Attention cannot be too often called
to the following facts: The physicians
of the World Medical Institute are per-
manently located here, they are reliable ,
responsible and have a reputation to
sustain. They are men of the highest
skill and attachments in the medical
profession, especially schooled and
learned in their speciality. They treat
Chronic Diseases exclusively and have
every facility known to modern science
for the alienation of suffering. They
have had larger field of experience
than any specialists now practicing and
have long since gotten rid of the old
fogy notion that medical treatment to be
highly meritorious must be correspond
ingly expensive.
Their special offer of one months
treatment free, to all commencing a
course of treatment, expires March 1st,
and positively will not be continued after
hat date.

MUSCULAR WONDER,
4 Frenchman Who Can Control HE Whole
Anatomy It VIII.

a r renchman Who Can Control His Whole
Anatomy It WAL.
NJ. de Quatrefages. the French nat
uralist. reports the scientific examina-
ton of one Of the most remarkable
human curiosities or monstrosities ever
known. The person in question is Sim
con Acquire, who lives in one Of the
French provincial towns, and who has
control over his body to such a remark
able degree that reports concerning his
doings were all discredited up to the
time of the Quatrefages investigation.
1t was found. as had been reported,
that Acquire was not only an adept in
the arts of the contortionist, but that
he could, through his peculiar system
Of muscles and nerves, instantly cause
his flesh to appear rs II it had been
transformed into solid stone. When in
this peculiar condition his flesh could
be struck with a cane or with a metal
instrument, whereuppn it would give
off a ringing sound as though the blows
had fallen on marble statue. Assum-
ing a different attitude he would throw
his intestnes forward and appear as
one hideously deforned, and the next
moment he could draw them up into
the thorax and appear as a living skele-
ton. His statue pose and contortions
were wonderful indeed, but what most
astonished the investigators was
Acquires ability to control the circula-
ton of his blood. This he did to the
satisfaction Of all present by first stop
ping all circulation on one side Of his
body and then on the other. This he
effected by muscular contraction.

A CONTENTED LITTLE GIRL,
The Kind Man Who GAvo Poor People

The Kind Man Who Gavo Poor People
Brcad-Thc Smallest Loaf.
In a land acsoss the sea there was
once great famine. Many poor peo-
pie had to go hungry. aud could find
but little food for their boys and girls.
But there was one man who was not
only rich. but very kind. Every morn
ing he would send for number of lit
tie children, and give one loaf of bread
10 each. Some of the children, instead
of being grateful, would quarrel and
fight because each one wanted the
largest loaf. There was one little girl
who was very modest and quiet, and
who would always take just what
was given to her, and. with tears, kiss
the kind. good man. One day she came
home bringing a loaf that was only half
rs large as the others, and when her
mother asked her about it, she said that
the other children forced her t. take it.
because she was too small to resist
them.
but some one must have the small
loaf, mother, and l am glad we get
even this much said the little girl.
HeS mother kissed her tendcrly, and
was happy because her child had a con-
tented and grateful heart. The little
girl went out on the porch to knit.
while her mother prepared the meal.
Suddenly she heard her mother call to
her in frightened voice. Hurry. my
daughter" said she, run back to the
good man and give him this money.
When cut into the little loaf, num-
Der of bright silver pieces came rolling
out. The good man has made some
mistake and no doubt has already
missed this money"
Little Mary ran to give the silver to
its owner; but when she showed 1t to
him. the kind friend smiled.
mo, little Mary, it was no mistake.
I placed the money in the small loaf.
and it is yours. Because you are so
and willing to take tho
smaller gifts. you shall also enjoy the
greater ones. The greatest of all bless
ings you have already-a grateful and
unselfish heart. -. A. Matthews, In

DRAGGING IS FOOLISH.

ft II Far BETTER to Let Other People Stag
Your Praises.
In some paper lately dragging" was
spoken Of as a ''sin, and the especial
sin of the American people. But this
is a charge which is not entirely true.
Dragging is by no means confined to
the American people. And Dragging is
scarcely q ''sin," although it is a pro.
nounced form of Stiffness. For many
reasons, all sin is foolish. of course,
just as there is no boy SO great a fool
as the boy who does what he knows to
be wrong and who expects to gain
something by doing it. That can't be
done, and no one knows it better than
the boy who has tried it.
In the first place the braggart is fool
ish who brags Of what he is going to
do or going to have or going to be.
What's the use? People don't want to
hear you tell of what you arc ''going to
do" All they answer is: well. do it!
Have it! BE it! Then TALK" There
fore, don't talk beforehand. That is
foolish. Wait! People don't believe
you. They will laugh at you.
And again, the braggart is foolish
who talks of what he is, of what he
has or what he does, in the present. 1t
Is foolish because it is unnecessary. II
he is noble or great or brave he has no
need to talk about 1t at all. People will
know it. II he is doing great deed he
adds to the greatness of it by letting
his deed speak FOR itself. BE sure if the
deed is n grand one it will speak for
itself. People cannot help hearing or
seeing. So don't boast of what You arc
or have to do. Let your actions speak
for you.
And once more the braggart is fool
ish who boasts of what he used to be
or to have or what he used to do. Why?
Because If people do not know what
you have done or been they will only
laugh at your loud Boosting. And if
they do not there is no need for you to
speak of it at all. and you belittle your
own act when You boast Of it. The
wise way is to make what you do SO
great that it speaks itself, for that is
what actions do if they are great
enough. And then all you have to do
is to sit quiet and let other people sing
your praises.
If Dragging is a ''sin" it must be the
silliest sin there is. And that is saying
= great deal.-N. y. World.

Tobacco blindness can, fortunately,
be cured. With the smoking habit
abolished, plenty of outdoor exercise, a
good nerve tonic which would assist in
the publication of the blood as well as
toning up the general system and abb
stention from alcoholic beverages,
there is no reason why tobacco blind
ness cannot be cured. Alcohol, drunk
in any Of its forms, is liable to produce
tobacco blindness in q fairly heavy
smoker.
But the strangest part Of it all Is
that person does not have to smoke
tobacco to become afflicted with to-
bacco blindness. In fact, one of the
most obstinate cases l ever had was
that of n waiter in a city cafe. He was
a nonsmolser and a total abstainer. yet
he came to me with tobacco blindness
fully developed, ceused by being COM
PEELED to work all day in the atmos-
phere of tobacco smoke. breathing the
poisoned air polluted bv thirty or forty
smokers 1t is a wonder why more Of
the disease does not develop when this
is considered. But, fortunately, nature
is more kind TO us than we are to our
selves. so she gives us strength to throw
off many evils to which we are care

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HO:Y BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The Nm York Tribune SAYS: "The habit Of
taking headache powders is Increasing to an
alarming extent among great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders a.
their name indicates are claimed by the manu.
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their CHIEF
ingredient is morphine. opium. cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them q
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
Of. Women usually begin taking them to re-
lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to. and finally like the NOR
phine or opium 6end get into the habit Of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
If they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter Which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DIR.
