New York City.-Human blood
went at bargain-counter prices in
Bellevue Hospital when for $40 a
guest of Mills Hotel No. 3 sold fif-
teen ounces Of his life fluid, thereby
probably saving the life of John Den
nison, 10 years. old, a patient suffer
Ing from malignant growth on the
right leg. There was nothing heroic
AboEt the manner in which the man
sold his blood 1t was purely q bus
iness proposition The Mills Hotel
man needed the ten-spot and felt he
could spare the blood The father
Of the patient, though poor. felt he
could spare the $40 in view of his
sons need for the fresh "iOOd.
Striking a bargain between buyer
and seller was easy. Dennison's 5 faith
er went TO Mills Hotel No. and
announced he was in the market for
human blood. He explained that his
son was in Bellevue Hospital and
that the surgeons were anxious to
transfuse the blood Of healthy per
son into the body Of the boy.
"The doctors want strong man
who is healthy in every way" the
father explained.
A guest registered as Mark owen,
who refused to tell anything further
about himself, stepped forward, and
remarked he would like to know
more about 1t.
Big, broad-shouldered, with the
glow of health In his cheeks, he
looked as if he would pass the test Of
the physicians.
"I guess you'll do" said Dennison.
How much blood do you wantf"
asked Owen.
Fifteen ounces"
How much do I get?"
Ten dollars"
I'm your man." and the bargain
was struck. The rate was Sc 2-S
cents an onuee.
Up to Bellevue Hospital marched
Dennison and Owen. The surgeons
examined the man who was willing
to sell fifteen ounces of his blood for
$40, and told him he would do. The
nature of the operation then was ex-
planned to him.
He was told that the patient was
suffering from what is known as say
coma, a malignant growth. To savs
the boys life 1t was necessary to take
from his body about sixteen ounces
of the impure blood and transfuse in
the body about fifteen ounces OF
healthy fluid.
81 don't want to be chloroformed
during the operation" Owen said.
mo anaesthetics will be. given"
replied one of the surgeons. We'll
deaden the pain by an injection OF
cocaine"
GO ahead" said Owen. I'm
ready"
Dennison was placed on the OPP
Grating table and Owen was laid on
another table Between the two was
a narrow table upon which the boy
and the man each placed an arm.
The surgeons made an incision In
the boys upper arm and blood was
permitted to flow from the upper
part OF the median vein, while the
lower part was closed In this way
the boy was relieved of about six
teen ounces of his impure and un-
nourished blood An incision then
was made IN the forearm Of the man
The surgeons rapidly connected the
lower ligament of the mans radial
artery with the upper vein OF the
boys arm, and the blood Of the man
began to pass into the body of the
boy.
Dennison and Owen watched each
other coolly throughout the opera
tion. Not a whimper came from the
boy, not groan from the man.
When the operation was over the
boys temperature showed marked
improvement.
Owen was weak after the opera
ton. He took stimulant and then
left the hospital, not forgetting, Of
| course, to collect his SO before
leaving

To Cash Buyers

Every day we're striving to over
come widespread prejudice which
works more harm to YOU than to us.
If YOU are cash buyer let US
ask you:-ls there any reason why
a cash house can sell for cash at
lower prices than a credit house
can sell for cash?
They do not, and they cannot.
Because of mistaken belief the
cash buyer goes to the so-called
cash house without making any
comparison with the values and
cash prices offered by the credit
house. The cash man figures on
this prejudice and takes advantage
of thefact that the customerdoes not
know the cash prices of the credit
house
Here Is a truth in our favor:
Credit selling swells the volume of
our business 10 such proportions
that the size of our orders to manu-
facturers commands lower cost
price than that of the cash house.
We believe that when value
find our credit prices as low as
prices are always marked III plal
time within 80 days we allow

Mild Laxative

The child of today is the parent of

healthy and strong, or puny and weak,
depends upon the intelligence OF its

birth and the age of ten, when the
parents are still in greatest control.
The prime cause of trouble is in the
stomach. a baby that Is digesting its
