the power of a most desperate man. Nowhere but with you will I be safe from Denver. I am ^yenged--let the penalty be what it may* I must go on!" •- "So be it," said Goldeo. "I have done my duty as a man. Your fate is upon your own head!" "I will remember your expression of friendship," said LOuis. Golden seemed to be. debating with himself. At last his mind seemed to become settled. He spoke now in a more natural tone of voice. "We were talking of Regan--'what damage could one man do in the community?' Much! A well educated and really brave man could do much. It Jhas been prophesied by Magic Moll, the fortune teller, that the town will be* destroyed by one man; that is through the influence of one man the town would be divided against itself and 'a house divided against itself,' .you know, is bound to fall!" "I think you exaggerate," said Louis. But there was a strange gleam in his 1 sr •* - w fSPnce mere I say," and Golden's voice was husky with excitement. "Pause before it is too late." ^ * eyes, and his breast filled with hope. • r > •fer ny offer in tbe first place," the ' man replied, as if a little bit piqued. "Just because I refused your help." . retorted Louis. He felt proud of his independence. "You were a little bit late. I had other plans. You would have aided me to escape, no doubt; possibly I would have been re-cap­ tured. At that time I knew that my ? father and brother had succeeded in l bribing one of the jurors at consid­ erable less cost than what your offer amounted to. If this had failed I would have been glad to have accept­ ed your offer. I became a free man, in one sense of the word, which was to my mind, more satisfactory." "And now have been revenged on Denver, the detective^?" "Yes, he was the only man whose evidence seemed to carry weight in my case. He has paid dearly for his part in the business." "And you now are truly a criminal through that?" "What do I care for that? I am avenged! I spent a year of my life In jail; Denver has toiled years for the fortune I have robbed him of. I am young; he is old, and the result is, , he will die in poverty, while I will live to enjoy his weath." "Do* you know what kind of * place are going to?" . > "I can't say that I do," Lang re­ frained from committing himself. ""What you do know you have been told by Regan?" suavely queried Gold- en. "Regan has told me nothing!" said Louis calmly. "What little I do know | bave guessed." *' <*That will do to tell," said Golden, aano5'ed. "I don't like Regan---I think he has a loose tongue In his head; and I don't like him for it. I am afraid he will do more harm than good in the society." "In what way?" asked Lang, as if -tot slightly interested, while in truth tbe question was a burning one to fciat. :• "I think he would betray us If Jie the chance!" " "In what way could one man do damage to the 'Community* after you once got him Inside the 'circle,' as jrou call It?" The tone was one of Surprised incredulity. "Much," was Golden's candid reply. "But that is not here ©r the/e. Let us talk of yourself. I don't think that you are criminal enough to become happy in the Convict City. I rather like you, Lang, and I speak now for your own good. You have in your pos­ session ten thousand dollars, the price Of your admission; hesitate, express a desire, and I will put you on the lMck trail with a swift horse under fou! Your decision?" This was no time tpr Louis to hesi- _ We. He felt It - ' y "I am resolved <• proceed" ho re- filed firmly. "Once more I atT," and Golden's with excitement. the lowers, 'ft took three years to start, and fully tep. years to get the village into running order, and this only by the aid of a party of outcast Mor­ mons. In 1880 it had a population of seven hundred, of which number only fifty were women. Under the leader­ ship of a doctor by the name of Schil­ ler the town has ?«**-*> ed a population Of fully nineteen hundred, with fully tour hundred women, and they are on the Increase, "The government of tbe city Is not what may be termed an absolute mon­ archy. We have a king, but his will is not absolute. He rules according to law, and is amenable to the law. Marriage is an honorable state. Here a man's honor is everything, strange as it may seem. In thd matter of punishment, the death penalty pre­ dominates, but in rather a queer way. Two persons who have forfeited their right to life and liberty fight to the death, and the survivor become free again. This works well. We have more law abiding citizens in the city to the square inch than any one place in the 'states.' When once you enter the city you Will be expected to work. There are many occupations, mostly police and guard duty goes round, in trades, that have been learned in jail; other positions trading takes, place.v If you are assigned to a certain duty that is displeasing to you. you can trade or buy a substitute. " '1am afraid I tire you, Lang, so will end my explantion