THE POWER OF SUGGESTION
Remarkable Consequences that Re-
suited Because of MixuP OF
Doctors Letters.

A physician is fond of relating a
personal experience showing the pow
er of suggestion. According to Health
Culture, he says that a young clerk
tagged from overwork and the heat
of a trying summer, consulted him as
to his condition.
He put the usual questions to him.
examined his heart and lungs, gave
him certain instructions and told him
that he would receive more detailed
directions by telephone or letter on
the morrow.
The next day the patient received
a letter from the physician telling
him that one of his lungs was seri-
ously affected and that his heart was
not quite as it should be. He was told
to put his affairs IN order; that
though he might live for weeks, or
even months, 1t was important that
he should leave nothing Of import
ance unsettled.
Naturally such news, practically
a death warrant, quite unnerved the
patient. He stayed that day from
the office, and in short time was In
a most serious state. His people,
alarmed, sent for the doctor.
On his arrival the physician was as
founded "Why, my friend, what have
you been doing to yourself? You GER
tainly were all right yesterday"
"My lungs, DOCTOR" said the patient.
Lungs, fiddlesticks! There's moth
ing at all the matter with your lungs"
replied the doctor.
why" said the patient, you told
me in your letter that my lungs were
so seriously affected that l had but
a few days more to live" And he
produced the fateful letter.
well" said the doctor, here is
a pretty mess. / wrote you to take
few weeks vacation at the seashore
or in the mountains, and you would
be as good as new in short time.
The letter you received was intended
for another man. My secretary must
have mixed up the envelopes"
AS may be imagined, the patient
was overjoyed. 1t is needless to say
his recovery was rapid.
And the other, he with the weak
lungs and a not too strong heart, on
receiving the letter intended for the
other man, went at once to the noun
tains, with the result that, though
years have passed, he is in reasona'
bly, good condition.

New Baseball Talk.

Irving G. Norwood Is great. base
ball fan, says a Washington letter,
and is an expert in all the slang
phrases known to followers of the
game. At one of the closing games OF
the season played in Washington he
sat next to to a little old man who,
perched gingerly on the edge OF his
seat. watched every play with breath
less interest At one stage OF the
game, a runner tried to steal home
and was called out, although the de-
cision was a close one. In few mo-
ments, however, it was noticed that
the catcher, after tagging the runner,
had dropped the ball. During the dis
pute that followed among the players
as to the justice of the umpire's de-
cision, the little man leaned over to
Norwood and asked in squeaky
voice: "Will you kindly inform me
whether the catcher's dropping the ball
vitiates the occurrence" "Of all
the baseball talk I ever heard" said
Norwood afterward, that took the
cake"

a PJebeian Queen.

The wife of King Nicholas of Monte
negro is the daughter of a farmer,
thus making her a plebeian queen in
the eyes of the other European royal
ties. Queen Milena is, however, an in
tellectual woman and will look after
her queenly duties in way that will
no doubt give satisfaction to all. She
is the mother of nine children, one of
whom is the queen of Italy; two are
wives of Russian grand dukes and
one the wife of Prince Joseph Of Bat
tenberg. She is still very beautiful
woman.

Woman,s Riqhts in Japan.

In the higher education lies, unfor-
tunately, not only the promise OF a
betterment of all the &C editions of
their life in the future, but a present
seed Of discord. The japanese still
retain their old demand upon their
women of obedience, dependence on
and service for husband and parents
in-law. The Japanese girl is expected
to marry young, to marry the man Sc
lected for her. to live with his father
and mother and bend her will to
theirs, and to live a life devoted en-
tirely to them, to him, and to her
children. Education, fortunately or
unfortunately, inevitably brings with
it a feeling of independence, and indie
pendence is not only dangerous under
those conditions, but entirely con-
trary to the Japanese ideal More
over, early marriages interfere with
education, to the great disgust of
those girls who love it and want to
graduate; and education also raises
ideals in a girls mind that the man
selected for her husband cannot come
up to. 1t is easy TO see that the in
evitable result will be a readjustment
of the conditions in time.

SOMETIMES PAINLESS
Serious Stomach Trouble Comes or
Many People Unaware

Many symptoms of dangerous stom-
ach trouble are so painless that they
are hardly noticed. That is why the
trouble so often reaches a really SER
ious stage before anything is done to
stop its onward progress.
If you ever notice such painless SYM
ptoms as fullness after eating, heav-
mess in stomach, irregular appetite,
coated tongue, bad breath or taste and
belching. then you really have stom-
ach trouble and should take something
to stop it at once.
An effective home made tonic does
the business and saves you quite a lit
tie money at the same time. Get a
two ounce bottle of Logos Stomach
Tonic Extract( concentrated) at any
first class drug store. Mix the con-
tents of this bottle with enough pure
water to make pint, and add two tea
spoonfuls of ordinary baking soda.
Simple, isn't it? Yet it stops all stom-
ach trouble in fifty.
The concentrated extract costs you
but fifty cents; you make from it med
icine worth couple of dollars at least
