THE MYSTIC NUMBER
CURIOUS PROPERTIES OF "NINE"
IN ARITHMETIC.
The Great Plato Once Got Rid of Bore
by Giving Him Puzzle in Which This
Popularity Figured-see If You Can
Solve It,

Most people are acquainted with
some of the curious properties of the
number nine in ordinary arithmetic
For example, write down a number
containing as many figures as you like,
add these figures together and deduct
the sum from the first number. Now,
the sum of the figures in this new
number will always be a multiple of
nine.
There was once a worthy man at
Athens who was not only a cranky
arithmetician, but also a mystic. He
was deeply convinced Of the magic
properties of the number nine, and
was perpetually strolling out to the
groves of Academia to bother poor old
Plato with his nonsensical ideas about
what he called his lucky number"
But Plato devised a way of getting
rid of him. When the seer one day
proposed to inf1ict on him a lengthy
disquisition on his favorite topic, the
philosopher cut him short with the
remark, Look here, old chappie"

Plato then showed, in the manner
depicted in our Illustration, that three
mines may be arranged so as to repre-
sent the number eleven, by putting
them into the form of fraction. The
puzzle he then propounded was, to so
arrange the three mines that they will
represent the number twenty

after working hard at the problem for

nine minutes. 1t will be remembered
that nine was his lucky number. 1t
was evidently also Platos.
In solving the above little puzzle,
only the most elementary arithmetical
signs are necessary. Though the an
swer is absurdly simple when you see
it, many readers will have no little
difficulty in discovering it. Take your
pencil and see if you can arrange the
three mines to represent twenty.

SUMMER CATARRH
Disease Prevalent Now, but Can be
Quickly Cured with HyOmei.

Disease Prevalent Now, but Can be
Quickly Cured with HyOmei.
A greatly many people suffer
more with catarrh during the
summer months than at any
other season OF the year, the
hot, dry weather seeming to
have bad effect upon the dis
ease.
When the usual method of
treating catarrh has been used
in vain. the guarantee of Wood
Bros, that they would refund
money if Hyomei failed to cure
catarrh, has induced many suf-
ferers to use this remedy and
be freed from all catarrhal
troubles. Some of the cures
made by Hyomei seem marvel
Gus when one remembers thdt
the patients had suffered from
catarrh since childhood and
that for years they had been
unable to get a good night S
sleep, on occount of the disa
greeable tickling and dropping
at the back of the throat caus-
ed by this offensive disease. A
few days treatment with Hyo-
mel brought quick reliet, and
its continued use made a com.
plete and lasting cure.
The complete outfit costs but
$500, extra bottles so cents.
Compare this small expense
with the fees charged by spec
ialists and remember that if
Hyomei does not cure, Wood
Bros, will return your money.
