ANCIENT
 TORTURE
How 1t has Been Revived m Modern Times.

An ancient method of poisoning criminals was to force them to swai- low quantities of bulls blood. Bulls blood is really no poison at all. Yet the prisoner usually died in agony, caused by the coagulation or harden ing of the bulls blood in the stom- ach. The pressure of this solid mass on the vital organs almost always re- suited fatally.
 That's like indigestion. If your food doesn't digest it remains in a hard lump in the stomach. Gases form which crowd other organs, Many cases of supposed heart disease are due to indigestion.
 This trouble is removed by the use of such preparation as Kodol Dys- pepsia Cure, wdich gives the stomach perfect rest by digesting what you eat without the stomach's aid. The food builds up the body. The rest restores the stomach to health. You don't have to diet.
 During the last fewyears my stom- ach was in such condition that | couldn't retain the food I ate, writes Henry Williams of Boonyille, Mo. 1.-Two months ago Icommenced taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. A few bottles have cured me entirely I can now eat and enjoy anything I Want.'

THE PRESIDENTS REST.
Roosevelt Not Finding Much ReIaxa-
 ton Ut His Summer Home.

ton at Ills Summer Home OYSTER BAY, N. T., July 15-Pres- ident Roosevelt and Secretary of War Root spent the greater part of yester- day in considering matters of impor- tance which reached them from Wash ington by the mails and telegraph. Architect McKim of New York, who prepared the plans for and is supervis- ing the work of the reconstruction of the interior of the White House at Washington, arrived after noon and was driven directly to Sagamore Hill. There he had a consultation with the president and Mrs. Roosevelt concern ing the repairs being made to the man. sion. The discussion dealt principally with the decorations and the minor de- tails of the remodeling.
 At 4 o'clock the president, Mrs. Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Miss Alice Roosevelt, Dr. Lambert, the presi- dents physician; MT. McKim and the Roosevelt children went aboard the official yacht Mayfower, which lies about eight miles from Sagamore Hill.
 The visit of Senator Spooner to Saga more Hill excites much interest here. MT. Spooner came up the sound on yacht He sent note to the president and afterward came ashore and was soon in conference with President Roosevelt and Secretary Root
 The conference lasted until almost midnight. Secretary Cortelyou said afterward that he could say nothing of the details of the matters discussed It is known however, that aside from the social character of the call, the president and Senator Spooner being close personal friends, the conference, if, it may be so called, dealt with the question of the title to the Panama Ca nal cofnpany's property.
 Wood May Head Canal Commission.
 OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 15.-The president has invited General Leonard Wood to visit him at Sagamore Hill early in August. General Wood is one of MT. Roosevelt's closest friends, and the president entertains high regard for his executive ability. On account of that fact General Wood is men, toned as a probable member of the isthmian canal commission, to have general charge of the canal construc- tion. It is understood to be not unlike ly that he may be appointed as the head of the commission.

GOLF STICKS HISTORY.
Various Operations from Time Wood
Reaches Factory.

1t would be interesting to know just
how many thousand golf sticks are
turned out in this country every year,
for the number probably reaches close
TO, If not more than, 100000. From the
time the club is sawed out of the sec
ond growth hickory until it is placed
in the kit ready Tor service, it passes
through an interesting variety of pro-
cesses. Very little machine work is
done on the first-class article. After
the haft is sawed out it must be round
cd and tapered to the proper form by
hand, requiring years of experience az
well as a clear eye.
A portion of the rounding is done by
what is known as the shaft lathe, but
filing and sandpapering are indispensa-
Bile before it has reached the proper
proportions. AS Il rule most of the
shafts made in the United States come
from the tough second growth hickory
but even after the planks have been
selected sometimes so per cent of the
material is thrown aside to be made
up into inferior sticks, such care is
used in manufacturing.
The heads of the best iron clubs
are really composed of soft steel and
shaped principally by the blacksmiths
hammer On the anvil. The cheaper
heads are drop forged from iron. be-
ing shaped by dies, but even these are
finished on polishing lathes. 1t is
really wonderful to note the perfect pro-
portions which the steel heads assume
under the steady strokes OF the NAM
mer. but they, too. are given hnish by
the lathe until they glitter like silver
before they are ready for the green.
Most of the companies manufacture
ing clubs have hundreds of sets of pat
terms. not only of shafts, but OF heads.
for whenever kit is made for some
expert which differs in any way from
the ordinary stick. the pattern comes
in handy to duplicate any of the clubs
which may be broken. Some OF the
millionaire players of the country are
as particular about the length and
shape Of stick as the most enthusiast
tic professionals, and think nothing OF
paying as high as $50 for a single club
made to order from a special pattern
When the heads and shafts are
shaped the next process is to join them
| together. 1t is much easier to fit the
shaft Of a driver into a wooden head
! than to join the parts of an iron club
as a much tighter joint can be made
| In all cases, however, glue is generous
! ly used and then the surface is whipped
or bound with strong cord which i;

