Once a bride. unused to cooking. made an
Xmas pudding rare,
And in weight, at least. no pudding ever
did with It compare.
Then the bride unused to cooking bowed
her weary head and cried;
But her cheerful husband whispered "Nev-
er mind. my precious bride,
1t is just the thing | needed; we will yet
outwit the fatcs!'
And he cut II up In segments which he used
as paper weights.

Illuminated by \ Rays.


Chicago. April with a little machine
which looks like an egg-beater, Dr. Fenton
II. Turck has performed the feat of laun-
derinq the inside Of a mans tomac at the
post-graduate medical school. and by means
of the Roentgen ray he at the same time
viewed the internal apartment where MS
little device was at work.
The operation marks al era of progress
In the medical world. az the experiment
was the first OF its kind made In fuil view
Of the operator. one Of the largest ana
most complete Roentgen ray outfits ever
produced was furnished to the college Tor
the experiment. Attached to the end or
DR.. Turcli's instrument. which is called q
gyromele. or revolving sound was a flexi-
BILE cable of spiral steel wire. on the end OF
which was a small sponge. The cable was
enclosed In a rubber tube and this, with
the sponge. was swallowed by the patient
The latter, who was stripped to the waist
then stepped before the Roentgen light, the
doctor put the Horoscope to his eyes and
an attendant turned the handle OF the gyro-
mele. The cable revolyed as fast or as
slow as was desired. the sponge at the
farther end proceeded to Its work OF SCOUT
ing the inner walls OF the patients stom-
aoh. while the doctor through the fluoro-
scope Viewed the work of locating the me-
tallic cable by means of the X-rays. by
pushing or pulling on the cable the various
portions of the inner walls OF the stomach
were operated upon and the matter which
was gathered into the sponge was then re-
moved for microscopic examination.

further delay collections and cheek de-
mand from interior merchants. Another
drop Is recorded in prices Of Bcssemer pig
iron and steel billets. and in wheat, flour,

| by increased activity and higher prices for
wool and Wooleps, corn, oats, sugar ana
petroleum. A heavy movement OF iertil-

States. interest in lumber and shingles mas
incrcased on the Northwest Pacihc coast

ports are from Northwestern spring wheat
