President. She was accompanied by
Nine. AZpiroz, wife of the Mexican
ambassador and several ladies of the
embassy. AS Mrs. Roosevelt speaks no

VIII Lettuce Prevent Smallpox
From Medical Talk.

Lettuce is an absolute preventive Of
smallpox. No one is in the least parti-
Gle of danger of catching smallpox who
eats a little lettuce every day. Small
pox belongs 10 the scorbutic class OF
diseases. Sailors at sea deprived Of
fresh vegetables get scurvy. Scurvy
is a typical scorbutlc disease. SMALL
pox is another Smallpox always RACES
during the winter season. when the
poor people are deprived OF fresh vege-
table foods. Celery and onions are
good for this purpose. but there is
such long interval between their be-
ing gathered and being eaten that they
lose most Of their anti-seorbutic prop
critics Lettuce iE served shortly after
IL Is picked, and hence contains the val
liable properties which will prevent
smallpox. We say without the least
hesitation o. reserve that lettuce VIII

PURGATORY OF TEMPTATION
FitzGibbOn Told of Strain which

Drove Him Insane.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Washington, March 23.-Capt. James
Fitzgibbon, for many years a popu-
lar and trusted employee at the United
States treasury, was brought here to-
day from North Adams, Mass, where
he was apprehended after his recent
escape from ST. Elizabeth's Ayslum for
the Insane. He was with great diff
Guilty taken off the cars and conveyed
to st. EliZabeth's.
Capt FitZgibbon lost his reason from
the strain of handling large sums OF
money in the treasury. He was the
representative of the United States
Express Company there, and charged
with the responsibility of handling mill
lions of money from one years end to
another.
A short time before Fitzgibbon was
compelled to leave his position friend
asked him if it was not an awful re-
sponsibility to be forever handling
money, and he replied:
Great God, old man, no man on
earth can ever imagine the strain until
he goes through with it. 1t is simply
a purgatory on earth. 1 wish 1 was in
some other business. Not for my life
would 1 steal a penny, but the tempta-

may, the temptation to be dishonest
will come to you. 1t is no ordinary
task to resist the temptation to steal.
1t is a fight day in and day out with
many an honest man. l knew one CT
the best men in the service to send in
his resignation simply from the fear
that some day the temptation to do
wrong would be too great for him. The
best men in the world will go wrong
sometimes unless they are exceedingly
guarded. Such positions are too tempt
ing for the ordinary man. OF course,
they pay well, but think of the great
strain on one who is tempted to be
dishonest. With most men, / am firm
ly convinced, it is battle all the year
round between being honest and a
thief. 1 do not believe that any man
ever handled amounts of cash without

Washington Telegram to the Phiia-

The clerks of the Patent ONCE began
several years ago to keep systema-

Thomas e. Edison. They have the
wizards various inventions tabulat-
ed and indexed so that they can put
their hands on each different idea he
has protected by patent from the be-
ginning of his marvellous career of in
vention. When pending claim is al
lowed, as it no doubt will be this
month, Mr.. Edison will have received
791 patents in all. He is not adding
to the list as many ideas nowadays as
he did some years ago. Up to 1895 he
had taken out I'll patents in all. Since
then he has added to the list from
three to twenty-three patents each

NO JOKE
But 90 Pounds of Solid Flesh.

If Mark Twain should write a, story
about a person who weighed 30 pounds
and increased her weight to $50 pounds
Cor doubled in one year by quitting coffee
and drinking Postum Coffee, every one
who read it would say, There's a joke
behind that somewhere.
There is a well-known lady in Coraopo-
lis, Pa, who actually made this gain in
weight as the direct result Of leaving off
coffee and taking up Postum Food Coffee.
1t was a, very earnest matter and far from
a Joke for her. Her gain In general
health kept pace with the increase in
weight
She says: For many years I suffered
with stomach arrangement and violent
and oft recurring headaches. 1t was not
an unusual thing for our family of four
to use 21s to pounds Of coffee week.
I was suspicious that my troubles were
due to coffee, but as did not like tea or
cocoa or chocolate there seemed no pala-
table hot drink for me to take at my
meals.
''Then it was I heard Of Postum and de-
cided to try it. I was just convalescing
from a serious illness and was very weak
and emaciated. I know it sounds like
what people would call a fish story but
I actually went from 80 pounds to $50
pounds weight in one year. All the sal
lowness disappeared from my skin and I
now carry my 40 years very lightly indeed.
My change in health is so great that many
OF my friends make joke, of it to this
day, but my nerves are good and I am
happy and contented, so can afford to
laugh with them.
II first learned of Postum from a family
In Indianapolis where saw the mother Of
six children emerge from invalidism to
perfect health on Postum after leaving off
coffee. Soon after that another friend
made remarkable recovery by dropping
coffee and using Postum and when I
moved here a neighbor shook off coffee
and nervous dyspepsia and built himself
up on the food drink. So heard Of one
after another until don't know how
many | have known Of who have recov-
cred from disease of some sort by leaving
off the drug coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee.
You are at liberty to use my nanle.''
