MRS. NJ. GIRDLER
SURPRISED BY
QUICK RESULTS
New Tonic Produces Remark
able Change in Her Own as
Well as Husbands Case.
DISAPPEARED
Appetites Improved, Sleep Is
Sound Since Health Has
Been Restored.

An occurrence worthy of note was
the restoration of health to Mrs. May
Girdler. residing at Al Fulton street,
this city, who tells in the following
interesting manner what "Tona Vita
did for her and also her husband.
Mrs. Girdler said:
II was all run down, V II de-
bilitated. l suffered with nervous read
aches, had very little vitality and my
condition finally grew so serious that
we were greatly alarmed. l took
countless remedies and treatments at
health resorts without avail.
II was induced to try his remark
able new remedy, "Tona Vita, and
after taking it six weeks / feel like a
different woman. Improvement has
been rapid from the first dose, and |
can now perform tasks that | never
dreamed of doing in the old days of
distress and worry.
MY husband was also badly run
down as a result of his perilous adven-
lures with Hamilton, the aviator, but
iona Vita has helped him to recu-
perate. and we cannot say enough in
Its praise. We now feel like completely
changed persons. Our appetites have
improved, we are not V as for
merly, we sleep soundly and get up in
the mornings feeling cheerful. We can
heartily indorse 'Tona Vita"
Similar statements by dozens of New
ark people who have been benefited by
this remarkable new tonic are being
received by the specialists who are
here introducing "Tona Vita" These
specialists were confident that their
medicine would prove as successful in
this country as the original did in Eu-
rope, and the fact that 1t has become
so beneficial and popular in Newark
and other cities of the United States
has proven a source of great satisfac-
ton.
I'VE have predicted all along that
very ~ or woman affected with
nervous debility who would give 'Tona

conclusion that 1t would be a good idea
to issue a warning against the double
danger. The steps of the trolley cars
are rather high for one wearing a hob
BILE skirt; and for those who wear high
heels-Well, there is apt to be a spill
when they alight, unless the wearers
are experienced. But, the Public Serv-
ice Corporation says. I'VE can do Moth
ing to prevent these casualties, because
women of all times followed styles that
are dangerous to life and limb" What
a warning will do remains to be seen.

an officer. Frank Eckert, as years old,
of AIS South Tenth street. was before
Judge Herr in the Fourth Precinct
Police Court today. 1t was said that
Policeman Reed was attempting to ar

kert, of $40 South Eleventh street, fled,
and, 1t is alleged, Policeman Reed fired
a shot into the air. 1t was then that
Eckert is alleged to have interfered.
Sentence of both Drikert and Eckert
was suspended.

But Uncle Sam has not stopped
at being landlord and cook for
this community. The report for
1907, from which | quote above,
contains the following:
Laundry, Pies and Ice Cream
Supplies are furnished to the
hotels, messes, kitchens, and en-
ployes by the Commissary De-
partment, which has developed
into modern department store.
In connection with the commits
sary there are in operation dur
ing the year, cold storage and ice
plants, and well-equipped laundry
and bakery" The report for 1908
says: Through it's IN ir tie e n
branch stores, located at the
more important points along the
line of work, the commissary
supplies ice, meats, bread, pies,
cake, ice cream and groceries of
all kinds as we'll as laundry SER

tiles sold during the year aggre-
gated So, 735, 607. IL.
IAN average of 742 employees
were carried on the rolls of the
department, at an annual cost of
$430, 343. 75."
A Department Store Without
Profit.
This department store might
we'll serve as a text for socialist
sermon. 1t is a monopoly-has
eliminated competition. Probably
80 per cent of everything which
is bought by the 35, 900 employees
and their families is from the
commissary. Like the ''Subsist-
ence operations" it is not the
purpose to make a profit. Stock
is purchased in the open market
at wholesale. everything which a
modern department store carries
from porter-house steaks to silk
stockings, baby buggies and Ha-
vana cigars 10 per cent is added
to the cost to cover running eX-
penses. Here hundreds of miles
from home-you can buy almost
anything at 10 per cent above the
most favorable wholesale prices
in the States.
When | said they furnished
everything carried by modern
department store | overshot the
mark. They don't have shoddy
clothes nor adulterated goods.
They are not trying to get rich,
so they do not have to cheat their
customers. There is none of this
"just as good," talk over the
counters. You get what you
want, or are shown something
better. They have no interest in
selling you one brand rather than
another, except to give you salts
faction.
Some Amazing Advertising.
Perhaps the most amazin G
thing about this department store
is the way it advertises. There
is permanent catalog of its
standard articles and once in a
while a circular information
about new stock. And every
week a column or so of announce
ments of cold storage meats and
perishable vegetables printed in
The Canal Record. All this print
ing is done on the government
presses at cost. Compare this
weekly notice from the Record
with the spread eagle full page
ads, in the dailies at home and
figure up the economy of such a
system of selling things.
The hours during which COM
missaries are open are as follows:
Cristobal and Culebra, 8 a. m.
to 1890 p. M; 2 p. m. to z p. m.

