Anew York CAFE That Repeses In
piieit Confidence IN Its Customers.

II Is rather surprising to find
right on Park Row cafe that
trusts its customers perfectly
This place has probably geo reg
ular callers. 1t is open day and
night, and is run on the implicit
faith in the honesty of man
While not place strictly high
class. it offers what might be
called a very comfortable meal,
with trimmings before or after.
Altogether. it is simply plain
place for an everyday man, with
occasionally a little something
extra on the bill Of fare equaling
anything n the city.
THIS. OF course. can be said of
hundreds of slmilar places. but
the system of payment is some
thing novel. The proprietor. a
stout German. boasts no cashier.
as there is very little cash to take
in. On the cigar counter is a
day book. The customer comes
in, goes to the ice chest in the
corner if be wishes and takes a
quiet nip out of black bottle.
Then he orders what he wants on
the bill Of fare. 1t is served
quickly and neatly. He then
counts up his own Indebtedness
and puts it opposite his name in
the book. including the nip" or
a cigar. If he prefers that. He
then walks serenely out, knowing
no proprietor is glazing at him
and no cashier yelling at him to
come back and make the cash
register good.
This sort of childlike simple
ity in running a business in the
very heart of city filed with
bankers. green goods men and
gold brick swindlers without num-
Der, is said to be a winning yen-
ture. Customers invariably set
tie weekly, Friday and Saturday
being pay days, and the proprl-
etor says he has as yet to lose
bill through deliberate fraud. A
little experience with a man like
that is almost enough to renew
ones confidence in human ma

Repairing The Stomach.

Physicians have now devised a
machine that will wash out a
mans stomach and clease it as
successfully as by the aid Of soap
and water he can wash his face.
With the aid of the X rays to
watch and guide the machine the
job can be thoroughly done.
That the machine is an important
one will be readily admitted by
any one who has had stomach
in need of that operation, and has
been obliged to wait and suffer
until the trouble was rectified by
the slow process of nature. aided
slightly by medicine.
This is only another OF the
many steps in advance by which
the human machinery has of late
years been so much more readily
repaired than formerly. As the
physician gets more and more
used to the X-rays he goes bold
" into any part of the body and

to-day:
