She reached the door as she spoke,

silent movement, and disappeared.
Standing by the door, l opened the
note and my Mortified eyes fell on the
following words:
I'VE receive no mercy, and we give
none. Your doom was nearly fixed
when you found out the secret of my
false paralysis on board the Ariadne.

Treatn1ent for L..1f1an JEW.

Lump jaw is due to fungus which
is usually taken into the animals sys-
TEN in feed consumed. Lump jaw is
liable to affect the glands of the
throat or the bones of the head, writes
Doctor David Roberts in American
Cultivator. 1t is not advisable to keeL
an animal thus afflicted lingering in
a herd. On the other hand it is adj
visable to either treat such an animal
or kill it, as such animals invite dis
eases into the herd, owing to the fact
that they are so reduced in vitality
that they have no resisting power.
A remarkably large per cent. of such
cases can be successfully treated If
taken in time by opening up the en-
largement and washing 1t out with
strong antiseptic solution, like five of
carbolic acid in water, and putting the
animals on tonic. In this way the
afflicted animal is not only saved, but
the entire herd is protected against
disease.

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save q
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, in reality, the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
zone day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate so ravenously that she fixed a sec
ond which he likewise finished.
ut was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
Eve have pug before him other
foods, but he will have none Of thems
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him SO much good--hi3 old
friend Grape-Nuts.
"Use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and I can never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after the bright
ness it has brought to our household"
Grape-Nuts is not made for baby
food, but experience with thousands oi
babies shows it to be among the best

Must Have
Hurt Dreadfully
From the Letter Recently Received
From Mrs. E. Fourier, Of
Lake Charles, La, Her
Suffering Must Have
Been Dreadful.

Lake Charles, La.-"I had no coYrs
age or patience left" writes Mrs. E.
Fourier of this place, "as a result OK
my great suffering.
Il had backache, headache, heart
palpitation, chills, fainting spells, sick
stomach, nervousness, dragging sensa-
tions and thought every month I
should die.
No doctor could relieve me and the
month before began to take Cardui.

corset, and had q pain in my right side.
Since taking Cardui, have no more
pain. can walk as far as want and

If you suffer from any of the symp-
toms described by Mrs. Fourier you
are urged to take Cardui, for it should
surely do as much for you, as it has
done for her.
lfyou are weak and ailing, suffer from
lack of appetite, lack of blood, lack OF
nervous vitality, Cardui is probably just
what you need to help you build up
your physical and nervous constitution.

|DO NOT ALLOW USE
 OF THIRD DEGREE
Police Officers All Condemn the
 Practice
sIGSBEE HAS MADE BOND
Bodeker Says He Is Decidedly Opposed To @Third Degree" Tactics With Prisoners and Has Issued
 Special Instructions

There were no developments in the S. Slgsbee's case has been set for Mo- vember 30 in Montgomery and he has made bond to appear at that time. He refused to make any statement in con nection with the charge.
 The Mayor has taken no action in the matter as yet and his orders are awaited with interest by the force. The Mayor was busy yesterday, but it is thought that he will be able to reach the mat ter this morning. Tt is not known wheth- CT suspensions will result or not.
 Chief Bodeker has taken occasion to correct the impression that has gone abroad that the police department habit tain confessions.
 q am most decidedly opposed to the use of such tactics said the chief last night. 'I have learned during my 20 years work as a police officer that much better results can be obtained by ap- pealing to the prisoners judgment rather than to his fear.
 During my connection with the Bir- mingham police department know posi- lively that such methods have not been used. I have instructed Chief of Detec- tives Mcdonald that if such practices have been going on they must be dis continued. However, I do not believe they are practiced and I can testify that nothing of the kind has been done dur ing my term as chief of police. unless it be this single case.'
 Chief of Detectives Jack McDonald made the following statement in regard to the use of the third degree:
 'The detective department has not habitually used the third degree on pris- oners and this instance is practically the only one that know of during my con- nection with the police department for over 20 years. Certainly no electrical ap- paratus Is kept in the offices with which prisoners are shocked to bring confes- sions from them.
 '1 knew nothing of the use of the de- gree on Morris Brown but I understand that the battery used was of such low voltage that serious harm could not have been done.''
 Capt. Martin Eagan indignantly denied that any such charge was true and had the following to say about the matter:
 "It has always been the practice of the officers of the police department to treat the prisoners fairly and courteously. This has been impressed on the minds of the men time and again both by Chief Bod eker and other officers.
 "The use of electricity on Morris Brown was done entirely without my consent or knowledge but the impression should not be allowed to go abroad that the police department habitually resorts to such methods. I personally know that this is urftrue'
