IO5 Years Old.

That's Barnet Wolinsky's correct age, and he certainly is a spry old gentleman. He likes to sit and chat with anyone who may favor him with a call. When asked by news paper man to give his opinion as to what he thought was the best way to live so as to attain good old age, his answer was, he had no theories for long living. He says he always lived a simple life. But he says he can (and does at times) drink thirty cups of nicely breWed tea per day, and he says it has never hurt him Tn the least, but he thinks if a person cannot drink intoxicants sparingly they should cut booze out entirely. And We think Wolinsky is right. for the simple reason that tea, yes, or coffee, will never hurt anyone. But you occasionally hear a doctor tell his patient to "cut out drinking tea or coffee, but nine times out Of ten he doesn't "cut it out" himself. No, no: he knows what good thing IS, and he sticks to it, but if he is get ting $2 for his call he must tell you something and he naturally pitches onto something that he thinks will hoodwink you. But don't you let him prescribe for you, that is provid- ing you are drinking the kind we sell, because our quality is the O. K, kind and will act as a tonic, provid- ing you make it right, and all our regular customers know just how to make it. Now, if you are not drink ing the good, n;ce tasting quality, just call and make purchase at

From time to time she exposed in some

that all this took place in 1882, when globe

before this expedition, she joined forces with
others and went with two companions, an
English occultist and Hindu adept in oc-

after their arrival in India, in the complete
inharmony which always followed Madam
Blavatsky's attempt at cooperation. She

during which she always said she was making
a F." Himalayan retreat and laying the foun-

1888 when she returned to Russia the world

versions, the story of her eccentric wander
ings and strange powers began to be known
For ten or twelve years she lived with
various members of her family in Russia
and in the Caucasus Mountains. During
this time her remarkable powers as me-
dunn showed themselves more and more
clearly. No disinterested person, reading
of the psychic phenomena which took place
about her, can doubt that she had strange
powers in this direction, any more than he
can doubt the intense delight she took in
exercising them to the mystifcation of her
observers, passion which grew upon her
