ANGRY FISH BITES ANGLER
Brooklyn Man, the Sufferer, Sends
Head to Pasteur Institute, Fear
ing Rabies.

Whether fish can have dydro-
phobia is question that Fred
Henry of Hancock street. Brooklyn.
would like to have settled, and fol
that reason he has sent to the Pas
teur institute in New York the head
of a pickerel that bit him at Swarts-
wood lake recently. says Newton IN.
~ correspondent Of the New York
Press. Henry was fishing in boat
that was trifie leaky and he took off
his shoes and socks. His first catch
was pickerel weighing three pounds.
When he yanked the fish 1t Topped
around in the bottom of the boat in
lively fashion.
As Henry was batting up again he
felt q sharp pain in one Of his feet.
and. looking down, saw that the pick
erel had made a jump and fastened
It's teeth in his toe. He tried to kick
the fish away. but the pickerel held
on and Henry had to use the handle
of his landing net to pry open the
fish's jaws before he got free of it.
The toe started to swell where the
teeth had punctured it, and Henry be-
came worried. He says he thinks 1t
possible that the pickerel may have
had hydrophobia and as a precaution-
ary measure. he sent the head to the
Pasteur institute.

CURED OF SCALP TROUBLE

stratford. Cal.-"My daughters
scalp trouble began as pimples and
festered. then formed scales. Her
scalp itched and she had dandruff.
Her hair came out in punches. falling
entirely In spots as large as a silver
dollar. A kind of scab would form in
little white crusts on the spots. These
spots would be sore. Knowing tho
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
were good for the skin and scalp. we
washed her scalp each morning with
Cuticura Soap and then applied the
Cuticura Ointment. rubbing it in well
with the hand. 1t helped from the
start. I used one box Of Cuticura
Ointment and one cake Of Cuticura
Soap. then her scalp was cured and
her hair grew again. 1t has been moro

FOOD CONVERT
Good Food the True Road to Health.

The pernicious habit some persons
still have Of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve stomach trouble keeps up
the patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army of dyspeptics. f--
Indisestion-dyspepsia,--is caused
by what is put into the stomach in the
way Of improper. food, the kind that
10 taxes the strength Of the digestive
organs they are actually crippled.
When this state is reached. to resort
to tonics is like whipping a tired
horse with a big load. Every addi-
tional effort he makes under the lash
diminishes his power to move the
load.
Try helping the stomach by leaving
on heavy. greasy. indigestible food
digested, full Of strength for nerves
and brain. in every grain Of 1t. There's
no waste of time nor energy when
Grape-Nuts il the food.
II am an enthusiastic user Of Grape
Nuts and consider 1t an ideal food"
writes q Maine man:
"I had nervous dyspepsia and was
all run down and my food seemed to
do me but little good. From reading
an advertisement tried Grape-Nuts
food, and. after few weeks steady
use Of 1t, felt greatly improved.
Am much stronger, not nervous
now, and can do more work without
feeling so tired, and am better every
way.
Il relish Grape-Nuts best with cream
and use four -heaping teaspoonfuls as
the cereal part of a meal. Il am sure
there are thousands Of persons with
stomach trouble who would be bene-
flied by using Grape-Nuts." Name CIV

MEANING OF "AT HALF MAST"
Al First Universal Symbol Was Token
Of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that when
ever a prominent person dies. espe-
cially II he is connected with the gov
ernment, the flags on public build
lngs are hoisted only part OF the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and Ex-
press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between a flae
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags were used in war 1t
has been the custom to have the flag
of the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior Or vanquish
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten 1t hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag Of the victors
to be placed above 1t on the same
pole. This was token not only OF
submission, but of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
dier died flags were lowered out OF
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life Of all kinds.
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag OF the great
conqueorr of all-the angel OF death.

ChiId's Popularity Explained.

A winning lottery ticket of $780,
900. in connection with the Mobiles
Bank was recently presented for
payment at the State Bank in St
Petersburg. and 1t now transpires
that the owner is an eight-year-old
orphan, an inmate of the orphanage
at Pskoff. The lottery ticket was her
sole possession. Her relatives have
hitherto done nothing for the child.
but when the news of her good for
tune became known they were one
and all eager to adopt her. The au-
thorities have placed her in the
charge of an arch-priest, distant
connection of her father.

Sounded Like Him.

They tell story out my way abou,
Kahsan who. in the old days when
Mark Hanna was prominent, went to
church. took his seat in a rear pew
and went to sleep. When he woke up
he awoke with a start, and he must
have thought himself at political
meeting.
The minister had just thundered.
ITO him that hath shall be given and
to him that hath not shall be taken
away even that which he hath
who said that?" asked the bewil-
dered, politician. who had Just awak-
ened. :
The minister stopped, looked at tho
sleepy interrupter and then said lacon-
ically, Mark"

Brother Was IyIno.

Police courts are not always marked
py an atmosphere of piety, but the ex.
ception to the rule occurred in a court
where very religious man, against
whom one of the neighbors had made
a complaint. was being tried for some
trivial offense. The complaining wit
ness was called to the stand to relate
MS side of the story, and the defen-
dant listened closely for several min
utes. Then his personal feelings over
rode court etiquette, and he rushed up
to the Judge. fervently exclaiming:
Your Honor. the brother is lying!
Praise the Lord!" ,
