Advice to September Brides.

Oh. little maids who aim 10 wed
Your hearts love this September.
When the sweet gum is flaming red
And summer is euber
That gives one last expiring glow
one last faint flare ere going.
You're more than good and sweet and
fair.
You are extremely knowing.
You are indeed extremely wise.
For in the honeymooniug.
The hGgging time of married life.
The grooming and the spooning.
Is tho right time to tame Il man:
When all of life seems gilded
He viii insist the work Il his
When fires are to be builded.
II you had wed the brute i'm June
And you had lived together
With not "A fire to kiudlc all
The torrid summer weather
Fail time would find life's glamour
worn
And gallantry swift dwindling,
And with the coming Of chill dawnS
You'd have to split the kindling.
So wed the brute in fall dear girl.
And cold morns you'll be finding
Him climbing out To start the fire
And never. never minding.
The girl who wedS in June in fall
A supercilious brute sees;
The man who's wed in fan don't kick
At wifie's trapped tootsies.
So choose your man and run him down
And wed him In September.
When all the world is blushing red
And summers just an ember.
So will you have him nicely trained
Before next winters inning.
Your happiness in married life
Depends on its beginning.

WHY FUNSTON QUIT CUBANS
Because They Violated White Flag,
Says Generals Friend.

SayS
There is considerable interest at
Washington in General Funston's trip
to Cuba. says special dispatch tc the
New York Times. While in Washing
ton Funston frankly admitted that he
was not popular with many of the Gu
bans. and there have been all sorts of
stories as TO why. Word has come
from Havana that some of the insur-
gents there have accused him of de-
sorting the Cuban insurgents in their
last war with Spain. 1t was this ac-
cusation which recently moved friend
of General Funston to tell the zeal
story of how he came TO leave the Gu
ban service. in which he had fought
for nearly two years.
At the fight at Las Tunas. which was
the most severe of the instruction,
Funston commanded u battery of artil-
lery which included a dynamite gun.
The battle lasted for fifty-one hours
and ended i'll the defeat of the Span
iards. Immediately after it Funston
left the Cubans and surrendered to the
Spaniards. by whom he was turned
over to General Lee. consul general at
Havana.
According to the story, Funston quit
the Cubans because he saw them de-
liberately violate the white flag and
butcher Spanish officer and forty
six men. 1t was just at the close or
the battle that little white flag was
raised over one of the Spanish block
houses. and the officer in command left
Ii to parley with the Cubans.
The Cuban who commanded the In
surgents operating against the block
house went forward TO meet the Span
lard. The SpaDiard was alone, but the
Cuban officer took one man, a negro.
with him. AS the two officers met the
Cuban turned away and gave sign to
the negro. who chopped the Spaniard
to pieces then and there with his ma
chete. Soon afterward the blockhouse
surrendered, and the Cubans, in order
to conceal the butchery of the Spanish
officer, had the entire garrison of forty
six men chopped down with machetes.
Funston saw it, but was powerless to
prevent the massacre. 1t sickened him
of service with the Cubans, however.
and he never gave another stroke In
their behalf.

portrait of the author as a frontiSpiece.
1t is from the first photograph Miss
Corelli ever had taken. except one by
an amateur photographer Speaking
of its publication in the book. she says:
Il am somewhat reluctant to see it
so placed, because it has nothing what
ever to do with the story which is told
in the following pages beyond being
faithful likeness of the author who is
responsible for this and many other
previous books Which have had the
good fortune to meet with friendly
reception from the reading public.
Moreover | am not quite able to con-
vince myself that my pictured person
allty can have any interest for my
readers. as it has always seemed to
me that all authors real being is more
disclosed in his or her work than i'll
any portrayed presentment of mere
phySiOgnomy.
But owing to the fact that various
gross. and | think l may say libelous.
fictitious misrepresentation of me have
been freely and unwarrantelly circu-
lated throughout Great Britain. the col
onies and America by certain lower
sections of the pictorial press. which.
with a zeal worthy Of ii better and
kinder cause. have striven by this
means to ALLEVIATE my readers from me.
it appears to my publishers advisable
that an authentic likeness of myself as

A MOSQUE IN LONDON.
English MOhamm edans to Erect q
Costly Place of Worship.

English Mohammedans are to have
mosque In London. says the New York
American and Journal. Plans for the
edifice are already drawn. and the
$500 900 necessary for building it Is in
hand, but the final selection of site
has not been made. 1t will be in the
west or southwest of London. and
Bayswater and South Kensington are
spoken of as probable neighborhoods.
The Mohammedans in London num-
Der about 5000, and they constitute In
proportion to their size the richest re-
ligious community in the metropolis.
The Islamic celebrations which the
public have been privileged to see
have been as remarkable for the fash
iOnable dress OF the ceIebrants as for
the novelty OF the ceremonies them
selves.
The new mosque, which is designed
by w. J. Chambers, who also prepared
the plans for the Working mosque, is to
be an edifice of luXuriant domes and
exquisitely fashioned minarets. The
architects desire is that the building
should be of pure white, with the
domes gilded. Other interested persons
prefer that it should be green, the color
of Islam, and it is likely that compro-
mise of white Carrara marble alter
mated with green will be the outcome
OF the official deliberations.
One of the most essential things in
building a mosque is that the principal
interior wall facing those who pray
should be in the direction of Mecca.
The latter feature was considered SO
important in the building of the Wo-
king mosque that a captain of an India
liner was called in especially to take
the bearings

500, 600 Babies
Are Sacrificed
State Official Declares Adulterated
Foods an Appalling Menace.

At recent meeting of the executive
committee of the National Association
of State Dairy and Food Departments.
the secretary of a state board made
the assertion. and produced figures to
prove it. that the death of nearly half
million little children in America
last year was due to poisons admins
tered in impure foods.
Welcome, indeed. is a food that is
known to be pure and wholesome, rich
in nutrition and good TO eat,-so good
that no other food can take it's place.
We refer to Malta-Vita, that delicious
crisp whoIe-wheat food. Among all
the cereal foods we believe Malta-Vita
is the only food that is simply and
wholly pure grain product and nothing
else, except a little salt. 1t is free
from any foreign sweetening agent or
other adulterant, and is made i'm alb
solute cleanliness
A perfect breakfast is impossible
without Malta-Vita. and it's just as
good three times a day. Containing
every food element of the best white
wheat and pure barley malt extract, it
is intensely vitalizing and easily di
gested. Let your children have all the
Malta-Vita they want and you need not
fear for their health. Try some your
self with cream or fruit. You never
tasted anything quite so good. All

Wounds. Bruises and Burns.

BY applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises, burns and like in
!uries before inflammation sets in, they
may be healed without maturation and
in about one-third the time required
for the old treatment. This is the
greatest discovery and triumph OF
modern surgery. Chamberlain Pain
Balm acts on this same principle. 1t
is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to heal
very quickly. 1t also allays the pain
and soreness and prevents any danger
of blood poisoning. Keep bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to men,
ton the inconvenience and suffering
such injuries entail. For sale by all
leading druggists.
