FREEDOM IN FRANCE
No Country in the World Where In
dividual Liberty Is Greater

believe that there is no country in
the world where there is greater indi-
vidual freedom than in France. Every
one apparently does Just about as he
peases. The gendarmes are not watch
ing for infractions and never seem to
interfere with anybody. People tum-
BILE their dogs into the public foun-
tains and enjoy the parks with a free
dom that would not for a moment be
permitted in New York. Yet no one
does anything really harmful l men
toned these things to the American
consul, who said
Yes, the French have great individ-
nal license and are too proud of it to
abuse it, Whatever they lack in po-
litieal freedom they make up in per
sonal liberty. That is the chief article
of their faith. The gendarme seldom
lays hands on n citizen. Where some
thing really serious happens there are
usually serious consequences, but it
does not often happen. -
Then he told me of runaway youth
whom he wished apprehended and held
for American advices. The authorities
said: ''We will watch him for you, we
will keep you posted as to his com
ings, his goings and his doings, but we
cannot lay hands on him. There is no
warrant for so serious a step. Albert

OLD TAPESTRY
How the Product of Different Eras
May Be Distinguished


The word tapestry" needs to be de-
fined, for it may mean anything from
figured furniture covering to carpets.
Tapestry as the word is here used is
a pictured fabric woven by an artisan
on hand loom, in which the design
forms the cloth and is not worked
upon basic tissue. The design itself
is painted by an artist, and the loom,
either upright or horizontal, has alter
ed but little from prehistoric times to
the present The difference in the
tapestries through the ages lies in the
dyes. in the design and in the talent
of those who translate. the drawings
in weaving. The species of stitch al
ters not and belongs to all peoples
Asiatie, European, aborigines of North
and South America.
For those who would be quickly wise
in a general classification of old tap
estry it may be said loosely that three
great periods of design and weaving
dominate the history of the art. First,
the primitive or Gothic; next, the
renaissance, and then that aorescence
of decorative design which belongs
more peculiarly to France in the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries. AS
these three great periods of artistic
development prevailed all over tho
Christian world in all varieties of art
one can, by using this simple key ar
rive almost instantly at the century
to which tapestry belongs.-Serib-

Smoke Consuming Schemes

The most ingenious scheme ever in
vented for doing away with the smoke
difficulty with steam locomotives was
tried some years ago on the Metropol-
itan railway of England. Between
the rails trough was laid, and the en-
gine carried sliding shoe device
adapted to slide over this and to open
doors as it passed whereby smoke let
from the stack to the shoe was enabled
10 pass into the trough, thence being
exhausted to a collecting plant An
other scheme for solving the smoke diff
fculty was to construct a series OF
smokestaeks leading to the back of the
train. This would have kept the elm
ders ont Of the passengers eyes posi-
bly,. but would hardly have been suffi-
eient TO make the smoke settle on the
company right of way.-Indianapolis

DENIES CHILD is SUBSTITUTE

Claimant for Estate Is Son

London, Dec. Airs. Dorothy
Singsby, wife of Lieutenant Charles R.
Slingsby, of San Francisco, denied in
the Probate Court yesterday the allie
cations that her son, heir to the Slings-
by estate in Yorkshire. had died and
that she had substituted for him an.
other infant.
Mrs. Slingsby was subjected to a Sc
we're cross-examination, during which
were brought up statements made by
witnesses at the hearing held in San
Francisco by the California State Board
of Health, which led the board to de-
eide that her son had died and that she
had substituted a child belonging to
Mrs. Lillian Anderson, of California.
Mrs. Slingsby denied all these state
ments. She admitted that she had ar.
ranged for the insertion of an adver.
tisement in San Francisco newspaper
concerning the adoption of a child, but
said that she had done so merely to
crafty whim.
She denied that DR.. w. w. Frazer
of San Francisco, had telephoned to
her that he might be able to procure a
child for her or that she had apple

not accepted from any person any child
for adoption, and swore that the present
claimant was her own child.
Upon the decision of the Court de
pends the disposition of an estate val
ued at 100000, which by a special
provision of the will of the Rev
Charles Slingsby was to go to the heir
of Lieutenant Slingsby, in addition to
the property inherited by the lieuten-
ant.

TO PALE thin people
Druggist H. G. Kennedy Offers to Pay
for Samose If 1t Does Not
Make Thin People Fat

Pale, thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishment They may
eat enough, but their food is not prop
erly digested and does them no good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh forming
food should be used by all who are pale,
weak and thin. 1t mingles with the
food and aids assimilation, so that when
taken for a short time, nature will soon
assert her normal powers, and the food
that is eaten will give strength and
good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy cheeks
and the plumpness of beauty should use
Samose. The man who wants to be
strong and well and gain health and
good flesh will find his desires accom-
olished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Samose that Druggist
H. c. Kennedy is willing to pay for
the treatment if it does not give the
desired results. He makes this offer
generally and wants all who are thin,
weak and out of health to get a box
of Samose from him on those terms.

Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity

Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid In the beginning the stom-
ach itself is not diseased but il this
acid condition is allowed to continue,
the acid is very likely TO eat into the
stomach walls and produce stomach ul-
GERS which may render radical sur
gical operation necessary even TO pro-
long life. Therefore, an "acid stom-
ach' is really a danger aus condition
and should be treated seriously. 1t is
utterly useless to take pepsin and or
binary stomach tablets. The excess
acid or stomach hyperaeiduy- must be
neutraliZed by the admi nj stration of an
efficient antacid. For this purpose the
best remedy is bisurated magnesia
taken in teaspoonful doses in a fourth
of a glass of water after each meal
Larger quantities may be used IL nee
essary as IL is absolutely harmless. Be
sure TO ask your druggist for the bisur-
ated magnesia as other forms of mag
nesia make effective mouth washes
but they have not the same action on
the stomach as the bisurated. adv.
