One of the most prevalent afflic-
tions of this day and age is rupture
(hernia). The number of those un-
fortunates afflicted with rupture is
legion. People usually attach too little
Importance to rupture, not realizing it's
prevalence nor understanding the
cause.
Rupture is generally caused by
severe strain from lifting too heavy a
weight or in other ways by which GER
tain muscles of the body are strained.
One may prevent rupture by exercising
due care, but once afflicted visit to a
specialist is essential if one desires
a cure. Go to a specialist who can do
and has done. To step into a store and
select a truss is decidedly not wise, as
no two cases of rupture are alike, and
an attempt to fit yourself will even
tually cause you additional trouble.
A specialist in rupture can and does
cure through modern methods. Once
cured a patient is not likely to be rup-
tured again, for experience is a great
teacher.

because many, especially the weak, fall
into the error of looking for foods that
will build up their strength and mus

exercise is absolutely necessary to in
crease the tone and build up the vital
and muscular energies and strength of
the body, and by no other means can
this be done. Those who are too weak
to exercise would need passive exer-
else for a time from either a mechan-
ical or human source, preferably the
latter. This short article is far from
dealing fully with the subject, but it
is hoped that interest may have been
stimulated in a matter the Importance
of which cannot be overestimated.

sonality may serve to subdue our ex-
citement and relieve the tension of
nerves too highly strung.
Just as there are some poisons in the
chemical laboratory which have no
place in medicine, likewise there are
some personalities so irritating or
again so noxious that nothing but
harm ever comes from contact with
them.
The best "cure-all' personality is
that of the friend of wholesome, tonic
cheerfulness. The writer has one such
friend now in mind, the sound of whose
voice is tonic, the light of whose eye
is a balm, and the hearty grip of whose
hand is a whole pharmacopeia.

MORTALITY AFTER FORTY

"The stress of modern life is not the
cause of increased mortality" said a
life insurance examiner at the recent
meeting of life insurance examiners at
Des Moines. Neither Is alcohol, tobac-
so, tea, coffee nor overwork. Many
modern improvements tend to saving
of mental and physical strain, but we
must get back to simpler diet to de-
crease mortality after forty. This is
the opinion of the highest authority on
longevity and mortality, and agrees
with the conclusions frequently stated,
arrived at by experiment and clinical
experience; also with the conclusions
stated in regard to cancer and it's in
creasing mortality, keeping pace with
the increasing complexity of our diet.

NO LONDON SUPPER CLUBS.
The Scheme to Provide Drinks After
1890 Never a Success.

London Letter to the New York
Sun: Contrary to an opinion common
ly held in New York, London does not
obtain relief from the effects of the
early closing laws by forming supper
clubs. There were such clubs fifteen
years ago, but nowadays there are no
supper clubs in London where the
thirsty can with slight Formally of in
itiation get drinks after 1890 o'clock
in the morning, when all restaurants
and saloons are closed ordinarily, the
closing hour on Saturday night being
midnight and on Sunday night IL
o'clock.
The police long ago made the life
of supper clubs impossible, and there
is not one now in existence in London,
The average Londoner, when his res
taurant and pub" closes must go
home or to his club, and London clubs
with a single exception are closed at
2 o'clock in the morning. One club
keeps open until o'clock in the morn
ing. Fake clubs cannot exist nova
days.
The police permit two clubs in the
vicinity of Leicester Square, the heart
of London's tenderloin, to keep open
all night One of them is patroniZed
by the minor artists and stage hands
of the music halls and theaters near
by, the other the police permit to eX-
list because they know it's regular and
casual patrons and can lay hands on
any one of them when wanted. Both
clubs are unattractive places and wo-
men are vigorously excluded after
midnight.
Efforts to conduct even semi-Bohe-
milan supper clubs fail. One started
recently in popular west end thor
oughfare didn't last a year. There
were not enough thirsty and hungry
souls abroad after midnight to meet
expenses.
The fact is that Londoners have be.
come so used to the restrictions of the
excise laws that they have formed the
habit of going to bed early. The re.
putable clubs, too, are deserted at
midnight and there are only two good
clubs in London where the bar re.
ceipts between midnight and 2 o'clock
in the morning. their closing hour
are sufficient to pay for the electric
| light consumed.

ionable weddings scheduled for next

lin Fish of New York to John w.
Cutler of Brookline, the former Har-

HOW DUMAS WON A WAGER.

