EXCITING CONTEST.

Race of Automobile Boats on Monaco
Bay-One Takes Fire.
New York, April 9.-Contests be.

warning, a huge sheet of flame shot
up from the forward tank and swept

CURE TO INSANITY.

Moving Pictures AS an Aid to Those
So Affected.
Chicago, April 9.-MOving pictures
as an aid to the cure of insane patients
have been tried for the first time at
the DUnning asylum.
DR.. V. H. Podstata, superintendent,
declared after the test that the effect
produced was beneficial. The per.
formance on the canvas drew the at
tentiOn and interest of every one OF
the 400 patients gathered in the en-,
tertainment hall. The seemingly re.
alistic manner in which figures appear.
ed and disappeared opened a new
channel for their thoughts and led
them away from the particular halIu.
cination or delusion which affected
their minds. Excitable patients seem.
ed to be quieted and calmed by the
pictures. Those suffering from chron.
ic melancholia appeared to be stimu.
lated and aroused from their constant
brooding over imaginary wrongs and
showed an unusual interest in what
was going on.

take YOUR CHOICE.

Just take your choice. An'attack of Fever,
with Quinine as the treatment means
week or ten days lost from Business,
1t means ten days of unhappiness for you
and ten days of hard work and anxiety for
those who love you. If you are poor man,
your time is worth much to your family,
The rich man might better afford to suffer
a loss of of $4,000 day, as a result from
enforced absence from business, than the
poor man can lose the value of his labor.
JOhnson's Tonic has two cardinalpoints that
should immediately commend it to every
thinking man in this country.
First of ali, it is harmless Absolutely
harmless. Harmless under all circum-
stances.
Second it is quick; it acts at once. In 80
minutes after its administration, it enters
the blood and begins to undo the mischief
caused by Malaria. 1t is the one great med
iclne that never disappoints. Now take
your choice Lie in bed for days, or maybe
weeks; and poison your digestion with Qu-
nine, and arise finally with all the life and
vim taken out of you, or use Johnson's Tonic
and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force, No loss of flesh, No
waste of precious time. Take your choice.
