Hot-Weather Danger.

Ptomaines r poisonous products
formed in fish, meat, milk and other ar
ticles of food by a process of decompo-
sition that leaves little other trace of
it's action. Bacteria probably promote
their formation, but on that point there
remains some doubt says the New
York Tribune. The faint develops in
consequence of a failure to cook the
food properly. At this season the duty
of promptly reducing the temperature
of milk at the dairy farm from which il
is derived is often sighted and as a
result the fluid may come to market in
what is a dangerous condition. Con-
sumers buy it without suspicion and
when sickness is caused by its use it is
usually too late to trace the original
source, and consequently impossible to
fix the responsibility.

pocket case which, he explained, con-
Gained an assortment Of diamond studs
and rings. He asked that this be put
Sl the safe.
The following afternoon he stepped
up to the Office and asked the landlord
for q large-sized envelope. On receiv-
ing it, he took from his pocket a large
soil of bills and, after counting them
in the presence of the proprietor, writ
Gng his name on the envelope, and put
ting down the amount as $1,000, he
6aid:
please get that pocket case Of dia-
monds from the safe. l am going
over to Grand Haven this evening on
a diamond deal, and will be back to-
morrow or the next day"
AS the landlord gave him the case Of
diamonds, the young man handed him

$1,000, he held in the safe, and for
whom he had borrowed 5000 from a
merchant friend a couple of days be-
fore.
A valise, similar to the one left at
Muskegon, had also been left at the
Grand Haven hotel.
Putting two and two together. it
was plain that both landlords had
been duped by this smooth CRATER,
and thereupon the envelopes were
opened. Each was found to contain a
lot of brown paper, cut in the exact
size Of dollar bills.
On comparing notes, the hotel men
found that his methods were the same
in eacn case. In both instances he
had previously, without the knowledge
of the proprietors, secured a large en-
velope from the hotel stock, on which

boot money, which / wish you would

have on another diamond deal, which
I expect to clinoh to-day. Yours ETC."
Not daring to entrust the messenger
with the diamond mans thousand dol
lar package, and not feeling justified
in opening it. the landlord instantly
sent the two hundred in cash out OF
his own pocket. First, however, he
questioned the messenger and learned
that he was an old resident of Grand
Haven, and knew everyone there.
The next day we expected to see a
handsome team driven into town, and
were really disappointed, when night
came, and none had arrived.
The next day was still more disap-
pointing, especially to the landlord.
On the following morning, the hotel
people began discussing the matter
quite freely. The landlord brought out
the envelope, upon which was written
the diamond dealers name and the
amount of cash enclosed, and although
he claimed to fee! perfectly secure it
was plain that ha was much per-
At last, not hearing from the young
man, the clerk went to Grand Haven
and. to his astonisn'uent, found the

fully sealed, and said:
"Just put this in the safe. land
sRor6."
That evening he started for Grand
Maven, carrying with him a small
handbag, and leaving behind a fairly
.good-iooking medium-sized valise.
The following day a young man
saIighted from the Grand Haven trail
and, going to the hotel, presented a
Better from the diamond dealer, which
read as follows:
Dear Landlord: ] am closing a deal
Cor a fine pair of horses and a carriage,
with which | shall leave here to-mor-
nSw morning for Muskegon. / am
leading @ few diamonds on the deal.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1905-09-23

he had written the name and amount,
and in which he had placed the brown
paper. Later, when calling for the
diamond case, he had hastily ex-
changed the envelope containing the
money for the fake envelope, when the
landlord turned to the safe.
A~merican-like, these landlords pock-
eted their losses, and said nothing.

CLUB

One of our exchanges gives the fol-
lowing cure for insomnia:
II suppose all of us are suffering
from the invasion of electricity. My
old friend Bounce, who was a victim
of insomnia for 40 years, thinks he
sleeps now better than any other man
On earth. He lost his way in the Adj
rondacks and stayed overnight in the
cabin of a forester. His sleep was the
deep sleep of a just man made perfect,
and in the morning he found that he
had not moved an inch all night.
It's the insulation the forester
insisted. You city folks are killing
yourself with contact. If you'll break
the contact you'll be able to sleep and
get your nerves back
"This matter of contact was finally
explained to mean that our bedposts
are in contact with the floors, the floors
with the walls and the walls with
mother earth, so that whatever per-
sonal magnetism a man has in him
goes away in the night time, leaving
him like a log on his mattress. The
forester had obtained four glass insu-
lators from telegraph poles somewhere
and screwed them on the posts of his
guest bed, so that the electricity could
not run away. Bounce, the very day he
got home, insulated his bed, and from
that moment to the present his in
somnia has been banished."
/ have frequently recommended the
insulation Of the bed for insomnia as
we'll as for other forms of nervousness.

IMPORTANT FACTS
FOR cow OWNERS

The mechanical Cream Separator has
become a vital feature of every home
dairy just as of every butter factory.
Its use means much more and much
better cream and butter, as well as
saving of wateE ice, time and room.
The difference in results is not small
but big. Few COWS now pay without a
separator. Dairying is the most profit
able kind of farming with one.
9S% of the creamery butter Of the
world Is now made with De Laval

of the enema as a means or treating
diseases and as a remedy for ordinary
constipation. Shall we use it or not?
Our home doctors differ. | would also

during this hot weather.
Assuring you that your opinion VII
be highly appreciated and hoping TO
have it soon, | remain, Z. S.
In some cases the enema is quite nee
essary and does a vast amount of good.
AS a general cure-all | casnOt recon-
mend it so highly as some do. In
some cases it is positively harmful.
Each case must be studied separately
and treatment given according to the
specific needs.
The enema, properly taken, is better
in the majority of cases than severe
physic, but under proper living, neither
is required.
Urticaria, hives or nettlerash, is
caused by stomach disorders and fire.
quently follows very quickly after eat
ing Strawberries and some other acid
fruits, shellfsh, ETC., especially Holsters
and crabs. Anyone who is subject to
attacks should use great care in the
diet and should never eat late at night
nor overload the stomach. Masticate
all food quite thoroughly and see that
constipation does not at any time exist.
