do not answer advertisements and send
away for painless cures" but thorc Is
spruce gum habit, and there arc dozens
of these minor habits of which the drug
gist can tell you.
The manufacture and salo of small pack
ages of patent preparations and tho invcn-
ton of now compounds for tho soda foun-
tain arc largely responsible for the in
oronscd number of victims to these hnbits
The soda fountain of today must have an
elaborate side limo of phosphatcs, ncrvo
tonics, nuid extracts and headache cures
The customer finds that certain drink
has u soothing or an cnlivening OBJECT on
him, as the caso may he, and every time
during tho day that ho feels out of sorts he
goes TO tho drug store and gets q spccdy
cure for 8 conts. Before he realizes tho
fact no is going to the drug store regular
ly and Is ono of tho "ficnds" This docs
not mem that he is to die in tho asylum
1t simply illustrates the forco of habit.
There arc men who tako headache cures
two or thrco times dry whether they
hnvo headache or not, and some of them
soon learn to buy promo mixtures by the
bottle and tako two or three doses day.
Since many kinds OF medicine began TO
be put into tablet form 1t is much easier to
fall into tho habit of giving yourself con-
tinuous treatment. Tho soda mint habit is
the most common of all. You will find
men nowadays who buy their tablets in
quantities and crave them as the cigarette
smoker Graves smoke. Tho strong pep-
permint tablet Is also in great demand
Then there arc cloves and sharp, stinaing
"brouth swCotenors' all intended To calm
disorderod stomach.
The druggist told me OF one customer
who maintained that he would dio of dys.
pepsin were 1t not for tho constant use of
peppermint chewing gum, writes George
AIDE, in tho Chicago Record. Others will
nave nothing but tho spruce gum and the
old fashioned rubber" gum.
Mon and women who would NOT take nm
alcoholic stimulant under any circum
stances keep their small pockets stuffed
with roots and horbs. The calamus root
or the sweet flag" is tho favorito nibble
with tho herb victims, although tho lovnge
root Is more stimulating
There Is gentian habit and a ginseng
habit. 1t often happens that some astrin-
gent root or herb Is used rs a substitute
for tobacco, with the result TINT tho tobno-
CO habit is cured, but ia succeeded by q
craving for the cure
1t Is said that women in particular are
given to habits OF inhaling. Tho most
common Of these Is tho chloroform habit.
A woman finds TINT few drops Of ohloro-
form put on handkerchief and held I'M
der the nose have q sedative effect and
calm her nerves" So she never ventures
20 feet away from homo without nor little
flask Of chloroform.
Tho use of smelling salts can easily bo-
come fixed habit, SO that the poor woman
is positively miserable If she cannot shock
herself overy few minutes with powerful
Whit.
Tho druggist told of man who used n
menthol inhaler to euro cold. He liked

He Meant TO Return.

1t was evidently his first experience on
a railroad train, and he was as full of ex-
uberanoe ana excitement us n small boy on
circus day. He started to walk down the
aisle just as the express struck u pretty
sharp curve, and tho sudden swervc car
riod him of his feet and tumbled him into
n seat on top of clergyman who had been
trying to enjoy cat nap between stations
Tho rural traveller extricated himself us
soon as possible and, without any apology
to the minister, began swearing with n vol
utility which proved him an expert in
profanity. Tho Clergyman bore this for
awhile in silence and then, touching tho
farmers elbow, quietly said: "Stop, my
friendl Do you know where you are GO
ingp If you don't, let me tell you. You
md your Immortal soul are bound straight
for pcrdition.
WELL" said the farmer confidentially,
lido you know l rather mistrustcd this
blamed thing right from the start, so I
bought n round trip ticket. '--Chicago

PuzZlinR.

The late Sir John Briggs, in his "Ex-
pcrienco of Sixty -nvo Years of Naval Adj
ministratons, relates the conversation
of two old fashioned sen lords, Sir John
Beresford and Sir Charles Rowley, when
confronted with an examination paper in
gunncry, thon novelty: "Do you know
it is very strange, but don't understand
all this. Pray, sir, what is the meaning
of the word 'impactg' - asked Sir Charles,
addressing the chief clerk, who replied,
~ rather think it means the forco of n
blow" He then said to Sir John Bcres-
ford, "What, In the nnmc of good fortune,
is meant by initial vclocityY " Sir John
replied. "I'il be hanged if know, but l
suppose 1t IS some of Tom Hastings scien-
tific bosb." Tho two jolly old admiruls
then proposed to the first lord to abolish
tho gunnery ship Excellent, the source of
tal tho trouble.

