Mrs. Josephine Mckinney. of 1903
Union street, city, has this to say af-

The specialists who are explaining
the nature Of the tonic to the public
will leave Wilmington sooner than
they expected, owing to the rapid sue
cess of the tonic here
We expected 10 remain in Will

these specialists recently, but this
VIII not be necessary. as the demand
has grown so large that we would be
wasting our time to stay so long
we received the same reports from
specialists in other cities. Every

fire.

Company. 40f Market street, from
a. m. to s D. m. until We leave viii

to callers there.
The demand for this new tonic is
now the biggest thing Of the kind
ever seen in Wilmington. and each
succeeding day marks an increase of
interest. "Tona Vita" is proving a
complete revelation to the thousands
Of half-sick. rundown, listless men
and women in the city who did not
know exactly what was the matter
with them. It would be worth any
body's time TO visit the Miller Drug
company, the exclusive agents for
Wilmington. and inspect the large
number of testimonials from those

and who have undoubted faith in it

FORTUNE IN WASTE PRODUCT
Process Discovered for Converting
Ore Dust, Formerly Thrown Away,
Into BrIquettes.

AS industries grew older the prOfita

all along if it hadn't been too lazy
save the waste matter, or at least
make great reduction in it's total.
The French people are not more saw
ing than American because they are
brighter. but because they have been
forced by circumstances and neces-
sity to be. Perhaps that explains
why the great steel corporation has
just awakened to the fact that it has
been throwing away hundreds of thou
sands of dollars by letting the ore
dust from it's steel making operations
go to the waste dump and lie there
neglected. A process has been discov-
cred by which this ore dust can be
compressed into briquettes and util-
lied for making pig iron. The dust
is bound together with composition
composed principally of lime, which
acts as fiux In the smelling process
Along the terminal railroads of the
Carnegie Steel company, just one
branch of the United States Steel cor.
poration. are 100000 tons of ore dust
piled into dumps. Iron ore Is worth
81 ton, and pig iron, which is made
from the ore, Is worth considerably
more.

"Or if that is too much trouble, go
out to your cemetery, and, creeping

put me down there.

Shores Are casteless.

The cause and cure of snoring con-
Germ all classes, says the London
Chronicle. We have record that both
the house of lords and the workhouse
have suffered from it. There was a
former Duke of Norfolk who fell into
the habit of sleeping audibly in the
lords, and it happened that he was
hard at it on one occasion when a
bill concerning the parish of Great
Snoring, in Norfolk, came before the
house. The roar OF laughter with
which the bills title was greeted
awakened the duke and relieved his
fellow peers. At the other end of the
social scale we have the poor law com
mission minority's commentator OF
the ingenious workhouse master. who
divided the old men at night SO that
the snorers and the deaf men slept
Ia one ward and the rest in another.

LITTLE JACK IN A DILEMMA

Mother Had Used It.

A school mistress was trying to
make clear to her class the fundament.

dependence.
Now, boys" she said, II shall give
each of you three ordinary buttons.
Here they are" And she handed three
buttons to each member of the class
Now" she went on to explain, you
must think of the first button as repre-
senting Life; of the second as repre-,
senting Liberty; of the third repre-
senting the Pursuit of Happiness. To.
morrow shall ask you what the three
buttons signify"
True to her word, the school mis-
tress asked the class on the following
day regarding the names of the three
buttons She began by putting the
question to Jack, the largest boy of
the class. lad of about ten years of
age.
Nov, Jack, produce your buttons,
and tell me what they stand for"
Jack drew from his pocket two Of
the buttons and held up one at a
time. 'sThis-un, num-" he said, look
ing at the first button, SIS Life. An

The favorite place for the running
of these toy carts is a gradient, and
motorists have lately been tortured in
the stretches of Perth road and Ferry
road.
The little carts come darting out of
the side streets irrespective OF the
possible approach of a tram or motor
car, and the result is to give the most
careful driver touch of nerves.
Recently a Dundee motoring party
got scared three times on the route
named, and though the speed was
never more than five miles an hour, a
miracle only prevented a mishap, and
two ladies with the car arrived home

WHY MILK WILL TURN SOUR
Reason Is That Fluid Contains Small
Microbe That Makes an Acid
From the Sugar.

Perhaps you have often wondered
why 1t is that II you let milk stand
for short time. especially in warm
weather, 1t will turn sour and become
unfit to use in your tea or coffee, put
II it is boiled and then sealed up In
some sort of alright can or jar IL VIII
keep for any length OF time In any
weather
Many persons believe that thun-
derstorm will turn milk sour, ana II
you ask them what the thunder. wnlcn
is nothing but noise. can do to the
milk you will find that they have no
idea, but they just know 1T Is 30. 30
there!
The reason that milk turns sour IS
that 1t contains a small microbe that
makes an acid from the sugar IN the
milk When the milk Is boiled these
microbes are killed and the acid is
never developed. Warm air, and even
electricity In the air. is very favor
able to the rapid growth of these NIL
crobes. which are really a sort OF
plant, and all plants flourish In
warmth.
The acid which is made by these NIL
crobes In the milk is called Tactic
acid, and If the milk is good and clean
it is none the worse for turning sour,
although it is not just the thing to
put in tea. For some persons sour
milk is a much more wholesome drink
than sweet milk and is recommended
by some doctors for the cure OF GER
tain diseases. There is famous Cni-
nese statesman who believes he VIII
live to be one hundred and fifty be-
cause he drinks SO much sour mix
every day.

