Vigorous Body and Joyous Spirits
Before Winter,

Sunshine and bright weather are the
heritage from August to September; but
this is month of dangerous weakness
to hundreds of people.
The first tendencies toward consump-
ton, Bright's disease, and rheumatism
are developed in these early fall days.
Nature is off her guard
Rheumatism and neuralgia are motor
iously diseases that begin in September
and October.
The little signs of nervousness, of kid
ney trouble, and heart weakness should
not be overlooked. Small ailments now
become deep-seated diseases in winter.
Winter is for every one more or less OF a
battle for health and existence.
The stock of health laid up against
winter emergencies must be secured now.
Headaches and loss of appetite are as
easy to read as sign posts. Their in
variable directions that one is approach
ing nearer and nearer to breakdown and
serious illness.
Following the modern medical knowl-
edge that disease is due to poor nutri-
ton of some organ, Pane's Celery Com
pound was first prescribed by Dart
mouths great professor, DR.. Phelps.
Results that have repeatedly astonish-
ed many for whom skilfu physicians
could do no more, confirm the wisdom
of trusting all to nutrition-the COM
pete and speedy nourishment of tissues,
and nerve centers. Paine's Celery Com
pound supplies the material which the
nervous system Graves.
Pure blood and healthy nerve action is
health.
Paine's Celery Compound is food for
the nerves and nourishment for the blood.
Health, strength, and happiness have
never had such an ally before as is offer
ed by this great compound. 1t makes
people well.

o'clock his morning. The building is
surrounded by tenements of equal

u tie first alarm. Flames had been
seen coming through the basement door,
from the workshop of Abraham Fleisch-
a baker. ,
The flames were shooting up an air

Two more alarms were quickly sounded.
Considerable trouble was experienced

building. but when that was done the
fire was quickly under control.
There was no one in the building when

Burglar Billy H0ven's Clever Coup Which
Won Him o. Fortune.

they drifted on, never getting a sight
Of the burglar, until the crimes were
called Billy Ravens jobs, and finally the
unknown craftsman came to be called
Billy Haven.
As a general thing, where Billy Haven
was at work. the inmates Of the house
never knew a robbery had been COM
mitted until next morning. Billy and
his gang left almost no trace of their
visit except the disappearance OF the
most valuable things in the residence.
At last these neat burglaries ceased
and there were no traces OF Billy for
years. 1t Is probable that the authorities
would e have known any particulars

entrance into the house at about 8
o'clock in the evening. In perfect legal
form; the inspector was to arrest Mr..
Slider, who might. Of course. be indig-
nant. but the ~conspiIators expected that
the respect a banker has for the forms
OF Law at least insured submission under
protest, and while the inspector stood
guard over the arrested man, two of the
alleged policemen were to be posted so
that no one could leave the house, even
ger away. which was not likely, because
of his certainty that this was a mistake
which could easily be cleared up. The
other two alleged policemen could then
search the house under the protection of
a bogus search warrant, n quietly Sc
crete all the valuables and money thai
they could lay their hands on. The in
spector then intended to tell Mr.. Slider
that, because OF his protests, he would
not take him to Jail. but that he must
understand that he was under arrest.
and that he might nave to report to the
head officer when called upon to do so.
Billy imagined that the time which must
intervene before the news OF the I'M
warranted arrest reached the real police
would give him all the opportunity he
wanted to cover his tracks and secrete
his spoil.
This plan worked admirably up to a
certain point. when Billy and his pals
were treated to a Supplying surprise.

admitted the officers OF the law into the
grounds. He was then ordered to lock

banker, a man intimately connected with
numerous prosperous companies, and a
man of great reputed wealth. The name
of Slider was a power in the city. Billy's
Investigations led him to the knowledge
that Mr.. Slider was n most careful man,
who had arranged every electrical ap-
pliance then known for the discovery of
a burglar. He appeared to realize that II
once a burglar got entrance into the big
house the family would be, comparatively
speaking, at his mercy: and 30 1t was
that every window was protected by half
a dozen different devices. The door mats
and windows were so arranged that after
everybody went to bed the lightest
football on OF them would light all
the electric lamps in the house: would
ring a large bell in the tower; would
telegraph a warning to the nearest police
station and would set more gongs ring
ing all over the place than a burglar
who was at all nervous cared to hear.
Billy realized then that the ordinary
methods OF a burglar would have a ten
dency to fail II applied to the big house
standing In Its own extensive grounds.
and 60 he resolved that when he and his
pals entered the house 1t would be by
the door and not by one of :he windows,
/ and 1t would be at a time when the
family had not retired to rest.
Billy's plans. when matured. were very
simple. He obtained the costume OF a
police inspector for himself and the
clothes OF an ordinary policeman for each
of his four pals He got, likewise. a very
good imitation OF a warrant for arrest,
made out In the name OF Mr.. Slider.
