then turned in an opposite direction.

of the Golden Gate, making various
successful trials of his steering gear.
The currents threatened TO take him
out over the Pacific, and he decided to
make a landing on the parade ground

Why the Fall Is One of the Most Dan

The Fall is one of the most danger
Gus seasons of the year.. because the
hot Summer days have taxed the sys-
tenn, overheated the blood and weak
|ened the heart
II is important to know that Father
Johns Medicine is probably the only
tried and proven family remedy that
can be traced direct to the physician
who prescribed it originally. Not a
patent medicine but the prescription
|of an eminent specialist who pre-
|scribed it for the late Rev. Father
John O'Brien- Of st. Patricks Parish,
Lowell, Mass, fifty years ago by whom
Ii was recommended and from whom It
derived its name.
This prescription contains no opium,
morphine or poisonous narcotics in any
form, as over 9s per cent. of the pat
ent medicines and cough mixtures do,
It cures the Autumn cold or cough
and builds you up; it is pure nourish-
|ment for the blood and nerves. pre-
vents pneumonia and consumption.
It is better to begin taking II now
than to have to call the doctor later
on. Save money by buying the 81

wonder. OF Modoo County.

Probably no other part Of the world,
excepting perhaps the Yellowstone
park, contains so many natural curios-
tiles as Modoc county. N. NJ. The first.
from historical point Of view. is the
famous lava beds, scene Of the Modoc
war, country OF rocks so full Of caves
that lakes and rivers are swallowed up,
leaving nothing but a faint murmur to
show their course through the bowels
OF the earth. In many Of the caverns
an army Of men could hide, and in some
places the intense heat Of the rocks is
evidence that internal tires are raging.
In all parts of the county can be found
mammoth hot springs belching forth
water strongly impregnsted with min

Lockjnw.

As to lockjaw, the Pasteur laborato-
ries send out steady supply of anti
toxin serum that will prevent the out
break OF this disease very much as hy-
drophobia. In both cases, it is true,
the treatment is only preventive, not
curative, but this is usually sufficient.
since the danger is plainly indicated in
advance. If by some sad oversight by
drophobia does break out it always
kills just as it always has killed. but
with loekjaw there is still a chance of
saving life, even after an outbreak, by
inoculating lockjaw antitoxin directly
into the brain. The record of recovery
is 40 per cent-Cleveland Moret in Nc

hold their own nowadays. Never
were the demands of business. the

is commonly seen in a weakened or

defective nutrition Of both body and

clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give

functions healthy and active. From
