came to California last October from
the east in perfect health, but about the
first week in November I sprained my
right ankle. I caught cold in it and it
inflamed badly. l went to private hos
pital for treatment and remained five
weeks undergoing treatment and suf-
fering most excruciating pains. l then
was advised by the attending physicians
to have my leg cut off. ] thought my
case was not understood by them and 1
left the hospital. AT this time / had
five bad wounds in my leg and could not
put my foot to the ground and had to

Guilty. l had friend who was taking
treatment from DR.. 7. Foo Yuen. My
friend was an eastern lady afflicted
with asthma, diabetes and other compli-
Gated diseases. She had been treated by
the best specialists in the east without
much relief. but after taking DR.. Foo's
remedies she began to improve right
along. She brought me one of DR.. Foo's 3
pamphlets, giving an account of little
Clara Humphreys case, which l read
with great interest, but was very skep-
tical about Chinese doctors, and did not
pay much attention to it at the time.
Later, however, upon inquiry and nves-
tigation l found that Clara Humphrey
was perfectly cured One day my friend
asked me to go to DR.. Foo's Office for her
medicines and requested me to let DR..
Foo feel my pulse and diagnose my case.
l did SO and was satisfied he knew what
he was about and I concluded to take
his remedies at once.
He assured me that he could cure my
leg by July; it was then the middle Of
April. So he gave me medicines and in
July my leg was perfectly cured.
There are two photographs by Steckel,
22O South Spring street, to be seen at
the doctors Office, showing the begin
ming of my treatment with him and the
cure.
1t gives me great pleasure to state that
l found DR.. T. Foo Yuen an expert ply
! sician, honest and true to his patients,
and gentleman in every respect.
l recommend him most highly to
whomsoever may need his services.

are like unto the sky and the power
keeps going from one to the other.
THE QUESTION OF SLEEP.
An interesting question is: What
makes person sleep?" will explain
this. The starting point in the circula-
tion of the human body is at and from
the kidneyS to the heart and from the
heart to the kidneys. There is current
to and from the kidneys to the heart
and one from the heart to the kidneys,
an interchange of air or power, between
these organs which is perpetual, in life.
If the current of air between these organs
is broken death ensues instantly. Also
there is another kind of air to the kid
neys and heart which manifests its
power over the system when the man
lies down to sleep. The mind becomes
quiet and then the brain power returns
to the heart. Then the second power of
the heart expands and rushes to the kid
neys and the second power, or current,
OF the kidneys expands and rushes to
the heart. Then the man sleeps and If
the current of air continues strong
there will be good rest.
When there is excessive brain labor
this affects the power, which Is not
strong, and then the current of air
makes weak connection and the sleep
IS very poor. The brain, the heart and
the kidneys make one family
Everyone who studies the functions of
the vital organs should understand that
they perform their functions by the nat
ural power of air. This power can con-
troll the body; the body cannot control
the air. You can see this from the blad-
der. which makes a little hole into the
lower part but none in the upper part for
the fluids to enter. And the small lntes-
tines perform their functions naturally
in the same way. The refuse goes
through the large intestine and the
water goes through the bladder by air
power. Anyone can get the bladder of q
COW or hog for examination. You may
turn the lower hole up and, although the
water may be full inside, not one little
bit will run down. 1t all keeps inside.
But the power of air can make the water
go intH the bladder although there is no
visible place for it to enter. Sometimes
the small intestine fails to perform its
natural function and does not carry off
the water and fluids. Then the water
goes through the large intestine and
causes sickness.

the collar is a narrow box-pleat, and this
descends and widens to the lower edge
of the yoke, which on other waists IN
th;s style is generally hidden beneath
the shirred top Of the full waist below.
on the new yoke, however, this lower
edge is left to fall in jabot fashion, in and
out, and is edged variously with ribbon,

