were pleased beyond expression at the
strength he had added to their cause. He

A FREE DISPENSARY.
One to be Opened i'm Northwest Part
of the City.

In connection with the American Medical
College, which will occupy it's own building
at the corner of Indiana avenue and Cal
ifornia street there will be conducted a
free dispensary, to be known the Uni
versity Free Dispensary' While the school
does not open until Sept "a, the dispensary
will open Monday evening. with exercises
to be held in the California-street NJ. f..
Church. Judge r. w. Mcbride will preside
at the meeting and several ministers of
churches in the vicinity of the college will
make remarks.
1t is the idea of the management of the
college that the dispensary, while it will be
free to all who not able to pay doc
tors bills, shall be especially devoted to
the assistance of persons in the northwest
portion of the city. It's location in that
part of the city naturally would bring from
that section the greater number of its pa
tents. That its work may be more thor
ough, systematic ana devoted TO persons
who are worthy and needy, the manage
ment has called to its aSslS lance the pas
well-known people of the vicinity to act
an advisory board. The board made
up is composed of the following persons:
Rev. Homer c. Ashcrart pastor California
street NJ. q. Church; Rev. o. ID. Fisher,
pastor Peoples Congrega tional Church;
Rev. Charles L. Berry pastor Garden Bap-

The different departments of surgery anG

THE PARIS CAFES.
An Inside View of the Famous Cuisine
of the French Capital.
Philadelphia Press.

Press.
All visitors to Paris rave about the. deli
cacy of the food and daintiness Of the
service. They do not know some of the
ways followed by restaurants and chefs.
At the lower class of Paris restaurants
a very ingenious fraud has been in prac-
tice for half century. They make beef
tea or bouillon without beef-warm water
colored and favored with burned onions
and caramel as bouflon. To supply the
little grease bubbles which connoisseurs
demand was the only trouble: Finally a
cook hit on the ingenious device of blow
ing a spoonful of fish oil over the soup
The oil Immediately forms in tiny beads
Nowadays every cafe of this sort has its
employe aux yeUx de bouiilon, whose sole
duty is to make the little eyes or bubbles
of grease on the soup.
Parisians of a certain class are immense
ly fond of ham, so much so that the num-
Der of hams eaten in Paris could not be
furnished by all the pigs killed in France,
even allowing for the shoulder as well as
the leg being cured-this being the French
practice. The demand is supplied by buy
ing up old ham bones and ingeniously in
sorting them into pieces of picked pork
with grated bread crusts and then sold for
ham In this way a bone does duty for
hundreds of times. Still the supply of
to be put out if ones neighbor did not re-
turn the ham bone which the dealer relied
upon securing the day before to recover
manufacturing ham bones wholesale, and
made q fortune from the sale of these
fore, ham is plentiful in Paris.
Another genius observed that cocks
combs, which are much used in ragouts,
coquilles of cockscofnbs and vol-au-vents,
were very scarce, and therefore high
priced. He thereuDon set about manufac-
turing them. The same method is used in
London, New York and New Orleans. The
palates of bulocks cows, calves, sheep or
goats are taken, blanched, macerated, the
flesh detached, then put under a machine
which stamps them into cockscombs call
culated to deceive any one. The only way
of detecting the fraud is by noting that on
the real cockscomb the papillac exists on
both sides and only on one side on the
artificial ones.
The same man, in his intercourse with
Doulterers, learned that if the dealers did
not sell their turkeys Immediately on re-
ceipt they lost about one-fifth of the price
every day, for while the meat was still as
good experienced cooks refused to buy
birds whose legs did not look shiny and
black as do the newly killed fowl. The
longer dead the bird the grayer become his
legs This man at once invented a varnish
which makes turkey legs stay bright and
black indefinitely, and the cunningest cooks
have been deceived by the result while
the dealers profits rose accordingly. The
man is making his fortune through his in
yentiOn in this line.

PAPUAN MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.

Cigar Stub to the Young Woman.

London Daily News
At the Anthropological Congress at
Speyer, DIR. Hagen, who lived among the
Papuans of Astrolabe Bay from 1898 to
1928, gave an amusing account of the life
for long time. DR.. Hagen saw little boy
of about four years run TO his father to
light cigarette, and then back to his
mother to be sucked. At the same time
the child is fed with pounded pisang. The
children run about naked till about four
years old, when the boys get a belt of rind,
teen the boys are eircumcised and confined
within doors for four months, during which
time they may see no female. eat no cooked
food, and never wash, but they take d
bath once week. To pass the time they

Florida in Summer.

: T
During the recent hot spell when nearly
every State in the Union received a
scorching the like of which had not been
experienced for more than thirty years. the
temperature of Florida remained normal.
In the Northern States men and animals
died by the score from prostration by the
heat. but in Florida not case OF sun
stroke was recorded. To those who know
nothing of Florida during the summer this
condition of the climate must appear in
credible. for they reason that because the
point in mid-winter the temperature must
be extremely high in midsummer. In Key
West the temperature does not vary ten
degrees during the entire year. and the
extreme variation in any part of the State
is not more than sixty degrees. while in
many Northern States the variation is not
less than 100 degrees. In a recent article
upon the climate of the South the Augusta
