There Is family over ON the west
side in which there are two twins
They are years old and resemble
each other 90 marvelously that only
the mother can tell which u Gladys and
which II Grace.
On Saturday night Just before bed
time the mother issued the order for
baths. The older children took theirs,
and along about o'clock It was the
turn Of the twins. They were undress'
ed and waiting.
The mother took Gladys into the
bath room and gave her q thorough
scrubbing. Then she allowed the mite
to play in the water for few moments.
and after that put her on the rug.
dried her. powdered her and put her
nighde on.
Just at this time the grocery boy
came and the mother had to run down
stairs and take charge Of the provi-
siOns. After she had put everything
away she came back, grabbed up a
twin and took her to the bath room.
The little girl did not say much. After
she was bathed she scampered back to
her bed room.
There was q whispered consultation
between the twins, and then they both
began to laugh as loudly as they
could.
What are you youngsters laughing
att" asked the mother. as she came
into the room.
Nothing" they both protested be-
tween giggles.
"But you are" insisted the mother.
''Tell me this instant"
"Well." said Gladys, rolling about on
the floor in merriment, "you gave me
two baths and didn't give sister any"

A Medicine Craze.

A man In Vienna has developed a ma
mia for medicine, Of which he swallows
large doses daily. although suffering
from no illness. This Is a form Of lu
macy not altogether unknown.
To Heckington, in England, belongs
the honor Of being the birthplace Of the
largest consumer Of medicine the world
has ever known. This was Mr.. Samuel
Jessup, a rich grazier. who died in 1917.
He was in many ways eccentxic. but In
none 90 much as in pill-taking, or what
a chronicler Of the period describes as
"a most inordinate craving for ply
sick"
The following figures may be regard
ed as incredible, but there seems to be
no reason to doubt their accuracy. In
the twenty-one years, from 1795 to
1916, Mr.. Jessup consumed 226, 6,034 pills,
which Is at the rate of 0.s06 a year. OF
20 a day.
Many more Of these were taken In the
later than in the earlier years. From
1911 to 1916, period Of Eve years, the
rate Of consumption averaged seventy.
eight a day, while In one single year
1914, Mr. Jessup swallowed a. many a
81 500 pills.
These astounding figures came out IN
the course Of an action tried At the Lin
coin Assizes, in 1917, when an apothe
cary Of Bottesford, who had supplied
the whole Of the medicine, sued Mr.
Jessup for the amount Of his bill. II
spite of taking all these pills, with th<
addition of 10000 bottles Of mixtures
and juleps and electuaries, Mr.. Jeasup
who was unmarried, lived 30 the age d
G5. The apothecary's blu, for thu
amount Of which he was sued, covered
no less than hfty-dvs long and closely
written columns.

Her doctor says, cheer up, You have

But she doesn't get "all right" She
grows worse day by day, till all at once
she realizes that distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made mistake.
She has lost faith in him; hope van

Her doctor, if he knew, should have
told her and cured her, but he did not,
and she was allowed to suffer. By
chance she came across one of Mrs.
Pinkham's books, and in it she found
her very symptoms described and an
explanation of what they meant. Then
she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice, feeling that she was
telling her troubles to woman.
Speedy relief followed, and vigorous
health returned

gratitude are to be found on file in
Mrs Pinkham's library.

for making a real rainstorm in q bot

The bottle is half filed with alcohol OF

bottle and the saucer are of an almost
equal temperature. Then the appa-
ratus Is removed from the water. wiped
quickly with a soft cloth. and the ex-

the bottle.
