Cure for Cold in the Head.

A Paris physician, P. l.. Rom
me, has recently announced a
new cure for a cold in the head.
In reality DIR. Romme's cure is
said to have been discovered
$50 years ago by an English
doctor named Williams, well
known at the close Of the
eighteenth century.
The remedy, declares Leslie's
Weekly, is simplicity itself. All
one has to do is to abstain from
all liquids during a period Of "a
to 48 hours, starting from the
moment when the sufferer feels
the first irritating symptoms of
a cold in the head.
Bread, fish, vegetables, white
meat and pudding may be eaten,
but beverages should be taken
in very small quantities. a spoon
full of tea, coffee or milk in the
morning and a small glass eff
water going to bed, or if possible
not taken at all.
It is not necessary to remain
at home. The dry cure, in fact,
is more rapid and complete il
the sufferer breathes in the open
air. DR.. Steinburg, a Viennese
authority, has modernized it by
forbidding SOUP and even the
small quantity Of tea or milk of
DR.. Williams system. But he
allows a small glass of wine and
water during the day.

Queens Many Accomplishments.

Greece, which is looming just now
largely in world politics, on account
of the Cretan question, can boast OF q
queen who is one of the most accomp-
lished linguists among European roy
alties. Queen Olga, who was, a Rus
sian princess, being a daughter OF the
Grand Duke Constantine, is, like most
of her compatrfots, excellent at Ian
guages, and speaks not only French,
English, and Italian, but also the
tongues of her adopted country, Greek
and Albanian. The queen also en-
joys a unique p~rerogative among the
rest OF her sex, for she is probably
the only woman who has ever had the
| dignity of admiral conferred upon her
an honor bestowed on her by the
| late car of Russia. Like the present
| czarina, her Greek majesty has a pas
| sion for flowers, and always has her
| rooms profuseiy decorated with them;
and she is likewise a keen philan-
thropist.

Society Girls In Gsod Work.

Miss Helen Prick, the 1S-year-old
daughter of Henry Clay Prick, the
Pittsburg multi-millionaire, gave an
elaborate luncheon Sunday at Still
man farm, in East Wenham, Mass,
to the working girls of Boston, Lynn,
Lowell and Lawrence, who have been
Ter guests at the farm during the sum-
rer. More than 100 girls attended.
Miss Setter of Pittsburg aided Miss
Frick in receiving.
Miss Prick leased the Stillman farm
for the purpose of giving the girls 8
chance of enjoying the country. Some
of the girls have spent their vacation

had only a day or afternoon.-CleYa-

John w. Gates on Gambling

John w. Gates advises young
men not to gamble in stocks or
grain, or at the poker table.
this is excellent advice, even if
it does come from a man of ''bet-
ambition fame, an expert in
the shearing of lambs on Wall
street, the "cornerer'' OF the
Louisville and Nashville, and one
# the biggest players of the
great American game who ever
stood pat on a pair Of jacks.
Gates, no doubt, realizes, in spite
of his success in speculation of
various kinds, that S100 earned
By honest labor is worth more
t1an $40, 900 won at gambling,
! out we can't help wondering
what was the size OF the stakes
in the game that followed his
speech on the evils of gambling.
But whether Gates practices
what he breaches or not, what
he breaches is the right thing
and worthy of all acceptation.
There is too much the habit
t, e;e days to discredit virtues of
a kind because they are pro-
claimed by persons suspected of
not possessing or practicing
them, and that is bad. The good
and the beautiful and the true
are so whether declared by the
preacher of the> thief on the
cross" and sometimes even men
as much sinners as John w.
Gates may reform and take a
fancy to be good and worthy.
AT any rate, gambling is bad
and dickering with the stock
market may cause much misery
and ruin, especially among those
who do not know the game, and
we would all be much better off
if we let both severely alone
and this is all true whether
Gates, the preacher in the pulpit
or this secular newspaper says
it. -Chattanooga Times.

its; must have at least an ordi-

/ for the enumeration beginning

/ structions for flling-in, and COM

ment, can be secured by writing

j The applicant lives. All applica-
cations. properly flled-in must

FLOSSIE COMING WITH

So many evidences of the jealousy of
actresses have come to light recently in
the big cities that 1t will surprise the
average reader to know that one of the
leading performers with a coming at
traction not only agrees for others to
be in the spotlight, but actually never
takes the trouble to collect her salary
Were she to get cranky there is no
one in the show who could take her
place. She has no understud not be-
cause she Is Jealous of others, but be-
cause no one else can master her act.
For seven years she has been a feature
with a great show. Never has an adj
verse criticism of her work been penned.
With all this, she has not become swell
headed.
She does not bear an assumed name
and Is not ashamed of being called
"Flossie," the name given to her in in
fancy. She does not ask for the best
rooms in hotels and does not insist on
her name being in large type on the
posters. This great star has never lost
her diamonds, has never taken milk
bath, has never been married or divorced.
and has never appeared in Bernard

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Throws Ball over Grandstand.


To the Editor of The Age Herald.
There was great game scheduled at
Hartselle on the 18th. The amenders
search ed the highways and hedges for
several days for hurler, who they
might hope could stem the tide of the
antis in Morgan. After a careful ex-
animation of several records that had
been submitted, Manager Samuel Black
well, 'as a matter of fact" recommend
ed that Rev. G.. I. Yates, pastor of the
Central Baptist church of New Decatur,
be sent into the rifle pit. With a smile
that resembled that of a father when
his first born arrives, he adorns the
togs of the political parson and steps
into the center of the political diamond
with an air of confidence and an album
dance of the tricks that are being used
in this great game to decoy our liberty
loving batsmen.
OF course the odds were against him
from the outset; but in the ninth in
ming, with the bases full and the score
2 to l in favor of the antis, he made
the most sensational peg that will oc-
cur during any of the series of these
isms, when he stated that he had sew
era1 members in his church that were
against the amendment, and that he
would be glad to give every one of
them their letters at his next church
service.
The fans are yelling take him out
The case will be referred to umpire B.
renee for investigation. The writer
would give the box score but he hap
pens to be one of the members that
gets his letter. c. MMILLAN.
