Is una precauci6n que Sc debera temar,
del misno modo, en- Ia epoca de los
grandes calores en- que Sc siente tanta
necesidad de beber, muy particular
mente cuando Sc es agricultor u obrero.
Ell medic mas sencillo, ell mas econ0-
mico y ell mas seguro de sanear cl aqua
es adicionarla un POGO de aqua alqul-
tranada, pues ell alquitran mata los mi
.crobios que son la causa de todas nues-
1ras Intermediates graves, preseryan-
donos, por consecuencia, de elias. Tiene,
pues, la propiedad de convertir en- sana
Y saludable ell aqua que bebemos y nos
garantiza, por 10 tanto, contra las ept-
demias.
En- otro tempo Sc acostumbraba a
poner brea en- una garrafa llena de aqua,
Sc agitaba la meZcla dos veces por dia,
Dor eSpacio de una semana, antes de
emplearla. En- tales condolences, ell aqua
solo podia disolver una cantidad insl-
gnificante de alquitran, resultando de
este que ell producto asi obtenido no
solo carecia de actividad, POGO menos,
sino que era de un sabOr acre y deSa-
gradable.
Pero hara unos treiDta amos que un
farmaceutco dlstinguido de Paris,
Mr. Guyot, consiguio hacer so1ubles en-
aqua los principles activos del alqui-
lran, Y gracias este descubrimien'o Sc
tencuentra hoy en- todas las farmacias,
bajo ell nombre de alquitran de Guyot,
-un licor sumamente concentrate de
-aiquilran; licOr que permite preparar
instantaneamente en- ell momento de
necesitarla, una aqua sumamente dia-
fana de una eficacia unlversalmente
recOnocida.
Para obtener esa bebida saludable, que
seguramente pone a cuoierto de los pei-
,,gros que nos reierlmoS en- este artlculo,
basta con verter una dos cucharadi-
ztas del citado licor en- cada vase de aqua
B del liquido que Sc tenga costumbre
de beber las comidas Tanto para pre-
servar de las epidemias y demas enfer-
medades graves como para curar con
~certeza la grippe, la influenza, las bron-
quits los catarros, es ell primero, y,
podriamos decir, supreme recurso, a

she had, in effect been told to sit in q
corner outside the door while her husband
gave heed to important matters within.
1t was inevitable that Wayne, by reason
of their old acquaintance, and with the
same roof sheltering them. should be her
chief dependence in unhappy hours.
She had gathered herself with an effort
and frowned: but smile played about
her lips. and she bent her head with a
becoming grace.

He rose with a laugh.

He tried to take her hand. but she

She pursed her lips and bent her head
with the slightest of inclinations toward
the library.
When he heard her at the swinging
pantry door a moment later he sprang up
and flung it open. She carried fowl
and bread, and told him he might fetch
knives and forks and other essentials OF
their feast. She was in a laughing mood
now. and in the midst Of their prepara-
tons. she ran to the hall door and lis
tened. like a child about to ravish the
Jam pots. The grace Of her slight figure,
her pretty way Of catching up her skirts,
the mockery of her anxiety lest they be
discovered brought them into new and
delightful intimacy.

sandwich she had made for him, do you

up there at Struby's cove, when we got
lost on the drive home? There was

cousin of this one. All chickens are

"And there was new moon and the

But we didn't have a picnic and get

Decidedly not, as she was from Phila-

subdued key of their talk.
A little later Col. Craighill was heard
at the library door bidding the stenogra-
pher good night. Mrs. Craighill rose,
clutching her plate and glass.

pered, and on this hint Wayne restored

MILLER TRIAL IS HALTED
ANNOUNCEMENT BY A JUROR
THAT HE CANNOT READ.
Court Adjourned Until Tomorrow,
When Question as to Discharging
Jury Will Be Decided.

A jury was sworn this morning to try
the question of the guilt or innocence of
John Barton Miller. former secretary
treasurer of the defunct First Corpora
tive Building Association, who is charged
with embezzing more than 100000 Of the
associations funds. But the trial did not
proceed.
No sooner had the jurors been seated,
after taking the oath. than one of their
number, calling Clerk Mckee, told him
that the juror was unable to read.
The juror was promptly discharged and
a question arose as to the proper pro-
cedure United States Attorney Wilson
insisted that the remaining eleven jurors
should be discharged and a new venire
be called. Attorneys Davis and Laskey
for the defense objected to this method
and Justice Stafford took an adjourn
ment until tomorrow morning, when he
will rule on the question.
District Attorneys Contention.
United States Attorney Wilson, in
sisting on the discharge of the jury,
suggested that the right of being tried
by q jury properly selected and en-
panelled was a constitutional one,
which the defendant could not waive
He urged that the only course open
10 the court was the discharge of the
jury.
Attorney Davis offered as a compro-
mise the proposition of allowing the
challenges rema ming after the accept
ance OF the disqualified juror to be
exercised on additional talesmen to be
summoned by the court
To a suggestion by Mr.. Wilson that the
nve members Of the regular panel be kept
and new jury completed from additional
talesmen, Mr.. Davis offered the objection
that since all the other members of the
regular panel had been excused and dis
charged the five might not be used as
nucleus around which to construct a jury
.impaneled for the term The result OF
the discharge of the jury would proba bly,
be the postponement of the trial until
next fall.