The American Girl Was Too Much For
Two Insolent Englishmen.
An American girl travelling alone in o
compartment car from Ostend to Vienna
was annoyed by two Englishmen who DO.
gan by staring at her and ended by max
ing remarks about her in French.
She took no notice of them, but busted
herself in the corner seat near the window,
writing with pencil In notebook.
Assuming that she did not understand
French they commented upon her beauty,
stylish appearance and innocence and sx-
changed surmises respecting the extent of
her fathers fortune.
While they we're debating whether IL
would be worth while for them to firt
with her she at once rang the bell for
porter, and, speaking in excellent French,
gave directions for her luncheon, which
she expected to take on the train.
The two men looked at each other in
amazement. They had been talking about
her for half an hour ON the opposite seat
without suspeoting that she understood
their faulty French Then, continuing
their conversation in German, Of which
they knew less than they did of French,
they rallied each other upon their misad-
venture and decided that so handsome
girl must have a rich father, and that mar
riage with her would be good specula-
ton. This went on until an English trav-
eler from the next compartment came In
with train official and begged their as
sistanoe.
II do not speak German, ~ he remarked,
land this man is trying to tell me some
thing which probably ought to know"
The ticket collector speaking In Ger
man, explained that the Englishman had
got on the wrong train and would have to
get of at the next station and wait sew
eral hours for return train unless he pre-
ferred to buy ticket for another station
farther on, where he could make better
connection.
The interpreters did their best, but they
could not fully clear up the situation. The
ticket collector finally turned to the lady
and asked her II she understood German
She nodded her head and Immediately gave
the confused traveller the correct informa-
ton, enabling him to decide what he would
do.
The two handles were silent when the
ticket collector and the passenger retired
from the compartment Embarrassed by
the evidence that the American girl had
understood their German as we'll as their
French, they said nothing more, but set
tied themselves back In their seats and
closed their eyes. The lady went on with
her writing.
When the train reached Vienna, she tore
q number of leaves out of her notebook
and handed them to the two men, with the
sarcastic remark:
II have corrected some of your French
and German. Possibly my notes will help

A Parody.

A parody must necessarily be sportive,
or 1t would not belong to the great family
of the ludicrous, but the laughter or the
smile which 1t excites need not be at the
expense of the composition initiated. Pope
speaks of his imitation of one of the satires
of Horace MS parody, but the laugh which
. he raises does not fall upon Horace. So,
you will remember, in the "Dunciad" he
most effectively parodies certain noble lines
of Denham's "Coopers Hill'-lines ad-
dressed by that poet to the river Thames:
Oh, could fly like thee and make thy stream
My great example, as 1t is my themel
Though deep. yet clear though gentle. yet
not dull;
Strong, without rage; without o'eraowing,
full
Fine verses, indeed, are these-perhaps
the finest example of that strength with
which Pope, In well known line, rightly
credits Denham. And assurcdly Pope by
no means intended to ridicule them when
he addressed the unhappy Welsted:
Flow Welsted, flow, like thine inspirer, beer;
Though stale, not ripe; though thin, yet never
clear;
So sweetly mawkish and so smoothly dull;
Heady. not strong; o'erlowing, though not
full.
think perhaps the finest parody know
is Clough's New Decalogue:"

Would DO at the expense Of two2
No craven images may be
Worshiped except the currency.
Swear not ct all, for, for thy curse
Thine enemy Is mono the worse.

There are two points of view to be taken
of everything, even in pawnbroker's
dealings. A woman went into well kept
establishment the other day and asked for
loan of $50 on a marquise ring of dia-
monds and cmeralds "That amount was
given me at Blanks" she said, "the 9TH
er day" II will give you 49," said the
pawnbroker That would not do. From
little bag concealed in the folds of her
dress the woman brought out another ring
"a circlet of diamonds, with half n dozen
stones "Twenty-l five dollars" said the
pawnbroker, and she took it. ~ wonder
if they could have changed tho stones"
she said, referring to the marquise ring.
at would not be worth while for any
one to change such small stones, said the
pawnbroker to the interested visitor.
"Thcre Is possibility that some one
might have given her the sum she men
toned for that ring, but doubt it. She
was probably telling an untruth. You can
buy such ring as that for $40 or SIP at a
pawnshop. If q man should make II prac
tice of giving out as much money as she
says on such ring, he would be loaded
with them. Every other pawnbroker in
town would pass off their rings on him.
The ring took is worth perhaps $50, not
more. New York Times.

oats, wheat and rye, when ripe, are very

Change Of Air,

A very favorite last resort Of the eight
zenith century physician was to send q
patient to visit the place Of his birth, since
1t was thought that natal air" would be
likely to prove peculiarly beneficial. This
last theory, although somewhat ludicrous
when viewed from our modern standpoint,
strikes me as being something moro than
a mere piece of plausible empiricism. 1t
shows that in spite Of their terrible faith
in physic the doctors of those days did not
loso sight of the importance of conforming
to natures programme.
Although the beneficial effect of sea voy-
ages was to some extent recognized, 1t is
easy to understand that the ships of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,
damp and stuffy below and provisioned
with salt junk and hard biscuits, scarcely
gave broken down invalid fair chance
of deriving any great amount of good from
change Of air taken under such condi-
tons.
Generally speaking, we how consider
that sea and mountain air owes its virtue
to its freedom from organic impurities
Probably 1t is this quality more than any
other which gives it its reviving effect on
those who have been living in the clogged
and polluted atmosphere of large towns.
Yet purity of the atmosphere per Sc Is no
preventive of those very ailments which
bring the majority Of patients to seaside
watering places and highland sanitariums.

his favorite health resort he would proba.

pulmonary diseases among the permanent
residents Of these favored counties is not

To the influence of this ideal is largely
