Remedies, and are ready to go on record
as witnesses for the truth.
Mrs. A Walker, 1881 Market street,
San Francisco, Cal, says: " have been
a great sufferer from Rheuma tism ana
stomach troubles. Ny rheumatic pains
We're very severe and I was often quite
crippled with the stiffness and soreness
IN the muscles and joints. l doctored
with several physicians, but never was
benefited until at last l was recon-
mended to use Munyon's Remedies. A
few bottles of the rheumatism Cure
removed every trace of my Rheumatism
and I am completely cured. This success
encouraged me to try Munyon's Dys-
pepsia Cure for my stomach trouble,
which affected me so badly that l could
not eat even the lightest kind of diet
without suffering great distress. The ef-
feet of the Dyspepsia Cure was equally
good. It cured me entirely, and l can
not thank Munyon's Remedies enough
for having made such d well woman Of
me"

Munyon invites you to write to him, at

that he made the trip of 1912 miles in
eighty eight days, after going through
seven rain storms, five snow storms, one
blizzard and three sand storms. He rode
across the alkali plains when they were
covered with mud and crossed snow
covered mountains. In all the trip he
had no serious break down. He used
only one pair of tires and one wheel.
His mount was fitted with an American
made gear case. He fabricated his
chain only twice, and repaired only three
punctures. His total equipment weigh
ed nearly forty pounds. He sull hopes
to make the trip from coast to coast in
eighty days, but will remain in Califor-

A Waiter Who Can Tell Mans
Occupation by the Way He Eats.

There is a waiter in q Dearborn
street restaurant who has discovered
the science of reading a mans occu-
patton by his manner of eating. He
can icok into the calm eye of a Gus
toner engaged in disarticulating a
"ham-and" and determine with wonder
ful accuracy whether the man is a
scissors grinder or a State-street mer-
chant
OF course, one must be a close OBJ
server to do all this, and it isn't ev
erybody that is afforded a lunch coun-
ter for a field of study. Yet If the
student will avail himself of opportu
mites While seated at the mahogany
board, he will find that when the busi-
ness man is at the table some habit ac-
quirad in the daily pursuance of his
profession will be sure to show itself.
For instance, the banker may come
in and orded wheat cakes. If he does,
the waiter declares, he will in
variably dip his fingers in the water
and run over the cakes to see if there
is a niiscount.
The gambler will look around to see
if any one is watching, and then palm
slice of bread. If he orders flap
one from the bottom as he eats them
The clothing salesman will hold his
flapjacks up to the light and feel the
texture: While the keen observer will
notice that the jeweler, upon ordering
pie, will hold it to his ear, shake it,
and then listen after which he will
lift off the top crust with the point of
his knife and examine the insides.
During an interview the other day
the waiter stated that he called his
new. science "eatistry"
Il nave not mastered my science yet"
said he, ''and seldom day passes but
what learn some new point. Oh, it's
a great study, and l think in time it will
take its place along with palmistry and
phreaology and other kindred sciences"
Have you ever made a mistake in
judging mans occupation?"
Only once And that could hardly
be called a mistake, for I made no de-
cision as to the mans business. 1 con-
fess l was stumped. The fellow came
in and ordered his dinner OF course.
gave him a glass of water He look
ed at it with some surprise, and said,

you don't need to drink it unless you
want to-
He thanked me, and, what do you
think! He broke his bread into it. and
then ate it with a spoon. ! didn't
Know what to make of it, and for the
lie OF me l couldn't determine what
his business was. When he was leav-
ing l tapped him on the shoulder and
asked him outright what he did for a
living.
