SHAME ON you.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye

Nobody wants me. My father has
gone away long ago, and mother left
me in the street the other day. Mother,
she wants to go back to Europe"
Thus said Willie Peterson, cripple.
Taking a hitch In the leather strap
which bound some clumsy braces to
his poor misshapen limbs, the boy told
his story to the secretary of the HUI
name society at New York.
Man, woman, boy, girl, if you have
troubles of your own, read the story.
Crippled by ignorance, nearly
starved, deserted by his parents,
turned adrift IN the streets, the lad was
as lively as d morning robin.
Willie Peterson fell out of bed when
he was a baby, injuring his legs. I'm
properly attended, he was made q life
cripple. This is how he faced his fate
Il can walk all right" he said, tax
ing hold of the braces with which he
has learned to hold himself up. 1T
hurts some, but it doesn't keep me
from walking. I can get upstairs,
BUT 1 HAVE TO WALK ON MY
HANDS AND KNEES THEN"
Poor battered midget,
And YOU. You can so upstairs in
three bounds, yet you whine to your
self about your petty handicaps and
sniff1e over your troubles
Does not the brave and CHEEKY spirit
of this MANNED, half starved, deserted,
but dauntiess cripple shame you into
silence? In the face of his fortitude
either keep still or pay the penalty of
losing your self respect.
Who are you, whole and healthful,
that you should vex the Providence
of Willie Peterson with cowardly
cries?
You may be amazed and shocked at
the revelation of selflshness and cal
lousness in the heart Of his pervert
mother. How could she bring herself
to abandon brave little son like Willie
Peterson, son crippled and half or
phaned? Lis pitiful lameness ought
TO have made him all the dearer
And
| You may wonder and speculate and
be unable to explain by what mystic
rious way the strong and lovely flower
of fortitude ever could have grown II
the poor soil OF degeneracy
But-there's the boy
| And you are stung into shame o.
yourself by the soul Of this dauntlss'
younGzters OF the city. streets.

State Coal Mine Inspector Young of
Wyoming has recommended to the gov
ernor of that state, that the Hanna
mine at Cheyenne be sealed forever

The inspector says the management

lection of underground workmen.

many congratulations on what was re-
garded by the republicans as an aus

the other hand, Chairman Mack was
delighted to know that the democrats
had more than held their own in the

iety and nervousness around the TAFT
headquarters. For the last fifty years,
with two exceptions, the normal re-

about rs, 900. On those two exceptional

WE MUST EAT SLOWLY
Says This Is the Best Rule
to Follow to Avoid
Dyspepsia.

There are two good. reasons why
rapid eating causes more dyspepsia
than anything else said noted au-
thority. I'm the first place. rapidly
swallowed food is not thoroughly
chewed. 1t goes into the stomach be-
fore 1t has been broken up and per-
meated by the saliva of the mouth;
too often 1t is washed down with ice
water. The other reason is that
man who eats in a hurry usually
rushes bak to work. He puts his
energy into his work. and draws his
blood to his muscles or his brain, at a
time when 1t is needed in his stomach.
The best rule to follow is to "eat
and rest for a while after your meal"
Dyspepsia is easily avoided but diff
ult to cure. Instead of dosing with
| pepsin. in an Intellectual attempt to
! lock the stable after the horse is stol-
en-. the best practitioners nowadays
prefer to administer some good aka
line elixir or neutralizing cordial to
stimulate the gastric juices and put
an immediate check on fermentation.
The following formula has been sug-
gested as making an effective antacid
and neutralizing corrective: Halt
ounce sodium phosphate. l ounce es-
sence Of sealmint. half teaspoonful
| good baking soda, enough water te
make s ounces. Dose: Two teaspoons
full before each meal
The sodium phosphate especiallJ
has a distinct value in eliminating
wastes before each meal.
1t is said that this simple mixture
lit can be mixed at home or obtained
from any druggist-will relieve ga
Immediately, and that it will perma
nently cure long standing cases Of in
digestion within two or three weeks.