Artificial Sponue.

It is said that the Germans have
recently succeeded in making arti-
ficia. sponge, which takes the place
of the genuine article in many re
spects. Pure cellulose and zinc chic
ride make a pasty. viscuous mass
which is mixed with coarse rock
salt. A quantity of this is then placed
in mold and then pierced with
needles penetrating into the interior
in all directions. The salt is then re.
moved By prolonged washing, and
the result has the appearance and
qualities of sponge, absorbing water
in the same manner and drying when
its interior is freed Of the water. II
may also be used for altering pur'
poses.

ALCOHOL CAUSE OF DISEASE
Does More Than Anything Else 90
Render People incapable Of With
standing Many Ills.

One of the many prominent physi-
clans and chemists who are now
wont to take opportunity to frequently
pronounce against the use OF alcohohc
drink is Dr. G.. Sims Woodhead. pro-
fessor of pathology at Cambridge
university, England. DR.. Woodhead's
latest summing up is clear and striK-
ing, and is set forth as follows:
alcohol is perhaps the most i'm
portant factor in the production OIL
disease. 1t does more than anything
else to render people incapable OF
withstanding disease. Alcohol pre-
pares the human body for the attacks
of disease, just as did the extreme
heat Of the past season. the straw Tor
the engine spark to set on fire. II
can be proved that alcohol taken In
comparatively small quantities Inter
feres with the blood It alters the
fluids very slightly indeed. but certain
substances become less active and
are unable to do their work so well
as usual. The fight between disease
and these substances becomes unfair.
the germs make use of their opportuni-
ties, invade the body and set up dis
ease.
Take. for instance, the scourage oil
tuberculosis. During the last ten
years the death rate from consump-
ton has been declining. In London
the decline was 10 per cent; in Paris
2 per cent. 1t is significant in regard
to these figures that in this country
Great Brittany the drink bill has
during the same period dropped from
$22.30 per head of the population to
$16.55 per head, whereas In France 1t
is very different In this country with
the decline of the consumption OF al
cohol has come lower death rate
from tuberculosis. We dc not say this
was the sole cause, but we do remark
that the two things have gone on to-
gether. Better housing, clothing,
education, feeding, and conditions Of
life generally have had great deal to
do with the fall In the death rate. AT
the bottom of all, however, We have
the gradual diminution in the amount
Oh money spent Oh QTluk- LIS 10 a
tremendous gain to the nation.
I'VE, as medical men, Rave to do
all we can to point out to the people
that there is a very direct connection
between tuberculosis and the amount
OF alcohol consumed. To get rid OF
tuberculosis, we must, of course, get
rid Of the tubercle bacillus. The ba-
cillus can only do its work when
placed in favorable conditions, and al
cohol has the faculty of tilling and
preparing the ground for its growth.
Were no alcohol in the soil, the bacil-
lus would fall on very stony ground.
By taking alcohol the human being
renders himself more open to attack
by diseases of various kinds. and i'm
pairs his faculties often to- slight de-
gree, but sufficient to interfere with
his powers of doing good work. Alco-
hol we are satisfied is the doctors
worst friend because the doctor wants
to get his patients well. The total abb
stainer will get well more quickly
than If he takes alcohol, and great
many doctors believe 1t now. More
are coming to believe it every day"

QUEEN MARY STARTS A CULT

Owing to the incentive of Queen
Mary, who is a devotee Of the needle,
the cult Of stitchery prevails in So
ciety to an amazing extent. Every
other woman one meets is talking OF
needlework and the craft OF the
needle; it is a sort of obsession. The
mysteries Of satin stitch, padded and
otherwise, of crewel work, braid
work, COUGHING. herringbone, button
hole and French knots are discussed
by everybody. When Queen Mary
came back from India and the Dur
bar she found society as keen on
needlework as it used to be on bridge.
One of the cleverest needleworkers
is Lady Glenconner (sister-in-law of
Mrs. Asquith), who makes her own
designs and has original ideas for
decoration. She is fond OF big, bold
patterns in vivid colors and has
worked many bedspreads and cover
lets in William Morris patterns.
There is splendid specimen of her
work at Wilsford Manor, Salisbury, on

TO PHOTOGRAPH SEAL HUNTING

Harry Whitney, the sportsman who
wintered with the most northern Es-
Quimaux that he might go ahunting
into the musk-ox country and then re-
turned on board the steamer Roose-
welt when Commodore Peary came
back from his successful trip in quest
of the pole, sailed from here the other
day on a sealing trip with Capt. Rob-
ert A. Bartlett.
Mr.. Whitney carried with him a
motion-picture apparatus with which
he expects to get photographs OF
scenes connected with seal hunting.
AS far as known no one has ever I'M
dertaken this feat. Captain Bartlett,
who commanded the Roosevelt, has
managed many successful sealing
trips to the north.
Mr.. Whitney said of his plans on
the present trip: THAT all depends of
course on our luck The Neptune will
accommodate a cargo OF $4,000 seals,
but whether we will be lucky enough
tc bring back as many as that OF
