he sent for Gustav.

has recently been bewitched and has
lost two days.
"Who has bcwitched it:"
Gustav approached the judge and
whispered something in his ear.
"What is your age. Frau Tinkhorn-
er:' asked the judge.
II am forty-eight."
The judge started. ".Are YOU sure?"
he asked.
Yes. your honor; I am just forty
eight"
The judge dismissed the matter he

into custody on a charge of having be-
witchcd the town clock. Gustav had
whispered to him that the clock hay
ing gained exactly forty-eight hours.
this indicated that the person who had
bewitchcd it Was forty-eight years old.
When Frau ~linkhorner admitted that
she was thai age it was evident she
had bewitched the clock in order to
force her daughter to marry old ODER

SO Frau Transformer was thrown into
prison. Two days later Martin Stei"cr
returned from Munich With Kneift
who went before the Judge and ac.
cuScd Oberman of having stolen IL jew.

and the jewel found in his effects.
But there was nothing to prove that
the jewel belonged to kneift or that
Olcrman had stolen it.
The learned judge summed up tho

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE.

Portland has many industries and
institutions for which it is noted, but
none is more widely and favorably
known than The Kelley Institute, for
! the treatment Of liquor and drug ad-
dictions. This Institute-a branch of
The Kelley Institute of Dwight, ILL.,
has been established here for TWEEN
ty-six years and during that period
has been located at 151 Congress
street (Munjoy HID.
Recently, however, owing to the
greater demands made upon it for
accommodations, the Institute has
moved to more commodious build
ing in the western part of the city.
The new Institute is ideally situated
at 523 Cumberland avenue, corner of
Mellen street, in the best residential
section, near one of the city's most
beautiful parks, and within one min
ute's walk from Congress street. 1t
is convenient to automobile ira
vel, as Cumberland avenue is also the
state highway. The building itself is
modern throughout, thoroughly equip
ped with every facility that can add
to the comfort and convenience of the
patients. The rooms are exceptional
ly large and pleasant and the meals
served in the private dining-room are
unsurpassed in excellence.
The Kelley Treatment itself is so
we'll known that little need be said
here in relation to it. It is the only
treatment which removes the craving
or appetite for liquor or drugs and
restores the patients to normal
health. This is accomplished without
any sickness or suffering, and with no
unpleasantness whatever. 1t es-
pecially appeals to persons addicted
to the use of drugs, who are assured
that under the Kelley system there is
no sudden withdrawal of the drug,
which they have been educated to
dread. The patients are under the
direct supervision of the resident ply
slcian, who has specialized in this
line of diseases, and every necessary
attention is given to them They have
vacation privileges while under treat
ment, as they are not confined in any
way and all that is required of them
is the observance of a few simple
rules and strict regularity in taking
the remedy. - ~. '.'... 80
The management especially invites
summer visitors in this vicinity to
call at the Institute and become &C
quainted with the merits of the Kee-
ley system of treatment. They are
| assured of any degree of privacy they
may desire, as on the part of the
management of the Institute all bust
| ness is strictly confidential. Any in
formation desired on the part of pros
pective patients may be obtained by
addressing The Kelley Institute, 523
