FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom of Stomach Trouble Corrected
by Good Food.
There Is. with some forms of stomach
trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which Is frequently mistaken for
a "good appetite." A lady teacher
writes from Carthage. Mo., to explain
how with good food she dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger.
"I have taught school for fifteen
years, and up to nine years ago had
good, average health. Nine years ago,
however, my health began to fail,
and continued to grow worse steadily.
In spite of doctor's prescriptions, and
everything I could do. During all this
time my appetite continued good, only
the more I ate the more 1 wanted to
eat?1 was always hungry.
"The first symptoms of my breakdown
were a distressing nervousness
and a loss of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stomach
troubles, which were very painful,
constipation which brought on piles,
dyspepsia and severe nervous headaches.
"The doctors seemed powerless to
help me. said I was overworked, and
at last urged me to give up teaching,
if I wished to save my life.
"But this I could not do. I kept on
at it as well as 1 could, each day growing
more wretched, my will-power
alone keeping me up, till at last a <
good angel suggested that I try a diet <
of Grape-Nuts fQpd, and from that
day to this I have found it delicious 1
always appetizing and satisfying.
"1 owe my restoration to health to <
Grape-Nuts. My weight has returned t
and for more than two years I have j t
been free from the nervousness, con- ! 1
Etlpation. piles, headaches, and all the f
ailments that used to punish me so. j i

easily." Name given by Postum Co., i

PLAYING I
By CLAUD]
(Copyrifbt. igu. by Ass
Miss Cleo Gates was visiting her
lister, Mrs. George Marshall. Mr. Marshall
was general manager of the department
store of Moses^ Waicright.
Therefore. Miss Cleo heard much
shop talk. About the only thing that
interested her, however, was the talk
about shoplifters. The store was
constantly troubled with them, and it
was cnly at long intervals that one
was caught, although a store detective
was supposed to have her eyes everywhere.
One night when the manager came
home to say that goods worth $200
had been lifted that day from under
the nose of the store watchdog,
who was a young woman of 25, and
that the would be discharged at the
end of the week. Miss Cleo announced,
in a very serious tone:
"I i.m a natural born detective."
A laugh greeted the words.
"I have solved several difficult
cases."
More laughing.
"A year ago when this diamond ring
was suddenly missing, father and moth
er said it was a case that would never
be solved. After devoting one day to
thought I walked Into the kitchen and
told the cook she was the thief. She
broke down at once."
"That Is. she confessed?" said Mr.
Marshall.
"No, she did not confess. She turned
red and white and burst Into
tears, and within an hour she skipped
out."
"And the ring?'
"I found it on the shelf over my lavatory.
She. of course, had placed it
there on finding that she was suspected.
Father said the police couldn't
have worked the case better."
"Keenest, brightest thing I ever
heard of!" replied the manager. "If

we only had you In the store we could
Bll a po'lce station with shoplifters in
sido of a week."
The natural born detective felt hurt
at the words and would say no more,
although Invited to relate some of
ber other cases. Her mind had in
Btantly been made up to a certain
thing, however, and next day she pro
eeeded to carry her plan into execution.
With no hint to her sister,
who would oppose it, she made her
way to the store of Moses &. Wainright.
She wanted to get an eye on
the afternoon shoppers. She had a
feeling that she could tell a shoplifter
on sight. The criminal might be
a well dressed woman with diamonds
In her ears, and she might pretend to
be at es.se, but there would be a furtive
look, a something in look or walk
to give her away.
Miss Cleo passed from counter to
counter, looking for guilty parties. She
spotted and followed two or three
about, but they seemed to receive a
mysterious warning and kept hands
off. There was one old dame who
might nave pocketed three yards o'
lace if she hadn't looked up and
caught the girl's eye on her. Miss
Cleo finally retired from the store
with the feeling that if she had caused
10 arrest she had at least frightened
i number of shoppers into being hoo>st.
At dinner that evening, she
lidn't feel so self-satisfied, however. 1
dr. Marshall reported that never had
he shoplifters been so busy. There
tiad been no less than seven cases
right under the noses of the brightest
salesgirls.
Should that report discourage a natural
born detective? Not In the slight- 1
est. It should stimulate her to great- i
er exertions. That's what it did In
Miss Cleo Gate's case. She had been
put on her mettle, and she would istonish
her brother-in-law and oth?rs.
Very few good looking young
women who have set out to astoni h
'oiks have made a failure of it. It
was back to the store the next afterloon
for Miss Cleo. A bright thought
?track her as she crossed the threshed.
From all she had read and heard
[he shoplifting business was confined
to her sex. The store detective h J