by saying to you --traitors and spies - are given no chance for life!" "What do you meant" demanded Lang, who was a little taken off his guard at the abrupt ending of Gold­ en's conversation. "L^ean nothing," very calmly re­ plied Golden. "I only wish to warn you against taking a false step. Don't let your better nature get the best of you here--suspicion is sometimes as much to be dreaded as actual facts." "I am at a loss to understand you. Golden. I am no hypocrite; I don't want to appear anything else than I am. Of course you know I am not hardened in crime--but, pardon me, I am not a traitor!" * "I believe you!" said Golden, sober­ ly. "But I cannot help speaking. I feel that I am returning here to die, and I must make a confidant of some­ body. Thus far I have been testing you; you have stood- the test well; there now remains nothing for me to do but bring you into the city." "Have no fear. Golden, that I shall bring discredit upon you! Remember this of me, whether I am an honest man or not--as you choose to call me ---I will never go back upon a friend!" "To-morrow," said Golden, as if deeply thinking, "to show you that I trust you, I shall give you a secret!" To-morrow brings many changes, "iii, {To be continued.*) REMEDIES USED MILLIONS I cannot credit Regan with power you seem to endow him.' I am sorry Regan has been told the secrets of the order. It is true he helped me from Joiiet, but I do not like him. What I know of him is not, to his credit." Lang thought it tfest now to change bis tactics a little. How did he Know but what Regan, after all, was a friend. A fellow conspirator in this massive game of chance? "I will ad­ mit that it was through Regan that I learned of the existence of the city," said Louis. "But it was not a volun­ tary admission on his part, as you hint. Jealousy and drink carries Regan away. It was because he was drunk and sore at Depver that he gave away the^cts of your escape. For a year or more I have been^ laying a trap to get the best of Denver, and during that time I became (while not a friend of Jack's) possessed of several of his secrets. I knew him to be 'crooked,' having 'split' several pots with cracks­ men of note. If he had been 'straight goods' he would never have helped me rob the Madison bank. To him I owe that much. I think he is all right!" Golden listened very patiently to Lang, then said: "You have again showed yourself a man, in the face of my talk, to take his part. You are after my style. I would risk my life to help a' friend, and. if you will permit it, I will be a friend to you!" "I would be honored!" asserted Louis. "It was Just such an experience as yours which a resulted in making me what I am--an outcast. When about 13 years of age my mother died; It Is well she did! I was left quite alone, as I never had the care of a father. I turned newsboy, bootblack and gen­ eral street gamin. Poverty drove mjg to crime. For fpod I broke into a bakery shop and was caught in the act. Of a revengeful nature, I re­ solved to be avenged upon the man who had me punished, and was as bitter against the unthinking judge, whom I blame for not acquitting me. The baker was burned out, and I was "sent up' some years for incendiarism. The judge's residence was robbed. I made him a poor man. I wished to flee from justice, but I knew of no safe place to go. It was then I thought of founding a refuge for Just such people as myself. It was a child of my brain, but the real founder of the city as it now stands,«-was an outlaw by the name of Mitchel, 'the teacher,' he was called, because he was a learned man and had at one time plied this vocation. "The town Is naturally protected and lies at the foot of three moun­ tains, hard of entrance. Mitchell was perfectly at home in this district and it * was an easy matter to surround himself with a band atjyg^perate Jol- y *< CtmiOUS DEEP SEA VISlWf.' Cephalopods Photographed by Their f Own Light in Some Cases. A French writer in a scientific magazine tells of the great ocean depths of 28,000 to <30,000 feet, the temperature tending toward zero, the perpetual darkness reigning below depths of about 1,280 feet. At that level plants, deprived of light, can not exist. The animal life must be carnivorous. The organs of sight not being used, have become atrophied and disappeared. Yet there is light even in that sight­ less world. A German exploring ship found a fish with enormous eyes at a depth of 6,400 feet. Phosphores­ cence is common in these hollows of the sea. Sometimes special organs flash light. Sometimes the phosphor­ escence is caused by a mucous secre­ tion on the surface of the aniimtl. The crustacean cbrysophorus has not only huge eyes, but luminous organs, including what are, in effect, a re­ flector and- a lens. Certain cephalopods bave actually been photographed by their own light. The luminous organs attached to the eyes allow the animal to see its prey. The other luminous organs may per­ haps be a lure to the prey. The deep- sea life that swims sees. Tbe eye­ less creatures are sedentary and do not need-to see. Thus, even in that vast darkness there is sufficiency 4>f light.