AN HONEST DOCTOR
ADVISED PE-RU-NA,
MR. SYLVESTER E. SMITH, Room
218, Granite Block, St. Louis, Mo.,
writes: '-Peruna is the best friend a
sick man can havo.
"A few months ago I came here in a
wretched condition. Exposure and
dampness had ruined my once robust
health. I had catarrhal affections of
the bronchial tubes, and for a time there
was a doubt as to my recovery.
"My good honest old doctor advised
mo to take Peruna, 'which I did and in
a short time my health began to improve
very rapidly, the bronchial
troublo gradually disappeared, and in
three months my health was fully restored.
"Accept a grateful man's thanks for
his restoration to perfect health."

"C. B.' in the Abbey.
Out of the nineteen prime minify
ters who held office in the nineteenth
century only seven have had monuments
in the Abbey erected at the
public expense. It is not, therefore,
a customary honor, but a distinction,
which Mr. Asquith will ask Parliament
to confer on Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman
when he makes the
proposal of which he has given notice
?a distinction due by the verdict of
popular opinion?British and foreign
?to a character of singulargrace and

Ants Used as Food.
The termites, or great white ants
which are highly esteemed as food in
Central Africa, live in great colonies
hiiiJ build enormous nins. as soon a
the rainy season begins, when the
termites are full grown and about to
leave their nests, they are regarded
most choice as edibles, and the man
ant eater then goes forth with his
axe and chops his way into th<*ir
dwelling place in order to kill them.

Artificial Honey.
Bee keepers in southern Italy are
becoming seriously alarmed at the
perfection which has been attained in
the manufacture of artificial honey.
The West India Committee's Circular,
rr ir\ + Via m-affor cave fhnf* t.hA
process of its manufacture is a very
simple one and involves the use of
the best quality of refined sugar and
its melting and boiling with the addition
to it of tartaric acid to the
extent of about one-tenth of one per
cent, of the weight of the sugar. It
must be boiled in au enameled vase,
under pressure for forty-five minutes.
The liquid will then have assumed a
golden color and on cooling will have
the consistency of ordinary honey. If
a little true honey is mixed with it the
mass will assume the flavor to such
an p.xtent as to be indistinguishable
from the genuine article.
v Bee keepers are endeavoring to obtain
legislation which shall enact that
some substance shall be added to artificial
honey so that it may be distinguishable
at a glance from the genuine
article. On the other hand, it is
claimed that the artificial honey may
be very useful to bee keepers because
by mixing it with inferior, or
unsalable honey, a marketable article
may be produced.
So many peanuts are eaten in this
country that the native supply is not
sufficient for the demand, and about
$3000 worth of the African nuts were
imported from Marseilles in 1906
and over $73,000 worth in 1907. The
west coast of Africa produces quantities
of peanuts.
Many important drainage projects
are under way in the marsh land of
Louisiana which will ultimately make
it a great agricultural country.
DROPPED COFFEE.
Doctor Gains 2C Founds on Postum.
A physician of Wash., D. C., says of
his coffee experience:
"For years I suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant.
So severe were they that sometimes
I was almost frantic. I was
sallow, constipated, irritable, sleepless;
my memory was poor, I trembled
and my thoughts were often confused.
"My wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for tnese ins
and urged me to drop it. I tried
many times to do so, but was its
slave. ?
"Finally wife bought a package of
Postum and persuaded me to try it,
but she made it same as ordinary
coffee and I was disgusted with the
taste. (I make this emphatic because
I fear many others have had the
same experience.) She was distressed
at her failure and we carefully read
the directions, made it right, boiled it
full 15 minute's after boiliag commenced,
and with good cream and
sugar, I liked it?it invigorated and
seemed to nourish me.
"That was about a year ago. Now
I have no headaches, am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my haud steady.
] have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a
new man.
"I do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. Of course dropping coffee
was the main thing,but I had dropped
It before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
"Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates ana aiuumsns. mis is no
Imaginary tale. It can be substantiated
by my wife and her sicter, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 70.
"I write this for the information
and encouragement of others, and
with s. feeling of gratitude to the inventor
of Postura."