watch the men?
Miss Cleo saw a young man sauntering
about. She first noticed that
he was well dressed and had a fair

about In what she considered a furtive
way. Then he walked up to the Jewelry
show case and drummed on the
glass. Then he went over to the perfumery
counter and asked the price
of a bottle of cologne. Thence he
walked to the door and looked up and
down, as If to see whether there was a
policeman about or not. Being satisfied
on this point, he walked back to
the book counter, picked up one book
after another, and finally walked off

look back, and then climbed the stairs.
The girl had the criminal run to earth.
She re-entered the store, was taken
up to the manager's office, and astonished
him with announcing:
"George, I have been doing detec- j
tive work downstairs unbeknown to
you or Sarah, and 1 have caught a
shoplifter. He may be the head of
tho gang!"
"You don't tell me! Where is he?"
"I didn't want to create excitement
in the store, and so 1 trailed him to
his lair."
"Good girl! Where Is It?"
"Right across the road and upstairs.
He can be arrested in five
minutes."
"You'll have to come along and
point him out."
"Oh, I'll do that."
At the store doors they picked up
a detective. When the trio had crossed
the street and the Btairway had
been pointed out, Mr. Marshall Bald
to the girl:
"There are a dozen offices up there,
and a studio or two, and we mustn't
bungle this case. Sure you can iden- i
tify your man again?"
"In an Instant."
"I can't believe that any of these
people are shoplifters. We'll look in
on Paul first and ask him what he
thinks. Right In here."
They entered a studio. At a desk
sat a young man with an open book [
before him. There were paintings on
easels und paintings on the walls.
"Hello, George!" from tho young
man to Mr. Marshall.
"Hello, Paul."
"That is the man and there is the ;
book!" exclaimed the natural born detective
as Bhe stood erect and pointed
an accusing finger.

son of his father, who is the Wain- j
wright of our firm."
It took flvo long minutes to make
it clear that Mr. Paul Wainwright had 1
borrowed instead of shoplifted, and I
that there was nothing coming to him j
in the way of punishment, and there '
were apologies and "don't mention Its" i

Something About Dreams.
Dreams are due to an increase of
sensation and circulation over that
which exists In profound sleep. Observations
made upon patients with
cranial defects show that when we are
dreaming the brain is greater in volume
than in deep sleep, and less than
when we are awake. Thus this inter- i
mediate volume of blood would indicate
that dreams are an intermediate
stage between unconsciousness and
wakefulness, and their incomplete and
Irregular intelligence would indicate
the same thing. This increased circulatlon
is usually due to sensory stimulation
afTecting the vasomotor center
and causing a return of blood to the
head, with resultant increased consciousness.
Contrary to popular belief.
dreams in themselves do not con
tribute to light or broken sleep in
which they are present. Such a condition
is due to the ever-present stimuli
which, according to their strength
or the degree of irritability of the
cells, maintain even in sleep a vary- !
lug degree of consciousness of which
the dreams are merely a manifestation.
Therefore the fatiguing effect often also
attributed to dreams is not due to
them, but to the lighter degree of
sleep and less complete cell-restoration
which they accompany, and which
are due to some irritation.?Fred W. i