--Everybody's Magazine. • Booth and the Brass Monkey. , Years ago, about the time Hoyt's "A Brass Monkey" was attracting theater­ goers, a young actor who had made a hit with his part in this show hap­ pened to meet Edwin Booth takiilg his morning stroll down Tremont street, in Boston. Mustering up courage and "feeling his part," the young man decided to speak to the great actor. What fol­ lowed will be appreciated by those who knew Booth and his tempera­ ment. "Good morning, lft£. Bo&th," the young man said. Booth excused himself for not rec­ ollecting him, and the young man said: "Don't you know me? Why, I play the Brass Monkey." Booth, with a look of scorn, re­ torted: "Well, brass monkeys are scarce," and passed on. . * Half and Half. They were sitting around a table In the cardroom of the officers' club at Fort Sheridan, several army men and a civilian guest, whose fondness for the favorite army drink, Scotch and soda, was sufficient passport to the inner circle. The talk had drifted through Philippine reminiscences, the last hop, scores ""on the range, the current gossip of the post and finally settled upon ancestry. "Well," said the civilian guest, never thought that ancestry counts for much, but I admit that I am proud of the fact that 1 am half Scotch." "And the other half sod£?" came the quick query from 4he speaker's vis-a-vis, an artillery lieutenant. Then somebody smiled and it was Scotch and soda all around again. v ? Leipsic Book Trade. - fu 4he city of Leipsic, the head­ quarters of the German book publish ing trade, there are 2,916 firms filling orders, • and its Book Publishers' Ex­ change has 3,240 members. Leipsic has not only one of the most cele­ brated universities in Germany, but as a city is renowned for Its music schools concerts. . Truth About the Popular "Proprietary „ Medicines." The recent campaign against the use of proprietary medicines, conduct­ ed in the columns of The Ladies' Home Journal and Collier's Weekly, has evoked an answer from the Com* mittee on Legislation of the Proprie­ tary Association. The committee says: "In considering the question raised by recent attacks upon proprietary medicines, every reasonable man will admit that there is a wide and legiti­ mate field for tbe manufacture and sale of medicines already prepared for general use and easily obtainable a t a l l t i m e s a n d e v e r y w h e r e . . . . As a matter of fact these medicines are not patented at all, and the popu­ lar use of the word 'petent' in connec­ tion with them is a misnomer. Any pharmacist will tell you that practi­ cally the only 'patent' medicines in use to-day are those which are manu­ factured either by foreign or domestic pharmaceutical houses, and which are now almost exclusively dispensed by physicians or designated by them in their prescriptions. 'The medicines which are now the subject of wholesale attack by Mr. Bok and Editor Hapgood are the old- fashioned family remedies properly described as 'proprietary medicines/ They are the favorite remedies among millions of people all over the coun­ try; and, notwithstanding the con­ stant effort of some physicians to cre­ ate prejudice against them, no one ever yet heard of any of the millions of users of such remedies asking for legislation or other action adverse to them." THE MODERN CRAVE . - WEALTH. English Bftftop* Rebukes MeritiM^ Spirit of the day. Bishop'Wordsworth, in a letter to the laity of his diocese, says the pres­ ent generation are slacker than their fathers in attendance on God's house. "As regards money," his lordship re­ marks, "not one of us is sufficiently careful of it as a trust from God. Most waste it, sometimes by hoarding it, more often by mis-spending it, and many are proud of their extravagance. Men and women run lightly into debt and tempt others into it. In some vill­ ages there is scarcely a family which is not in debt; and to be in debt en­ courages dishonesty and lessens gen­ erally the sense of honor. Even ed­ ucated men take or give bribes, and call them 'commissions'; others take what is not theirs, and call it a 'per­ quisite,' Again, the sin of betting and gambling and generally of speculation is one which particularly aflects the young of our generation; and those who give way to it are drawn on into other sins, often1 without seeming to be able to help themselves. Like the other evil passions of imparity and intemperance, the reckless pursuit of money ends very frequently in real suicide--that is to say, intentional selfmurder not caused by insanity. This is one of the great curses of our present life. s Ail Kinds of Velvet. Of the prestige of velvet there is no reasonable doubt, but the velvet gown Is a luxury and can