How to Stop Drinking

It was formerly customary for the habitual drinker to take the pledge regularly, sometimes once a year and sometimes in every fit of remorse that followed his debauches, and then Break it.
 But now it is gradually dawning on the world that pledges do not stop drunkenness. The nervous system of the habitual drinker is diseased and he must have treatment that will cure this condition. Orrine Is sold under a positive guarantee to cure the drink habit or the money will be refunded. Can be given secretly.

STORY OF DIR. M'cOsH.
Former Princeton President Played
 Joke on Matthew Arnold.

Joke on hattheW- ArnOtu.
 Princeton. N. j.. May e-tspeciai .l-- It is a frequent comment among those familiar with the personnel of the fac uittes of our larger universities that the picturesque characters who could ba found in academic circles a decade or two ago have disappeared and have left no successors. There are no characters" today in the faculties. The modern college professor IS much younger man than his predeces- sor and looks more like an ordinary citizen than the traditional spectacled pedaEogue.
 This change of type In university faculties is well illustrated in their presidents. To name but three of the new school of college executives, Pres ident Butler of Columbia. President Hadley of Yale. and President Wilson of Princeton are decidedly not tradt- tional in either appearance or charac- terIstics. The undergraduate of today will have no stock of stories of class room experiences such as the graduate of the eighties tells his younger fel- low alumni at the university clubs.
 Princetonians. for example, who have been out of college ten Or fifteen years. seldom get together without an e1' change of "reminiscences about the alarm clocks perenniaIly set or in one Qr the vivid language often used by late professor of French and German who had acquired an emphatic vocaou. lary as a cavalry officer fin the CVu War: and it Is almost certainty that sooner or later an Instance of Fresl- dent McCosh's pungent humor ana di- rectness of speech will be related such as the following which was re- gently recalled.
 When Matthew Arnold visited Princeton on his featuring tour pr !. McCosh particularly desired to nave him attend morning chapel anu gee how a Princeton undergraduate daE began. Accordingly he haled MT Arn- old to chapel the next morning. un- fortunately however. he had not con sidered what member of the facultN was scheduled to preside at the eNer' cises, and. as 1t happened. the omclat- ing professor that morning was the very last one likely to make pleas ing impression on a critical vtsitor. |. pr. McCosh, as usual rose to the oc- casion, Thrustng Mir. Arnold into a new with the remark yell sit there! he strode down the aisle and up to lh" pulpit where the professor was ner- vously waiting. Then in reverOer> atfnE stage whisper heard all over the chapel the good doctor said. with unmistakable emphasis: We have MT Arnold here this morning Yell DICK a lively hymn--and pray short' And he strode back totally unconscious or the discontinue of his colleague and the gIee of the undergraduates. MT Arnold's face was expressionless.

He Has All Walters Searched For

 Constantinople. May 2.--The Sultan has greatly offended all, the foreign ambassadors to Turkey by ordering that their friends and acquaintances who are admitted to the terrace of the palace to view the procession of the "Selamlik" on Fridays must submit to a formal search and examination to make sure that they do not carry bombs or internal machines which might blow out Abdul Hamid's flick crinS life light.
 Naturally this suggestion of the ambassadors having among their friends anarchists or other dangerous criminals has been deeply resented by the diplomatic representatives and they have informed His Majesty that they will not recommend anybody to take advantage of the invitation to see him from the palace grounds.

prerfun Heart nroken.

It is said that Major Alfred Drey- fus, heart broken over the coidness of his old friends, notably of General Pic quart and Monsieur Clemenceau, has decided to leave Paris and make his home either in Italy or Switzerland
 He complains that the politicians who used his celebrated ease" as O means of getting into power have giv- en him the cold shoulder on every great public occasion. He has not been asked to take part in the cera- mony of the installation of the re" mains of Emile Zola. author of "J'ac- cuse." in the Panthenon, He was not eyun present at Suresnes when the bust of Zola--made out of the bells of one of the churches demolished under the new law, was inaugurated with speeches. songs and dances by young ballet girls.
 The chief complaint of Major Drey- fus Is that his career in the army was broken. While Picquart, Farge and other officers who owed their reputa- tion to the Dreyfus case were made generals. he was kept back and given insignificant commands Indeed. he felt that his chance of advancement was so slight that he reluctantly left the army.
 Major Dreyfus has spoken feelinglv to his friends of the downfall of his military ambitions and the isolation in which he lives. None of them would be surprised should they learn he had removed to country where warm welcome awaits him.

The Insnne of Paris.

Dr. Navarro has just drawn up his official report of the number of insane in Paris. One fact is remarkable: over 15,0o0 people more or less mad are walking about the streets without restraint or surveillance.
 Last year 4.016 people were received in various madhouses. Of this number l,2S5 went in of their own free will at least so Dr. Navarro states. All the others were receivec at the Sainte- Anne Asylum in the regular way. on an average sixty-five escape Cor com init suicide) every year.
 Those who are left free to wander about the city are mainly demi-luna tics. In 1907 exactly 14,3i4 of them presented themselves at 1he clinic of the Asylum for gratutitous treatment Seven thousand of them are diagnosed as neurotics. And the cause of their mental downfall In the great major ity of cases was alcoholism or ab- ainthism. And all these maniacs. whether they are neurotics or melan- choIiacs, wander as they please through the streets of Paris. Dr. Ma varre suggests no remedy. He says it would cost too much to keep them fin confinement.