BlACK HAWK STATUE [
Lorado raft's Monument to
Vanishing Race.
/led Man, Towering Over Valley Long
Indians' Sole Property, Seems
Leaving the Site Reluctantly
?Made of Concrete.
Oregon, 111.?With impressive ceremonies
the statue of the famous Indian
chief Black Hawk was dedicated at
Eagle Nest camp, the summer colony
of Chicago artists and writers, near j
here. The statue of the great chieftain
Is the work of Lorado Taft and
stands on a 200-foot bluff across the
river from the town and just outside
the limits of the camp. Among the
1 members of the party at the dedication
were some of the best known of
fhlcago's artists, sculptors and writers.
Edgar A. Bancroft was the principal
tpeaker and presented the statue to
the people of illinois. Responses were
made by Dr. Charles C. Eastman and
Miss Laura M. Cornelius.
The statue of Black Hawk occupies
a position on the highest point In
Rock river valley. It is mammoth in
size?being 47 feet high?and represents
the work of four years. It is
built of concrete and is expected to be
a permanent monument to the red men
who once roamed this section. The
facial lineaments are of Black Hawk,
but the sculptor's Idea was to make
the statue typical of the vanishing
North American Indians.
The figure of Black Hawk Is represented
girt in a blanket, reluctantly
leaving the valley which served his
tribe as council grounds long before
the white man came to this continent.
This remarkable statue, which is
made of re-enforced concrete by a new
process, is itself imposing, and has
been placed upon a rock 200 feet above
the water, the highest point in the picturesque
Rock river valley. The statue
\ Jg\
Statue of Black Hawk.
Is visible for many miles, and hundreds
of people came from adjacent
cities in Illinois to view and admire It.
Should this work weather well and
preserve its fine contour and lines, Mr.
Taft thinks It Is probable it will mark
an era in the erection of statuary In
re-enforced concrete.
On leaving the grove which bordered
the roadway climbing the bluffs, the
statue appeared In its majesty on the
bank of the river. There was no unveiling,
as Mr. Taft wished the first
sight of the monument to be one of its
entire majesty.
Ilelow, midstream, lies Margaret Fuller's
island, sacred to the memory of
Madam de Ossoli, the poetess who
once lived here. Two miles distant,
beyond the oak groves, rise the spires
of Oregon. Mr. Taft's other works, tho
Indian "Paducah" in the city of that
name in Kentucky and '"The Eternal
Silence," the Graves monument in
Graceland cemetery, Chicago, have a
similar feeling of majesty to that of
ills latest creation.

130,000,000 pounds of steel, as compared
with the 100,000.000 of its predecessor.
It will cost when completed
not less than $12,000,000, and will

The construction of this bridge,

is an Impressive Indication of the
progress of mechanical and civil engineering
since the Brooklyn bridge
was opened to trafllc, May 24, 1883.
The latter required 13'i years to

Child V/anted Original of Portrait That
Had Been Made So Familiar
to Her.
An amusing incident is related of
a young service matron who had relinquished
her husband for two years
and who, having before his departure
insisted on a good photograph, applied
herself assiduouly to the upbringing
of her two-year-old baby with a view
to the child's familiarity with her dis
tinguished father. Each day she would
call the baby girl to her and, kneeling
beside her, would hold up the photograph,
pointing out each feature to
the child.
One day the officer came home, and
the baby girl, then four years old,
was summoned. "Come, dear," said
the mother in glee, "pspa has come
home at last!" The child surveyed'
the officer in perplexity and finally
6hook her head.
"What is the matter, dear?" asked
her mother. "Well," replied the child,
"he looks something like my papa, but
my papa hasn't any legs!"
DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS
"Some time ago I was taken with
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist. It began with scales on my
body. I suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. I was
greatly disfigured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as if they had
been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. I suffered
untold agony and pain. I tried two
doctors who said I had eczema in its
fullest stage, and that it could not
be cured. I then tried other remedies
to no avail. At last, I tried a set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore I cannot
praise them too highly.
"I Buffered with eczema about ten
month3, but am now entirely cured,
and I believe Cuticura Remedies are
the best skin cure there is." (Signed)

"I had suffered from eczema about
four years when bolls began to break
out on different parts of my body. It
started with a fine red rash. My
back was affected first, when it also
nver mv face. The Itching was
almost unbearable at times. I tried
different soaps and salves, but nothing
seemed to help me until I began to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

With hundreds of millions of Bibles
In existence and several millions moro
printed every year. It Is somewhat difficult
for us to imagine how knowledge
of the written Bible, and of the exact
tenor of Its teachings could be lost.
Some facts will help us to understand.
There were at that time very few
copies of the sacred books In existence.
They were very expensive. It
was customary for these copies to be
kept in the temple, while the copy
which (according to the law) was
made for the use of the king, would
most certainly have perished under
such kings as Manasseh and Amon.
Very few of the people could read the
law even If It had been within their
roach A modem Illustration is the
case of Europe before the reformation,
where even in the monasteries the Bible
was almost an unknown book. Lu- j
ther was twenty years old before he
ever saw a copy.
It Is plain that the finding of this
book "was not the discovery of something
unknown before, but the rescuing
of the temple copy of the law from
the hiding place In which it had long
lain." It must have been the ancient
copy of the law, and not a book written,
as some critics think, by unknown
persons in the reign of Manasseh,
never seen or used among the Jews
before. That an unknown book with
no authority behind it should produce
the effect on Josiah and his people,
which this book of the law produced,
borders on the absurd. Moreover many
of the laws must have been familiar to
Josiah for they had been acted upon
by his ancestors in every reform, and
by himself In the reforms he began six
years before, in the twelfth year of his
reign. It would have been impossible
to Impose upon the people, nnd make
them believe that a new book, never
before heard of, was the law of their
kingdom from God.
When they brought out from the old
chests In tho temple the money contributed
for repairs, which had been
deposited In the safest hiding place,
Hllklah the priest, who had charge of
the money, in searching the chest
found at the bottom a book of the law
of the Lord, the law given by Moses.
Hilklah delivered the book to Shaphnn

