length. Five Or six elephants stood in line would not be any longer than

WOULD HARDLY BE POPULAR.

t" ~-
The recall, as a political measure, is
much discussed at the present time.
but The New York World springs q
new one, which does not stand even
as much show Of popularity as the po-
Iitical one. The World says:
An eminent scientist addressing the
Rocky Mountain club after dinner told
them of some of the probable marvels
of coming science, and added: 1.-THE
time will come when a mar may be
placed in cold storage. kept as eggs are
now kept, and entirely ~resuscitated
when needed again"
The theory is old in imaginative lit
erature. Many a a has told
the story of, a man recalled to life; a
frozen pirate warmed back to activity
is not unfamiliar to anybody's boy
hood reading. The one interesting fea-
ture of the problem al presented to
the Rocky Mountain club is that the
stored individual would keep about as
well as an egg keeps in cold storage
and be recalled when needed"
That makes an important difference,
for in the the resusi-
tated come back without being
needed and when. least expected.
But who would put himself in cold
storage and take chances of being
needed at some. future time? Before
any OF the members of this club tests
the plan by personal experiment let
him diligently inquire whether there is
anybody in the club who will need him
enough a year from now to think of
resuscitating him.

Don't let your entire system be poi

continual dropping of the germ in

leads to catarrh Of the stomach and

Get a SO cent bottle Of Ely's Cream
Balm from your druggist today, and
you will get relief a few minutes after
using it. Your headtche and cold viii
vanish, and in a short time you viii
be completely rid OF catarrh. Give it

1t is perfectly harmless.
