FAITHS CURATIVE POWER
NOTED HEALTH EXPERT
GIVES REASON FOR BIG
SUCCESS IN MEDICINE

Tremendous success has attended the
organization of the new Munyon Hope
Cult" Professor Munyon claims that he
has secured more converts than he even
anticipated and says that his Hope
Cult is growing in leaps and bounds. 1t
is said that the total membership of the
association throughout the United States
is now well over the half million mark.
In statement for publication Prof.
Munyon said:
II want to talk to every sick, ailng and
respondent person In this city. | want
10 preach my new creed to them. 1
want TO tell them about my new philoso-
ply of health, which is the fruit of a
lifetime OF study and experience in deal
ing with sick folk.
Il want to expound the Great Truth
that | have learned that there is more
curative power In an ounce of Hope than
IN pounds of Dope. That sick people
should not take medicine except as a
medium through which the great cura-
i've power OF Hope may be made effec-
i've. Medicines are necessary in the
present state of the worlds progress be-

Galluses.

1t is claimed that the galluses are
disappearing as feature of the ap-
parel. They are not artistic, and GER
tainly not aristocratic; that is what is
claimed. The idea is that If trousers
is properly cut and fitted 1t sets so
neatly on the hips that 1t needs no
support, and therefore the presence of
suspenders indicates that the mans
apparel is the work of cheap tailor,
which is certainly not aristocratic.
If suspenders are to go. there is a
better reason than this, and that IL in
the trick of the trade that leaves a
weak point in the suspenders-a place
that is always breaking and annoying
the wearer until his patience is gone.
Then he gets belt and goes without
suspenders, out Of pure disgust He
would rather hitch up his trousers
than tie up his galluses.
But this article of apparel is not dis
appearing-not as long as ready-made
clothing is the Joy of most men. The
suspenders necessarily go with this
habit, since the kidlike adjustment
about the hips is impossible.

In moment the Englishman came
back, followed by Livingstone Haldane
in great state of excitement.
"Mr. Gormly," he cried as he burst
into the room, not seeing the chief
who sat on the other side of the open
door and somewhat sheltered by IT.

Haldane.

story, has he?" growled the young
man.
HE has,"
"And what have you done?"
"Chaloner is preparing a statement
that l have issued for the press"
BE warned by me, Mr.. Gormly,"
said the chief, his voice a singular
mixture Of entreaty and bullying,

other basis. II we let you get the
election and keep quiet about this
thing, maybe we can get together

"Somes," said Gormly, "show this
man the door, and if he opens his
mouth or says another word, give
you leave to accelerate his exit in any
manner you may desire"
The chief of police opened his
mouth.
Remember" said Gormly, ''if he
says single word, he is in your
hands,"
AT my feet, sir, beg pardon, sir"
returned Somes.
Without making sound, the chief
turned, and, followed closely by the
valet who hung on his TANKS like a
bulldog, his fingers itching to grasp
his collar, the officer strobe from the
room.