DOCTORS IN MADAGASCAR.
The French are Establishing Free Dis
pcnsary Service Throughout the lslane

The French have just begun to carry
out a great work Of humanity in NADIA
gascar. Medical missionaries were unit
recently the only doctors in the island
The governor general several years age
established Il school of medicine and 3
hospital at the capital. The medica
school has already turned out 10 native
physicians who have proved thcmseive
competent to practise medicine. Win hi
white medical staff and the Intelligent
natives who are being trained to practice
medicine the governor general row g
poets widely to extend the service.
He has therefore decreed that nj
branches of the medical service in the
island shall be consolidated in one or
gaEiZation and that hospitals similar u
that in Autananarivo. where 10 sick per
sons may be accommodated at one time
and where free medical service is dis
nensed to applicants numbering lW to ~

towns Many natives trained for medica
service win travel from one village t.
another distributing medicines and treat

given to tho care of children. as the NOR
tality among infants is actually 40 PEI
cent of the total deaths.
Pamphlets are now being printed in tn
Malagasy language giving rules OF ny
giene. 1t is hoped that the measure
which are being taken to improve IN
health of the people may result in tn
rapid increase of the population, which
now numbers only 2.500,0a0. The governo
general says that in half century tn
population of Madagascar should b.
doubled.

grade of sticks. the sheepskin being
placed on the inferior quality.
Varnish and shellac are the ingredi
ents which give the club its glossy coat
and preserve it from the effects of the

LONG ISLANDS GOOD ROADS.

(New York SUM


Three groups of farming districts IA
diate from New York, which furn1She'
their chief market. They are the norti
Jersey counties, the produce of which
reaches New York city by ferry; tb'
southern Hudson River counties, of which
Wcstchester is the chief. and the produce
Of which reaches New York by train o.

produce of which comes into New YORK
in long haulS by train and short haulS by
wagon load
Nearly four-ffths of the market pro
ducc which reaches New York city iron
farms direct comes into it from Long is
land. and this practical monopoly or al
important business is III very considerable
measure. due to the excellence of tn
Long Island roads, particularly in tho

More than So, 100000 worth Of vegetable

roads each year, irrespective of not les
than $4,000 coo worth of produce shipped
by rail OF steamer. The value of flower:

For one thing, it was composed under cir

right sort of ring.
Harrison Willard composed it when the

enlisted in one of the Massachusetts
Volunteer regiments. He had just return

Europe. where he had studied music and
had appeared as a concert singer. He
fought bravely at the front and rose to
the rank of colonel: and in odd moments

named The Flag of the Free. and gave
it to the reGimental band to play. 1t he

The bandsmcn put their whole souls into

sounded exceptionally fine. Mr.. Lincoln's
son. who was standing on the White
House steps with his father, asked the
President:
Dad what is the tune that regimental
band from Massachusetts is playing?'
Mr. Lincolns fancy had been caught

about it. and. on learning that it was his

Willard died in this city about three
years ago, poor and practically unknown

THINGS WE
LIKE BEST
Why is it They SO Seldom
Agree With Us?

What's the reason the things we like
best so seldom seem to agree with us?
Maybe it's because we Overeat of them.
Then follows fit of indigestion.
Only lasts day or two perhaps. But
it's a most uncomfortable day or two.
We don't mean to abuse our StOmachS
but we all do it more or less. We see
things we want and can't resist
the longing for them. When it's too
late we regret our raShnesS. But
there's way to escape the conse-
quences of such indiscretions. A dose
of a good digestant like KOdOl DyS-
pepsia Cure will relieve you at once.
Indigestion is always due to the
same cause. Your stomach is too weak
to digest what you eat. 1t needs rest.
You can't rest it by going without
food. That would mean starvation.
But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will rest it.
1t does the stOmach'S work. In the.
mean time the tired organ is gaining
fresh strength. Before long it will be
as strong as ever. You don't have to
diet. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will di-
geSt any kind Of wholesome food.
