"The government is keeping the sharpest
watch on kilograms and letters TO and

pretends that the movement is OF little ac-
count and in some instances directed
against the United States, yet it is well
known that the movement has taken for
midaOle proportions and threatens TO ex-

states and hunger may drive the people to

A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir-I would like to tell you of our ex-
perience with your Liquid Food, for feel very
sure that in the mercy of God it saved my hus-
bands life
Two years ago. my husband worn out with ex-
cessive watching and anxiety by reason OF a
severe illness Of mine, together with the
pressure of his duties as principal of high
school, broke down completely, nervous ex-
haustion, severe rhematism, amounting almost
to rheumatic fever, and complete arrangement
of the digestive system, so that he could not
keep milk on his stomach, or the simplest nour-
ishment, brought him down very low.
Our physician, nearly in despair, tried one
thing after another, but all to no good. At last
he hit on your Liquid Food; the effect was mag
ical The very first dose made itself felt like a
thrill of new life; his Improvement was very
rapid, his appetite ravenous, and he gained flesh
very fast. His rheumatism too, which had
troubled him exceedingly for several years, was
very much relieved, and, in short, he seemed
and felt like new man. To all who knew him
and his former condition, he was walking
advertisement of Murdock's Liquid Food. Since
that time, when he becomes debilitated through
overwork or Indigestion a LITTLE of the Liquid
Food will soon set him right again.
Feeling that we both owe you large debt of
gratitude, and this acknowledgment of the
benefit received, am,
Yours respectfully,

EXCEEDINGLY EMBARRASSING.

Perplexity of a Polite Man Who Lost
His Equilibrium In Street Car.
| took them for newly married cou-
lie. Certainly if she had been married
gery long she would have known bet
er.
They got on south bound Clark
4treet car at Goethe street. She was
slender and graceful and had large
fetching dark eyes. He was extremely
polite. He helped her on the car very
tenderly. and after riding two blocks he
jumped up the instant very deshy ola
lady entered the car and offered her LIS
seat. with a low bow-a sure indication
that he was just married and doing 1t
for effect
Then he hung on a strap and bent
down and kept up the conversation
which seemed largely made up of irrele-
want remarks and highly relevant
chances. Presently he discovered that
he could stoop lower if he let go the
strap.
He had just availed himself of this
discovery when the train swooped around
the curve at Illinois street. He flung up
his arms, made one frantic, Intellectual
grab for the strap, swayed gracefully
half around, and sprawled out over the
fat old lady's lap as the car stopped.
His pink and white cheeks turned scar
lei. He scrambled half way to his feet
and began, Il beg
Just as he was in the act of re-estab-
fishing his equilibrium and simultane-
ously uttering the apology, the car gave
the sharp jerk and quick, strong pull of
starting. He clutched the incorporeal
air and went down with the words on
his lips-fat, full length on the beastly,
muddy floor. 1t was too bad, but every
body laughed.
Yes. she laughed. She put her slim,
black gloved hand, with a film of scent
ed handkerchief in it, up to her mouth
and her black eyes danced at him.
He got up. scowled very darkly at the
gentleman who had said ''Whoop-e-eP
as he went down, and washed patch OF
mud off his coat sleeve. Then he looked
at her laughing eyes. For an instant he
tried to look amused; then he straight
ened his face out severely and went over
and looked out of the door.
AS he started into the tunnel he looked
around The handkerchief was still at
her mouth and her body swayed slightly
as from repressed emotion. A deep,
straight line came into his forehead
and he stepped a little farther away.
Half way through the tunnel he looked
around again. The instant she met his
eye she dropped the handkerchief to her
mouth just in time to suppress a ripple
of laughter. He went out on the plat
form and banged the door behind him.
At Madison street he opened the door
and stood stiff as statue until she
walked out. She looked over her shout
der into his face as she passed him, but
there was an irrepressible twinkle in her
eyes. and he stepped to the ground after
her without unbending. Chicago News.

How the Peach Was Produced.

That the luscious peach has been de-
rived from the hard shelled almond can
no longer be successfully denied. 1t is
said that the peach in it's original soil
was vi1ulent poison, and that the Per

the seeds and planted them for the pur-
pose of poisoning the points of their ar
rows so as to render wounds caused by
them to be fatal. but change Of climate
and soil produced fruit which is not
