Mr.. q E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich
Dear Sir: Perhaps it will interest
you to know that l have been ruptured
six years and have always had trouble
with it till I got your Appliance. It is
very easy to wear, fits neat and snug,
ard is not in the way at any tina, day
or night. In fact, at times I did not
know I had it on; it just adapted itself
to the shape Of the body and seemed to
be a part Of the body, as It chung to
the spot, 40 matter what position 1 was
in.
1t would be q veritable God-send to
the u~nfortunates who suffer from rup-
ture If all could procure tho Brooks
Rupture Appliance and wear it. They
would certainly never regret it
Ny rupture is now all healed up and
nothing ever did it but your Appliance.
Whenever the opportunity presents
itself I viii say a good word for your
Appliance, and also the honorable way
in which you deal with ruptured peo-
pie. It is a pleasure to recommend I
good thing among your friends or
strangers. l am,
Yours very sincerely,
JAMES A. BRITTON.

viii it be for the child to get rid of it.
No ruptured child can ever be free
from the thought of the rupture and It
is not fair to any child not to have an
equal chance with other children. No
matter what we may wish to think
ruptured children do not have an equal
chance.
Common trusses do not help.
Thousands of men and women know
that from their own experience with
such trusses.
But it is not necessary for children
TO wear harsh, cumbersome, steel trusses
any more.
You may have had to wear something
like this, but don It make your child do
it. Give the child something better.
MY Appliance is better and l wan.
to prove it to you.
1 will make an Appliance to tho
child's measure, send it on TRIAL
put it into your hands To see and use,
and then you a say whether it is
what ! claim or not.
The Automatic Air Cushion conforms
with every movement of the child; there
is an even, gentle pressure which gradu-
ally binds the broken parts together
as you would bind q broken limb-and
then no matter how much the child
jumps, runs, rolls over or falls down
the pressure is kept up just the same
always drawing the parts together.

BUY MUTTON IN QUARTERS.
Or Share Whole Sheep and Lambs with
Neighbors.

Food specialists of the department of
agriculture who have been investigating
the subject. find that there is wide
variation in the prices asked for lamb
and mutton in different cities and towns
and even in different butcher shops in
the same locality. In many places the
prices asked by the pound for these
foods closely approach those asked for
beef and pork. In other places. owing
to conditions OF local supply, there Is
such price difference between mutton
and beef as to make mutton a relative
" cheap food. The specialists of the de-
partment OF agriculture find that in
nutritive value and digestibility mutton
is practically interchangeable with beef.
The waste is about the same percentage
although mutton has a slight advantage
over beef in containing less water.
In many markets where the pound
price of mutton and lamb is high, careful
shoppers will find that they can obtain
this form of meat very much lower by
buying hind quarters or half carcasses
instead of buying chops and roasts sep
arately by the pound. In the case of a
hind quarter the chops can be cut OF
and served for one meal and the roast
will serve for another meal. In this way
the family frequently viii obtain chops
at a price per pound lower than that
asked for roast alone by the pound.
Where half carcass is bought, in addi-
ton to the chops and roasts. the family
viii have a fore quarter and meat for
stewing. The sheep is very convenient
for purchase in this way. as IL is small
and can be kept in an ordinary refriG-
orator Frequently families combine and
buy whole carcass and divide IL, and
in this case get still better prices and
obtain expensive cuts at low average
per pound. The specialists Of the de-
partment advise women who find the
cost Of other meats oppressive n inves-
tigste these quantity buying methods
and also To look into the differences N
prices charged for lamb and mutton by
different retailers in their neighborhoods.

If Tennessee Can't Get Loan of l,4oo,-

A Hand in the Case Personally

Washington Sept. 25.-In connection

Adoo yesterday issued this statement;
Senator Lea of Tennessee informs
me that the State OF Tennessee has
81 100000 of short-term notes, matur-

new or extend 81 100000 of these notes;
that a commission representing the

time irving to effect this loan, but with
out success.

states of the union should find it i'm
possible to procure from the banks such
a comparatively small amount of mon

was going to New York last night for
the purpose of joining the commission
in its efforts to secure the needed loan.

No great actors were mentioned except

lawyer. The following letter about Edi-
son won first prize;
A man may be great in so many d.
rections of his being that it might seem
difficult, at first thought, to arrive at a
clear and fitting answer. But when one
stops to call to mind the great men Of
the past. from Washington down to the

large, selhess way that characterizes true
and enduring greatness, it is not a diff
cult task.

service to others, and the larger the serv-
ice and the greater number OF people
il reaches, the greater the man.
"The second requirement is sincerity
of purpose-for only the truth can live.
"The third essential is sympathy for,
and understanding Of the needs of our
fellow man.
"a man may be a great writer and
vet not great man, unless what he mas
written has in it that quality of service
which multiplies his work and value as

does the greatest good to the greatest
number-he is the greatest man. And
this man in our country is Thomas \.