WIN pepsin gum and pepsin tablets, and
tho nigh liver has bottle of pepsin always
reauy, SO that he may take u dose after
every hearty eating. He will take pepsln
threo times dny and feel perfectly conf
oent that his food will be. promptly digest
ed without any Inconvenience to him.
The druggist said, that the general use
OF pepsin had led many persons to believe
that they need not restrain their appetites
or deny themselves amy luxury.
But it is in tho bottled department that
tho "iicnds" are most active.
Why, know men who have boon tax
ing the same patont medicines right along
Tor 20 years." said tho druggist "There's
ono man who takes certain kind of Bit
ters 1t contains fair percentage Of Ill
cohol and is dootored up with vegetable
extracts so that 1t tastes all right, and he
hnds out that It's the only thing in the
world that helps him. 1t is tonic That
gives him an appetite IL he takes u small
glass of 1t just before every meul, and, of
course, when he doesn't use it no has no
appetite at all. Then there aro tho vari-
Gus medicines containing opiates. A man
Will catch cold and will try certain
cough cure 1t may ouro his cold. Then
he will stop tho remedy and discover that
no doesn't feel as we'll as no did while no
was under treatmont. So ho will take
somo of the medicine again, and it will
mako him feol better, and he will discover
that it is tho only thing TINT helps him
any, so no will keep on taking it..
For how long?''
"Oh, for years maybe. If you told that
man he was victim of an opiato, he
would feel hurt and indignant. He fools
that no is taking this medicine because it
is the only thing he can get that will help
him. Why, 1 know man who has been
taking n cholera cure winter and telm-
NOR for five years. It's the only thing no
can find that will touch his case, and it
isn't n case Of cholera, either. / know an
other man who drinks jamaica ginger,
and he thinks 1t would be wrong to take n
drink of whisky. This isn't wise thing
for me to say, from n business standpoint,
but people trille too much with drugs
nowadays. They buy and try all kinds of
now preparations, and often thoy form
strange habits and become 'flonds.' I'm
less they use morphine or cocaine they
don't pretend to conceal their habits, be-
cau1o they do not feel that thoy aro vic
tih--. But when they try to give up their

GARRETT BELL EDGAR AND Ills FOUR WIVES.
sas City. Following is list of Edgar's
hymeneai achievements, chronolopically
recorded:
Wife No. 1.-Mrs. AMMO McCombs Ed :.
gar; married in Bates county, No., in
1879; lived with her eight months: one
child, a son.
Wife No. a.-Mrs. Maggie King Edgar;
married in Kansas City, in April, 1889
divorced in 1893.
Wife No. 3.-Mrs. AIollie Burton Edgar;
married in Kansas City, Kan, in 1898 !;
divorced the following year.
Vito No. Airs. Carrie Holmes Edgar:
married in ST. Louis June 90, 1896; lived
with her eight months. Divorce granted
to wife in Kansas City, June IL, 1897, and
July set aside on q technicality; will
suo again in October.
The fact that no is re-engaged to wife
No. 3 hns given rise to the statement that.
just to show that he cherishes 10 i'll will
against any of his former matrimonial
partners, Edgar has declared his intention
of going baok over his list of wives and
marrying them all over again If they will
have him. AS he is still healthy and as
good looking us ever, it is possible that he
mny be able to carry out his career to its
logical conclusion. He has made "a good
start by regainng the affections of wife
No. 3. His second courtship of her began
last spring, rapidly progressed to the en-
gagemont stage and the wedding day was
set for July 8.
Edgar had supposed that vito No. had
secured her divorce from him so That there
could be no possible doubt about it, but
ho reckoned wrongly. Everything passed
auspiciously until July 5, only three DAYS
before his second marriage to wife No. :,
was to take place. Then ho was shocked
when no learned that the decree of divorce
of wife No. had boon set aside This
complicated matters and it was necessary
to postpone tho nuptinls until after the
fall term of court u + least
In the meantime vito No. had met
wife MOI. No. 8 had boon led to bulieve
that since she became divorced from Edgar
no had had nothing to do with any other
woman, and She was angry beyond meas
ire when she learned that he Ind married
another. But sho had promised to marry
him again and she intends to keep her
promise. The two women were angry Mt
each other at first, but their anger soon
grew to friendship. This friendship be.
tween the Inst two widows of Edgar broad
ened until 1t at last embraced the first two.
Then all the widows of Edgar got to.
getber one day and talked over their ad-
ventures. After that their reunions were
frequent and finally, each having con-
siderable knowledge of vocal music, they
organized themselves into u vocal quartet
club and called it the "Widows of Garrett
Singers" As such they are said to be do
ing much good. In Kansas City they re-
