Bacteria the Foundation of All Ills

1t is now almost universally admitted that
bacteria or microbes are the Indirect agents
OF all zvmotic diseases. such as cholera,
typhoid fever, diphthera, scarlet fever,
eryslpelas and tubercular consumption.
These germs belong to the domain of botany
and are the simplest and minutest organ
isms of which we have any knowledge.
They inhabit nearly all kinds of matter.
They are always found in the air we
breathe, the food we eat, and even the
purest natural waters are never free from
them. Bacteria are also the most prolific
organisms of which we have any knowledge,
for a single bacterium may become the
causative parent of more than $500, 600 de-
scendants in day. They are also possessed
of great vitality, for they can he carried
great distances in water without losing the
power of producing disease. 1t is difficult
to annihilate some of these germs, for they
can be frozen or even boiled without being
destroyed. They may be kept dried for
years, and yet when placed in suitable
medium will produce fermentation and de-
cay. or If pathogenic, se.-Engneerng

and proof-reader on the Evening Mirror.
Here became invaluable for the taste with
with l set up the headings for the news
columns and display advertising. The
editors would specially request me to DO the
first kind of work and the publisher was so
well satisfied with the manner in which I
set up the advertisements that when he left
the paper to go On the Merchants Ledger
he induced the proprietor of that journal
to employ me at 81 a week more than he
was paying the man that he then had.
ANY success that has come to me has
been due largely to the fact that have al
ways endeavored strictly to attend to bust
ness. Let me give an Illustration: When
l was boy In printers Office and it came
along 3 or o'clock in the afternoon, would
say to myself, suppose the proprietor should
come up to where we are at work and say,
Robert, what have you been doing to-day?'
what would | answer? He never did such
thing. but | used to reason to myself, sup
pose he were to do it, If could not with
pride and pleasure, point tn what | had
been doing, would pack up at o'clock
and leave the place.
II consider that kind of spirit Is an ele-
ment of success, and there is always room
for young men who show that kind of dis
position. The indolent boy who shftlessly
goes through his days work will never
reach the goal of success. The youth who
Is continually watching the clock, waiting
until it shall strike e, and tries to kill time
wen, IL Will not De long before time Will
kill him, so far as business is concerned
And the business man must not bend his
energies so much to the making of money as
to making a success of the enterprises in
which lie is engaged. While l had worked
at the printers trade in Hartford and New
York had managed to save a little money.
The proprietor of the Merchants Ledger,
on which | was employed in New York,
became interested in new kind of printing
press, and | was able to buy the paper from
him and eventually transformed it from
class or mercantile journal into a great
family paper. | have told people that did
not try to make money, but l tried to make
4 success of my business. The miser who
wants to clutch on every dollar he can lay
his hands on would not say to publisher,
Il will take your whole paper for advertis-
ing purposes next Saturday. The miser or
mere money maker could not do that; he
could not find it in his heart to part with
tie price of the advertising. You must
spend money if you want to make money"

A SCENE AT A FUNERAL.
An Estranged Father Prevented From
Kissing His Dead Daughters Itps

An Estranged Father Prevented From
kissing His Dead Daughters Lips.
There was an exciting scene at the funeral
of Mrs. Cora Titus, wife of a Nckel-P late
engineer, at Fort Wayne, Ind. The funeral
services were held at the United Brethren
Church, after which the remains were ex-
posed to view. The husband and his family
were the first to take a last look at the face
The friends of the dead woman were then
invited to view the remains. MIR. Kariger,
the aged father of the deceased then moved
slowly toward the casket. For moment lie
gszed at the dead form, then he leaned over
to impress kiss on the lips OF his daughter
A. that moment Titus started up, and, with
his face white with rage, he cried: Here,
none of that You did not treat her like a
daughter when she was living and you shall
not kiss her," He then made furious rush
upon the old man and general fight seemed
imminent The church was at once a scene
OF confusion, but friends nterfered and the
funeral cortege passed on to the cemetery.
1t appears that Mrs. Titus testified against
her father in lawsuit some years ago and
this caused an estrangement between them

low. TIE latter. for some reason, gave the
starting rope pull. The elevator shot up,

ST oulders out of the door when lie was
caught between The top of the door and the
noor oil the elevator, and his limbs, back

unfortunate mans bones cracked like dry
twigs, and he uttered several piercing
screams. As the elevator came up tight
with the top of the door and crushed the
helpless victim, the blood gushsd from his
mouth and nose. Bryan Immediately
rushed to the rope and stop ed the elevator
and. assisted by R'fferto, they laid the
dying youth on the floor OF the lunch-room.
Costello was dead by this time, having
gasped but once after being extricated.

THE CAUSE FOUND.

Tho cause OF chronic diseases has at
last been discovered.
Peorle have taken "Blood Purifiers I"
and wondered why there was no perma-
nent benefit derived.
Or. Shoop has taken step in advance
of all others, by giving special study to
the cause of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain nerpes have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all inteindl organs. When
these nerves are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this lack Of nerve force.