was landed here from the steamer St
Denis. His long fight to prevent ex
tradition from Mexico thus came t<
an end.
Walker was brought from Esen
aga, Lower California, by T. F. Egan
Superintendent of the State Police o
Connecticut, and Detective Hoffman
of the Pinkertons.
A large crowd gathered at the piei
to see the prisoner landed, and then
, were many cameras pointed at th<
I gangplank when he started ashore
| But he kept his face hidden and wai
| hurried into a cab by ms two guaras
; He was driven to a restaurant, fol

Walker shows the heavy marks o

i beard of yellow-gray are straggly
and his face is pasty white and heav
ily seamed. He had not a penny
When he was captured in the mount
ains of Lower California he had onlj
$1.01 in his clothes, and this ha*
been spent.
After frequently declaring that h<
would have nothing to say to th<
newspapers, he finally made thii
statement:
"The fight is not yet over. I an
an innocent man. I did not like mj
treatment in Mexico. All the monej

bought some property. He then cam<
to San Diego, and from here went t(
Lower California, in Mexico.
,The route for the trip East has no

duced to $541,882. This includec
the funds of the Baptist Conventioi
of Connecticut, amounting to $50,
000.
Walker, while a fugitive, sent i
confession to the president of hi:
bank, in which he said that the los:
was occasioned by a bond swindli
into which he had been inveigled b;
a former employe of a Wall Stree
firm of brokers. The swindlers, In
alleged, got $110,000 in cash at om
time, and $24,000 at another time
It was also reported that he had beei
victimized by a gang of wire-tapper:
in New York City, who took severa
thousands from him.
When captured on the other sid<
of the Mexican boundary line Walke
put up a stiff legal fight to preven

turn of the malady. It was not until
^ | Saturday, the 27th, that the case as3
sumed a very serious phase. The
' j Bishop's condition varied for many
days.
j ! Bishop Potter had been Bishop of
I ' New York since 1886. He was elected
I Assistant Bishop in September, 1883.
' I His uncle, the Right Rev. Horatio
: Potter, Bishop of New York, was
* i then ill. A few months before he
f i became the successor of his uncle
3 j Henry C. Potter was invested with
I the full powers of Bishop and by the

j he became Bishop on the death of his
j : uncle, which occurred while the
| nephew was in Spain.on a journey for
x i the benefit of his health. Coadjutor

Washington, D. C.?To those who
leave their offices each noon to snatch
a hasty lunch, the Government has a
word of advice to offer. It is this:
Whenever a restaurateur offers you a
cracked mug and a chipped, seamy
plate on which food is served, flee it
as you would the pestilence. In the
recesses of those cracks lurk thou

distinction between the millionaire
employer and his $10 a week stenographer.
The Bureau of Chemistry, at the
head of which is Dr. Harvey W. Wiley,
has just concluded experiments
on cracked china utensils taken from
the lunch rooms of Washington. The
conditions they find to exist in the
restaurants here are duplicated iu
every big city. In New York and Chicago,
where trade at "quick lunch"
establishments is much greater, a far
larger population of germs is believed
to have taken up its abode in
the cracks and crevices of the table
service.
The examination of the chinaware
by the Government came about as a
result of a crusade being waged
against unhealthful kitchens and
J serving rooms in the District of Colj
umbia. With the approval of Secretary
Wilson and Dr. Wiley the Government
chemists were turned loose
on the trail. They discovered millions
of germs in the cracks.
Dr. George W. Stiles, bacteriological
chemist of the department, had
charge of the tests. Several dozen
cracked mugs, plates and saucers taken
at random from the counters of
lunch rooms and from the cafes of
hotels were examined. The result
was that Dr. Stiles discovered twentythree
distinct species of organisms
lurking in the cracks and seams. In
the final test it was found that these
organisms ranged in number from
! 4SG to 14,5SO,000 to every square
inch.
Nearly all of the bacteria belonged
I to the family of bacillus coli.
The bacillus coli is blamed as the
| cause of many inflammatory diseases,
among which is appendicitis.
Many of the other bacilli found in
I the cracked chinaware are due to unclean
conditions. These may not be
noticeable, and the kitchens of the
lunch rooms may be clean and spotless,
but the impossibility of cleansing
the utensils thoroughly when they
are cracked leaves the bacilli to increase
and multiply.

