CONSUMPTION TAKES
$50 PEOPLE DAILY

Over $50 people succumb to con-
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, combining
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by tax
ing Scott's Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil in SCOTS Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or nervous, Scott Emulsionis the
most strengtheningf ood-medicine known.

Blackeninu of Silver.

The housewife who knows that egg
darkens silver is often at loss to &C
count for the stains that occur when
she has not used egg. The sulphur
which causes the blackening of silver
is abundant in other substances be-
sides eggs, particularly in cabbage,
rubber of all kinds, hair, leatLor and
white paper. Rubber gloves, elastic
bands and the mats commonly used in
sinks often darken silver. Silver
should be placed in drawers or cases
lined with colored paper, cloth or vel
vet, as the white materials have COM
monty been bleached with sulphur

The captain was also voted $500 by
the British admiralty for sinking the
first German submarine lost in the
war.
On February % Captain Bell, in
charge Of the Thordis, steamship of
1000 tons, was proceeding to an Eng
lish port when he sighted the peri
scope of submarine off Beachy head.
An instant later a torpedo was sent
at the Thordis. Captain Bell ordered
full steam ahead and in the rough sea
managed to jump the torpedo, as his
boat leaped the waves while the tor
pedo kept its own level. Captain Bell
then rammed the submarine and sank
her.

Cacao Used as Currency.

Cacao passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time of the European
conquest, and that despite a plentiful
supply of gold. Joseph Acosta, in
1916, tells us the Indians used none
of their gold or silver for traffic in
or buy withall, and unto this day the
custom continues among them that
instead of money they use cacao. "
The Aztecs of ancient Mexico also
used "cacao" as small change, as
many as 5000 beans being counted
legal tender. The value of the beans
may be judged from the fact that "a
tolerably good slave" could be pur-
chased for 100 of them.-London

LESSON FOR KINGS STEWARD
Man of Few Words-Interested
Himself In Details.

King Frederick William III of Prus
STA was a man of few words; what
ever he had to say was always brief
and to the point. as the following an
ecdote from foreign journal shows:
The king, who was accustomed to
interest himself in all the details of
court management, ordered his stew
ard to take special pains to see that
all the carriages and wagons were
amply supplied with food and drink
whenever they left for journey Of a
day or so; but it sometimes happened
that the steward failed in his duty
and dispatched the drivers without
any food, giving them a coin, perhaps,
to buy what they wanted. That usu-
ally meant that the driver went hun
CRY, as he did not have much oppor-
tunity to leave his horses and dine
at a shop or restaurant.
At length the king became aware OF
his stewards failure to carry out his
orders and awaited the next opportu-
nifty to bring the fact to his attention.
He had not long to wait. That night
the king stopped his coachman as he
entered the courtyard, and upon in
quiry found that the man had had
nothing to eat since breakfast. He
held out dollar in his hand that the
steward had given him to buy food
with. Without word the king took
the dollar.
He went into the castle and sum-
moned the steward. That worthy ap-
peared Immediately and made pro-
found bow; but as he raised himself
up he was surprised to feel coin
placed against his mouth.
Eat it," ordered the king.
But, your majesty, L"
Eat it," the king again roared.
why, your majesty, can't eat it,"
"Oh, you can't? But you expected
the coachman to! Well, in the future
just remember that-that people eat
food, not money. Do you understand? %
The steward understood; in the fu-
ture the kings coachmen were amply
supplied with provisions whenever
they went upon journey.-Youth' s
Companion.

NO AN|MOSTY NOW
Century Has Wrought Change
in Feelings.
French Soldiers View Mementoes OF
the Downfall of Napoleon, Exhlb-
tied In British Capital, With
out Expression OF Emotion.

