Through the proxy of Mrs. Ida Sha-
piero of Brooklyn, the ghost of her
father appeared as a witness before
Magistrate Miller in the New Jersey
avenue police court of that borough,
alleging that Mrs. Clara Steiner, who
occupies an apartment on the sam e
floor with Mrs. Shapiero. had stolen
$3.50 ring belonging to her.
Mrs. Shapiero charged that Mrs
Steiner had visited her on July and
was upward of an hour in her bed
room, which Mrs. Shapiero had oc-
casion to leave once or twice. In a
drawer of the dresser reposed the
ring On July 4, when Mrs. Shapiero
missed her ring, she went looking for
Mrs. Steiner and learned she had
gone to Paterson, \. J.

ure of my departed father appeared
to me- I could see him as plainly
as you yourself sitting before me- He
spoke slowly. He said: Mrs. Steiner
has your ring. She took it from q
drawer in your dressing table. Take
her into court and recover your
property. -

faith in the evidence of the astral
father Of Mrs. Shapiero or was un-
satisfied with the answers made by
Mrs Steiner, who. among other things.
declared most earnestly she did not
steal the ring. does not appear as a
matter of record, but he held her in

Use of Package Medicine Shows
Steady Growth.

The use of proprietary or prepared
medicine is steadily increasing among
all classes of society; and this in spite
of the organized and well financed fight
of the American Medical Association
against it. The reason is not far to
seek. Prepared medicine is simply one
phase of the stan%dardizing process
which is going on in all lines of indus
try; and the public is growing better
and better informed in regard to health
and the means of securing and main
tanning it.
People know more about themselves,
their bodies and functions, than they
ever did before; and why they are sick
if they become so. Prepared medicine
has standardized the treatment for a
large proportion of the ordinary all
ments and common ills. So that peo-
pie do not feel the need of calling in a
doctor to tell what is the matter with
them when they already know, or to
charge them two dollars Tor a prescrip-
ton when the same or a better one
already compounded and ready for use
can be had for less than half the
money.-Adv.

The attention of certain Memphis
physicians has been called to the fact
that travelling opticians had been doing
business in Lee county as their repre-
sentatives and have sold glasses on the
strength of lei representation.
Several parties were duped and failed
to get what the glasses were repre-
scented to be. The physicians in Mem
phis state that they send out no rep
resentatives and any one posing as
such are imposters.
