WAS BOUND TO PAY PHYSICIAN.
Fee Was Small But Carried with II
Child's Gratitude.

Carrying a pet spaniel in his arms.
S-year-oid Alexander Wilson walked
into the accident room OF the Samar-
ltan hospital and said appealingly to
DR.. Raiman, says the Philadelphia
inquirer:
Won't you mend my dogs leg?
He was run over by big wagon on
the street.
DR.. Raiman tried to tell the child
that the institution was not veteri-
nary hospital, but the child pleaded
so hard that the physician consented
to operate on the injured animal. He
found that Jessie so the boy called
his pet, had sustained a fracture Of
the left hind leg. The injured limb
was soon set and done up in splints.
When the operation was over,
Alexander began to search his peck
cts and finally produced a five-cent
piece, all his available earthly wealth.
He g>ayely presented it to Or. Raj
man. The physician told him to put
it back in his pocket. The boy in
sisted, but finally obeyed the doctor
AS soon as the accident room door
closed behind him Alexander took the
nickel from his pocket, rolled 1t
through the crack under the door into
the room and ran away.
The physician is thinking of having
a watch charm made of the nickel
piece, so that in after years he can
exhibit it when he tells the story OF
his first fee.

me to discharge my duties properly.

Get RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable II to
Do It's Work

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter-
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hoe
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish Just as soon as the stomach Is
made strong enough to digest the food
In other words, it needs tonic that viii
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.

the market just now. Chop up the
stalks in pieces an inch and half in
length, boil them in water until soft,
then drink the water. Or stew them
in milk and butter, thicken with lit
tie flour and eat warm with toast or
potatoes. Rheumatism is impossible,
it is said, if the vegetables be cooked
and freely eaten. Besides, there is no
greater delicacy than stewed celery
The value of the plant lies in the aplol,
