London.-A noted Harley str eet
physician bids fair TO become the
most popular physician in London,

sexes and among the dentists. Every

pound of sweets daily is his dictum.
Nothing" he says, lis more

four ounces of chocolate without feel
ing the slightest fatigue. II had my
way every soldier in the British army

A starnge, sad story is the story

know It, Thirty years ago when a

heat OF anger he ran away from his
home at Tecumseh.

home, made no effort to find the boy.
and would permit no one else to do
so.
The days lengthoned into weeks,
the weeks into months and the
months into years and young John
Wilson did not return to his home.
Ills father loved him and longed for
his return, and his mother was well
nigh heartbroken over his absence,
bit the fathers longing and the mo-
TIERS grief were futile.
Twenty-Five years went by and no
word had come TO the parents concern
ing their absent son, now grown to
manhood If he were living They
were grown old and before they went
to their final rest they felt that they
must once more look into his face.
A man whom they suspected might
be their son was in Dawson City
Alaska Despite the fact that they
were so years Of age the parents SET
out for there hoping against hope that
they might find the son whom they sc
longed to see. They made the journey
to Alaska safely. but found no trace
Of their son there and returned tc
their home with broken hearts. With
in few months the father died and
soon afterward the mother followed
him to tho grave.
Seven years ago the aged couple
made a will in which a large part of
their estate was bequeathed to their
absent son on condition that he re-
turned to Tecumseh within ten years
to claim IL. In the seven years that
have elapsed since the will was drawn
the sons part of the estate has in.
creased until it IL now estimated at
$4,000. 1t will be held for him three
years longer. If he shall not return
TO bis old home meantime the will
provides that the bequest shall be di.
Vided among the other heirs or the
dead man and woman.
The other heirs have sought to have
the will set aside and to secure dl.
visien of that part of the estate left
to the son. but the supreme court has
held that the will must staad aud that
the $50 .0e0 must be held for the son
three years longer.
Where young Wilson has been in
the 30 years OF his absence from his
old home nobody la Tecumseh knows.
He may be dead; he may be in Alaska
or the Philippines.
His long absence and their disap-
pointmsnt at their failure to find him
in Alaska shortened the lives of his
parents, who were old residents OF
Tecumseh and very highly respected

What a Mans Beard Tells.

and read some of his traits OF charac-
ter from his beard" said the old bar
Der. IF man spends his days Mt a
desk beside n window his hair and
beard will grow faster OH the side to-
ward the window. Plants and boards
both flourish under the influence OF
sunlight. Why, one of my customers
found the effects of the side light SO
pronounced that he changed his Office
desk to face the window. Another in
teresting fact Is that. when a man is
up late or works long hours, be needs
a shave oftener than II he took the
usual amount OF sleep. That's because
in being awake he keeps the vital proc
esses of his body in greater activity
than when asleep. The growth of the
hair depends largely on the circulation
of the blood, and the heart slows down
when we sleep."-Kansas City Star.
