Fountain Pen Perfection.
tain Pen Fills Itself and Thereby
Fills q Long-felt Want.

Any reliable time saver is eagerly welcomed by
forcefu1 Illustration of this condition Of things in
recent years the enthusiasm with which the
fountain pen was greeted. 1t seemed to mean
the saving of so much time and annoyance for
But the fountain pen not by any means
perfect and its discovered that the
bother was only concentrated, instead of being
dispensed with. The finest fountain pen would
write indferently we'll as long as there was ink
in it but, when that gave out our busy man had
to stop, unscrew inky cap, ihunt around for
filler and the particular ink recommended by the
manufacturers of that particular pen and
so on through a long process of annoyance.
The manufacturers of the Quaker City Self
Filling Fountain Pen have overcome ali this and
produced PRACTICAL writing tool which is as easy
to as if one simply using the filter needed
for the old pen. There is nothing to unscrew,
nothing to squirt, nothing to lose get out OF
order. Reconstruction is simple and subs tantiaI
and the operation of filing it so simple that you
wonder nobody thought Of it before. sAEf
1t is merry necessary to dip the pen pressing it
slightly, lift up as usual and go waiting. Its
capacity is no less than the bothersome kind.
We feel that we are not over-praising the

say that it represents the acme Of Fountain pen
achievement.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. =" Eat plenty Of
pork" was the advice to the
consumPtive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
TODD the consumptive needs
most.
Scots Emulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially.
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way. is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hyPophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

DoWIE's FLIGHT TO FRANCE.
London Makes It Hot for Him-Dub-
bed "The Profit"

A cahlegram from London says: London
has taken leaf out of New York's book
and Dowie, THE Profit" as he is dubbed
here, has fed from England, and none too
soon. His ISLANDERS on the king had closed
every hotel to him and a movement was on
foot for protest against his use Of the
British lines wherein to cross the Allan
tic.
Another twenty-four hours in England
and public opinion might have forced him
to travel as ''two-pounder" emigrant.
His flight was hurried and without dig
nifty and his most important meeting-that
on Zion fnance-was addressed by another
speaker.
There were mysterious happenings Mon
day orning at the Hotel Cecil, where
DCwie was staying. An intimation had
been conveyed to him that his rooms were
required. Thus two problems faced him
what hotel of repute would take him In
and keep him and how could he then keep
his whereabouts secret?
To show how sudden was the decision to
evacuate English soil it may be mentioned
that at midday an emissary of Dowie ap-
piled at Alexandra Hall, Stepney, for per-
mission to engage 1t for last night for
DR." Dowie.
Dewie and his party are staying at the
Grand Hotel, at Wimereux. He took single

If all goes well Mr. Perdicaris, who is
held for a ransom in Morocco, will prob
ably be released by tomorrow. it being
estimated that 1t will require that length
of time for the mission which has gone to
his relief with the ransom demanded to
reach the brigands' camp Mr.. Jusserand.
the French ambassador. was at the State
Department yesterday and had talk with
Secretary Hay about the Moroccan sftua-
ton. The ambassador has heard from his
government that the sultan will grant the
biigand's terms, and indeed some Of Raj
suli s men who were in prison have already
been released evidence of the good faith
in which the terms are being met. 1t IS
thought possible that some of the released
brigands may have been sent with the
mission.
The French government has been active in
conducting negotiations for the prisoners
release and this government will express
its appreciation of these efforts as soon as
Perdicaris is free 1t Is also expected that
the American fleet at Tangier will not tarry
there long after Raisuli's prisoners return
to Tangier
was heard from again today through ca
blegram received from him at the State
Department. dated at Tangfer today. HIS
dispatch indicates that the negotiations Tor
the release of Perdicaris have not yet been
completed, but just where the hitch is can
not be learned. 1t is suspected that 1T re-
lates to the vexed question of guarantee
nv the United States and Great Britain or
immunity for Raisuli and the faithful OBJ
seryance of the sultan's promises The Of
ficials have qualified their estimate OF yes
terday as to the date when Perdicaris ana
Varley will be released and believe that on
the basis Of Mr.. Gummere's cablegram or
today several days must yet elapse before
the desired result can be attained.
