Immortality.-Th never was a
time when there was so much tempta-

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, it's nutrl-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purities the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..

French Red Tape.

Recently the time arrived for G..
Stern, the leading jockey of France,
to take his term of service in tho
French army. He made application
to enter a cavalry regiment. The
authorities at the war Office have
refused his request. The reason
given is that Stern has only one
wear to serve and that it is impos-
sible to form an efficient cavalryman
in less than three years! This incl
dent is believed to establish new
