stal'tling statement made by Professqr
James M. Munyon, the famous Ph adel- C

Professor Munyon is a living embodi- I
ment of the cheerful creed he preaches.
Virile well poised, active and energetic,
he looks as though he would easily at- t
tain the century age limit which he de
clares is the normal one. He said:
"I want the people of the world to I
know my opinions on the subject of
health, which are the fruit of a life-time
devoted to healing the sick people of
America. There isn't a building In this ]
cit big enough to house the people in

through there won't be a building ig

"I want, most o all, to talk to the sick
people-the invalds, the discouraged
ones the victims of nerve-wearing body
racking diseases and ailments-for these
are 'the ones to whom the message of
hope which I bear will bring the great

"I want t talk to the rheumatics, the
sufferers from stomach trouble, the ones

want to talk to the men who are 'all run
down,' whose health has been broken by
overwork, improper diet, late hours and
other causes, and who feel the creeping
clutch of serious, chronio illness.
"To these people I bring a story of
hope. I can ive them a promise of bet

through my new system of treatment.
"I ave taken the best of the ideas

adapted to each particular case. I have
no cure aIls,' but my present method of
attacking disease is the very best thought
of modern science. The success which I
have had with these treatments in this
city and all over America proves its effi
cacy. Old methods must give away to
new medical science moves. I know what
my remedies are doing for humazty

Mrs. Browning.
Apropos of the jubilee of the death
f Mrs. Browning, it is not generally
:nown that the event occasioned one
of the tenderest things her husbaifd
iver wrote. He tended her alone the
Light before she died, and wrote of
ker passing in a letter of infinite pa
hos addressed to their mutual friend,
birs. Blagdon: "Then came what my
eart will keep till I see her again,
Lnd longer-the most perfect expres
ion of her love to me within my
cnowledge of her. Always smiling and
with a face like a girl's; and in a
ew minutes she died in my arms, her
lead on my cheek. . . . There was
1o lingering or acute pain, nor con
iciousness of separation. God took
ier to himself as you would life a
sleeping child from a dark, uneasy

His Future Expenditures.
Among the most frequent requests
hat go to the United States senate
ire those asking some prominent
nember to give money to charity or
ganizations, hospitals and other phi
lanthropic undertakings. One day a
charity worker asked Senator Flini
Df California, who is not a wealth)
man, to give a large sum of mone)
ror a free ward in one of the hos
pitals.
"I am sorry that I cannot comply
with your request," said the senatoi
gravely; "but, judging from the num
ber of similar demands that have beer
made upon me in the past, I have de
cided that I can promote a greatei
charity. The vast amount of monei
spent on hospitals in this town con
vinces me that thousands of peopli
are going to die and be buried With
out flowers. Hereafter, I shall devot
my spare money exclusively to send
Ing flowers to the dead."--The But
