possible the child can be kept in hiding In
the immediate vicinity of Chicago
Every day that has been fair and she
was sufficiently strong to do 50, Mrs.
Lapiner has sat out in front of the house
on the porch with her eyes strained up
and down the street, awaiting the return
of her idoliZed boy. Her physician does
not think she is capable of standing the
strain much longer for her life as well
as her reason is in danger. Her grief has
been of the fearless kind, and this Is
what gives the doctor so much concern
If she could weep 1t would do much to
relieve the great strain.
Time and again has Mr.. Lapiner chased
up clews that gave promise, only to be
disappointed in the end. Several times
he has found children that resembled his
missing one in many particulars, but in
the majority of cases there has been no
resemblance whatever. He was called
once to see a mulattO boy. He has also
taken several trips out of town, only to
find that he has spent his time and
money for nothing. Amateur detectives
in country towns are always writing or
wiring him, and have become a nuisance.
although Mr.. Lapiner never fails to have
their claims investigated. A letter was
received few days ago from a Mrs.
Sarah Nhalen, of Otsego, Mich, in which
the writer stated that not only was Ger
aid there, but Mrs. Luetgert as we'll. NO
attention was paid TO the letter.
Gypsy camps have been visited time
and again with no result. The last time
a camp was visited was week ago, when
an excited citizen rushed into the South
Englewood police station and said the
child was with some swarthy campers
about a mile away. There were children
| in the camp, but they were all accounted
! for. City and town marshals within a
radius of 100 miles have frequently writ
ten in. saying they were certain they had
the boy, but these finds have never
amounted TO anything. Mr.. Lapiner does
not dare let any of them go by for fear
he might miss the opportunity of finding
the lad and consequently he is on the
railroads half the time.
1 Many mysteries have been unearthed
but not solved by the police in their
| search. Persons have been found who
had children in their possession for whom
| they could not satisfactorily account. and
( these have added greatly to the perplexi-
, ties of the affair. Inquisitive neighbors
| have persistenly reported their suspicious
J and countless men and women have re-
! solved themselves into detectives In the

Perfume Tablets.

Perfumes for the summer girl are put
up in tablet form nowadays. They come
in two sizes 1t Is unquestionably a very
convenient way of investing ones self
with delicate flower scents. Dropping
one or more within toilet boxes and
wardrobe drawers. they are said to af-
ford a fragrance equal in strength to an
ordinary sachet bag, which is bulky
and likely to be in ones way.
These come in just one order-the hudu-
tine violet. and are quite the rage this
season They may be tucked away so
cleverly within loops of ribbon or bu2ch-
es of flowers.
Nearly every girl has one hidden IN
her coiffure and concealed within the
puff of her Ascot tie. The beauty of them
is that the delicate frangrance of sachet
perfumes. and. oh. JOY of joys, they sell

A MEAT DIET.
Arguments of an English Doctor in
Favor of Ii.

paris Letter 10 the Courier des Etats Unis.)
Should man be carnivorOus or herbivor-
Gus? Tlat is a long-debated question
which goes back al least to the days OF
PythagoUas. Jean Jacques Rosseau was
a stickler for the vegetable diet eXclus-
ively, and Helvetius was in favor of meat.
Now it appears that the quarrel has
broken out again in England, having
been started by long and carnivorous
report to the Royal Academy of Med
icine by DIR. Nigsford, and followed up by
the establishment of a new society of
meat eaters.
1t is well known that in England the
vegetarians are extremely numerous
They have made sort of religion out Of
their diet, and have built little church
OF their own. outside Of which of course
there is no salvation. The London So
ciety of vegetarians has 1000 members.
il was doubtless their excessive zeal that
brought about a reaction, and induced
the roast beef caters to form themselves
into a regular society.
According to DR.. Vigsford there is lit
tie or no truth in their doctrine, and his
new plea for meat is based upon curious
observations.
For several days he has experimental
on sparrows He gave them absolutely
nothing to eat at first. and then gave to
one-haif the number meat and TO the 9TH
ers grain. The former digested the meat
and recovered: the others could not as
simulate the grain and died. Renewing
the experiments of William Edwards,
Starck and Haller. he found in his own
case, by means of a dynamometer, that
his muscular strength increased in con-
stant proportion by following entirely a
meat diet
Finally he brings out evidence that he
considers extremely important During
the time when the railroad from Paris to
Rouen was being built French and Eng
Iish workmen were employed. The lat
ter worked very much more rapidly than
the French. They gained at least one
third upon the French workmen. The
engineers then determined to put the
Frenchmen upon the same diet as the
Englishmen. They substituted roast beef
for bouille ana soup, and at the end of a
few weeks the work done By the two
gangs was exactly equal.
DR. Nigsford concludes by saying that
the animal diet is not only preferable to
the vegetable but that, taken in a rea-
sOnable quantity. one can exclude all
other kinds Of food with an immense ad-
vantage TO health.
Although supported by observations
and experiments, this latter principle
will appear doubtless, somewhat eXag-
gerated to those who are not in the fight
and who perhaps will be wise in holding
fast TO the precepts of their fathers and
eating both vegetables and meat Man
Is omnivorous, as Button said.

the ordinary illnesses of childhood?
Any woman may insure the health of her
children who will take proper care of her
health in a wonanly way. The health of
her children depends almost entirely upon
her general health, and particularly upon
the health and strength of the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens os
maternity. A woman has no right to dis
regard her own health comfort, ease and
happiness, she certainly has less right ("

or an early death. That is what she does
if she neglects the health of her special
womanly organism. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
