KYRLE BELLEW IN AUSTRALIA
Kyrle Bellew has had an interesting and
varied career both on and off the stage. His

collector.
THAT didn't come to much, says Mr.
Bellew. "for at that time In Melbourne

TWO FRAUD ORDERS ISSUED,
Alleged "Sure Things" In Medicine
and the Rack Track.

Fraud orders have been issued by the
Post Office Department against the Pru-
DENTAL Company Of Chicago and the West
ern Medical Institute of Cincinnati. Ohio.
The Prudential Company was one Of the
ordinary sort that advertised extensively
to invest money for clients by betting on
horse races A considerable profit was
guaranteed, and the interesting statement
made that "all element OF chance Is elimi-
mated"
When the postal officials saw this they be-
came suspicious, because they are Of the
opinion that II is as impossible to eliminate
chance in betting on the ponies as 1t is
to demonstrate perpetual motion. The pos
tai inspectors made a thorough investiga-
ton. and discovered that the company
was composed of one man, who called at
the Monadnock building for mail. 1t had no
office, and difficulty was experienced in To-
eating the proprietor. 1t was decided the
scheme was essentially one to defraud and
the action of the department followed.
The case of the Western Medical Institute
Is more yoluminous, and involves the state
ments of three well-known local physicians
as well as correspondence between the Post
master General and the Secretary of Agri-
culture. 1t appears from the evidence that
Natures Health Restorer," manufactured
by the institute, was advertised as a cure
for most anything from falling hair to a
broken back. Kidney and liver disease
rheumatism. erysipelas. scrofula. neuralgia
and host of female complaints were
among the ailments that Natures Health
Restorer' would cure, according to the ad-
vertisements The department decided that
the claims were not well founded.

Policemen Parents.
From Success Magazine.


A great many parents use the police
method of government with their children.
Force is the only method OF governing they
know. They have never learned to lead.
They only know how to drive.
In many q home the father is looked upon
more as a stern policeman. a severe Judge,
or q hard taskmaster. than as fond par
ent. The children feel sense of relief when
he leaves home IN the morning, and have
dread OF his return. Instead of waiting for
his homecoming as a plavfellow who VIII
enter into their sports. romp and play with
them, sympathize with them in their little
their toys and everything that interests
them, they shrink from him. They fear
him. His presence throws a gloomy shadow
upon them. When they see him coming
they hush their laughter and stop their
romping play and merry games.
Children who are continually repressed in
this unnatural way are usually timid and
full of fear. They lose the sweet open con-
fdence and trustfulness which constitute
the greatest charm OF childhood. They be-
come hard. cold secretive and suspicious.
The Joy and gladness and spontaneity which
are as natural to the young as beauty and
perfume to flowers are crushed out OF them
by harsh. repressive measures They be-
come like fruit grown In the shade-pun-
gent. bitter. unlovely in every way.
Love is the great educator, the great I'M
folder Of youth. AS the sun is the only
thing that will bring out the sweet juices
and develop the luscious flavor. the ex-
ouisite beauty and tint OF fruits and flow
velop the sweetness and beauty Of the child.

taneous, the beautiful side of Its nature. 1t

sion,
