kLOHADh SETTEE
FOUND BY 4 LOCAL
SHERLOCK HOLMES

There was furry at the kilobana
Art League a few days ago when il
was discovered that one of the two iron
settees which adorn the main entrance
to the gallery had disappeared. 1t was
shock and the police Were quickly
notified Of its loss. Three detectives
were sent up to the league building,
and were shown the remaining one.
That was a elew, as the missing one
was identical. 1t was one of those
pretty, esthetic settees, painted green
to be in harmony win nature, and
Well, anyhow, it was missing. Wheth
er it had been gone day or two days
was not known. 1t WASH t there just
then. The detectives noted it down
in their books, looked over the cement
pavement for footprints that would
give an additional clue, took the meas
urements of the building, and then
lighting their pipes in true Sherlock
Holmes style, pondered over the mat
ter. 1t was deep mystery. One Off
Ger walked along Miller street in deep
thought, trying to put two and two
together in order TO make a settee. He
turned in at side entrance to the
building and sat DOWN on a bench TO
think it out.
Bringing his thoughts back from the
clouds he became aware that he was
sitting on an iron settee. Yes. it was
the same pattern as the one in front.
Aha, the mystery was solved. He had
found the missing piece of furniture.
By the same Sherlock Holmes rea-
soning lovers had undoubtedly found
the settee in it's original resting place
was too much in the glare of the corner
electric light and had moved it down
the street to the quietude of the dark
ened doorway.

Fine Performance of the Korea
Tuesday May Convince
Manager SChWerin.

When the Pacific Mail liner Korea
, .wireIessed in on Tuesday night to the
Kahuku wireless station, across space
measuring 2205 miles, the performance
was full of Importance to the maritime
world for il was a guarantee that the
United Wireless Company has made
good and that each Pacific Mail steamer
so equipped is expected to keep up this
good record.
1t is understood that General Man
ager Schwerin wanted guarantee Of
at least 1000 miles Of distinct, clear
''talking." This would enable the
operator to be in touch with both Ho-
nolulu and Japan stations at the same
time, so that the vessel would never
be out of touch with the land
If the United people could make good
: on the 2000mile record then the general
manager would have wireless apparatus
installed on every vessel of the line
plouging the great Pacific.
Although the Siberia may be the next
one to receive a wireless outfit, vet
there is no certainty of this, and pos
sibly the Manehuria will be the next
steamship to be fitted out.
Big Mail on Alameda.
Irwin & Co. received a wireless mes
sage from the Alameda, dated clock
Tuesday night, giving the position of
she vessel, and stating that the liner
was carrying a large number of passen-
gers. The message was as follows:

4 SMALL RED SPOT
Novel Experiment by Which It May
 Be Made to Disappear

A peculiar feature about poslam, the Few skin discovery is that no ne is asked to buy it without first sending to the Emergency Laboratories No. 32 West Twenty-fifth street New York City, for an experimental sample and applying same to an affected part of the skin, about the size of a silver dol lar. It will clear the spot so treated in twenty-four hours-a remarkable visual demonstration of it's powers.
 While peslam has been mentioned RIincipally in connection with the cure ef eczema the most stubborn of skin diseases. 1t must be remembered that when used for itch, hives, pimples, t1otches, acne. itching feet, scaly scalp, Snafing of infants and similar minor Ekin troubles its action is all the more pronounced, results being seen after an overnight application. AS only a small quantity of poslam is necessary to cure such cases, a special fifty-cent package, usually sufficient, has been placed on sale at Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy and other leading >drug stores in Bridgepoyt and throughout the country.

So Exclaims Man to His Physician, Still He Is

 WORK WITH
 USUAL EASE.
Finds Himself Easily Ex- hausted and It's All Due to Lack of Nourishment.

