A Wonderful Tonic
That Aids Digestion

Thousands are unable to digest GER
tain kinds of food In most cases it is
not the fault of the food. nor the
stomach. 1t is probable that the stom-
ach has been abused. Many resort to
predigested foods and various kinds of
medicines to get relief from dyspep-
sia, indigestion and heartburn, but
without permanent benefit.
If your stomach was in perfect
condition, you would not need medi-
cine to digest the foods you eat
Jaynes Tonic Vermifuge is a stomach
regulator. 1t gets the stomach in
such a condition that it will digest
food without other assistance. 1t
overcomes the acidity and stimulates
the coating of the stomach and intes-
tines so that they will properly absorb
and assimilate the nutriment from the
food eaten. Sufferers from dyspepsia
and indigestion will find permanent
relief in a short time after beginning
the use of the tonic For children, the
addition of a little sugar will make II
most palatable.
Many forms of supposed indigestion
are the result of intestinal parasites
for which Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is
unsurpassed. Insist upon Jayne's; ac'
cent no other. Millions have praised
it for more than eighty years Sold
by druggists everywhere. DR.. d

ANCIENTs HAD SLOT MACHINES
(Strand Magazlne.)

Hero of Alexandria (about 1875 B.
c. was an ingenious inventor of me-
chanical toys. In his works, "Pnep-
matte" and "Automata,' he describes
some hundred small machines that he
probably never carried beyond the
model stage. These included a
steam engine, which Is said to be of
the form now known as Avery's pat
ent. and a double forcing pump to be
used as a fire engine.
Hero was also the inventor Of the
automatic delivery, or penny-in-the-
slot machine. He describes "a sacri-
ficial vessel which flows only when
money is introduced" When the
coin is dropped through the slit 1t falls
on one end of a balanced horizontal

lever, which being depressed. opens a
valve suspended from a chain at the
other end, and the water begins to
flow. When the lever has been de-
pressed to a certain angle the coin
falls off and the valve, being weight
ed, returns to its seat and cuts off the
supply.

In San Francisco the board of su-

the Examiner deals with the subject
as follows:
The proposal merits serious con-

fer which women are better adapted
than men.
Already several cities have added
women to the police force, and others

cago has had police women for some
time. Philadelphia, Kansas City and
Les Angeles have them. Every city
which has tried the experiment has

to women and children. Their duty
would be protective more than puni-
tive. There is a rapidly growing ten
dency all over the country to deal
differently with the woman and child
offender. For this purpose special
courts and special officers have come
into vogue. Protection is the key
note of this movement. The addition
of the women police to San Francisco's
police department would bring this
city into accord with that movement.
The request, made to the Supervisors
