England. Said the first man from
Dixie TO his friend:

THE very same. Well, do you
know sir, that in Boston the enlight-
ened citizens take those little white,
round beans. boil them Tor three
hours, mix them with mol"os"" nd J

them, and then-what do you suppose
they then do with the heans?"

Our progressive druggist l., G..
Saunders in speaking of the so called
cures for the many diseases OF hu-
manity, has occasion to speak of
"Zen o" positive cure for Eczema
and all skin diseases. The manufae-
turer OF "Iemo" Mir. +. w. Rose, of
Harrisburg, ILL.,, gave six hard years
study toward the perfecting of"zemo."
Many persons in Saline County, of
which Harrisburg is the county seat,
were invited to use Mr.. Roses re-
dy and In a number of cases of fro
IL to Is years standing a complete
cure was the result. Mr.. Saunders
says that after being shown positive
proof that "Zemo" will and does
cure these most severe and long
standing cases that he was glad to
offer to his patrons the only remedy
that he believes will absolutely give a
permanent cure. In a few days
"Iemo" will be received and we will
display in our windows some photo
.
Mr.. Rose has written strong book let
on the treatment OF Eczema and skin
diseases and we will take pleasure in
giving copy to those who call. It is
our desire to have every sufferer from
chronic, long standing cases of Ecze-
ma and skin diseases call and see us
when on the authority of Mr.. Rose,
we will give them legal guarantee
that "Iemo" will cure any case OF
skin or scalp disease no matter from
what cause or of how long standing.
"Zemo" is a nice clean liquid for ex-
ternal use and during treatment there
is no cause for loss of time from BUSH
ness. Mr.. Rose is so much in earn
est and is so honest in his statements
he says he does not want a dollar OF
the peoples money when cure is not
affected.

Paul Dresser has been deluged of
late years by letters begging for ad-

realizing that musicians are born and

BILE. But even patience has its occa-
sional Waterloo, and Dresser's came
last week. He was riding uptown on
a Broadway car when a total stranger
cropped into the seat beside him with

"The absolutely necessary require

leave the car, "are pen, ink, paper

Cure for Bowed Leus,

A happy mother whose little boys
legs had been frightfully bowed and
had ,ome straight, upon being con-
graduated told how the cure had been
accomplished. 1t was by the simple
method Of riding a velocipede. there
by combining much pleasure for the
little fellow with the treatment for
his little limbs. This certainly seems
en- easy, inexpensive and pleasant way
to cure a deformity that is quite COM
mon among children. 1t could do no
harm to give it a trial.

me Of u prattv slick trick | witnessed
the 9TH I dag on the part of down
East skipper who wished to rid the
ship of number of troublesome ro-
dents. His vessel was moored near to
an English fr"igj ter and ne noticed
that she was taking in a quantity OF
cheese SO one evening he found an
excuse for hauling out to her and
taking his own packet alongside. The
next step was to procure a plank,
smear it well with an odoriferous
preparation Of red herrings and place
1t through an open port on board the
EnFlishman. The result was immi-
grafton of rats from the American
ship's hold to the cheese-laden vessel

Suit was brought recently by q
cellarmSG against a liquor dealer in
liverpool for enforced intoUcation.
The plaintiff alleged that he was OBJ.
liged to draw off whisky from one cask
to another by means of tube, which
he had to suck every now and then to
start the flow. At each operation he
was compelled to swallow little OF
the liquor, and in this way became
drunk. He had been fourteen years
in the trade, and had never been drunk
before He was granted verdict Of
1915 and costs.

Why czarewIteh Is Alexis,

1t has been tradition since the
time of Nicholas to name the czare.

Nicholas. But the murder Of Alex

more AleXanders on the Russian

is believed that the man or woman

for the following year. The privilege
of doing so is eagerly contested for

WE'RE AFRAID OF BATH TUB.
Continuance Was Convenient, but Had
Awful Possibilities.

Awful Possibilities.
It would seem-that the Harlem fat
architect has at last reached the limit
Of space economy.
On their return from the country
two women of moderate means set out
in quest of an apartment which should
combine the maximum of respectable
lty with the minimum of rent. They
found this a dlscouraging business
They were frowned upon by janitors
and snubbed by bellboys. They trav-
eled up and down miles of stairway.
They inspected six-room-and-bath
suites by the dozen, but found nothing
to suit both their tastes and their
pocketbooks. All the apartments they
saw were either cheap and nasty or
desirable and dear.
But when finally they reached an
imposing yellow brick edihce with
plate glass doors and marble halls,
and a rent that made them raise their
eyebrows in surprise, they seemed to
have found at last the combination
they sought.
You'll find there's a reason" said
the younger woman.
But there didn't seem to be. The
rooms were light and pleasant; there
was a gas range and hot water sup
ply.
But where is the BATH" they
asked.
For answer the jantor turned to
panel in the back parlor and pressed
a button. The panel slid back and dis
closed-a bath tub!
The women looked at each other
Would your" asked one.
But a caller might inadvertently
touch the button" said the other.
This suggestion settled 1t, and they
are still fiat hunting.
