The world-renowned DR.. Haseldine
combines wonderful chemical focd
products for each individual case, pc
sides talking wisely on every great
truth under the sun.
Universal force and applied astron-
omy come in for their share.
A Vegetarian Luncheon.
A vegetarian luncheon enjoyed at
this remarkable university was an ex-
perience never to be forgotten. While
mysterious concoctions Of fruits and
vegetables with strange sauces were
set before us, subtle odors OF the
orient floated into the room.
Surely no where else on earth could
such an institution be found. 1t IL TO
be hoped that the university, now In
it's infancy, may become power In
the land Ii It does, 1t will include IN
its curriculum:
1. A study OF all the past revelations
to man. through history, the Bible,
and all secular and religious litera-
ture.
2. The conscious and sub-conscious
minds and their relations to each
other.
8. Psychic power, Its uses and
abuses.
4. Astral planes and forces as ap-
Piled TO the world of spirits.
8. The soul and spirit and their
separate powers and functions, with
their relation to the physical body.
6. Above all. lessons on the method
by which the individual can gain a
hold and control Of the kingdom OF
God within and use II as an unlimited
power and force for his own good UNI
selfshly and for the blessing OF man
kind.
What more can mortal ask?

Adolescence Of the Dollar.

The dollar took some rounding. Nor
did 1t formerly ring true, but. much
alive, simply gave bleat or below.
Cattle, among country folk, at one
time, constituted the dollar. while
primitive man generally made use of
any article sufficiently abundant for
the standard payment of all merchan-
disc.
Thus, in ancient Greece. a large
bronze tripod had the value OF dog.
en- oxen. A good, Woodworking wo-
man, on the other hand, was given In
exchange for only four such beasts.
When metal took the place OF money
the dollar chung to its traditions, and
coins were still called after live stock.
Thus 'pecunia." applied to metal
money, derived its origin from pc
Gus" tcattle)r From the custom OF
counting heads OF cattle came the
present designation of sum In cash
capital, or capita" (heads). ln
Sanscrit, roupe (herd, iock) made
ronpya, or the Indian, rupee. While
ingots or electrum, or ad-mixture OF
gold and silver. when first in use as
money. bore the impress OF an or
or COW.
Not clumsy, but too fragile. were
the shells I'm use as money by the
Negroes OF Africa, and throughout an
cient Asia. where the natives. taken
by It's beautyyga the shell money

tainly an interesting study to see the

valuable space should not be wasted

and all smokers knowing IL to be

do any harm--especially as he admit

ORDERED TO RETURN PROPERTY,
Municipal Traction Company Of cleve-
land Is Hit,

Cleveland, O., Oct. 24.-Secretary
Henry Davis of the Cleveland Railway
Company Friday made a demand upon
President A. B. Du Pont of the Mu-
nicipal Traction Company that the
railway property be turned over to the
Cleveland Railway Company imme-
diately. 49, ---E
President Du Pont replied, saying
he would do nothing until after meet
ing of the Municipal directors, which
will be held at once.
Cleveland, O.. Oct. 24.-The fran
chise under which the Municipal
Traction Company is operating the
local street railway lines on a three
cent fare basis, was defeated by q
majority of S79 in the referendum
vote here Thursday. The total vote
cast was upwards of $4,000
The defeat of the franchise may
mean that the railway property will
revert to its original owners and that
the old rate of fare strife which lasted
seven years will be renewed. The
only alternative will be for city coun-
Gil at once to grant new franchise
which will save the property to the
Municipal Traction Company.
