You can secure ALL the benefits of cod liver oil without having to endure the various distresses which accompany the taking of the plain oil. The dis agreeable mouth rolling, the constant "taste of fish" in the mouth, thelrising of gas in the throat and the upsetting of the stomach which are caused by taking cod liver oil plain are all en- tirely unnecessary.

The Belief Of Negroes in Voodoo.
From "Voodoo," by Marvin Dana
in the August Metropolitan Mag
azine
A well-educated and clever negro
in Philadelphia related, with obvi-
GUS sincerity, and experience of his
own with a famous voodoo doctor"
of that city who has grown rich
from his wizardry.
Once a person had a writ out
against me-" this negro said. The
constable had it. The magistrate
was set against me. l went and
got charm from the doctor |
met my enemy, but / was not seen.
l met the constable, and he walked
by and never noticed me. The
magistrate did what he had never
done before forgot all about it.
The voodoo stopped it all"
This same negro related another
incident of his experience.
Once was nearly killed by a
voodOo black cat, which used to
come into the house. | threw a
stick and hit it. 1t tormented me.
l was ridden in dreams like a horse.
| suffered terribly. | was dying. !
went to the voodoo doctor l paid
him five dollars for a spell. That
night l awoke. The window was
open; the moon was shining. l saw
the little black witch lowering up
and down there. She was smaller
than in her own body. She wore
a very big, old-fashioned bonnet.
Her face was like that of the cat.
But she did not come any closer to
me. Then she faded away. That
ended it."
The belief is prevalent among
the negroes that witches have pow
er to assume the forms of various
animals. In South Carolina a
means employed to guard against
such visitation is to scatter rice or
similar small grains thickly over
the floor in the form a cross. Be-
fore the witch can approach her
victim she must devour every
grain. This is too tedious for heI
patience and she takes herself
off.