to snatch a substantial meal of cocoa
and chocolate eclairs as it is to the
man with the drooping mustache who
regales himself each noon on "coffee
and sinkers." The bacilli are no respector
of persons. Dr. Stiles, in
discussing the result of his tests,
says:
"This is a question which must
necessarily appeal to every responsible
individual who seriously considers
the matter of eating clean and wholesome
food. When we consider the
great number and variety of organisms
studied in relation to these
cracked mugs the question of household
sanitation becomes more imnerative
than ever, and a study of
the sanitary conditions in private and
I public life would in many instances
furnish startling results.
"Many of our hotels, public restaurants
and cafes are particular to
see that splendid serving rooms are
provided and elaborately furnished,
which from exterior appearances
seem to be all that could be desired
for the welfare and comfort of their
guests, but let one go behind the
scenes in many places and note the
changed conditions. The picture may
be entirely different from that expected.
"The sanitary aspect of refrigerators
and iceboj:es during hot weather
may develop conditions beyond human
toleratioik. Why people do not
take better c?\re of these places of
storage is difficult to say. However,
it is a regrettable fact that many such
places often contain highly objectionable
material, and if not intended for
immediate use it often contaminates
and ruins the entire contents of the
icebox.
"In concluding it seems highly desirable
to eliminatetheuse of cracked .
dishes for the reception of food materials,
and to make an appeal for a
more careful observance of the
known hygienic measures to protect
our food from unnecessary and undesirable
contamination."
Dr. Pasquale Grillo takes sharp issue
with Dr. Wiley. "Of course there
are germs in cracked china," ho said,
*'as there are in everything else in the !
universe. And it may be that som<? j
of these are bad instead of good. The
proportion of bad germs to good ones
is as 6 to 1,000,000,000. The bad
germ may kill you; the good one?
may be eaten by the spoonful without ;
harmful results. A healthy person j

Fleet Must Be "Footless."
Newport, R. I.?At the end of a
perilous sea trip from Oyster Bay to
Newport, during which his own and
his family's iives were imperilled
when the yacht Mayflower ran down
and sank a lumber schooner in the
Sound, President Roosevelt appeared
before the Naval War College here
and made the strongest plea he has
ever made for a greater navy.
The plea amounted to a Presidential
demand for more battleships,
more sailors and better fighting
equipment without delay. And casting
off the mask of diplomacy in
which he hitherto has veiled his public
utterances on this subject, the
President frankly gave the country
inferential notice that the restriction

Japau unless the navy is made big
enough to awe the Orientals into acquiescence.
The speech delivered to a body of
men, the majority of whom are fighting
officers, won instant approbation
and the President's trenchant demands
were enthusiastically applauded.

In a secret conference following the ,
public speech fourteen Rear-Admirals,
only a few of whom are on I
the retired list, faced the President. ,
He insisted, during the hour's discussion,
that existing methods must be '
revised if the maximum of con- I
structlve efficiency is to be attained ,
in the building of the nation's war
ships. He declared that a way must
be found to avert effectively such results
as have provoked recent criti- .
cism of certain constructive/features 1
of the new battleship North Dakota 1
and her sister ship, the Delaware, <
both of the Dreadnougnt type. Com- ]

Passages From President Roosc- '
velt's Speech Telling Why He
Demands a First Class Navy.
I want a resistless fighting navy,
because it is the most effective guar- 1
antee of peace that this country can
have.
No fight was ever won yet except
by hitting, and the one unforgivable ,
offense in any man is to hit soft.
When this nation does have to | '
to war, such war will only be
cusable if the nation intends to ham- |
mer its opponent until that opponent j |
quits fighting.
If war comes at any time in the (
future, that administration under ]
which it comes will indeed be guilty
of folly if it uses the fleet to protect 1
any port. Let the port be protected 1
by the fortifications.
The Monroe Doctrine won't be ob- | '
served by foreign nations with suf- j
ficient strength to disregard it, when j
once it becomes their interest to dis- i
regard it, unless we have a navy suf- 4
ficient to make our assertion of the j
doctrine good. ' j.
If we have a coast defense navy j
only we had better at once turn over ?
the Panama Canal to some stronger (
and braver nation. I '

have to exercise a continually greater

looks so bewitchingly tempting
that he kisses her, and the consequence
is she doesn't have a chance
