Only Cure for Consumption.

With the present rapid growth of
the anti-tuberculosis movement the
number of so-called cures" for con-
sumption is being increased almost
daily. Hundreds of quack doctors"
professors" and institutes" are ad-
vertising that they can cure consump-
ton for small amounts. with the re-
suit that thousands OF dupes are year
ly cheated out OF their lives as well
as their money. Besides these. cures
and medicines of all sorts, numbering
now several hundred, are sold for the
deception of the public.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
brands all these institutes, doctors,
professors and cures as frauds and de-
ceptions. The only cure for consump-
ton is fresh air, rest and wholesome
food.

From New York comes d story
about a little girl which might have

The little girl. whose age is about 12,
wanted for long time a baby broth

ther Of her wish, he said: You had
better keep your eyes open, and some
day perhaps you can steal one" Well,
the 12-year-old miss took him at his
word. She kept very alert eye on
all the babies she fell in with, and
one day last week she saw one in a
baby carriage outside some small New
York shop. She took the baby and
ran away with it, but her possession
of her prize soon came to an end, for
the baby's mother, finding an empty
carriage when she left the store, ap-

down to Caragh lake. where the rail

PROSE POEM BY HAWTHORNE.
Description Of "oid Maid In the Wind.

in the Language.

A taint Of insanity affected the whole
life OF the lovelorn "Old Maid in the
Winding Street." bereft as she was by
the sudden death of her lover. But
SO quiet, sad and gentle. so utterly
free from violence was she. that she
was suffered to pursue her harmless
fantasies unmolested by the world
with whose business or pleasure she
had naught to do. She dwelt alone
and never came into the daylight ex-
cept to follow funerals. Whenever a
corpse was borne along the street. in
sunshine, rain or snow. whether a
pompous train of the rich and proud
thronged after 1t, or few and humble
the lonely woman in a long. white
garment which the people called her
shroud. She took no place among the
kindred or the friends. but stood at
the door to hear the funeral prayer
and walked in the rear of the process
sion as one whose earthly charge it
was to haunt the house of mourning
and be the shadow of affection and
see that the dead were duly buried
So long had this been her custom that
the inhabitants deemed her part of
every funeral as much as the coffin
pail or the very corpse itself and it
augured i'll OF the sinners destiny un-
less the "Old Maid in the Winding
Street" came gliding. like ghost. be-

hall just as the priest was uniting

her lover had been dead a year Evil
was the omen to that marriage. Some
times she stole forth by moonlight
and visited the graves OF venerable
integrity and welded love and virgin
innocence and every spot where the
ashes Of kind and friendly heart was
mouldering. Over the hillocks of these
favored dead she would stretch out
her arms with gesture as If she we're

that she brought them from paradise,

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation Of Health,

Proper food is the foundation OF

The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food.

woman says:
Last summer I was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with.
out great pain, my stomach was so
sore I could hardly move about. This
kept up until was SO miserable life
was not worth living.
Then q friend finally, after much
argument. induced me to quit my for.
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although I had but little faith I
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that could eat
1t without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
so kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was
shown. for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull.
heavy feeling in my head disappeared.
and my mind felt light and clear: the
languid. tired feeling left, and alto.
gether felt as If I had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid.

renewed ambition.

Fine Pyroteehnic Display.
After a good rest, the city's guests
all turned out again this evening and
witnessed the magnificent display OF
fireworks on the top OF Ensign peak
This peak lies Immediately north OF
the city and is the highest point OF the
Wasatch mountains, rising 1.2o0 feet
higher than Temple square. The py-

of the encampment week.

Enthusiastically received or more gener-

are unanimous in their praise OF the
treatment they have received.

The old soldiers have been very
carefully looked after by the local
committee on public comfort and pri-

Information bureaus at the various
railway stations and convenient places
about the city. During the entire time
OF the encampment these committees
have had the services Of 300 high
school cadets. whose duties have been
to render every possible assistance to
the visitors.
Henry NJ. Nevius. the commander-in'
chief, arrived here Saturday with his
stan and inspected the arrangements.
On Sunday the city's guests began ar
irving by the thousand, and on Mon
day they came in so fast that the com

them all housed in such a manner as
to avoid congestion in any part OF the

KEOsAUQUA MAN
GETS PARDON
Albert Parnitzke Has Served Seven
teen Years Already for Muir
der of James Warner.

Attorneys Z. C. Weber and ] R.
Frailey of Fort Madison returned
from Des Moines last week. where
they had been for. some time before
the legislative pardon committee in
tie interest of Albert Parnitzke, who
is serving life sentence in the Fort
addison penitentiary, who was convict
ed in the district court at Keosauqua
of murder in the first degree.
Nothing has been done by the .eg-
islative committee SO far toyarda
either parole or pardon. and yet
the trial Judge, w |. Babb, says that
it is his belief that Parnitzke should
not have been convicted of murder il
the first degree, as the evidence did
not warrant it.
Parnitzke has served about seven
teen years and if Judge Babb, who
is now resident of Aurora, ILL.,, is
right in his construction of the
case, the prisoner has evidently serv-
ed all the time that was due him.
In long letter to Hon G. A. Mere
dith, who is at the head of the eg-
islative pardon committee, Judge
Babb says that he had no doubt at
the time of the trial and has none
now as to the prisoners guilt Of the
crime of numbering James Warner,
a farmer for whom he was working,
but that there was question IN his
mind then and now as to the element
of deliberation and generalization of
the act. that he would have been
perfectly contented with verdict
OF murder in the second degree, but
that the jury returned verdict OF
murder in the first degree, but lhat
there being sufficient evidence to sup
port it he did not feel disposed to
disturb the verdict He says Par

being about is or 20 years old, had.
always lived in that neighboihood
and bore an excellent character as an
honest, Woodworking, peaceabie Ger
man boy, and that his parents were
hard working. honest citizens; that
the feeling between Parnitzke and
the man he killed had been perfectly
friendly all the time while he worked
for him. In view of all these facts
Judge Babb says he would be perfect
ly contented to see him ptrdoned or
rather paroled at this time, especially
if his conduct has been good during
his incarceration, and believes from
what he has heard from prison officials
that he would lead correct life II

Parnitzke's principal defense at the
time of the trial was that he was an
