SECRET WORKER
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Works.

Coffee is such secret worker that
il is not suspected as the cause of
sickness CIR disease, but there is
very sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had
been using it for some time and was
an invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at the root of the tree and ordered it
discontinued with instructions to use
Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says. 1--WE found that
was the true remedy for his stomach
and heart trouble and we would have
gladly paid hundred times the
amount of the Doctors charge when
we found how wise his Judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead Of cot
fee was begun about a year ago, and
1t has made my husband a strong,
we'll man. He has gained thirty-fve
pounds in that time and his stomach
and heart trouble have all disappeared.
1--WE never tire of telling orr friends
OF the benefit we have received from
leaving off coffee and using Postum in
its place" Name given by Postum

POLICE SKEPTICAL.
Do Not Believe in a Jack the Hugger
is Jack the Talker.

There is not a girl in the vicinity
of Central Park or any other part of
me city who VII admit that she has
been Rugged by Jack the Hugger. In
fact this Jack the Hugger person is
believed by the police to be a myth
although it is admitted that there is a
man who roams in that part of the
city and stops and attempts to talk to
girls on the street who are unaccom-
panied by an escort.
Various officers of the police de-
partment have made a complete inves-
tigation and have failed to find any
person that can give them definite in
formation concerning the man who is
accused of trying to force his affec-
lions on the gentler sex. Detectives
of the police department worked in
the vicinity of Central park Thurs
day afternoon but We're unable to find
anybody that believed in the affair.
The officers called on a number of
women who were reported to have ex-
perienced the sensation of being hug
ged or who have been interfered with
by Jack the Hugger but none of them
could give any information which
would assist the police in any man
ner. A few have told the police of
seeing some character on the street
and said that he attempted to talk to
them but had never attempted to hug
them or even interfere with their
walk or to touch them in any man
ner.
One woman was found who had
fired a revolver at man, while she
was in Central park. She admitted
that she did this after discovering the
man in the act of eavesdropping her
conversation with another man, and
not because he had attempted to hug
her or interfere with her in any other
manner.
Chief of Police Morris c. jenkins
and the officers who have tad
the affair, believe nothing of the wild
reports that have been circulated.
They do not doubt the statements that
some character has spoken to the wo-
men but they believe this has been the
extent of his attentions which have
been referred to.

DEAD RESTORED TO LIFE.
Pharyngeal Installation Revived
Physician Who Had Taken Opiate.

New marvels in medical progress
about which the general public never
hears under normal circumstances
are coming to light daily as a result
of the Congress of Surgeons, now in
session here. 1t became known that
through the system of pharyngeal in
sufflation devised by DR.. Samuel j.
Meltzer. of the Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research, young man
considered by his physicians dead, in
the ordinary acceptance of the term,
was brought back to life some months
ago, after the new method of resus-
citation had been applied for many
hours.
DR.. Me1tzer described his method of
pharyngeal installation in prelimin-
airy note issued from the department
of physiology and pharmacology of
the Rockefeller Institute early last
summer. This method of resusciation
was intended to revive those who had
been asphyxiated, or who were seem
inIy dead as the result of electric
shock. 1t consisted in a new form of
artificial respiration, applicable in
such cases, and he carried on his stud
les and experiments as a member Of
the commission on reSuScitation from
electric shock appointed by the Amer
lean Medical association. In his pre-
liminary report, DR.. Meltzer announc-
ed that he had succeeded in restoring
life, and he told of having put two
animals to death and of having sub
SeQuentlV reSuSc1dt6d them. II ndQ
not been announced, though, that a
human patient who was dead to all
intents and purposes had been revived
as the result of DR.. Meltzer'S diScov-
cry.
It was said that a young physician
who was serving on the staff Of one
of the hospitals in this city took an
overdose of morphine, whether by &C
cident or design was not known. The
dose was so large that he fell into a
deep coma, and in the institution to
which he was attached it was not be-
Iieved that he could be revived.
Some one recalling Dr. Meltzer's an
nouncement that he had succeeded in
bringing the dead to life, suggested
that it might be worth while to take
the body of this man, who was already
dead to all intents and purposes, to
the Rockefeller Institute to see if the
application of DIR. Meltzer's apparatus
would prove of any value in such
case.
The body-for in this case the pa
tient could not be considered other
wise than as dead-was carried to the
institute in an ambulance, and for II
hours the surgeons worked over the
physician employing the pharyngeaI
method of artificial respiration. For
hours there was nothing to show that
a spark of life remained in the body,
but after II hours spent in unremit-
ting work with the Meltzer apparatus
the patient was restored.-From the
New York Times.

Adenolds and Large Tonsl!s.

When your child is two years
old and the teeth have all come
in, look OF it's nose:
Does it's nose run? Is it sore?
Does the child shuttle much?
Does it have fever sores or eczema
around it's nose and mouth? Are
the eyes red? Is it dull? Does
it stand and look at you with it's
me- nth open? Does it put its
hand to it's head as If it had ear
ache? Does your child sleep with
its mouth open? Does it snore?
If your child does any of these
things it Is a mouth breather. Take
it to your doctor and ask him if
it has adenoids or large tonsils.
Mouth breathing in children Is
nearly always caused by adenoids.
Adencids should always be remov-
ed.
Children with adenoids often
have earache. Notice if your
child complains of earache, and
whether a little matter does not
come from his oar. Does he hear
wellY Don't always blame him
if he is slow, perhaps he is deaf.
Earachs often means that tie
child has adenoids. Adenoids
should be removed. Earache al
ways means that the child Is in
danger of getting deaf. Earache
always means that the child is in
danger of getting a-running ear.
A running ear is always da' ger
GUS, for the child may get brain
fever from it. A running ear
should always be treated by an
ear doctor. It will not get we'll
without good care, and it may
make the child deaf.-Bulletin.

All the people who read

among these warships was

flagship and succeeded. After
she was raised she was to
come north, be repaired and
added to our fleet of war
ships. After she left Cuba
she encountered a severe
storm and was wrecked on
Cat Island. 1t is claimed by
some that this is the island
which Columbus first sighted

hundred years ago. We do

is so, but most of those who
