(To BE coNTINUEDD

Every lawyer when young should be
apprenticed to some good physician,
and should return to him regularly
through life. Then we might hope
that from the neighboring profession
of healing there might enter into him
a spirit never to be wholly quenched
by all the deadening influences of his
work.
No fact could well be more surpris
ing or offer a more delicate psyche
logical problem than this. that within
two professions touching life upon
matters of equal Importance profess
sions of ancient dignity and learning
and inviting to their service men OF
equal and rare ability, there should be
so different spirit
Medicine stands in this strange con.
trast to law, that while the public is
clamoriug for the lawyers to advance,

offer the chief resistance; the medical
profession constantly outstrips and
leads the public Imagination in de-
vices to check disease. Although much
at the start was due to laymen. the

typhoid fevers, is largely captained
and manned by doctors, who have the
hearty support OF the profession as a

WomanIiness.

Perhaps it would not be so easy to
lose "womanliness" as some people
seem afraid it would be. Perhaps all
the pow-wow about becoming desexed
is superfiuous. Weininger calls atten-
ton to the fact that while there are
people who are anatomically lnen and
psychically women, there is no such
thing as a person who is anatomically
woman and psychically man. How.
ever masculine her appearance, a
woman's psychic qualities remain dis
tinctively feminine. At least. Mr..
Weininger says so.

"LlKE MAGIC"
New Food Makes Wonderful Changes.

When a man has suffered from dys-
pepsia SO many years that he can't re-
member when he had a natural appe-
tite, and then hits on a way out of
trouble he may be excused for saying
1T acts like magic"
When it is a simple, wholesome
food instead of any one of a large num-
Der of so called remedies in the form
of drugs, he is more than ever likely
to feel as though sort Of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, in the delight of re-
stored digestion, puts it in this way:
Like magic, fittingly describes the
manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved
me of poor digestion, coated tongue
and loss of appetite, of many years
standing.
Il tried about every medicine that
was recommended to me, without re-
lief. Then l tried Grape-Nuts on the
suggestion of friend. By the time
had finished the fourth package, my
stomach was all right, and for the past
two months l have been eating with
relish anything set before me. That
is something I had been unable to do
previously for years.

CHARLESTON CALABOOSE

Atlanta, Sept 29.-The little town
of Charleston, nesting in the shadow

along with Johnson City, Texas, of
being the only village in the world
whose calaboose or Jail has stood
empty for more than year.
The Charleston Jail, a little one
room affair, was built two or three
years ago, and so moral has the little
community been that it has only had
one inmate, and he was a chance vag-
rant who made the mistake of stop
ping there.
The same condition is said to pre-
vail in Johnson City, Texas, but the
Texans have made their Jail useful by
storing grain in it, and today, accord
ing to reports, every cell is full Of
corn and wheat.

A. G. S. ROBBERY
LOOT MORE Than $4,000
1t is Thought the Work Was
Planned By Organization

Tuscaloosa, Ala, Sept 29.-(Special
to Times Recorder Five men have
been arrested and lodged in the local
Jail on suspicion Of connection vita
the robbery of the Alabama Great
Southern express train, at Cottonda'e,
near here. 1t is believed now that the
loot is much more than was expected
az first 1t is thought that the robbers
got away with as much as $4,000.
Suspect Organized Band.
The unusual number Of train rob-
berries out of Birmingham leads the
Burns detectives to believe that this is
the work of an organized band, who
plan their escapades with minutenes3.
In present instance it is one in which
hours were spent by the authorities in
chasing an empty engine while the
robbers themselves were not tootlng
it to the comforts of civilization On
the day following the robbery hours
were spent in searching both sides Of
the right-of-way when, again, this the
least likely place that daredevil OF
the type encountered would place him
self.
One faculty Of the robber chieftain
has impressed itself on all who saw
him. He has kindly disposition. He
refused to injure two dogs in a bag
gage coach when preparing to eS-
plode the safe with notroglycerine, al
though the process would have saved
him several minutes at time when it
was valuable, He stopped and in
structed that the dogs be taken to q
safe distance.

According to Chief Bodeker of Biz
mingham and other officials on thu
ground the estimate of loss at $4,000
is very conservative and the total may
double this amount. 1t is known that
three bags of money were taken and
a large shipment of currency which is
said to have been billed to New Or
leans. 1t is further belief of the Of
ficials that the robbers were aware OF
the unusually heavy shipment of money
on the date of the robbery.
