Save the Stomach.

1t begins to look though within ten years all
medicines designed to relieve or cure the vital
organs reached by the blood will be administered
simultaneously instead Of taken through the stom-
ach. Many Of them now, notably the sieber
Serum the scientific and only cure for Specific
Blood Poison. DR.. Sieber has PROVEN In null
ttude of cases that the way to cure Blood Poison
is to inject DIRECTLY INTO THE BLOOD a
serum which is anti-toxIn to the poison there.
Treating Blood Poison by mercury or potash,
through the stomach, is useless-besides it's dan

JUDGE TOOK DIFFERENT VIEW.
Fined Charles Davis $40 for Accost-
ing Young Woman in Street.

Charles Davis was the name given by a
man about forty years old, who was ar
raigned in Police Court today on a charge
of disorderly conduct He was arrested by
Policeman Waldron near 7th and G streets
northwest about o'clock last night, on
complaint made by the Misses Mabel and
Josephine Straub, who live near It'll street
and Florida avenue northwest.
The young women testified that Davis fol-
lowed them from It'll street and New York
avenue to It'll and street and persisted In
trying to attract their attention by bowling
and raising his hat, and that he touched
one Of them on the arm.
Davis pleaded not guilty, and was en-
phatic in his denial of intent to do wrong,
although he admitted that he bowed to the
young women He said he was from North
Carolina and that it was the custom there
to bow to women in the street.
Judge Kimball decided that Davis had
made mistake by attempting to introduce
North Carolina methods here, and imposed
a fine Of $50, in default Of which Davis will
spend two months in the workhouse.

Mr.. Charles Jacobson. who recently spent
some time in Cuba, has returned home. He
was accompanied on the trip by his wife and
Mr. Eugene Cochran. Before going to Cuba
the party spent several days in Florida at
Palm Beach and Miami. Mr.. Jacobson
thinks there Is no place on the face Of the
earth that surpasses the resorts on the
Florida coast. He noticed a great improve
ment in Cuba since his trip there before
the Americans were SO much in evidence.

than 1t was when the United States took
possession. The streets Of the city were
as clean II not cleaner that those in the
cities in this country. 1t is true that they
are very narrow and do not make so good
a showing as the streets of our city, but
on my recent visit I found them much
cleaner that they had been formerly. There
Is every appearance of prosperity in the
city, and the people seem contented. There
has also been decided decrease in the
number Of beggars on the streets, and
strangers can walk the thoroughfares with
out being stopped and asked for money at
every turn. The difference Is SO great that

Mr.. Jacobson said he was very much in

This game has taken the place OF bull

in the near future. He said 1t Is some
thing on the order of basket ball. but much
more interesting, and he thinks 1t could be
made almost as much Of an attraction as
