A JUVENILE ToRREADoR.
He Made Gallant Use Of Cape When
Bull Charged Him.
From the Mexican Herald.

From the Mexican Herald.
There was an accident yesterday shortly
after the close of a novillada at the Plaza
Mexico that came near resulting in the
death of a few young hopefuls who took 1t
into their heads that they would like to join
IN the national sport
Shortly after tho crowd left the ring
half dozen young boys OF ages ranging from
twelve to fifteen years got down into the
bull ring to play bull fight. One of the
number thought the game was too slow, so
while the ring attendants were busy about
other work he entered the pen where the
bulls were confined and slyly let one Of
them into the ring.
With mad rush the big black bull en-
tered the ring. One of the little boys had
been using his plush linen cape for a capa
in his plays with the other boys. and he was
near the door when the bull entered AL
though one of the opposite gates was open
the bun made no effort to get away, but
rushed at the boy with the cape.
There was but one thing for the boy to do
and he did 1t. With all the knowledge which
no had gained by watching the matadors in
the ring he let the bull charge the cape.
struck him a hard blow. knocking the little
fellow fully fifty feet and tearing his Shout
DER with his horn. The angry bull then
turned his attention to the red cape.
" Acn tho OlHeI boys saw tne Dull Charg-
Ing them they fed for the fence and climbed
70 safety. where they watched the bull tear
ing the cape. Finally 1t occurred to one of
the older boys that by all charging for the
bull he might possibly be scared away from
the PROSTATE body OF the injured lad. So
with clubs and boards they drove the bull
from the ring. They gave their attention
to the bull none too quickly for he had tired
OF paving and stamping the cape and was
making for the boy.
When the doctors got In their work ON
the little fellow, whose name is Angel More.

ping or consequence. and that although
the boy was senseless from the blow there
was nothing of really dangerous nature

Antiseptics Used With Food.
From the London Telegraph.


A matter OF practical science to which
legislation must be directed much more
seriously than has yet been done was
brought before the congress of medicine
recently held at Madrid. DR. Brouardel of
Paris spoke strongly Of the dangers aris-
Ing from the addition of antiseptfcs to wine.
beer cider. milk. syrups. butter, fish. pre-
served fruits and other commodities which
are in daily use food. 1t is well known
that salicyiic acid. saiicyIate of soda. sui
phites. borax, boric acid. formalin and a
variety Of other chemicals are employed TO
make the substance in question keep" the
pretcnse being that they are used In such
small quantities as to be innocuous. To
this allegation DR.. Brouardel opposed two
tndtsputable facts. determined by analysis
and experience-frst. that the preserva-
lives employed are used In far larger guam
titles than the users admit, and secondly
that the continued consumption Of alimen-
5ary substances containing these antiseptic
materials, even in very small proportions,
becomes gravely detrimental to the human
organism, amounting In the long run to
aoy poisoning. Mans constitution has, not
been made for the daily elimination of
ehnute doses OF poison. In this insidious
form of mischief may lie some of the blame
for our physical degeneracy Apparently
Tie evil Is Of SUCH sort that International
measures may. be- necessary to check 1t.
Trea tment Of food In this manner should
not be called adulteratton, byt poisoning

Tobacco Smoke and the Blood.

From the London Lancet. =.
!, Two or three mouthfuls of tobacco smoke
from cigarette were shaken up with few
drops of blood diluted with water in q bot
tie. Almost Immediately the blood assumed
the pink color characteristic of blood con-
tanning monoxide gas. and further observa-
tions with the spectroscope confirmed the
presence in the blood Of carbon monoxide.
Similarity. few mouthfuls of smoke from
a pipe and cigar were tried, and the re-
suits We're even more marked In this ex-
pertinent we have some explanation in par
ticular of the evil effects of cigarette smok-
ing. for 1t is chiefly cigarette smoke that Is
fnhaled-au Indulgence by which the poison
GUS carbon monoxide Is introduced directly
into the blood. This effect of tobacco smoke
upon the blood appears to US to be Of con-
significance

How a Union stood by an Employer.
While labor unions are frequently
compelled to oppose employers. there
are often instances where the employer
receives great assistance from a union.
A short time ago. for example, glass
making corporation in Columbus, O.,
was in urgent need Of money. The local
union of glass workers took $4,000 out
of its treasury and loaned it to the
company without interest or time limit.

U. 6. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something
to Produce Artificial Diges-
tion is Generally Taken.
Hence, ,Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
Of other Digestive Remedies
Have Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

EX. U. S. Senator M. c. Butler from
Il South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In a re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, d. c., says:
"Ican recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for q Short
period and 4 feel very much relieved.
1t is indeed q wonderful medicine be-
sides a good tonic. "---M. G. Butler.
The only rationalway to cure dyspep-
sia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform d digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna curesit. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as we'll in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy
Peruna cures dyspepsia because 1T is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

IT WAS NOT APPRECIATED
Minister'S Wife Had a Flower Hat
and Put It in the Wrong
Place.

A story is told by the Chicago Inter
Ocean of a woman in that town, the wife
OF IL young minister, who has always had
a liking for hats of the tlowerbed variety,
although she condemned others for vast
ing money that should 60 to the heathcn.
At present she owns a dream OF a
"sky piece that is covered with violcts:
The young wife wore this hat to a funeral
recently, at which her husband oiticiated.
Going INTO the room which con tanned the
coffin she removed the nat and placed it
on a stand.
The sad-faced, sleekha undertaken
came in a few minutes later to arrange
the floral tokens on the coffin. After
putting the bouquets, wreaths, pill lows,
broken wheels, anchors and the usual run
of flowers in place, he picked up the vio-
letcovered hat and tenderly placed it on
top of all the rest.
Several OF, the "mourners' giggled, and
the minister's wife wanted to grab her hat
and run. She had to let it alone however,
until the close of the ceremony.
When she marched past the bier she
lunged for the hat and successfully made
her escape.

WHAT THE KING EATS.
What's Fit for Him.

A Massachusetts lady who has been
through the mill with the trials of the
usual housekeeper and mother relates an
interesting incident that occurred not
long ago. She says:
81 can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of all
cereal foods in my family, young as well
as old. It is food and medicine both to
us. A few mornings ago at breakfast
my little boy said:
."sMamma, does the king eat Grape
Nuts very morning?'
"I smiled and told him did not know,
but that thought Grape-Nuts certainly
made delicious dish, fit for king"
Ut's fact that the king of England and
the German emperor both eat Grape
Nuts.)
81 find that by the constant use of
GTape-Nuts not only as morning cereal
but also in puddings, salads. ETC., made
after the delicious recipes found in the
little book in each package it is proving
to be a great nerve food for me. besides
having completely cured a long standing
case of Indigestion" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the
most scientific food in the world.
Ten days trial of this proper food in
place of improper food will show in
steady, strong nerves, sharper brain
and the power to ego" longer and further
and accomplish more. There's reason.
Look in each pkg. for the famous little
book. "The Road to Wellville."