There are great many people in the world who work but are not well. They are carrying on their duties in passa ableA-manner but that is all- they never achieve the success that they are rightfu1ly heir to. The vital- ity of such people is low, the nervous energy is easily expended and the consequence is inability to perform completely and with customary ease the amount of work necessary to bring them into business prominence. For this incapacity or subnormal con- dition there must be a cause which, if eliminated, will bring to any per son thus burdened his share of health cause is lack of nourishment. "But great heavens" exclaims a gentleman to his physician, "I eat plenty of food" And so many ne but there is preparation of.that food before it's re- ception in the stomach. In short he had not been properly chewing his food and was forcing it in his stom- ach in bulk, waste matter of which only trifie could possibly assimilate and lact as food or nourishment to his system much weakened by a long practice of this kind. This gentle mans trouble was with his teetH In the rush of business he had overlook ed the condition of his teeth, decay had set in aud in favoring certain teeth he had gradually thrown the work of an entire set of teeth on the two remaining sound teeth in his head and they were not equal to the situation. In consequence he was eating but mot masticating to the ex- tent he should and he was paying the penalty by constantly being fatigued, his vitality was low and he couldn't stand the pace of business and pleas ure without nearing the point of ex- haustion. He came to me and by my Porcelain method I gave him the new teeth he required (no false teeth on plates were used) and now he ,chSGvs with all his teeth instead of two and his food nourisheS him and he is re- gaining the footing which for a time was slowly but surely slipping from him. There are a lot of half-sick people in this city whose whole trou- ble is identical to this mans. would like to talk with everyone of them for know I can place them in pos session of their requirements and give them the advice which will mean to them future success and health.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING.
Health as Primary Factor In lnteIIi.
 cep4 I ix;n1

Health as a Primary Factor In lnteIIi-
 gent Living. Health and success are so largely dependent upon balance, upon sym metry of development. physical and mental harmony, that we should do everything possible to secure that physical boise which also means men, tai and moral poise. A large part of our ills come from one sided develop ment. caused by oyerstimulating some tissue cells and starving others-over- feeding and underfeeding. Scientific feeding. therefore, is of vast impor- tan e.
 Overeating and improper eating are among the curses of the world Think of the people who put all sorts of in- compatibles into their stomachs at the same time and then use all sorts of nostrums to get rid of their bad ef- fects.
 One of the most pathetic sights in the world is that of human being struggling hard to carry out his am- bition, yet handicapping himself by his ignorance of physical laws.
 What a pathetic figure Carlyle cut in the world-a one sided giant who might have been symmetrical power. possessor of colossal brain largely controlled by dyspeptic stomach. He was cross and grabbed and did just the things that he did not want to do, things that he knew it would be bet ter not to do. but he was the victim of starved nerves. of exhausted brain cells largely for want of common sense feeling.-Orison Swett Warden in Sue cess Magazine

SMOKING A PIPE.
1t Is Said to Give the Face Square Jawed Effect.

 1t Is Said to Give the Face Square Jawed Effect.
 seThere is one question I always ask a man who wants a job.'' remarked the business man who has to hire sev- eral hundred men for different posi- tions each year.
 '@rhe question I always ask them is. Do you smoke pipe much" Of course the answers are various. Some of them smoke a pipe a great deal and others not at all.
 "Why do ask about the pipe? We'll, not that l have the least interest in their habits or that l have any preju- dice one way or another in the mat ter. The reason is that want to know whether the formation of their lower jaws is natural or acquired.
 "A man with firm lower jaw is al- ways a man of parts and of will. say talways'-anyway, most always. If he does not smoke a pipe his square jaw, back near where it hinges on to the upper one. is natural. If he is pipe smoker the looks are deceiying. and I have to judge his caliber some other way.
 Pipe smokers always have strong muscles back on the face about the place man stops when he makes the first stroke downward in shaving. These are the muscles that hold the jaws together They often give square jawed effect to a man who hasn't any square jaw characteristics. My men think I ask funny questions. but there's a reason."-New York Times.
