AN ACTRESSES NAUGHTY BOOK.
She Attempts Z" Arrange Compromise e
with Mr.. Anthony Comstocis.

Not long ago fashionably-atti
young woman called at the Office of
Ehc New York Society for the SUP
preston of Vice and asked TO see the
writer, says the agent of the society in
the North fBI .ricn RtUjetC. She want
cd to know ii it was against the law to
publish :: spicy book" | looked at
her in amaZemcnt. as she was yonng
of sIight form aud very Intelligent APP
peaTamce. when, with perfect sang
froid, she informed me that she was
an actress and had written peculiar
book, which she unblushinglv de-
scrihed, to bring her name prominent
ly before the public. She had takeu
her manuscript to Il publisher who.
after looking it over. had advised her
10 submit it to our society. She then
inquired il | would promise not 10
touch the book if she could secure Il
publisher for it. Being informed that
such Il book would surely be seized if
published, she wished to know if she
could not pay us not to attack the book
if published as she had prepared it!
Pains were taken to inform her OF The
various decisions of the courts of
''i' anu thlS y. aIu
she was advised, with great min
uteness. of the law and its bearings
upon such publications. Receiving a
very emphatic negative to her delicate
proposition that she should pay some
money not to have her book attacked.
she next asked whether, if she should
change the book SO as to make it con-
form to the law. we would not 'at-
tack it just little and seize Il few
copies if she paid lis for doing so rs to
attract attention and get the news
papers to notice it. This proposition
brought only another disappointment
10 her hopes. She said she did not
care about any odium from publishing
the book; the only thing she was
anxious about was that we should
promise not 10 arrest her. rs she did
not want 10 be arrested and locked up.
1t was suggested to her that she had
better submit her manuscript for ex-
animation. Sle said she would. only
she was afraid it WAS so bad that we
would destroy it. We assured her
that if her manuscript was of doubtful
character we would submit it to the Dis
trict Attorney for his opinion. She
finally left, expressing sorrow and re-
gret that she had come to our Office, as
now she would not dare to publish
her book, rs she had set her heart upon

THE CAUSE FOUND.

The cause of chronic diseases has at
last been discovered.
People have taken Blood Purifiers "
and wondered why there was no perma
nent benefit derived.
DR.. 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 nerueS have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs. When
these nerUeS 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 11erue force.
DIR. ShOOp's Restorative is a
stomach, liver and kidney cure, as it acts
upon the nerves that control these organs.
Not "Nervine," but a nerve food. It
aids digestion, cures dyspepsia and bill
iousnes by remouing the cause.
Is it not reasonable 7

ordinance forbidding Hebrews to observe their

peliing them to work on Saturday in violation
Of their faith and to close shop on Sunday the
tyranny OF the car and the Greek church is
fully great as has been reported. But the
despotism exerted is not simply over the con-
science. The poor Jews are driven forth from
all the borders Of Russia with eruelties that
were thought to be confined to uncivilized
tribes and to the fierce days Of persecution in
the long past. From time to time denials Of
these outrages are published. but as there is a
hegira of ill-treated Hebrews into Germany
and other countries the stories received would
seem to be true.
