DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are

one of the most timely and interest

The doctor said in substance that
every spring the blood is loaded with
the effete accumulations of winter. de-

the bowels and the proper circulation

Oil Products Of Pennsylvania Exceeds
That Of All the Rest Of the World.


According to report OF the geo
logical survey OF the United States
government. now nearly ready for
publication. petroleum was first dis
covered by Col. Drake less than half
century ago in Pennsylvania near
Titusville. Men In those days had no
notion that petroleum was among tho
necessities of existence. A tallow dip
or wax candle Illuminated sufficient
ly the nights activities and a blazing
log wood fire left no room for desire
for another kind OF heater. Petro-
leum might have been counted su-
perfiuity. but instead It sprang into
immediate favor. and now its list of
popular byproducts grows longer
every year.
The total production of crude Pc
troleum from 1859 to the end of 1902
has been no less than 1.165. $50. .727

Test Of Flour.

The letters xxx. which decorate
our flour bags are a source of mystery
to the average housewife, but get
there very naturally. In the largest
flour mills several tests are given all
flour sent out. but the final test is the
baking trial. In kitchen attached
to the flour mills. which is resplendent
with shining pans. electric ovens. and
white cooling boards, there are loaves
of bread made daily from the different
samples of -four which have Just been
ground. Cooks are kept the year
around for this purpose. for as many
as sixty loaves are made daily by one
mill alone.
Exactly at 8 o'clock in the after
noon. after the bread is done. the head
millers file into the kitchen and cut
and inspect the different loaves. No
man knows which -four has come from
his mill. SO the test Is an impartial
one. A vote Is taken on the best loaf.
and the -four from which that was
made is marked with the mysterious
KS. So great has this business of
testing flour become that one building
in Minneapolis has testing-rooms to
which samples of grain are sent from
all over the United States and Canada.
These samples are made into bread
after going through miniature -four

Divorce TanEle Ended.

NEW YORK, April 9.-The sequel to the decision of Justice Truax of the supreme court vacating the judgment setting aside the decree of divorce se- cured by Mrs. Clemence Cowles Dodge from Charles F.. Dodge came out in the supreme court when Moses Mein- man, counsel for Charles w. Morse, applied to Justice Davis to make an order setting aside the decree obtained by Mrs. Morse before she became Mrs. Dodge for the second time, annulling her marriage to MT. Morse. As there was no opposition, the motion will without doubt be granted, and Mir. and Mrs. Morse will again be in the posi- tion occupied by them prior to the ap- plication for the annulment of the de- cree of divorce obtained by Mrs. Dodge