pair their definite meaning There is much
chorus singing among the Indians and in
tribes there are choirs of picked singers who are
paid for their services when they appear at
any formal ceremonies 1t may surprise many
readers to learn that some of the Indian
munities are keen for music that they even
hold musical contests. A favorite form of COM
petition seeks to determine which singer or group
of singers can make the best showing in repro
ducing song with accuracy after having heard
1t but once.
The Indian songs are the property of clans So
cietes and individuals and the rights of own
ership rigdly enforced. In many instances
the privilege of singing any indviduallyowned
song must be purchased from the composer and
in the case of the songs of clans not only is the
right to sing the melodies restricted to members
of the clan but each clan has special officers to
insure the exact transmission and rendition Of
their songs, fine being imposed upon any men,
ber who makes a mistake in singing. Indian
women have composed many of the best of the
Indian songs including lullabies. spinning and

To Lauah at Tuberculosis.

Much ignorance prevails among the
unfortunate victims of tuberculosis
and families of these unfortunates, ac-
cording to the Los Angeles Herald.
For such as these the words spoken
by Adolphus Knopf should be chiseled
in imperishable granite. Or, better
still, they should be published in ev-
cry public print, viz "There is no
such thing as hereditary tuberculosis
The remedy is simple and all should
know 1t. 1t is one of the most easily
durable of all the chronic infectious
diseases. You can cure consumption
by the unstinted use of Gods good
fresh air, twenty-four hours in twenty
four, plenty of good food and plenty
of good water, inside and out. You
all know that cleanliness is next to
godliness. Children should get all
the fresh air possible. They should
sleep and play in the open air. They
should attend open-air schools"

Scales That Would Weigh a Thought

tiny mirror upon which beam of light is
focused. The result is that a shifting point of
light is thrown upon graduated black scale six
feet away. The weight of the tube, with the gas
in it, is then reRrded by the movement of this
pin-point of light on the scale
Then comes the interesting test. The gas is re-
leased from the tube, which is weighed again. 1t
is now found to weigh two hundred and fifty
thousandth of miigramme. seven thou
sand mllionth of an ounce less than 1t did when
the gas was In It, Therefore, the weight of this
Whit of gas was seven thousand millionth of an
ounce.
The smallest object that be picked up with
the most delicate forceps is piece of aluminium
wire far thinner than human hair, a twenty
fifth OF an inch in length which weighs four
teen hundred thousandth of ounce, 1t can
scarcely be seen, and 1t is difficult to detect wheh
er 1t is resting on the scales or not. section
OF aluminium wire weighing an eighty-four hun
dred thousandth of an ounce can be prepared. But
II is only visible in microscope. For this reason
weights of less than fourteen hundred thou
sandth of an ounce have to be registered In gases.

Sir William Ramsay, the distinguished English
scientist, has invented a pair of scales delicate
enough, literally, to weigh thought. Their rec
ord so far is one seven-millionth of ounce,
which is considerably lighter than most thoughts
usually The scales are kept under Sir Will
iam's own laboratory In small subterranean
chamber.
The room is kept in semi-darkness. So deli
cate are these wonderful scales that their bal
unce is disturbed by the alteration of temperature
caused by the turning on of an electric light at
the other end of the room. The operator has to
leave them for an hour in darkness-after he has
tptoed from the roof. so that his football should
not set up any vibration-and then read them
swiftly before any change In the temperature has
had time to affect them.
Hanging by one end of the beam of the scales
by a strand of silica fibre slender that 1t is
scarcely possible to see 1t is tray. Upon this is
placed minute glass tube, Imprisoned In the
tube is a Whit OF xenon gas discovered by Sir
William Ramsay. The movement of the scales
when the tube is dropped upon them is SO slight
that It cannot be detected at all by the eye. But

grinding songs and the songs of inspiration and
encouragement intended to be sung to the war
riors setting out for battle.
1t is usually difficult for listener of another
race to catch Indian song owing to the con-
iicting noise due, in great part, to the beating
of the drums There is usually difference in
time, the drum beats being designed to govern
bodily movements and mark the steps of the
ceremonial dancers, whereas the song voices the
emotion of the appeal. The drums may be beaten
in "a time and the song be in 3-4 time or the
beat be in 5S time against melody in 34 time,
the entire song may be sung to a rapid remolo
beating of the drum. The officials who have been
making study of Indian music are enthusiastic
