Lettuce Prevents Smallpox.

Don't forget that lettuce is a pre- ventive of smallpox
 So far as 1t is possible for human being to be protected from catching smallpox lettuce Is protection.
 No need for vaccination whatever. Any person who eats small quantity of lettuce twice a day, morning and evening, Is as well protected agaiust smallpox as it is possible for anyone to be.
 To be sure. one ought to be clean. ought to live in ventilated rooms. and avoid dirt of all sorts. Also avoid contact with people who lhavd small pox. Foolish exposure to the conta- zion of smallpox is not to be thought of. But there is no need Of vaccina- ton.
 Go calmly about your business. Provide small quantity of lettuce morning and evening and you can feel sure that you have protected yourself and family in the best possible way against smallpox.
 Lettuce is one of the oldest were table remedies known to the medical profession. Long before it was used as food 1t was used as medicine. Many times 1t has been claimed that it has magical or miraculous powers to prevent contagious disease We be- lieve this is carrying matters alto gether too far. But lettuce does fur nish to the system exactly what Is needed to protect it against the poison of smallpox.
 We defy anyone to produce a case of smallpox that has been contracted by any person who made daily nsegof lettuce as a food. If there is any such case on record we would be glad to hear of it.--Medical Talk.

There is something new uIMier the sun. It is scootering, which an ex- change describes as follows: Compar- atively few sportsmen have yet heard of scootering, but their number will be larger next year. Scootering may be defined as flying over ice and skim, ming over water. Its great advantage lies in the fact that you do not hays, to change cars. The ice-yacht, is a rapid transit device, with internal ac- commodations, and dangerous possibil- itfes, if the ice be infirm. The scooter is an almost equally speedy contriy ance in which you can find real com fort and feel perfectly secure that if your craft does happen to take $ plunge into water it will, return to the ice again without subjecting you3lte more serious discomfort than q dasE of spray. The scooter Is real boat that travels equally we'll. if not equal " fast, over ice or water. It has, metal-shod runners to carry it over ice and water-tig.4t hull to carry 1t oyer water. It has cockpit that will ac~ commodate two persons comfortably and one or two more on pinch. 1he. hull is almost an exact counterpart oi the sneazbox, from which it was cyl dently derived, but the bottom is flatter.

A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.

"One Hundred Miles an Hour was for many years one Of the will-o'7the wisps Of rapid transit which the the orists chased along with the two minute trotter. but which we of to- day have seen made practical real ity. Facing the problem of high speed for electric passenger traffic as matter of both scientific and practical interest. the thorough Ger mans undertook a series of eXperi' ments in order to prove the truth o1 fallacy of these theories advanced That these experiments have succeed' cd up to the full measure of the mos' sanguine of theorists has been an nounced in newspapers and technical journals.
 1t remains, however. for q distln' g11ished scholar in close touch with both science and the publc. to inter pret in a scholarly yet most under standabre manner the broader genera results Of these experiments in which the average American Is more inter ested than in their technical details. If the March McClure's President Henry S. Pritchett. of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, gives his impresslons while speed ng on this famous German experimental road, and thus presented they make the rarest reading for the progressive and practical people of tue United States, who are watching every de <velopment of this gaga ntie two-sidetl battle between electricity and steam and electricity and time.
 Proceeding after their usual man. ner by forming q studiengesellschaft for the prosecution of experiments in the matter, the German investiga tors step by step overcame all of the d ii culties presented in the problem O electric transmission until to-day they have reached the point where the cars are run day after day with entire safety at speed of more than t12O miles an hour The experimental road consists Of a single track about fourteen miles long. running from Ma t'ienfelde to Zossen. in the enyirons Of Berlin. Dr Pritchett writes most entertainingly as we'll as instructiye'y of his impressions of this wild flight. which he describes as a perfectly feasible electrical possibility under proper conditions anywhere up to the speed of 100 miles an hour. Up to tshat point. he states that travel can be made comfortable, safe and fairly aetonomical Sas<. s5sl5e

Since Herbert Spencer died there has come to light letter he wrote tc a Japanese friend, with the request te show 1t to the Prime Minister of ia pan. but not otherwise to publish ii so long as the author lived, says a writer in a New York paper In this he advises the Japanese to hold ali Europeans and Americans at arms length, allowing them to trade in the ports of Japan, but forbidding them to own or even lease land. He warns his friends that if they pursue a course which seems more friendly than this, they wills share the fate of India. Under one or another pre-. tense the foreigners, will get perma. nent foothold in the country, and will extend their trading privileges into po- litical control. He also warned them against intermarrlage with the white races, declaring that the progeny of such marriages have not the good qualities of either of their parents And he expresses his complete ap proval of the laws which shut the. Chinese out of America, for much the. same reasons as makes him wish tc see white foreigners kept from mak- ing permanent settlement in Japan. His reason for asking that the letter be not published is that he expected it to make Englishmen angry, as no doubt it will.

 The paper vest, as 1t is. called, q modern device for protection from tho coid. is made of ordinary cambric with an interlining of tough, flexible paper suited to the purpose, that will not break or crack when bent or crumpled when the vest is wrapped about tho body. It is made without buttons or buttonholes, being kept closed when worn by means of tapes which tied around the body.
 Made of such materials and ill that simple form the paper vest Is very in- expensive. It sells for 50 cents. It is commonly worn under the outer sh'rt. but 1t may be put on over the wearer's waistcoat if he chooses to wear 1t there.
 Who wears paper vests?' the sales man said. 'Whv people that are around much out of doors and exposed to the cold; and on days such as we have been having this winter men not perhaps commonly much exposed who saw them in the window would come in and look them over and buy one and not carry It away done up, but put it right on and wear it awat. And women come in and buy them for their men folks"

HOW m THt LAW COURTS
frank 5. Hobbs, ths Well knoHn ldahI
filming Promoter, Sued for fraud.
plaintiff is Awarded $1,000.

An Associated Press dispatch from
New York states that Frank S. Hobbs,
mining engineer of Boise, who was
committed to Ludlow street jail on a
civil order of arrest 10 months ago
and who has remained there since
without hearing, has been brought
before Justice Dickey in the supreme
court, Brooklyn, on writ of ha beas
corpus. The plaintiff in the writ is
Edward B. Tuston, president of the
First National bank of Bloomsbury,
Pa.
Hobbs was arrested on the affidavit
of Tuston that Hobbs had obtained
$500 from him by fraud to invest in
mining scheme and the further
affidavit of Charles w. Ray, a pro-
motor, that he believed Hobbs in
tended to leave the state. The suit
was to recover the $500.
Witnesses stated that Hobbs had
received no part of the $500 but
that it was paid over to the treasurer
of a company organized to exploit the
property, mining claim located by
Hobbs in Idaho. A disagreement
arising later as to the value of the
mine resulted in the Imprisonment of
Hobbs. Sheriff Erlanger heard of
the prisoners predicament, Hobbs
funds having been tied up in a bank
by writ of attachment when he was
arrested, and secured council for him.
| The mining claims which Hobbs
located and sold to fusion adjoin the
Dewey group on the southwest and
the Martin Curran properties on the
south at Thunder Mountain. They
we're located in February, 1908, wher

Hobbs called them the Comstock No

Traction. He sold them to the Com
stock Mining company in New Yorl
and was paid $40, 900 on the deal
Of this amount Hobbs drew out $1,000
and returned to Roosevelt in compan,
with Ray. After looking over tn
property they went back to New Yorl
