Honesty and Virtue.

There is more honesty and virtue
contained in a bottle of Salvation Oil,
than in any other liniment known.

A STORY OF LANGTRY.

A Romance Which Never Should Have

Speaking of the recent sad death in a
London madhouse Of Edward Langtrv.
the husband of the celebrated actress,
the Pittsbur2 Times observes that it ends
a romance which should never have
reached further than its BEGINNING

apparently modest tastes and charming

high society, and favOrite of the Prince

convenient to be ignored, and a separa-

stage, toured America and the rest of
the world, while the husband, lost be-
meath the fierce light of publicity that
enveloped his wife, took to gin. Edward

from her notoriety as from anything.
She was pioneer in the school of acting
which includes John L Sullivan. Steve
Brodie and Fitzsimmous. But she made
money, because curiosity brought patrons
to the playhOuses. On the day her hus-
band was sent to the asylum she won a
fortune on the races, and when he died

HOW He BUILDS STORIES.
Opie Read Depends on His Memory In
stead of Notebook.


There is one successful author in Amer
lea who never keeps a notebook of any
kind-or at least of any material kind.
On the cars, in the street, at home in all
his odd minutes Opie Read is building
stories Whenever an idea suggests itself,
he Immediately begins to elaborate it into
story, and when it is all complete and
read by his mind eye he tucks it away in
his memory and begins on another Some
times he has half a dozen stories finished
and laid away in his mind, and not a
word OF one of them put into writing.
Several years ago out in Chicago Mr..
Read received by telegraph an order for a
short story. He sat down at a table where
several reporters were grinding out copy,
called for "a bottle OF beer, helped himself to
some paper and began to write He wrote
as uninterruptcdly as the reporters who
were working up routine reports. In less
than two hours story Of l. 500 words was
finished and mailed to the publishers, and
1t was one of the stories on which Opie
Reads fame rests.-Washipgto Post.

THE FLOUR ADULTERATED I?
ATLANTA DEALER SAYS THREE
FOURTHS OF IT IS.
A Bill to Make 1t Crime for Any One to
Sell the Impure Article Unless 1t
Is So Labeled.

Mr.. J. E. Maddox, Of the firm of J. j
and j. T. Maddox, of Atlanta. is pefect-
ing bill that he will have introduced
at the present session of the legislature
that is calculated to create quite a stir
among wholesale and retail merchants
who handle -four.
The substance of the bill is to define
mixed -four and to require The sale and
Importation Of same and to require per-
sons, firms AMI corporations to mark
packages of mixed flour so as to indicate
their true contents, weight and place Of
manufacture.
Mr.. Maddox in an interview, said:
''Adulterated -four is being handled so
extensively that merchants who deal
only in the simOn-pure article cannot
cOmUete with those who handle the
adulterated stuff Corn meal compOses
from 10 to 20 per cent of nearly every
brand OF flour on the market.
This is a great Injustice to the con-
summer. 1t takes the finest kind of ex-
pert to detect the analgamation, and
hundreds OF buyers are gulled every
day.
"A barrel OF pure flour will make
anywhere from 200 to 25O more biscuit
than the mixed brand. The latter is
also heavier.
my purpose in having the bill enact
ed into a law is to compel merchants
who handle the mixed -four to have it
so labeled that the purchaser can know
what he is buying. Right here in At
lanta there are machines that mix the
wheat and corn and bleach it so white
that it is almostimpossiblet to distinguish
it from the real article itself. Corn
is also often mixed in.
