Story of the Grateful Carp

over this one:
Edward w. Palmer, who conducts
a commercial fishery at Sandusly, has
a pair of German carp, male and fe-
male. known as Hans and Gretchen,
that have the educated pigs, perform
ing seals and other trained animals
backed on the boards, While Palmer
was walking along the Cedar Point
beach about a year ago. he found the
carp partly imbedded IN sodt mud. He
noticed a large mink cautiously sneak
ing down upon them, with the inten-
ton. of course, of eating them. lt was
the work OF only a moment for him
TO dispatch the animal with his gun.
With n keen realization that they had
been saved. a look of ineffable tender
ness came into the carps' great brown
eyes. Palmer lifted them out Of the
mud and carried them tenderly to his
house on the beach. where he placed
them in a large tank of water. To his
surprise. they remained on the sur
face and followed him around, mani
festly endeavoring TO make him under
stand that they were sincerely appre-
ciative, ,.Palmer at once saw the pos.
sibilities of training the carp to dc
his bidding. At The opening OF the
present fishing season he had Hani

solid mass, a running sore. II was
awful, the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him TO
keep himl from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last We
remembered Cuticura Remedies. We
got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Resell
vent, box OF Cuticura Ointment, and
a bar OF Cuticura Soap. We gave the
Resolvent as directed washed the head
with the Cuticura Soap, and applied
the Cuticura Ointment. We had not
used half before the child's head was
clear and free from eczema, and il has
never come back again. His head was
healthy and he had a beautiful head OF

very good for the hair. IL makes the
hair grow and prevents falling hair.

DISEASES OF LUNGS
CURED in FEW DAYS
Germ Poison Injections Base
Of the New Remedy
Being Used

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 6.-Remark-
able and almost instantaneous cures
are said TO have been made in severe
cases OF tuberculosis, pneumonia and
typhoid fever al South Pacific Hospital
in the last month by n new method OF
treatment discovered by Dr. Schafer
of Bakersfield
The principle is that the bacteria
throw off certain substances while
growing-poisons that are eXudod 10
preserve the organisms life.
IL was Dr. Schafer's idea that il
these exudations could be formed
into serums capable Of injection into
human systems affected by disease
caused by like bacteria Il would have
the effect Of Immediately arresting
the bacteria's growth
Working on this principle Dr. w.
B. Coffee, Dr. Samuel Gardner. DR..
Philip King Brown and Dr. II. II. Glib
bon, with the advice and assistance
OF DR.. Schafer, innoculated nine South
ern Pacific Hospital patients suffering
with pneumonia with liquid extract
made from metabolic products given
off by the pneumonia germ I'm the
progress OF growth. In every case the
patient was cured. several of the cures
being within "a hours OF the serum's
injection.
A tuberculosis patient was pro-
nounced cured within four days after
the Shafer remedy had been applied.
Similar success with typhoid fever is
reported
Conservative practitioners who have
followed the experiments are astound-
ed by the results accomplished.

In order to eliminate the present

Park, the company will inaugurate a
new plan with the coming summer.
Instead OF running through the park
and making a turn and coming back,
the cars will discharge their passen-
gers I'm one enclosure and move to an-
other where passengers, just enough to
be carried. will be loaded These en-
closures will be fitted with turnstile
entrances and exits and the turnstiles
will register the number OF persons
getting off and on the cars
A small section of the park will be
fenced in for the purpose, and It is ex-
pected that. accidents will be avoided
In the future The plan is already in
use IN many cities and is proving very
satisfactory.

POSTAL BANKS
A BIG SUCCESS
Hitchcock Wants to Extend
the System to Many
Other Cities
DEPOSITS GREATER
THAN WAS EXPECTED

WASHINGTON. Feb. eff the
necessary appropriations were avail
able / would establish postal savings
banks tomorrow IN five hundred addi-
tional cities and towns OF the United
States"
This statement was made by Post
master General Hitchcock I'm view Of
reports thus far received concerning
the first months operation OF the pos
tai savings system. The reports are
2 most gratifying 10 Mr.. Hitchcock and
20 the other officers OF the postal saw
ings service. They are regarded as
demonstrating that the new system
already has passed the experimental
stage.
The certificate OF deposit plan,
which is an innovation in the trans
action OF postal savings business. Is
shown TO be admirably adapted TO it's
purpose. IL is found TO be readily
understood by depositors and easily
handled by pOstmasters.
The total depositors in the forty
eight existing postal banks for the
month OF January will amount TO ap-
proximately $50 600 This is an aver
age OF about $1,000. Assuming that
this average viii be maintained
throughout the year. the aggregate OF
annual deposits will be close 10
three-quarters Of n million dollars
| This. too. will be the situation in the
small offices where the banks are now
ino peration. Il is assumed by tn,
officers Of the system that the de.
posits will be correspondingly great
er when the service is extended tC
first class Offices.
The average amount of deposits be
ing received at each office. as indi
Gated by the January returns, is larg
er than the corresponding average
for the British system of postal saw
ings depositors In 1908. the most sue
cessful year in the history Of tha
system.
A large majority Of the depositorl
in January were foreign Americans
many of whom have been IN the habi
Of sending their savings TO their ma
tive countries for deposit. An i'm
portant result of the system. there
fore, is TO diminish the outflow fron
the United States Of such funds.
In view Of the successful operation
of the new system during its frs
month Postmaster General HitchcOc
has recommended TO the Congress tn
appropriation OF S1,00O,00O to be inn
mediately available for the eXtensio
of the postal saving system to cor
siderable number of Post Offices IN
patrons Of which are clamoring fo
= the new banks.