VANDERBILT BEFORE COURT French Judge Gives Him
 Lecture. SAYS MONEY DOESN'T COUNT When French Laws are Violated
 He Must Pay. New York Millionaire Treated Like Common Prisoner When He h
 Arrested on Complaint
 of vnlagerr,
AIS MONEY DOESN'T COUNT
BY HENRI DUBOIS.

Paris. May 2.-W. K. Vanderbilt, the American millionaire, has found out to his surprise. that to the French court of justice his millions would make no difference whatever. The other day he was arraigned in police court with no more ceremony than if he had been the social equal of two tramps and a pickpocket who were examined In the same sitting.
 Mir. Vanderbilt, who, for many years, has been maintaining an expensive training stable for his race horses at Cresillows, in the commune Of Car rferes-sous-Poissy, and recently. when wanting to enlarge his grounds. ne asked the Mayor of the village to be permitted to fence in part of the Vh- Iage commons, and public roads.
 The Mayor and villagers. who bere- nit by the presence of the millionaire's establishment, were not unwilling to grant the request, but there was much red-tape to get rid of. and MT. Vander- biIt, who did not like to walt. did as he would have done in AInerica--he took what he wanted and waited for the permission to come afterwards
 Here is where he counted without the nrfde of the French villagers. who never allow anyone and, least or all, a foreigner, to ride over them rough- shod Mr. Vanderbilt offered to pay for what he had taken, but the Mayor. roaded by the villagers. ordered him to take down the fences and wait Tor the official permission before puttihg them up again.
 The American laughingly declared this impossible, and before an hour had passed, he received a visit from the village constable in full war paint or cooked hat and tFf-color scarf. who handed him a subpoena to appear Tn the police court.
 There was nothing for Mr. wander. hflf to do but to appear tn person. ana this he did. driving up in big auto. accompanied by lawyer. In court he was ordered to wait until two trarnps had been disposed of and with an expression of disgust. he sat doWn.
 After waiting about fifteen mlnutes, he was called to the bar and his law yer explained that MT. Nanderpiit was willing to pay for what he had taken. The court listened in stern silence ana then gave the millionaire a severe lec- fure.
 s,ssThis is not a question or money the judge said, and the sooner you understand that in France at least you cannot break the law to suit your con venience and settle with siniie anu . . sunn of money. You have stolen from 4ba neople of this community certain public roads and lands. and you Will have to give them back. This shows contempt of our laws which this court cannot countenance; you are there- fore. ordered to tear down your walls and fences immediately or find your self in contempt of court. You are. Furthermore. ordered to pay hne or IS francs"
 MT. Vanderbilt paid his fine, and rave orders to have the fences torn down, we'll knowing that he would never get permission to put them up again.

FEELS WELL
YET DYING

Many a man believing he Is well
has gone to an insurance company
only to be told by the examining ply
stefan to put his affairs in order as
he has only few months to live due
to advanced kidney disease. Thus,
many people do not even know they
have kidney trouble.
If you know 1t you have had notice
No matter how well you feel or look
II you have kidney trouble don't feed
it with delay. AS above, it may be al
ready chronic. Hence, the necessity
for taking at the start the only thing
known that reaches 1t in both the first
and chronic forms. There is one sue
cessful treatment and we sent for 1t.
The census shows that $4,000 deaths
the last census year were from a dis
ease of the kidneys that was absolute
ly incurable up to the discovery Of
this treatment. 1t also shows that
over nine-tenths of all the census ca
SEES, sooner or later, assumed this one
form How under the sun then can
people who have kidney trouble af-
ford to take anything but the only
known specific for the serious forms?
If you have kidney trouble start
right. We will give you full informa-
ton.

Letter TO George r. Mathers
Bennington VI

Dear Sir: How two men differ!
n. Avery Delhi, N. Y, had two houses
painted two ways; the houses alike,
same painter, different paints. One
paint gallons; the other 10.
A dealer there who was selling the
y gallon paint, threw II out and put
in the G gallon paint.
DO you see why? The less gallons
paint cost less for the Job by six gal
Ions Of paint and six days labor;
Sl0.75 for paint and S12 TO S24 for la-
Dor according to painters wages So
to 81 a day.
A dealer in paint at Malone, NJ Y,
was selling this gallon paint for 15c
less a gallon, and took it! To make
that extra l5c a gallon, he saddles q
loss OF S22.75 TO S34.75 q job on his
customers. What if they find it out?
The people had better look out for
that $22.75 or S34.75 whichever It is
we don't know what painters day
wages are there.
The two paints are Devoe and an
other sold at the same price by the
gallon. VIII you figure out that IL
gallon paint; what a man can afford
10 pay a gallon for It?
The answer is (if you figure ii
right taking wages 50 a day; a man
could afford to put on that paint If
somebody pays him 12i9c a gallon
and, taking wages 81 a day, he must
get Sl.2l a gallon.
Yours truly,
