plete break down in health, some time
ago." writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this
place. Il was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day,I got bottle O. Cardui. 1t
did me so much good, was surprised.
and took some more.
Before / took Cardui, had headache
and bacllache, and sometimes I would
CRY for hours. Now am over all that,
and can do all kinds of homework. l
TANK it is the greatest medicine on
earth"
In the past fifty years. thousands Of
ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill,
to tell of the benefit received from

A noted mathematician, considered by
many wonder, stopped at a hotel in a
small town in Missouri. AS usual in such
places, there were a number OF travelling
men on hand; there was also meeting
OF medical men at the place, who used
the hotel as headquarters. One of the
doctors thought it would be joke TO tell
the mathematician that some of the M.
DIS. had decided to kidnap him and take
out his brains to learn how il was he was
50 good in mathematics. He was then
asked by them what he was going to do
about it. He replied: "Why, shall

doctors are doing"

What Makes The Corn Pop.

Every one knows and likes that humble
but cheerful dainty, popcorn. But how
many can tell what makes the corn pop ?
A writer in Harper's Weekly explains:
A kernel OF popcorn is filled with
tightly packed starch grains. The inter
ior OF the kernel is divided into a large
number OF cells, each of which may be
likened to tiny box, the walls OF which
are strong enough to withstand consider
able pressure from within. Upon the
application of heat, the moisture present
in each little box is converted into steam
that finally escapes by explosion. The
grain OF corn then literally turns inside
out" and is transformed into relatively
large mass OF snow white starch.

EXECUTION STAY
 GRANTED CAPPS
Former Minister of Sebastian County Hopes tO Escape the Gal lows Upon Repudiati0n of
 Testimony by Daughter.

Little Rock, May 26.-A stay of execution was Monday granted to Marion Capps of Ft. Smith, a coal miner and former minister of the gospel, who was last December con vlcted of murder in the first de- gree at Ft. Smith in the Sebastian County Circuit court. Capps was to have been hanged May 30 at Ft Smith. The stay was granted pend- ing an appeal of the case, which was today granted by the Supreme court. Briefs, both for the defend ant and the state, will have to be filed, and 1t is not probable that the case will be given a hearing before the summer adjournment of the Supreme court.
 The crime with which Capps is charged and convicted was one of a most dastardly nature, and ere ated considerable popular agitation at the time. It was charged that Capps on the night of December IS, tied his children in bed while they were sleeping, saturated the bed clothes with coal oil and set fire to the room where the children were sleeping. The mother had been dead for about two years, and the oldest of The children, Bertha Capps, supervised the household affairs Her testimony was used to the most advantage by the state in the conviction of Capps. Subse- quent to the trial she has made af- fidavit refuting substantial parts of her story, on which the defense hopes to get a reversal of the yer dict.
 George W. Dodd of Ft, Smith, at torney for the defendant, is in Lit tie Rock today, and states that the defense hopes to get reversal on various grounds. In addition to the affidavit made by Bertha Capps, which was filed, the defense asserts that the members of the jury were allowed to read newspaper clip pings of the progress of the trial while the trial was still on, and fur ther that the statute requires that in first degree murder cases the verdict of the jury shall specify the degree of the finding of the jury. while in this case the jury rendered only a general verdict of guiltv.

New York Health Officer Asks That Use of Serum Be Prohibited Says Some of Patients Are

New York, May 26.-Dr. Joseph OConnell, health officer of New York, this morning sent letter to the health commissioner requesting that official to have the board of health prevent the use of pr. Friedmann's tuberculosis treat ment until those promoting it can demonstrate it is harmless.
 pr. O'Connell asserts there is ac- tual danger in the treatment; that some of Friedmann's patients have not improved, but have lost ground; that there is an unusually rapid spread of tuberculosis in some classes of the cases following the administration of the Friedman treatment.
 Dr. O'Connell says supervision must be insisted on in order to pre- vent the perpetration on the pub lie of a dangerous and cruel fraud.

ROOSEVELT NOT
 TOTAL ABSTA|NER
Declares Himself te Be Man 0s Complete SObriety Used 7 Ounces of Brandy in
 Eleven Months.

Marquette, Mich, May 27.-Theo- dore Roosevelt took the witness stand today in his libel suit against George A. Newett, who in an edi- tOrial charged him with drunken ness. The former president entered a denial. He admitted using light wines with his meals, but never touched strong liquors except on advice of his physician or after ex- posture. He said he does not smoke nor touch beer.
 Brief Summary of Testimony.
 In substance, Col. Roosevelt de- tended himself as a man of com plete sobriety, although not a total abstainer. Leading points in his testimony were:
 T am not total abstainer.'
 T have never drunk a highball or a cocktail ill my life.
 T don't smoke. 1 don't drink beer and 1 don't drink red whisky.
 Il have never drunk whisky or brandy except when the doctor prescribed it, or possibly on some occasion after great exposure, when 1 was chilled through.
 The only wines 1 have drunk have been white wines. Madeira, champagne, or occasionally a glass of sherry.
 At home and at dinner l often drink a glass or two of white wine and Poly water.
 At public dinners 1 sometimes drink a glass of champagne or per- haps two. On an average I may drink one glass of champagne a month.
 There was a fine mint bed at the White House, and l may have drunk half a dozen mint juleps there in a year.
 "On the African trip the eXpedi- ton took along a case of cham pagne, a case of whisky and a bottle of brandy The brandy was for me, because 1 don't drink whisky. In the II months of the trip the doctor administered just seven ounces of it to me for medical pur- poses. I never touched it except on his advice, The champagne was used for three of our party who were ill and for some sick strang- CTS.
 "On speaking tours, by direction of Surgeon General Rixey I some times took a goblet or two of milk before retiring and in each there was a measured teaspoonful of brandy.
 Since leaving the White House I think I have tasted mint juleps twice-part of a glass at St. Louis and sip from a loving cup at Lit tie Rock, Ark"
