The Kaiser at the Telephone.


Emperor William II. has his own i'm
perial way of using the telephone, says
the Appeal-Avalanche. Despite mis-
takes caused by the emperor's refusal
to name himself at the opening of his
conversation, as other people do, he in
variably introduces his telephoned
orders merely with the words: 81 COM
mand that" and so forth. AS soon as
a chief of department hears these
words he motions that his subordinates
must at once leave the room The sig
nificance of this arrangement is sup
posed to be that the chief is having
something of an audience with his
majesty, and that it would be pre-
sumptuous for person not summoned
to hear the imperial voice to occupy
the room into which its tones are con-
veyed. At the end of the conversation
the emperor walks away without say
ing "good-by," and the chief with
whom he has conversed must listen
for five or six minutes afterward tc
make sure that the imperial orders
have been completed. Then he calls
back his assistants and the usual eti-
uuette is resumed.

Enterprising tradesmen, in the dis

backward in utilizing the lists of dis
tinguished persons which are printed
in the newspapers from time to time,
says the New York Times. Not infre-
quently do they get hold of the names
of men who long since passed over to
chat undiscovered country" and cir
culars and prospectuses are mailed to

autograph letter, saying: 81 am anx-

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of tna brain, and that when these are
deranged the rgans which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When 1t is re-
membered that serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
prevented by che injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement OF the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force
Two-thirdS of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centerS at
the base of the brain, not from q derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
Dr. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache dizZi-
ness dizziness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy insanity, epilepsy, st.
Vitus dance, ETC., are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of
DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact that it is based on the foregoing principle.

all druggists on a positive guarantee. or sent
