who mind their mammas, but, at q re-
cent meeting of the board OF directors
of the American Express Company,
that body decided to give to each of
he Company's 10000 employees five
dollar gold piece, partly to commemor-
ate the Company's tiftl-th anniversary
and partly as reward for faithful
services rendered the company. Every
employe enrolled on the Company's
looks. be he chief clerk or insignificant
office boy whose sole duty is to sweep
the floor and clean cuspidors, will this
week receive from the head office in
New York a neat little folder contain
ing numerous facts concerning the or.
ganization of the Company and the
apid strides it has made since that
ime, with the enclosure of shining
new five dollar gold piece. On the
title pages of the folder appears the
following:
Office of the President, New York

vices of its employees during the year

five of their friends concluded to re-
mind them of the fact, so all unlimited

Anderson who had all day been busted
In preparation for the holiday fes.
Invites, concluded to retire early and
was drawing on her-we had nearly
said nightcap, but Gail Hamilton whn
is authority says we must say chapon
de mutt, when she became conscious
that some kind of invasion had taken
place in her home. In few moments
she was among her guests and gave
them as cordial welcome as though
she had been expecting them for a
week
THE TIMES had tried to give Mr.. and
Mrs. Anderson hint of what was
coming in an item in the evening issue
but both had missed that particular
local when reading the paper. When
Mr.. Anderson in response to tele
phone gall, came home hurriedly, he
found the house giving no sign of life
and al lights extinguised, but as soon
as he entered his door the lights
flashed and revealed his friends ready
to greet him. Refreshments were
served later. after which q very pretty
chair was presented to Mr.. and Mrs
Anderson, Mr. A. III. Sniff making q
very happy presentation speech saying
in part
"Friends and Neighbors: We are
glad to be here in your happy home
this evening to congratulate you on
the tenth anniversary of the day when
we saw you united in marriage in the

MODERN MlSERS.
Men Who starve Themselves
to Accumulate Money.

There is a certain fearful fascination
about the stories of the misers of the
past. The money they accumulated was
Of no more practical value to them than
the trinkets stolen and secreted by some
maybe or jackdaw. They hid it from
the sight and use of men and in silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gather it they lived on
crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and FIRE to warm them, lived
starved lives and in not few cases died
Of starvation. That was the old-time
miser. The modern miser resembles
this man Of the past in the particular
that he frequently dies of starvation.
In his eagerness to gather money he

pays small heed to the claims OF health.
| He eats anything. anyhow, anywhen,
and anywhere. He doesn't eat crusts
by any means nor spare his purse to fill
his stomach. The mistake he makes is
In thinking that when man has filled
his stomach, that is the end Of the busi-
ness Of feeding. Instead of being the
end of feeding it's only the beginning.
There is no value in food unless it is
digested, converted into nutrition and
assimilated. These processes depend
upon the healthfulness Of the stomach
and the other organs of digestion and
nutrition. When these organs are dis
eased they cannot extract the nutrition

as the case may be.
But the real reading of the certificate
should be:
STARVED 10 DEATH.
The truth Of this statement is appar-
ent. The body is sustained by food

when the stomach is vweak, !" digestion

from food inadequate to the needs of the
body, the result is shared by every part

no man is stronger than his stomach,
and nc organ sustained by the stomach

of these forms of weakness " is de6ci-

if these diseases of heart, liver, lungs,

must be cured through the stomach.