never rival cloth for all-round service. The new velvets are all of the soft chiffon character and run through an indescribably beautiful gamut of coloring, the vio­ lets, mulberry, prune and other blue- red shades being particularly lovely. One importer is showing a stunning princess gown of dahlia velvet abso­ lutely without trimming save for lit­ tle rouleaux of dahlia satin and a plastron sleeve finish of exquisite lace, Another importer has among the im­ ported frocks already unpacked though not upon public view a mulberry vel-' Vet costume made of the finest all silk chiffon velvet, with a circular skirt untrimmed, an empire coat reaching only a little way below the hips and a blouse of cream lace embroidered in mulberry and pale blue chenille. The coat has a collar of pale blue cloth, closely covered by embroidery in mulberry chenille and large French knots of gold thread, and large but­ tons match the collar. Going back for a moment to the prlncesse model, princesse lines are to gain rather than lofce in prestige, and evening gown, visiting gown, street gown, are all to be seen in princesse form. The princesse street frock, launched last spring, and the princesse skirt worn with a bolero will probably be features of the winter fashions, but they are not easily made, and no woman should adopt the idea unless sure of both her figure and her tailor.--New York Sun. -xg Lace Trimming Still PopuljM?. Lace as a trimming is not going to be unfashionable for many a long month to come. It will be seen again this winter on cloth gowns, it will be used on satin and silk and, of course, on all thinner materials. The newest cloth gowns that are brought out show an immense amount of net­ work, which is imitated in the heavier laces as well. These have very much the same effect and are^dyed the pre­ cise shade of the eloth. White and black gowns will be very fashionable, but for a time--at all events until into the winter--will be much more used for the house than for the street. Black gowns "with- white lace and white with black lace are in the na­ ture of comparative novelties, for we have had a long season of the all-one- color scheme that by this time is Of -course getting on. It does not do for any one fashion to stay in more than a certain length of time. Every housekeeper jhould know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.--one full pound--while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack­ ages. and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch Is free from all injurioife chem­ icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He Inows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let­ ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De­ fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick­ ing. Defiance never sticks. * ; " r Keeps Cranks From Financier The stranger who calls at the bank­ ing-house of J. Pierpont Morgan first encounters a big man who lounges near the door at the corner of Broad and Wall streets, New York. This is "Jim" McDermott, formerly a police­ man of famous athletic powers. Ex­ cept for his keen blue eye Jim looks the picture of indolent ease, but if the strange visitor can not show that he has legitimate business in the place he has no chance Of getting beyond the doorway.

Velvets and Velveteens. . --Velvets, which until a few years ago were considered the mate­ rial of kings and queens, have come to be very generally worn not only by people of wealth but by those of mod­ est purse as well. The chiffon velvets are the direct result of the manufac­ turers' efforts to get the pliable qual­ ity of the cotton fabrics In their silk weaves. Velveteens of to-day are as pretty and as lustrous as their silken relatives, and this season are brought out with the added virtue of being fast in color, thus assuring the wear­ er that her light-colored dainty blouse or delicately tinted gloves will not be smudged. All the shades of the new color cord are splendidly exampled in the velveteens. Iu them, as in all the fall fabrics, the dark colors are favorites, the new purples, plums, petunias, wine, garnet and the whple family of greens being splendidly rep­ resented. Felt Hats. To Mi extent unusual, felt hate are to be mentioned as prospectively dividing choice with those of velvet and of the other rich silk stuffs, at least for the ear­ lier weeks of the new season. This may be accounted for in the exceedingly" beautiful qualities in which the new felts have been pro­ duced. Seemingly never before as soft and velvety in effect, in plain felt, as are the recent manufactures, some of the most attractive models which were brought out in the late ex­ positions were plain felt. Models in- beaver are also to be remembered in this connection; and there were very stylish toques of narrow boat shape or of elliptical contour, draped over with plaques of rough felt, and having no outside trimming. .

