A Sign of Age,

Old people never pretend to stay in bed
all night. They get up fully half dozen
times and go wandering around with
lights in their hands, looking for the
origin Of noises, to see what time 1t is and
on a half dozen other pretexts. If you
feel like wandering around the house at
night with your nightclothes Tapping
around your knees, 1t is an indication that
you are not as young as you used to be-

light has been travelling ten thousand

But let us figure a little on the cash
cost of the poisonous beverages and
other poisons that artificial human
appetite consumes yearly. That cost
is not easy to compute, because the
consumer is the man who applies the
poisonous drug to his own person, and
this is generally a retail process in
which the cost is represented by the
purchase of the single drink orcigar.

Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more JOY in its wake than
the offer of T. A. Slocum, NJ. c., of 1888 Pearl
street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary rnplaintS, and to make its great
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles, to any reader of The Morris Trib-
une who is suffering from chest, bronchial,
throat or lung troubles or consumption.
Already this new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
Ito donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely. apart from it's inherent
strength, is enough to commend it, and
more so is the perfect confidence of the
great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved consumption to be cura-
bic disease beyond a doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending

That, gives a total of four thousand

total for Europe, Asia and the United
States of fifteen thousand four hun
dred millions cost of this form of de-
struction of property in year.
Now, this is enough, and must
satisfy the devil that he has us.
Surely he will not ask more of one
poor accursed world. He is too tender
hearted for that I have never heard
or read anything about him which
leads me to think that he had enough
to require more than this of any of
his subjects, either in or out of the
home country.
So let us throw in the consumption
of Africa, Oceanic, Canada, Mexico,
Central and all of South America,
with divers isles Of the sea, also the
odd four hundred Millions above
named, leaving just fifteen thousand
millions of dollars. This is away below
the real figures, but it is enough.
Satan will be satisfied; SO, too, appar-
emily, are we. This is an average of
ten dollars apiece for each one of the
fifteen hundred millions of people in
