ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be Warning to
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical journals recently
have had much to say relative to q famous mil
lonaire's offer of a million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi millionaire was too busy to
worry about the condition OF his stomach. He
allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad TO worse,
until In the end 1t became incurable.
His misfortune serves warning To others.
Every one who suffers with dyspepsia for few
years will give everything he owns for new
stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by abnormal state q
the gastric juices. There is one element missing.
The absence Of this destroys the function Of To
gastric fluids. They lose their power to digest
food.
We are now able to supply the missing eao-
ment-to restore to the gastric juices their q.
sestive power, and to make the stomach straa8

Catching a Tartar.

A Pennsylvania trout fisherman had
an adventure which is warning to

several rods up stream. He thought
1t was mink, but when it got within
a couple of yards he saw it was wild

his line toward the animal and the
next instant regretted his hasty action.
The hook caught in the cats ears, and
it promptly turned and swan toward
the boat. He padded away, but the
cat overlook the boat and proceeded to
climb in. The fisherman knocked the
animal on the head with the paddle,

Then there was fight in the water,
and the fisherman defended himself so
we'll with the paddle that he was able
to reach the shore. The wildcat fol-
lowed, but a few we'll directed blows

had his clothing badly torn he thinks
he had the worst Of the bargain. At

DR.. Russell Cool of California hap
pened to suppress an epidemic Of
measles while on vacation trip to

invited him to a banquet in his primi-

and his white guest sat amiably on
the floor and dined of roast pig and
other native delicacies served on broad
leaves and eaten with the fingers.
AFTER dinner host and guest adjourned
to seats outside the palace, lit long, fat,
black cigars and gazed out over the
moonlit Pacific. In the eyes Of Chief
Oreaori, Robert Louis Stevenson, who
did SO much to improve the condition
Of the south sea islanders, was the
greatest white man that ever lived.
The chief related to DR.. Cool many
incidents to illustrate Steyenson's
kindness, then asked score Of ques-

widow and Of his stepchildren. When
the last question had been answered
there followed long period Of silence.

ocean. Then Oreaori turned to the

GuIIs and CLANS,

The discussion continues between
those who think that all the acts Of
the lower animals are satisfactorily
explained by the hypothesis Of inner
tied instinct and those who hold that
there is an element of intelligence, If
not of reasoning, In these things. W.
L. Finley, in work on American
birds, mentions an observation of his
which may perhaps be explained either
way, but which in any case is interest
ing. A gull seized upon a clam and,
rising to height of about fifteen feet,
allowed it to fall upon hard ground.
The clam kept it's mouth shut. Again
the gull rose with it to the same height
and dropped it once more, with the
same result. This operation was re-
peated fifteen times, when at last the
shock had the desired effect, the shell
was opened, and the gull enjoyed its
dainty contents. r" . ..5

Freezing Flesh.

1t is curious fact that, although
jewellers in northern climes must have
known for ages that a low temperature
preserves flesh from putrefaction, it
never seems to have struck any one
that this natural fact could be turned
to artificial advantage until Lord Bacon
stuffed the historic chicken with snow
and thereby caught chill which killed
him. It is perhaps even more curious
that an experiment resulting in the
death Of one Of the most eminent men
in the world should not have called any
attention to an already well known
principle which might have been read
lily turned to great advantage. As a
matter Of fact, 1t was not until the year
1875, 249 years after Lord Bacon's fatal
experiment, that freezing was prac-
tically employed as method Of pre-
serving flesh. This was the commence
ment Of the frozen meat trade between
America and England. -Four years
later a dry air refrigerator was per-
fected. .-' .-.s ,.