Every American visitor to London,
probably, makes call at the three
stored building opposite the Horse
Guard, the former banqueting hall OF
the palace of Whitehall, from win
dow on the second floor Of which
King Charles I stepped onto the exc
cution platform and, after addressing
the gathered throng, bravely met his
tragic fate, remarks the London
Times.
The building is now called the Royal
United Service Museum, and In the
main hall, contrasting strangely with
the richly figured ceilings by Peter
Paul Rubens, are thousands of relics
recalling the almost numberless wars
in which the manhood of this country
has engaged.
Yesterday the writer followed
through the turnstile of the museum
two French infantry soldiers, on leave
from the front fresh from months OF
fighting, side by side with Tommy
Atkins, against a common foe. In the
great hall, in enormous show cases,
are models setting out the exact posi-
lions at the battles Of Trafalgar and
Waterloo, those historic combats on
land and on sea which did so much tc
mar the fortunes Of Napoleon and tc
shatter the predominant position OF
France.
In one case, little patches of make
believe smoke trace the two lines, the
allies and the French, while clusters
Of tiny red brick houses mark the pc
sitions of villages of Belgium familiar
even to every follower Of the present
world struggle.
In the second case the feet of Mel
son is shown at the critical moment
when, led by the Victory and the
Fighting Temeraire, 1t pierced the
lines of the French and Spanish fleets.
Indeed, it seemed to the writer as he
hung over the showcases and studied
the positions, that Nelson used the
"phalanx" as effectively as did Won
Mackensen in Galicia, and as French
and Joffre are trying to do In France
and Belgium now
But, beside these two cases, there
are more immediate links with the
French and English past. Nearby is
the skeleton Of Napoleon's favorite
charger In another case is the curved
sword worn by Wellington at most of
his famous engagements. Many are
the relics of the peninsula campaign.
Here is the uniform, cape and hat
worn by Wellington during the whole
peninsula campaign, and deposited
in the museum by his valet On every
side are guns taken from the French,
while overhead are battle flags bear
ing the scars Of honorable warfare.
And the two French soldiers viewed
it all without enmity or unpleasant
comment.

TRY THIS EASY WAY
TO CLEAR YOUR SKIN
WITH RESINOL SOAP

Battle your face for several minutes
working the creamy lather into the
skin gently with the fnger-tips. Then
wash off with more Resinol Soap and
warm water, finishing with a dash Of
clear cold water to close the pores.
Do this once or twice day, and you
will be astonished how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol medication
soothes and cleanses the pores, re-
moves pimples and blackheads, and
leaves the complexion clear, fresh and
velvety. In severe cases little Res
mol Ointment should also be used.
Resinol Soap is sold by all druggists.

Bottle Stopper for Travellers.

What appears to be- one of the best
devices for stopping bottles for travel
ers' use is made in Paris and consists
of solid rubber cork having a pro-
longation at the top in the shape of a
rubber tube portion of about the same
length as the cork itself, and of slight
ly larger diameter, so as to come near
the size of the bottle fange.
Fitting in the stopper, the flexible
upper or projecting part is then
turned down all around, so as to fit
tight upon the bottle head and sur
round it for half an inch below the
top.
The whole then resembles what
would be given by cork and metal
bottle cap of the usual kind, but the
use of rubber makes flexible pro-
tector. Of course, stopper and flex-
ible part are all one piece of rubber.

Admiral Peary's Lucky Number.

Even so practical a man as Admiral
Peary has his little superstition and
is not ashamed to confess it. Talk
ing at a dinner In his honor, held in
Washington the other night, he called
attention to the fact that six is his
lucky number. He was born on the
sixth Of May; the ship In which he
reached "farthest north" prior to the
discovery of the pole left land on the
sixth Of March; the Roosevelt, on its
voyage that achieved the coveted
goal. sailed from New York on the
sixth of July; the pole was reached
on the sixth of April, and the wireless
message from the Labrador coast an
nouncing the discovery was flashed
on the sixth Of September. We hope
six has not lost its charm for the ad-
miral and that in years to come it
will bring him further successes and
renown.

The Homeless.

