aelaium's Postmen.

A Belgian who has money owing to
him often hands the account to his
postman, who passes 1t through the Of
fce, to be presented to the debtor in
whatever locality the latter may re-
side, and II payment be made the
creditor receives it from his pOstman
on the following day, with but a tri-
ding deduction for commission.
As to newspapers, almost all regular
subscribers to journal pay their
money to postman, and two or three
days before the subscription expires
that official presents the notice for the
renewal of the subscription during a
fresh term.
All this makes of the Belgian post
man kind of nmbulating general
agency and bank of deposit, and the
man is obliged to have a desk slung
In front of him and to carry a locked
and chained portfolio under his arm
for valuables. but he gets through his
work satisfactorily. because his rounds
are short Pearson's Weekly.

Tho Greater courau us,

Men have offered up their lives by
the thousands upon the field of battle,
but in the struggle for existence woman
is continually Offering up her life for
man. If there is u mission of mercy to
perform she undertakes it. If there Is
suffering or distress to succor her viii.
ling hand Is always ready. If wretch
edness and misery need comforter
she is present. The faintest whisper of
pain brings her as pilgrim to its
couch. and in the chamber of death
she takes her place. assuaging the
hopeless sufferer with the comforting
assurance that there is home beyond
the grave free from the agony of pain.
She suffers herself without a murmur
or complaint. and the man that would
in the slightest degree add to 1t and in
crease the anguish that 1t is her lot to
bear is beneath the level of the brute.
If she should happen to possess de-
fects and faults, which every human
being has In greater or less degree,
let him compare them with her virtues,
and especially with his vices, and ev-
cry impulse of his better being will
prompt him to overlook them and make
due allowance therefOr.-lsidOr Ray

HUNT VANISHED MILLIONS

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. "a
Search has been begun by the pro
bate court for the vanished millions
of Captain w. A. Neville, of "Jim-
town" mining fame, who was at one
time before his death worth six mil
lions. When Neville died some nine
years ago, his estate was supposed
to have dwindled to a million. The
last will of the gold pioneer, recently
filed was found only after nine years
search. 1t was at jamestown, in the
Rawhide mine, that the Neville stake
was made. The captain took 100000
out of three buckets of ore. A vast
fortune accumulated, but it evaporat-
ed in the same ratio. In the will just
filed, Captain Neville cuts off his son
with a $40 bequest, explaining that
the son threatened his life and Sc
cued many thousands from him.

AGED MONARCH DYING?
Report In Rome Has Emperor of Aus

Rome, Dec. 24.-There is persist
ent rumor in circulation that Emperor
Francis Joseph Of Austria is dying 1t
is said further that the pope has been
urgently requested to send a death
bed blessing and that the kaiser has
been summoned to the bedside OF his
ally. The vatican denies that a death
bed blessing has been sent, and at
the Austrian embassy here 1t is stssed
that nothing has been heard, of the
emperor's Illness.
1t is reported that shortly after the
outbreak of the present war the en-
peror was SO seriously Ill that his life
was despaired Of. The reports persist.
ed for several days, but finally an
official denial was issued. According
to general report the kaiser held a
long conference with the emperor at
Vienna just before the German mon
arch was attacked by his recent Ill
ness.

why % Seals Swallow stonesf

No nature student seems yet to have
discovered for what reason seals swal
low stones. though the fact is well
established one. Certainly the stones
are not taken in for ballast, for the
empty seals keep down as easily as the
others. They are not swallowed for
the purpose of grinding up food, for
they are found in the stomachs Of
nursing pups. They are not taken In
with the food because they are found
In the stomachs of both young seals
and in those that live In the open sea
and feed on squid. Yet 1t is evident
that these things are not swallowed
haphazard, but are selected with con-
siderable care from the articles strewn
along the shore. and that a preference
Is exhibited for rounded objects. This
Is shown by the fact that. as rule.
only articles of one kind are found In
any one seals stomach.

SEE PROHIBITION
| AN ISSUE IN 1916.
Leaders Of the Two Old Parties
Discuss House Vote.

Washington. Dec. 24.-Leaders Of
the two old parties express the belief
that prohibition Of the liquor trafic
doubtless will become an issue in the
presidential campaign Of 1915. This
was conceded despite the fact that
the Republican leadership and the
Democratic party, as represented by
it's spokesmen, united In opposing the
prohibition resolution voted down in
the house. That the Progressive par
ty is making plans to feature prohibi-
ton in 1916 is generally believed.
While the house did not divide on
prohibition along political fines, 1t
was notably in the debate and on tho
vote that such conspicuous Republic
can leaders as Representative Mann
arrayed themselves against the move
ment headed by Mr.. Hobson. Mr..
Mann will in all probability be can
didate for the Republican presidential
nomination in 1916 Despite his am
bitions in this regard, his friends say
that he lost nothing by opposing pro-
hibition as presented In the Hobson
resolution. Mr., Mann's exposition was
based on the theory that regulation Of
the traffic is function for exercise
by the states and that federal prohi-
bition as proposed would do more
harm than good.
Mr.. Hobson and his associates ara
in happy frame OF mind over the
vote on prohibition in the house. They
declared that prohibition made a more
impressive showing in that body un-
der all circumstances than they ok
pecte6.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Is Aching or Bladder
Bothers, Drink Lots of Water
and Eat Less Meat

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore. don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal ac-
tivity. The function of the kidneys is
to filter the blood. In "A hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste. so we can readily understand the
vital importance of keeping the kidneys
active.
Drink lots of water-vou can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for n
few days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bred with lithia. and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
clogged kidneys; also to neutralze the
acids in urine so il no longer is n
source of irritation, thus ending blad
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
Gthia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this,
also keep up the water drinking, and
no doubt YOU will wonder what became
of your kidney trouble and backache.
