Good Example of Doctor and Patients


A true story is told of a San Fran
cisco woman and doctor with con-
science. The doctor performed
successful operation for rich wom-
an, and when asked for his bill pre-
sented one for $50. The lady smiled
and said: "Do you consider that a
reasonable charge, considering my
circumstances? The doctor replied:
"That is my charge for that opera
ton; your circumstances have moth
ing to do with it," The lady drew
check for $500 and presented it to
him. He handed it back, saying
II cannot accept this. My charge for
that operation is $50" Every we'll"
the lady replied. Keep the check
and put the balance to my credit
Some months after she received a
long itemized bill, upon which were
entered charges for treatment of
various kinds, rendered to all sorts
of odds and ends of humanity, male
and female, black and white, who
had been mended at her expense.
She was so delighted at it that she

a carriage to the home of Mrs. Car
men Simonson, in which yard he
washed his hands shortly after the
murder.

sons home SO that she could identify
him as the youth on whose hands she
saw blood stains. In his confession
Becker described in detail how he
first struck the child with stone,
and then, with the knife she had
used in digging dandelions, stabbed
her in the neck.

A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien- lists and the opponents of unbelief benefited themselves or humanity at large by sowing the seeds of doubt broadcast In the world? The real sci entists do not fall in this category, for they are believers in the real sense of the word: they know too much, they have seen too many mysterious mani. festations of the Divine creative pow CT. Now, those who have disposed of the Bible and all evidences of inspira- ton. have written a great many books and some of them have won what the world at large lightly calls fame. Ac- eording to the ordinary measures that are applied In such cases, they have been extremely successful, but real success means the benefit of human ity in some form or other If no such
 benefits can be shown as the result of their labors, their success Is not equal to that achieved by the direst poverty and the deepest ignorance. Joel Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine

Make me up package of tobacco according to the formula used by Ed. win Booth,' said the man with a southern accent. That is the third man who has asked for that kind of tobacco today" said the dealer. Tt Is strange that people from remote parts of the country as we'll as New Workers make a fad of buying the same brand of tobacco that Booth smoked And it isn't always the Booth mixture that they want. l have filed away the formulas for mixing the fayorite tobacco of many famous per sons. Smokers the country over have heard of this collection of recipes and one feature of every mans trip to New York is to try a pipeful of some big mans favorite tobacco. In most cases this special mixture is so strong that the nerves of the average smoker cannot stand it. He has to give up after few pipefuls and go back to popular mixture. but he has the satisfaction of having had the ex. perience. .'-The New York Sun.

 Thousands of visitors go thru our entire works each month and see for themselves that Grape Nuts contains absolutely nothing but wheat, barley and little salt: Postum absolutely nothing but wheat and about ten per cent of New Orleans Molasses.

You have probably read or heard that the best way to rid house of rats is to catch one and fasten bell about its neck. A boy In Delaware tried the experiment two months ago. He was badly bitten in making the bell fast but he turned the rat loose and expected the tinkling of that bell would have great results. It did have. In the first place, the rat who wore 1t was constantly on the move all night, and the unkling bell kept the family awake, and in the next the sounds brought scores of new rats to the house. Instead of being afraid of the bell, they were charmed with the mu- sic. Had the boy tied harmonica to another rats tail. the rodents would have had dance every night