There are houses full of conv, Il.
fences and Injuries in which no one
is at home; the men and women who
live in them are homeless. To such
men and women, as to the men and
women to whom marriage is a mere
social contract and the family mere
social arrangement, there is no going
home, no refuge for the spirit, no place
of understanding and vision. There
are no more pathetic figures in the
world of today than these homeless
men and women; restless, discomfort
ed and unhappy, and utterly blind tc

no going home-The Outlook.

When broiling steaks or chops, If
the broiling oven door is left open just
a bit, there is no liability of the fat
catching fire; and when making toast
in the oven much better results will
be obtained if the door is left slightly
open. Many of the newer gas stoves
are made with a sort of openwork ar

Bradstreet's Review

morrow will say
Neither poor wheat reports nor un-
certainty about the outcome OF media
ton between railway employees and
managers, halt trade, which proceeds
at an unusually good pace. Indeed, the
central idea is that the outlook for fall
is otherwise most encouraging, that
lessened cereal crop yields will be off,
set by high prices, export trades In
most products is enormous and that
buying power has been so largely in
creased, a crop event that would have
proved we'll nigh disastrous in most
ordinary years can be endured with
comparative ease. Even in the North
west, the most affected section as re-
spects adverse wheat crop conditions,
buying seems to be marked by what
may be termed a go-ahead policy, or
ders for future delivery being heavy.
In few places in the West it is true,
there is a disposition to await corn crop
developments. Incidentally, merchants
excursions have brought numerous
buyers to leading markets, with the re-
suit that house trade in dry goods,
clothing and shoes has expanded in
noteworthy degree, and the fact that

ut was here that a furious battle was
fought for possession of the city. The
houses are half destroyed by shells or
riddled with bullets. The ground is strewn
with bodies, uniforms, helmets and rifles.
The artillery duel continued above our
heads and enemy aeroplanes whirled
across the sky, shot at by our gunners,
while in the distance could be heard the
furious clackng of machine guns.
THE spectacle before us was superb.
Over an iron bridge our batteries passed
at a trot The Austrian artillery sent
towards them whirlwinds of shells, the
smoke from which completely blotted out
our columns from time to time. When
the smoke blew away one could see the
batteries still proceeding on their tri-
umphant way. The men of the line regi-
ments yelled, wept and clapped their
hands in their enthusiasm. Some of the
gunners fell wounded but the bridge was
passed and our guns began to get near
the enemy.

DANIEL CROWLEY

TO TAKE HIS LIFE

Bangor, Me-, Aug. n.-Daniel j.
Crowley of this city, who was locked
UP at the police station Wednesday
afternoon on the complaint of relatives,
who charged that he was making a
nuisance of himself, took two tablets,
that, under ordinary circumstances,
would kill a man. He is not yet out OF
danger as the tablets may not act for
four days.
Crowley, who is a hostler, used the
tablets to dissolve in water, and form
a. solution used to battle sores on
horses. The man had the tablets In his
pocket and he admits that he took two
of them, just before o'clock Wednes-
day. DR.. Milliken was called immedl-
ately and did all in his power tor the
man, who was later removed to the
Eastern Maine General hospital, where
he may be watched. The poison may
not take effect for four or five days, so
it is thought the mans life is in dam
ger. It is almost sure death to take two
of these tablets, he doctor says.

THEF0LKETH|NC
CONTINUES ITS
DEBATE ON sale

Copenhagen, Aug. 11.-Via Lon
dom The Folkething today contln-
ued the debate on the sale of the Dan
ish West Indies Islands to the United
States Many Of the members took
part in the debate. The opposition
leaders repeatedly offered the sugges-
ton that the population of the ISLANDS
should be allowed a referendum on
the proposed sale. Replying to this ar
gument, the minister of foreign affairs
said that during the negotiations he
had asked the American government
whether it was favorable to such a
referendum and that the American
government had refused to sanction it.
He added, however, that he was will
ing to bring the matter again to the
attention of the United States, al
though he was not sure that he could
succeed in obtaining its consent to
such a proceeding.
The debate will continue tomorrow,
and a vote may be reached in the eve
ming.
