Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption. SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. IF it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

ALL TESTIMONY

A UNIQUE DIVORCE CASE THAT
WAS TRIED IN CHICAGO.
NOT A WORD WAS SPOKEN
Both Principals aud Witnesses Were
Deaf Mutes-WIth Violent Ges-
lures Mlfe Explains That
She Was 6.uta4Iy Treated.

Chlcago.-Ju0Se Bren taroh had the dis
tnction OF tr!lL5 al absolutely unique
lawsuit. II was a divorce suit, al that.
and one in v nIch not " ORD was spoken
nor sound uttered bs either the prInci-
pals or any OF the witnesses. Every one
concerned III 1T was a deaf mute; the
wife, who sued for the divorce. the hus-
band who was SUeo, and the child for
whom the mother has cared, and the wit
nesses who corIoDorated her story of
marital woe ano destined to her GOOD
character.
For deaf and dumb man, Hannay
Lei is said to have managed to make
himself pretty disagreeable before he
deserted his wife and 13-year-old daugh-
ter. Therefore Judge Brentano gave
Mrs. Left divorce when she asked for ii
in his court.
The court did not, perhaps, quite un-
derstand all that Mrs. Lef said her hus-
band did to her, for the language the
complainant spoke is not one of the
courts accomplishments
But from the violence of her gestures
under the counsel's questioning. Judge
Brentano took it that Mir. Left had done
enough for the court to intervene
Which is to say, that Mrs. Left, as well
, as her husband, is deaf mute
The suit was an altogether new thing
In divorces. Not only did Mrs Left tell
her story from her finger tips, but it re-
ceived finger tip confirmation from the
two witnesses who supported her, Mr.
and Mrs. Somehow.
one word was spoken in the trial except
by the lawyers interpreter and the court
The evidence given was seen rather than
heard, and it was an uucanny sort OF
, proceeding, as question after question
was silently signed to the witnesses as
they took the stand.
The courtroom was full of other WON

the Left case with something Of awe.
why should a man be brutal to a
woman that couldn't talk?" ash ed q mere
man who watched the trial.
why Should woman find fault with
husband who couldn talk back. what
ever other sins he may have had" was
the retort of a woman waiting the
chance TO tel her own story.
Mrs. Left was the first witness on the
stand. Mrs. S ii. Halves was the inter
prefer and il was through her that the
questions of court and counsel were
made ineligible To the witness.
Mrs. Lefi's fingers few fast as she told
the story of her married unhappiness.
With rapid gesticulation and emphatic
mods of the head she told of her mar
riage Is years ago when she was but 20
years of age; Of how he had failed TO sup

was the sort of story that is heard every
Saturday in the courtroom of the city.
but it took a kind of dignity from the
manner in which il was tried.
Mr.. Somehow and his wife followed
Mrs. LEFT on the stand. With emphatic
waves of their supple hands they tes;i-
fed to witnessing LET'S cruelty toward
his wife. They also said they had seen
him scold and call her names upon his
fingers. While the husband talked, or
rather signed, the wife looked on. ana
every question that was put she an
swered also. making what might be
called asides in the conversation.
Deaf-mute witnesses are not altogeth-

Halves is a regular Interpreter. but a

given in the sign language had never
been heard there before

charge and Desk Sergeant Schroeder
and Operator Demmler had fed.
Usually sight of Niger is almost
enough TO cure a thirsty feeling, for he
reminds one of spring. But he ate for
breakfast a pop bottle and a monkey
wrench, which did not agree with him.
He wandered down the alley back of
the station and saw Policeman Krantz
sleeping in the barn in a chair. Niger
charged-Krantz does not know how
much, but enough to send him to the
floor.
Then the goat started for the station
and commenced to chase Operator
Demmler and Sergeant Schroeder abou!

the room, and they did not have time
to arise from the floor before the goat
was there with the goods again.
