San Francisco. April 27.-Sixty
shares OF stock In the Bell Telephone
company, purchased In 1882, have been
brought to light in this city. and the
purchaser, a woman who invested
Sl,5OO. Is believed to be in a position
10 dispose Of her property for s1,75O..
o0O. which sum she must divide with
the alert agent OF a commercial com.
pany, who located the valuable secur-
ity after it had laid In a trunk. con.
sldered worthless security, during a
period OF 81 years.
Through an interview tonight with
w. d. Harding, fiscal agent OF a wire
less company, it became known that
the stock In question was placed In
the trunk and forgotten.
The womans identity has not been
made known.
IL appears the woman In question
purchased the stock year before the
original corporation undertook con-
struction Of the first telephone line
between New York and Boston AT
the time of her marriage. according
to the narration. the owner of the six
~ shares of Bell Telephone stock was
advised by her husband that she had
purchased n lot of worthless securities.
and, deferring to his advice. she bur
led the stock certificates In trunk.
Recently, according to the story made
public tonight, the owner OF the stock
was approached by the agent OF u
wireless telegraph company. who Inn
portuned her TO purchase stock in his
company.
Il don't believe in these telephone
OF telegraph companies, said the wo-
man. 81 once bought stock In an or
ganization called the Bell Telephone
company. and | have never gotten

The information acquired in this
manner was at length communicated
to Mr.. Harding, who promptly realized
its value. He ascertalned that the
woman had purchased the stock at
total outlay OF S25 per share. or 81, 500
for the sixty shares and later made
her an offer to divide with her all the
profits arising through sale of the
stock. Since this agreement, which
is said to have been consumatcd sew
eral weeks ago, the precious stock
certificates are believed to have been
entrusted to the Crocker National bank
and to the First National bank, both
of this city, and to financial institu-
fer that will recompense Harding and

million dollars.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Doctors Say There is a Harmless, Safe
and Sure Way to Re-
move Ii.
Or. Starbuck Sayo:-"I Feel Justified
in Making the Assertion That 1t
Is the Only Successful Meth
cd of Removing Hair"

Every woman who Is afflicted with
superiiuous hair will undoubtedly be
glad to know that there is one proper
and logical method OF getting rid OF
this most annoying and embarrassing
Disagreement.
The best authorities in the medical
profession agree that De Miracle will
destroy hair successfully, although
there are many other unreliable things
which claim to do it. The success
which has attended this preparation
as a means of removing hair Is based
upon the method by which it works.
1t Is a purely scientific principle and
totally different from the pastes and
powders and other remedies which
simply break off the hair in the same
way that the razor does. making the
hair when IL grows out again heavier
than before.
AS far as the electric needle or H'ray
is concerned, both are not only unsat-
isfactory. but dangerous as well. The
scars and burns of the electric needle
last for a lifetime. and the dangers OF
the X-ray are indeed serious.
De Miracle may be used without any
Inconvenience or danger of any Kind.
The method by which it removes hair
should not be classed or compared
with that Of the fake free treatments
which are advertised so extensively In
the newspapers.
Don't forget, after you have used
worthless concoctions 1t will be hard
er TO remove the nair
Remember. DeMiracle is the only
method for removing hair which is
indorsed by physicians. surgeons, der
matologists. medical journals and
prominent magazines.
We will send you absolutely free, in
plain sealed envelope, 5i-page book
let containing full information. as
well as testimonials Of prominent ply
sicians. surgeons, dermatoloGists. med
ical journals and the principal maga-
zines You should read this booklet
before you try anything. 1t treats the
subject exhaustively. Write to the DE

To Preserve Leaves,

A simple method OF preserving the
natural color Of leaves is to press each
one separately with hot f1atiron, lay
ing tho leaf upon paper. then rubbing
the iron over wax or paraffine and
pressing the leaf on both sides until
dry. After ironing several leaves In
this manner there will be enough wax
left on the paper. so that the leaves
Will require ironing on one side only.
Leaves should not be wet when
ready to be pressed. Spread them
carefully between layers of newspa-
pers or other paper equally absorb
ents taking care TO use plenty of pa
per. After the leaves are spread out
disturb the paper as little as possible; /;
but the outer layers must be changed
frequently at first and later every two
or three days. Keep in d warm. dry
place, as the color is best preserved
by rapid drying.

Reading for Improvement.

she has read. and by copying in
blank book few sentences or lines
which impress her. she can improve
her knowledge OF spelling and phras-

year of such practice a better educa.

possess. Any librarian will advise an
ambitious girl what books to read for

The Medical Fee.

The American Medical association,

never attempted to establish an eth

evolves itself and ever has been and
ever will be a graded one. The great
bulk OF practice is practically charity
that IS, it represents small fees or
no fees. This Is true alike In the re-
mote country districts and in the
great metropolitan centers. There is
one difference. however, which should
be distinctly remembered, and that Is
that rural charity is generally de-
served, whereas urban charity is often
misplaced. II is stated that practical