From the London Chronicle: For
rapidity of composition the prize
among novelists must be awarded to
Alexander Dumas, who died with more
than 5000 books to his credit, in all
of which he had some share. Accord
ing to Arthur F. Davidson, one of his
biographers, he often declared that
when once he had mapped out in his
mind the scheme of novel or a play
the work was practically accomplish
ed, since the mere writing of it pre-
sented no difficulty and could be per
formed as fast as the pen could travel.
Someone disputed this; the result was
a wager.
Dumas had in his head the plan of
the "Chevalier de la Maison Rouge
of which he had not yet written a
word, and he made a bet of 100 louis
that he would write the first volume of
the novel in seventy-two hours. The
volume was to be formed by seventy.
five large foolscap pages, each page
containing forty-five lines and each
line fifty letters. In sixty-siX hours
Dumas had done the work in his fair
flowing hand, disfigured by no era,
sions-and the bet was won with six
hours to spare.

LEoPoLD's WIDOW TO WE'D.
Banns Published for Deathbed Wife Of
Late King Of Belsians.

Paris, Aug. 27-While still greatly
regretting the death of King Leopold
of the Belgians, Baroness Vaughan is
soon to wed Emmanuel Durier,
French citizen who SO far as is known
is without any profession. The banns
have been published at Arronville,
near the historic castle of Balincourt,
which was a gift to the prospective
bride from the aged monarch during
his lifetime.
The baroness is only q years of age
and lacking in experience in worldly
affairs. Her friends say she finds it
difficult to manage the huge fortune
left her by Leopold and she fears that
the legion of lawyers who have been
fighting her in the courts will even
tually swallow up not only the inter
terest but the principal Of her estate.
Durier is said to be shrewd bust
ness man. The two sons of the bar
oness have been sent to school.
Since her dramatic flight from Bel
GUM on the death of King Leopold,
which closed her regal career, the
baroness has been living sumptuously,
although in the greatest privacy, in
the Chateau Balincourt at Arronville.
The penniless sisters of the baron
ess, who are living in Paris, are stupe-
fed at the news, and express them
selves as amazed that she would mar
ry so soon after the death of the
king.
The career of the Baroness Vaughn
reads like a novel. The daughter of
janitor, she rose to be the acknowl-
edged wife of the Belgian king. The
marriage took place on December Z,
while Leopold was on his deathbed,
in fact, just eleven days before his
death.
The thirteenth child of a family be-
longing to the lower class of "la Pc
tite bourgeoise,' though arrived at a
dazzling degree of fortune, Blanche
Caroline DelacroiX never, so far as
is known, exhibited the least intention
of alleviating their lot and all Of them
speak of her with unmistakable cold
ness.
Her eldest sister, Nine. Laure Lefe-
bre, so years old, was until recently
a commission merchant at the central
markets of Paris. Another, Nine.
Maria Laluitt, keeps fruit and vege-
table stand in Gobelins market.
Still another sister of the baroness
is Nine. Juliette Verger, who formerly
was a flower girl and who now is the
wife of waiter in cafe in the Place
de Clythy.
The only surviving brother of the
baroness is waiter in another cafe
| not far from the Place Republique.
He alone of the family has something
| kindly to say of the widow of the Bel
gian king, whom he called. half jocu-
larly, his brother-in-law.

NO "oLD MAIDS" TOWN.
But Few Females Are Found to Be
Unmarried in Omaha.

Omaha, Aug. 27.-Census returns at
hand show that if women desire to
live the lives of old maids this city
is the last place where they should
locate. These figures show that but
9 percent of the females of Omaha, be-
tween the ages of 20 and 2S years, are
unmarried. Here it is believed that
no other city of the same size can
boast of such a record.
In Omaha the young men and wo-
men do not cotton" up to each other
any more than in other localities, yet
they are not afraid of each other.
Mentally the men and women are held
TO be on an equal plane and natural
ly seek the company of one another,
which sooner or later results in matri-
mony.

The worms, II was said. have gone