A gown of light pearl gray is very chic with the waist trimmed with a wide, hand­ some black trimming in a left design. The bolero fronts are trimmed with it and there Is a full Vest of black lace. At the waist the trimming is put on to form a girdle and at the neck and sleeves there is a touch of pale pink silk. Black trimming on white is very effective. , Two-Pleee Velvet Costumed®!# Two-piece costumes of velvet have either eton or bolero jacket, or a coat almost reaching half way between the waist line and knees. The long redln- gote. reaching almost to the hem of the skirt, so much favored In tailor- mtfdes, is missing from the list of vel­ vet models. In the first place velvet is not suited to this mode of develop­ ment, and in the second It Is too rich to be covered up by a garment of it­ self, as is the case of the redingote and the skirt. Then, too, the skirts of velvet gowns are made fanciful. They are either tucked or plaited, and often braided or embroidered, inserts of lace also being used, and this or­ namentation the makers choose shall not "blush unseen" under tbe long coat All-Black Will Be ,-Worn.^ "For some occult reason the all-1§fftc1t dress has been "de mode" for several years, but next winter we are told that it is to be extremely smart, In or out of style, a black gown must re­ main the most distinguished one a woman can wear.

Meukel, of 2875 Jackson avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in de- • scribing his experience to a reporter, Fri "and it is not surprising that I con- tracted rheumatism. For three years I had attacks affecting the joints of my ^ ankles, knees and elbows.

By : chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of Dubuque, who had a very bad case Of 31 rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Wil- . liams' Pink Pills for Rile People, the remedy he had used.

Minced Eggs. » Chop up four or five hftrd^Hrtied eggs; do not mince them too fine. Put over the fire in a suitable dish a Cupful of milk, a tablespoonful of but­ ter, salt and pepper and some savory chopped small. When this comes to a boil stir into it a tablespoonful of flour, dissolved in a little cold milk. When It cooks thick like cream put in the minced eggs. Stir it gently around and around for a few moments and serve garnished with sippets of toast. Any particular flavor may be given to this dish, such as that of mush­ rooms, truffles, catsup, essence of shrimps, etc., or some shred anchovy may be added to the mince. Stripes Hard to Make jUp. The dressmakers are going to have their own troubles with the new striped materials that are to be so fashionable in a few weeks. Plaids were difficult enough in all conscience to make up, but the fitting of a striped skirt is double the trouble, as every stripe must be matched at every seam. Manufacturers, however, appear this season to be in sympathy with the couturieres atid are making the fall fabrics twice aB wide as usual. Not only in woolens, but in silk and erep© de chine, is this good work going for­ ward. Some of the latest crepe de chines are seventy inches wide. The Most Useful Wrap. For all-round utility wraps nothing can compare with the cloak of fawn cloth.' It can hide a dress of broderie anglalse on a motor trip; it is an emergency coat for a theater visit; it serves for walking and riding, and is among the smartest on sea. The rich deep tones of last year have, however, faded into soft creamy tints, and there is far less surface on those pre­ ferred to-day. Yet a good fawn cloth cloak has alwayB been regarded as a good investment by the economical In that' when it is soiled it can easily be cleaned, and when tired of, it can easily be dyed and refashioned. Empire Styles the Vogue. Bmpire lines are most surely upoa us and the fall promises to be a sea­ son for slender figures, though, of course, the plump woman in an em­ pire coat will be inevitably sure. These semi-short-waisted lines seem to have been promulgated from the bolero and In many fall jackets or long coats both appear, bolero-like jacket effects being simulated on to the garments. The very extremely high girdle still comes out In spots, with coat tails, usually of the Louis IV/ style, going with it. In Haekabout Tailor Suits. , .-There will be no reason for a wom­ an's not having a haekabout tailor suit that is becoming this autumn, for advance models show such a wide range of styles that all figures should be suited. To say that any particular %ind is not smart is impossible as long as the sleeves conform to the one Ironclad rule that' they shall„ be large at the top and small at the wrist, a leg o' mutton in some modification or another.

