There are undoubtedly many frauds
in the testimonials of medical firms
letters written by friends or even EN-
ployes of the advertiser. But on the
other hand, in some cases the testi-
monials are thoroughly genuine, gladly
offered by prominent citizens, who are
grateful for the cure.
Such a case is that of Robt. Sussman

Books Of Reference.

Newspaper editors like to answer
questions addressed to them by their
readers-if they are not too hard
and they deem themselves as arbiters
rather than as accessories to a mis-
sdemeanor when they are appealed to
for Information ''to decide bet" But
they wonder sometimes why certain
questions are put to them for arbitra-
ment when the answers are to be
found In one Of three very accessible
books-an almanac, a grammar and q
small dictionary.
These are books of reference that
ought to be in every home library,
however small. We guess that they
are, but that they are sometimes dusty
with misuse or out of easy reach on a
top shelf. It is well to have an al
manac, a dictionary or an atlas handy
when you are reading your newspaper.
By consulting them frequently the
reader will find his daily paper relates
his early historical studies to present
events and makes his touch with the
world closer and more significant. Get

bishop Of Exeter to answer charges of
neglecting his spiritual and parochial
duties, and he was also demonstrated
with for keeping and following a pack
OF hounds. The charges were proved
unfounded, and Russell refused to
give up the sport, which he continued
to pursue almost to the day of hi
death in 1888, at the age Of eighty
eight. Besides being an Unsuitable
hunter, he was, as his biographer
pithily remarks, ga stanch supporter
