HORSE SENSE.
How 10 Fixed the Pump AMI Charged
SIS for 1t.

~ UT Is
The question Of remuneration for
labor, always mooted one, is sus-
ceptible of being viewed frcm various
standpoints.
In small community In Texas,
where water is hard to find, Mr.. Hen
derson, the owner Of well, fitted out
with patent pump, was a person of
consequence. 1t was, also, matter of
public concern when the pump got out
Of gear and refused to perform it's
proper functions.
All the men in the locality spent the
day in Henderson's back yard, con-
sulting and "tinkering," jointly and
severally, at the pump; but all to no
avail.
Finally along came young fellow,
10 Brady by name, from neighbor-
ing ranch. He looked the pump over,
raped it on the head with hammer,
thought couple of minutes, and in
side Of two minutes more had it in
working order again. Appreciation
was general.
Just name your price, 10, my boy"
said the owner of the pump heartily.
10 considered bit and then said
that he guessed five dollars would be
about right.
There was change at this, and re-
marks of different nature from ap-
probation were freely INDUCED in.
Now, see here, Jo," said the ag-
grieved Henderson, II thought you
was a square kind of a CHAP! That
amt any white mans charge. Why.
you don't do nothin' at albany one
Of us could done what you done
and you want more'n five minutes
doin' it, neither. Fifty cents I'D be
big price for that. work you done!"
10 considered again
"All right" he said, "I'l1 make
another charge. I'll send you my
BILL" he added, turning on his heel.
When the bill came 1t read thus:
For working on one pump five
minutes .................... so
For horse-sense that no other
mothers son Of you could
scratch up ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $3.50

GOLD GOLD"
Good" He Says. "But Comfort Better

Food that fits is better than a gold
mine." says a grateful man.
Before I commenced to use Grape
Nuts food no man on earth ever had
worse infiiction from catarrh of the
stomach than had for years.
II could eat nothing but the very
lightest food and even that gave me
great distress.
~ went through the catalogue of pre-
pared foods but found them all Except
Grape-NutsD more or less indigestible,
generating gas in the stomach (which
in turn produced headache and various
other pains and aches), and otherwise
unavailable for my use.
"Grape-Nuts food have found easily
digested and assimilated. and it has re-
newed my health and vigor and made
me a well man again. The catarrh of

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PERISH.
ryphoon's Frighiful Havoc on Chinese
Islands.

Victoria, B. c., (By Cable).-The
steamer Tartar, which arrived from the
Orient, brought news from Shanghai
that the loss of life among the natives of
the island at the mouth Of the Yangtse
River, as a result of the typhoon at the
beginning of September, was tremen-
dous. The North China Daily News, of
Shanghai, says:
"To the east of Tanagming two is
lands, one called Yawosha, the other
Shihiousha, distant about 20 miles from
Woosung, have suffered much from the
typhoon, nearly all the inhabitants hav-
ing been swept away. The islands have
only been inhabited for short time,
comparatively speaking, as they are of
recent formation and not much above
high-water mark. 1t is reported that
nearly 10000 people have been drowned
on these two islands and the smaller
islands adjacent. Tamagming itself has
not suffered much, being well above the
high-water mark"
The Shanghai papers say that the
damage to the Canadian Pacific Railroad
liner Empress of Japan by the typhoon
will necessitate the expenditure of $780,
BOO for repairs. During the storm the
steamer Pechili, formerly the Rio de
Grande du Sol, foundered near the
mouth of the Yangtse. Her crew of 81
we're saved by the German steamer
Albenga.

PROF. BEHRINGSNEW FIND
Claims He Has Discovered Cure For
tuberculosis.
PREyENTA1IvEAs WILL AS CURATIVE.
Professor Behrlng VIII, However. Hold the
Secret for Sometime, as He Did In the
Case Of His Diphteria Serum-fIe Says
That From Now on Victims Of the Disease
May Hope Again.

Paris (By Cable) .-Professor Behring.
who discovered the serum treatment for
diphtheria, and who is one of the most
famous of the Pasteur Institute experts,
informs the Matin that he intends to pro-
claim next August a method of curing
tuberculosis, which he has discovered
He says that the method involves the
use of neither serum nor vaccine, but
that it is preventive, as we'll as cura-
tive remedy. He will hold the secret
some time, as he did in the case of his
diphtheria serum
He will explain the method to Drs.
Roux and Mentchikoff and leave the ap-
plication of it to medical practitioners
without revealing the nature of the REM
sdy, because he thinks he has right
20 reserve temporarily the profits of the
discovery to enable him to prosecute
other researches.
Professor Behring added: From to-
day onward the victims of tuberculosis
may hope again"
The Nobel prize in medicine, the value
of which was $4,000, was awarded to
Professor Behring in 1901 for his meth
I'D of rendering cattle immune from tu-
berculosis by incubation.
In lecture delivered shortly afterward
in Stockholm, Behring said that he would
devote the prize money to further expert
nents in the same field In April of the
next year proof sheets of book by
Behring upon this method were given
out. The book gave the result of six
years of investigation and experiment.
In the following May the success of
MS serum treatment for diphtheria was
acted in the official statistics of Berlin,
where death rate of 1900 to 1000 was
tut down in 1901 to 400 by use of the
serum.
In March, 1908, he made public the
fact of the extension of his tuberculin
experiments to human beings and ex-
pressed the belief that they would be
successful
The delegates to the International Tu-
Derculosis Congress spent the day visit
ng sanatoriums in various districts. A
large party, including Casimir Pereir,
former president of France, accompanied
President Loubet to Montigny, in the
Department du Nord, where the Presi-
lent opened new sanatoriun.
The American delegates have met with
much encouragement in urging Washing
on as the place for holding the next
congress and entertain hopes of a ia
5orable decision.