the Bible so poorly that people were
not interested in it. listened carelessly.
and liked It less than if It had been
unread. Then the printing of the Revised
Version is so solid as to be unattractive
and difficult to use. By lessening
its authority. It makes a vast
difference in the power of the Bible,
whether it is received as only the
thoughts of men. or as a message from
God. By neglecting all the light that
is shining upon it from many sources.
Find the Bible?Get acquainted with
it. Read it. Study It. Know what la
in it. One of the best things in the
Sunday school, in the Epworth League
and Christian Endeavor movement is
their emphasis on the daily reading of
the Bible. Practice its precepts. Only
by doing God's will can one understand
it. Use It as a guide book for dally
life. Sometimes boys in school and
college have lltle Interest in their
studies because they do not see any
practical use in them. But as soon as
j they see how they guide to success, or
are essentia; to their alroi, they

as the fitting person to ?how It to the
king. When Shaphan reported the
contributions and the work on the tempie,
he brought the book with him, told
how It had been found, and read It to
the king.
The king heard the book read, nnd
he assembled the elders and priests,
and the Ix?vltes. They made a public
covenant and pledge. The king himself
first made a public covenant before
the 1 ^ord. to walk after the I^ord,
and to keep his commandments, with
nil his heart.
This was very similar to the great
meeting under Joshua on the slopes of
Mount Ebal and Gerlzim eight centurleB
before, on taking possession of
the Promised Land. The same motives
were presented, and the same covenant
made. And the king might well
have said to the people as Joshua did "Ye
are witnesses against yourselves
that ye have chosen you the Lord, to
serve him." And they said, "We are
witnesses."
The covenant was made under the
power of the strongest and best motives
that could be brought to bear
upon them, when their minds were uplifted
Into clearest vision, above the
smoke and clouds or eartn. mat was
the right time to make a decision. God
has given us feelings on purpose to
move us to decide aright.
Joslah restored the regular tempi*
services under the priests and Levltes;
and he celebrated a passover.
ouch as had not been celebrated from
the days of the judges that Judged Israel,
nor In all the days of the kings
of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah. !
From all parts of the land the people
flocked up to tho renovated temple and
Joined with every demonstration of
gladness in the eight days' festivity
prepared for them. Thirty thousand
males of full age attended. During all
these days the services of the temple
choir were brought Into requlistion?
the singers of the famous clan of
Asaph chanting. In relays, the psalms
for the season, appointed centuries before
by David, Asaph and .loduthun.
The Bible may be lost today by neglecttng
it?neglecting to read If dally.
Neglecting family reading and prayers.
Neglecting to read its stories to little
chlldreu. By disobeying It. Disobeying
Its precepts dulls the conscience,
and the whole moral nature, so that It
may be said, "Eyos have they, but
they see not, ears have they but they
hear not."
By being so absorbed in worldly
things that while he henreth the word
wl?h his ears, "the care of this world,
and the dereftfulness of riches, choke
the word, and he becometh unfruitful."
By keeping the Word far from
dally life, so that all Its blessed truths
nr?- admired, but not geared on to right
action. They are to be hearers "as a
very lovely song of one that hath a
pleasant voice and can play well on an
Instrument; for they hear thy words,
but they do them not."
By making the Bible unattractive. I
have heard a number of ministers read
CURE THAT SORE THROAT !
Sore throat is inflammation of the s'
mucous membrane of the throat, and a
if this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore v
throat will exist. a
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a |,
preventative and a cure for soro
throat because it possesses cxtraor
dinary cleansinR, healing and germicidal
qualities. Just a little in a glass t
of water, used as a gargle, will quick- j
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen t
the mucous membrane of the throat, .
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid antiseptics
or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and 50c a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt, of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.