It is regard­ ed by Parisian taste as more suitable for long garments than for any others, writes a Paris correspondent of Dry Goods, on account of its ten­ dency to make the figftre somewhat bulky.

In the broadest sense the fraternal societies of the United States have en­ joyed gains far exceeding the rate of increase In the population of the coun­ try. This phase of American life means much for the unity and har­ mony of the nation. The great frater­ nal societies know neither sectional nor racial lines. They bring together many elements of the population, often widely separated in other interests and associations, In a spirit of co-op­ eration and mutual helpfulness. It is good training for a self-governing peo­ ple of heterogeneous nationalities oc­ cupying a country the extent of which is In some measure conducive to sec­ tional differences and local differences. --Cleveland Leader. Polyglot Antagonism!^, Nowhere else in the world Is thero so great a confusion of languages, peo­ ples and religions as in the mountains and steppes of Caucasia. Her deep, closed valleys have taken toll of many races in their migrations, and the very inaccessibility of these moun­ tain retreats has preserved types and tongues which elsewhere have long since become extinct, or has facili­ tated the development of new ones. It has been stated that the number of distinct dialects spoken in the Caucasus is sixty-eight, and these rep­ resent every stage of linguistic devel­ opment. In these circumstances it is not strange that the antagonisms of Christian and Mohammedan, of Ar­ menian and orthodox, should be in­ tensified, and of all against a govern­ ment bent on stamping out every race of Independence and dlstlncUveaeMfn* Philadelphia Ledger. ' 1 Shocks From False Teeth. "False teeth have been known to generate electricity in the mouth and shock their wearer painfully," said a dentist. -"Only last week a gentleman came to me and said he feared he was get­ ting a cancer on his tongue. 'Such severe shooting pains attack me,' he said, 'that often I utter loud oaths In the most unseemly places--at teas, before the minister, and so on. It is like knife thursts. Do you think I am going to lose my tongue?' , "I found that two different metals had been used in fixing the poor man's false teeth. These metals, com­ bining with the saliva, had formed a small battery. Electricity generated in the battery continually, and shock after shock was administered to the tongue. "I painted the metal with an Insu­ lating varnish. Thereafter the man had no more trouble."--New York Press. ' . '«• I frV' » v ' HONEST PHY8IC1AN. Works with Himself First. It is a mistake to assume that phy­ sicians are ajways skeptical as to the curative properties of anything else than drugs. indeed, the best doctors are those who seek to heal with as little use of drugs as possible and by the use of correct food and drink. A physi­ cian writes from Calif, to tell how he made a well man of himself with Nature's remedy: "Before I came from Europe, where I was born," he says, "it was my cus­ tom to take coffee with milk (cafe au lalt) with my morning *meal, a small cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and two or,three additional small cups at my club during the evening. "In time nervous symptoms devel­ oped, with pains in the cardiac region, and accompanied by great depression of spirits, despondency--in brief, "the blues!" I at first tried medicines, but got no relief and at last realised that all my troubles were caused by coffee. I thereupon quit its use forth­ with, substituting English Breakfast Tea. "The tea seemed to help me at first, but in time the old distressing symp­ toms returned, and I quit it also, and tried to use milk for my table bev­ erage. This I was compelled however to abandon speedily, for, while it re­ lieved the nervousness it brought on constipation. Then by a happy inspiration I was led to try tti Postum rood Coffee. This was some months ago and I still use It. I am no longer nervous, nor do I suffer from the pains about the heart, while my 'blues' have left me and life is bright to me once more. I know that leaving off coffee and using Postum healed me, and I make it a rule to advise my patients to use it."
