Consumption Can Be Cured

A specific has at last been discover ed which will positively cure con sumption. "Tnberclecide" completely eliminates the tuberculosis germs from the human body.
 Results are extremely prompt. Even in severe cases, the tubercle bacilli have been entirely destroyed within eight months. In others. marked i'm provements have been noted within two to six weeks. This improvement continues until. complete cure is eff fected.
 We have positive proof of our sue cess. Write for full particulars. Tuberclecide Co.,, 702 International Bank Bldg, Los Angeles, Cal.

M nesses since the first
 sSxN human eye measured their verdure clad heights, tramp ed the forest from the early dawn in search of the antlered monarch that was wont to roam these noun tains and valleys in the days when settlers were few. It was a use less quest. Years of unbridled slaughter had thinned out the ma estic buck and the gentle doe until the hunters far outnumbered them.
 While classed as savage old hunter, yet beneath his tattered garments there beat a warm and tender heart, and remose crept over his bent and withered form and he buried his shaggy head in his hands and wept like a child. Until now he failed to realize that he and the roebuck were pioneers together and even though occasion ally he took one of their number for food, they browsed around his cabin in the aspens and held no fear of him.
 While thus in penitent form of anguish his form shook; trumpet like call aroused him from his spell and a fourteen prong buck thrust a massive head out of a clump of aspen. The hunter in- stinctively reached for his gun, but one glance at those large brown eyes was enough. He sat spellbound, while countless num- bers of bucks, does and nimble lawns came into view. Some bore scars, the marks of combats among themselves, while others bore the telltale marks of the leaden missile. Some were old and lame and halt, while others were crippled and shaggy. Some were young and innocent and nimble.
 The famous white deer of Sit greaves was there and the red deer from the north. The scared shook their heads at the hunter in angry mien and the others stood peace fully and tranquil. The rustling of leaves and breaking of twigs announced that the congregation was still increasing, when the mag nificent animal that first appeared, trumpeted, and all became still as death. To the utter amaze ment of the grizzled pioneer the animal spoke in his own tongue:
 Venerable hunter, you are doubtless dumbfounded' by this occurrence, yet no need to be so. l am the animal you spared years ago, the one who pastured about your lonely cabin with my com panions in the silvery moonlight nights of the years gone by. We have known each other years, yet only distantly. 1 cease dto finger around your home when our native

heath became infested with count less hunters seeking our kind. We lost scores of our dear compan- ions, and many, armed with rifles, slew six or eight of us in one sea- son, regardless of laws or scarcity of our numbers. Terrified, We drifted into the land of the ancient Zuni and in peace we grazed about their ancient ruins until time after time we were forced to flee the nimrods.
 From bands that would have put the now almost extinct buffalo to shame, we have been cut down to groups of two and three. Our near kinsman, the beautiful spot ted antelope, was very nearly a recollection only, when the ter ritorial legislature enacted law whereby no antelope were to be kill ed inside period of five years, and though not as scarce as we are today when that law took effect, they have increased very slowly to the present time and one year of frenzied hunting will practically put them out of the territory's fauna.
 We are dumb and cannot cry out against the slaughter being made, and 1, who have known you these years, make a plea for this sea of antlered heads about me, who came at my call from all the limits of your territory. ask that you speak with those in authority and unless it is your WISH mat we loO Sluh liltO d HiClil- ory, plead with them to give at least five year period of lawful protection. As signal that you will help the helpless, tie q white cord on the fourteenth prong from left to right.
 The aged hunter tremblingly arose, entered his humble cabin, procured the cord and complied with the quadruped's request.
 After fulfillment of the signal the forest king again trumpeted and all the followers disappeared as suddenly as they came.
 Again the hunter entered his cabin home and accidentally glanc- ed in the mirror. The wrinkles were gone. The gray hair resum- ed it's brown and the bent figure once more stood erect. In happy exultation of youth he opened the door to observe that beautiful flowers grew that not before were there. He fulfilled his promise.

The Rarbsr,s Pole.

The BARRIERS pole has a strange
origin and one which accounts for
the red and white stripes with
which it is often painted. In years
gone by i was the usual custom
among BARRIERS to combine surgery
with their other accomplishments.
and the striped pole is the modern
representation of the bleeding staff
carried BY the old time barber in
the practice Of his arts. II was the
custom then of village practitioners
to give staff to their patients to
grasp when bled. The stripes were
formed by the tape which was
wound round the staff when not in
use.

TILE PAGES.
They Were Unknown Until After the
Invention Of Printing.

They Were Unknown Until After The
Invention of Printing.
The most surprising thing in the
history Of the tide page is the fact
that 1t was utterly unknown until a
few years after the invention Of
printing. In the days before that
great era. when all books we're in
manuscript. no scribe ever thought
OF prefacing his work with a sep
arate page or leaf devoted TO the
title.
When printing took the place of
writing changes came gradually.
In many early printed books there
was still scope for handiwork. Ini-
tial letters were left for the Grub
risher.' as he was called, to deco
rate and illuminate BY hand.
As books multiplied this practice.
Of course, soon died out. Occasion
ally wealthy and luxurious book
owners would employ skillful illu-
minator to adorn the pages and
margins Of a printed hook Just as
in former days manuscripts had
been Illuminated.
The manuscript practice of sur
rounding the text with an orna-
mental border was also often ap-
Piled to early printed books. The
introduction OF the title page show
ed the same mingling OF old and
new.
Printing WIS invented about
1850, but no title page. properly so
called. is knowa before ITO. In
the earliest EXAMPLES the title is ei-
Their, as in manuscripts. given in
the first two or three lines Of the
first page. to be Immediately fol-
lowed BY the printed text, or is
simply. as it has been called. a Ia
bel-that is, It consists Of a very
brief title at the top of blank
page.
There was one curious exception.
4 calendar" printed by Ratdolt
at Venice in 1916 has a full title
page in the modern style. This re-
markable page consists Of an intro
ductory poem surrounded on three
sides BY ornamental borders. with,
at the bottom, the place Of printing
and date-"Venetiis, 1+76''-and
the names Of the printers.
But this is quite an exceptional
instance. Such d title page is hard
" found again for twenty years and
did not become common till about
1920, more than forty years later.
A particularly noticeable feature
in MANY title pages OF the sixteenth
and early seventeaata .spSEburies is
the length of the desc+p+;yc titles,

ly long winded. The whole page is

WHEN RAILROADS WERE new.

The bride who achieved so much
was Mrs. Henry /. PierSon OF Ram
apo. \. Y. Str. and Mrs. Pierson
were in Charleston. S. c.. early in
January, 1881. on their wedding
tour. When Mrs. Pierson heard
that a steam locomotive was to
make its first trip with a train load
of passengers from Charleston to
Hamburg, SIX miles away, she was
eager to take the ride, and her hus-
band agreed.

Young Mrs. Person gave it as
her opinion that if a steam railroad
were built it would be possible 70

twenty-fom hours. At first the
men folks were inclined TO smile at
this, but they were thoroughly i'm
pressed with the value Of the loco
motive as described by this ardent
advocate.
Mrs. Persons girlish enthusiasm
was the determining factor which
erysallized the ideas of those men
and led them to take steps which
finally resulted in the building Of
what is now known as the Erie
road. which BY uniting the ocean
with the great lakes became the
worlds first trunk line.
