Warsaw is backward, it still remains
the great industrial and commercial
center of Poland. Its manufactures
are extensive. In the printing trade
alone there are over fifty book print
ing establishments. Leather, coal
and wheat are the leading commodi-
ties of trade, and Russia is the chief
consumer of these products The ar
tisans of the city are estim ated to
number $4,000 The superior courts
and there reside also the principal
dignitaries of the leading religious
faiths
While the head of the city admins
tration is a magistrate, over him al
ways stands a Russian general, who
virtually is the chief of police
The population of Warsaw is about
100000, of whom one-third are Jews.
There also are thousands of Germans
A Russian garrison of 10000 men
is kept in barracks to awe the people,
1t has a famous university, a noted
medical school and art and educa-
tional establishments of various
kinds, but a drawback to these insti-
tutions is that instruction generally
is given in Russian.
Warsaw is first mentioned in 1924
1t was the residence of the medieval
dukes of Masovia, and early in the
sixteenth century it superseded Cra-
Goa as the capital of the Polish king
dom. 1t was made a royal residence
in 1850.

One Cause of Appendicitis

not think that nicotine has any more
effect on the teeth than alcohol. But
tobacco certainly blackens the teeth,
and SO causes many persons who are
careful of their personal appearance
to brush their teeth more often than
they would otherwise do
He had found cod liver oil amazing

of teeth in children, and he recon-

Appendicitis is often due to bad
teeth. said DR.. E. S. Thompson, lectur-

dental decay was capable of causing
appendicitis.
Il see no evidence to show that our
teeth are deteriorating to an alarming
extent with the growth of civiliza-

pean cities. Massacre, fire and sword
are the principal words in its records.
Warsaw is beautifully situated on
the left bank of the Vistula on a ter
race that is 100 feet higher than the
navlgable river. 1t now is the capital
of the government of Warsaw, is 405
miles east of Berlin and $50 miles
southwest of St. Petersburg. The
city has two large suburbs, Praga and
New Praga, and is defended by
score of detached forts. 1t continues
to be the gay and active metropolis
of Poland, whose literature and arts
it dominates. The newer part of the
town is well built, but the older sec
ton contains quaint, ancient houses
and narrow, sinuous thoroughfares.
The center of life is the Palace
square, near the river and the ter
minal of the Alexander bridge, an
imposing structure that spans the
Vistula. Near by is Theater square,
with the town hall, the latter Ranked
by the fine Grand Theater, the prin-
cipal house of amusement in Warsaw
There are well-kept boulevards and a
number of gardens, and along the
river in Praga stretches the magnif1-
cent Alexander Park.
The city is rich in historical struc-
lures. All told, there are six Russian
and over thirty places of Roman
Catholic worship. The Roman Cath
Ollie Cathedral of st. John was found
ed in 1860, and a new Russian cathe-
dral has just been completed. The

that / could not control myself. But
such was my love for it that 1 could
not get my own consent to give it up
for some time, and continued to suffer,
till my father one day brought home a
package of Postum Food Coffee.
81 had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave 1t fair trial. 1t proved to have
rich flavor and made a healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink To
my taste the addition of cream great
ly improves it.
my health began to improve as
soon as the drug effect of the old cof-
fee was removed and the Postum COT
fee had time to make it's influence felt.
My nervous troubles were speedily re-
1ieved and the sleep which the old cof
fee drove from my pillow always came
to soothe and strengthen me after
had drunk Postum-in a very short
time 1 began to sleep better than l
had for years before. have now used

something like this: TWO years ago,

Malay girl in Port Said. She was a
bad one, drunk all the time, and one
night she cut my head open with bot
tie in my sleep. So then l left her.
Since 1 got religion 1 have tried to
look her up, but she disappeared from
Port Said five years ago, the same day
traveller was robbed of silver
watch and bag of gold. Now, l want
to do the right thing. Ought l to
leave my present wife and try to find
and reform the other one. Ought 1 to
confess to my present wife,?

but, under the circumstances, he had
best keep quiet and say nothing unless
his first wife turned up again.
