Says This is Very Good.

To relieve the worst forms of
Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful of
the following mixture after each meal
and at bedtime.
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists,
and are easily mixed by shaking them
well in a bottle. Relief is generally
felt from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogg-
ed-up. inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poisonous
waste matter and uric acid, which
causes Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease,
but dangerous to life, this simple re-
ceipt will no doubt be greatly valued
by many sufferers here at home, who
should at once prepare the mixture
to get this relief.
1t Is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose or two daily, or even few times
q week, would never have serious
Kidney or Urinary disorders or Rheu-
fnatism.
Cut this out and preserve 1t. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
ly relieve are scarce, indeed, and
when you need 1t, you want it badly.

Bats In a Bedroom.

An army Of bats invaded the bed
room Of a rectory In Dorsetshire. and
from every part Of the room they
could be heard plunging against mir
rors and glasses, knocking against the
ceiling, while too often to be pleasant
one would hit against the head of the
bed. The rector struck a match and
Lit candle. This served to attract
the creatures nearer to that particu-
lar part Of the room In which the bed
was placed. Then the reverend gen.
tleman placed the candle near an open
window, only to find that other bats
began to come In, SO that 1t was i'm
possible to count how many there
were In the room. Another plan was
tried. All the curtains were drawn
aside and the east window opened
wide. The light was put out, and the
visitors gradually dispersed.-London

1t is on record that Lord Denman

prietors Of a silk and cotton lace man

as "proprietors Of a silk and Of a cot
ton lace mandatory" 1t having been
ascertained that they made both silk
and cotton lace.
In 1927 judge quashed an inquisi-
ton for murder because 1t was refer
red to the jurors as ION their oaths"
instead of ION their OATH"
In yet another case the judge held
that the omission Of the word "ewe''
was sufficient to invalidate a convic-
ton because the word "ewe" as well
as "sheep" was used in the statute.
In 1S41 Lord Cardigan was indicted
for firing on Captain Tucket In a duel.
He was acquitted because the cap
tain's Christian names were wrongly
entered In the indictment.
In another case about the same pc
Rod legal document was invalidated
because the letters A. d. were used
instead Of the words "In the year of
our Lord. "-Westminster Review.

London Foo.


A London fog brings out hundreds of
thieves, but 1t also brings out men who
are wanted by the police. A detective
told a representative Of the press
about two curious instances Of thieves
being caught in this way:
We had been on the lookout for
weeks for swindler who had stolen
bonds In his possession. The inspector
who had the warrant at last declared
that the man must have got out Of the
country. But one densely foggy night
the inspector happened to be in quiet
street not far from Bedford square,
when a stranger, against whom he
nearly ran, said:
'Can you tell me precisely where
am? I've got mixed up somehow"
follow me and I'll show you," said
the officer And he did show him-to
the police station, for the man was the
very one he had been looking for.
In another case sergeant, In one of
the thickest fogs ever known, politely
helped lady In distress near the Ken
sington road. The lady couldn't even
recognize her own house among sew
eral all alike, and the sergeant, on her
behalf, knocked at a door and was an
swered by man.
The lady did not live there, but an
hour or two afterward l arrested the
man who had come to the door. He
was a German baker, the head Of a
large firm, and we had been seeking
him for months.

Literary Press.
BY CHARLES GRAVES.

A food of golden morning sunshine
streaming through the windows and
falling full upon his face awakened
Tom GoOdhue. 1t awakened him with
a rather unpleasant start and brought
to his mind the disquieting suspicion
that he had oversight.
He came out Of bed with bound
and looked at his watch. 1t was $50
half past 8, and he had an appoint
ment to go sailing with Helen Caverly
at sharp! Surely the gods Of misfor-
tune severally and collectively were
following In his train!
He dressed in record breaking time,
bounded down the stairs and, break
fastless, made all speed to the long
pier In front Of the hotel, his mind
busy with the many apologies he would
undoubtedly need in few moments.
But the apologies were doomed, for
the present at least, to remain unspo-
ken, for when he reached the pier he
saw, running out Of the harbor before
the smart breeze, a knockabout with a
well known pennant fiuttering from the
mast.
Evidently Miss Caverly had grown
weary Of waiting for him. Goodhue
took long, lugubrioQs look at the dis
tant sail and groaned.
Yet he was not the man to submit
tamely to adverse circumstances. At
the end Of the pier lay hope in the
shape Of his own power boat, pulling
at her painter as she swung to the tide.
In a moment he had scrambled aboard,
pulled the cover from the engine and
turned over the hywheel.
There was a series of sharp reports
He threw Off the moorings, sprang to
the little wheel In the bow, and the
power boat went tearing away from
the pier, sending up twin waves OF
white spume at her bow as she sped
In pursuit of the distant knockabout.

ever, is not one Of the things to be
classed among such certainties as

legde when there was an ominOus
coughing Of the exhaust.
Immediately it grew spasmodic and
seemed to take half hearted, despair
ing note. Then 1t ceased altogether,
and with this cessation the little craft
lay helpless on the long swells coming
In from the bay.
Countless precedent cases had taught
Goodhue what to do. He pulled Off
his coat, caught up a wrench and at
tackled the engine, not without GER
tain grim wrath.
At the end Of half an hour, despite
an his art and all his mad efforts with
the wrench, the engine, beyond few
derisive, choking puffs, refused to re-
spond.
Goodhue hurled the wrench angri.y
into the locker, shook vindictive fist
at the balky machinery and delivered
himself Of his opinions concisely and
forcefully.
Then he looked despairingly at the
SAIL momentarily growing smaller to
the eastward and ruefully surveyed
the blue streak Of shore behind him,
not without certain poignant longings
for breakfast
All his labors had merely succeeded
In getting him stalled here in the mid
die Of the bay. He grunted his dis

hook as an improvised signal Of dis

SHOES AND STOCKINGS.

A Way by Which Their Lasting Quail
ties May Be Increased.
While your shoes are new or before
the soles are much worn apply with a
small brush several coats Of linseed
oil, letting it dry in well each time be-
fore reapplying. The oil acts much
the same on the leather as it does on
wood, and If the applications Of oil
are repeated frequently the sole may
be preserved intact indefinitely.
1t sounds unreasonable to talk Of
preserving hosiery to any appreciate
extent, but 1t may be done. The Of
tener hosiery is washed the longer 1t
will last. BY washing l do not neces-
sarily mean the ordinary laundry
method, which Is calculated to fade
and rot the fiber. Really, to preserve
hosiery it must have personal super
vision. Stockings should never be
worn longer than one day. They
should then be rinsed In lukewarm
water with a few drops Of ammonia
In It, dried and worn without ironing
This repeated wetting Of the fiber
keeps 1t 80 firm and strong that 1t will
not break at the points Of greatest
distension. This treatment applies to
cotton, Isle thread and silk hosiery.
If you will treat your new hose this
way from the beginning, you need
darn but very little. OF course in time
all hosiery, however expensive or
strong, will succumb to wear, but the
above method Of treatment will double
the lasting qualities. - New York
