Bacteria TO Give Ijohx.

New York Sun: Professor Hans Mo-
iisch of Prague believes that he has
discovered a use for bacteria. He has
communicated to the Vienna Academy
or Sciences the Specifications OF a min
ing lamp In which bacteria supply the
light.
The lamp consists of a glass Jar, in
which there is a lining of saltpetre and
Bolatine, previously inoculated with
bacteria. The latter develop innumer-
ably In w days, causing the jar to be-
come Illuminated with a blush green
light. This lasts brilliantly for several
days, gradually trimming until II dis
appears in about a fortnight or three
weeks.
Professor Molisoh says that the light
is suitable for mines and powder maya
zines because 1t Is cold and not danger
'ous. Faces can be recognized by this
light for a distance of two yards, and
Large type can be read by it.

A NEW ROUTE,
The Road to MELVILLE.

% 1t is by change Of diet that one can
get fairly on the road to health after
years of sickness, for most i'll health
comes from improper feeding.
What a boon it is to shake off coffee
sickness and nervous headaches as some
can if determined upon.
One woman accomplished it in this
way: "a few years ago l suffered ter
ribly from sick and nervous headaches,
being frequently confined to my bed two
or three days at a time, the attacks com
ing on from one to four times in every
month. / tried medicines of all kinds,
but could get no real relief until my
parents finally persuaded me to quit the
use of coffee altogether and try Postum
Food Coffee. 1t had come to a point
where | was so utterly miserable that l
was willing to make any reasonable trial.
"A person couldn't believe what fol-
lowed, but the results speak for them
selves; that was two and a half years
ago, and | have never tasted coffee since.
/ use Postum not only for it's delicious
flavor, but more for the good it has done
me. All of my troubles disappeared as
If my magic and l have for the past two
years been doing all the work for my
family of six. l seldom have ever a
slight headache and l would not give up
my Postum and go back to coffee now
lnless l deliberately intended to commit
suicide.
"All my neighbors, it seems to me,
now use Postum in place of coffee, and
some Of them have beer doing so for
several years with splendid results from
the health point of view." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.

of the Peace at that place, has written
a letter recommending Dodd's Kidney
Pills in whkch he says:
Il think Dodd's Kidney Pills can't

The local ]. p, Mr.. E. b. Cox, agrees

satisfactorily and, quickly, and they all
speak highly Of Dodd's Kidney Pills"

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by c~onstitl-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an In
famed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing. and when IL Is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored 10 It's normal
hearing will be destroyed forever;
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an nfiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
