of $2O9,6l7.93, leaving $277 ,S59.36 to

New York, Feb. 3.-Should President
Wilson today accept Mollie Fancher's s
invitation to him to attend at her
Brooklyn residence the celebration of
her fiftieth year in bed, a hopeless
cripple, the chief executive will see a
little old woman in an old fashioned
four-poster "A parrot on either side,
canary at the window and an obstIu-
sive dog and eat somewhere about The
president has not indicated whether he
will accept the invitation.
Fifty years ago today little 16-year-
old girl, was put to bed in room at
lG0 Gates avenue, Brooklyn. She still
is in the bed She never has been out
of it, not once in so years. She never
will be out of it again, except on one
occasion; and that occasion Mollie Fan
cher laughs at, when she takes the
trouble to consider it at all.
Alollie has three "children:" three
fine "boys," Loretta, the eldest, is
20 and slowly dying in the glum silence
Of a grabbed old age. His plumage,
once brilliantly green; and his eyes,
once sparkling and sly, are as dull as
his conversation. Loretta is sage soul
He has ruled countless families of short
lived eats and dogs to Mollie Fancher's s
entire satisfaction. Altogether Loret-
ia has served Mollie well as a son for
20 years; and he loves her and she
loves him; poor, misnamed old man that
he is.
Joe, mere STRIPPING of 12 years, is
cock o. the walk these days; and he
rules in high feather, with a cultural
chuckle and raucous clack that wins a
s''''" f-o~' Mollie and baleful glare
from his Brother, Dickie Boy is a mere
infant; sort of adopted on probation,
you knowj but though small and some.
..~. ..onheu upon at first, he has
sung his way into the hearts Of Mollie,
Loretta and Joe in the eight years he
has been at it.
And they don't have bad time Of it
at all, that quartet They talk about
everything, Mollie taking the lead and
choosing the subject, Joe cackling along
empty-headedly, Loretta grumbling and
blinking, while modest little Dickie Boy
Just pipes up once in a while.
The late st. Clair McElway, found.
er and editor of The Brooklyn Eagle,
was one of Mollie Fancher's best
friends. Most of her childhood friends,
like McElway, have died in the last
few years and Mollie says sometimes
now she "almost feels like forgot
ten old woman"
"At first right after the accident, I"
said Mollie Fancher soday, '"I wanted
TO die; but ] soon got over that Many
queer things have been said and written
about me, but nothing is true except
that I am a crippled old woman who
has been in bed so years. One man
here in Brooklyn years and years ago
wrote a book about me telling that l

STOMACH TROUBLES
Due TO ACIDITY

So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind, stomach hache and in
ability to retain food, are in probably
nine cases out of ten simply evidence
that fermentation, the result of excess
acid, is taking place in the food con
tents of the stomach causing the form
alton Of gas. Wind distends the stom-
ach and causes that full, oppressive
feeling sometimes known as heartburn,
while the acid irritates and inflames
the delicate lining of the stomach. The
trouble lies entirely in the excessive
secretion of acid and the fermentation
of food Such fermentation is un-
natural and may involve harmful con-
sequences if not corrected. To stop
or prevent fermentation of food con
tents of the stomach and to eutralize
the acid, and render it bland and harm
less, teaspoonful of Bisurated Mag
nesia, perhaps the best and most eff
fective corrector of acid stomach
known, should be taken in a quarter
of a glass of hot or cold water i'm
medately after eating, or whenever
wind or acidity is felt. This stops the
fermentation, and neutralizes the acid
itv in a few moments. Fermentation,
wind and acidity are unnecessary.
Stop or prevent them by the use of a
proper antacid, such as Bsurated
Magnesia, which can be obtained from
any druggist, and thus enable the ,tom-
ach to do its work properly without
being hindered by gas and excessive
acid.

WHY CHILLY WEATHER
B INGS RHEUMATISM
Says Skin Pores Are Closed
and Uric Acid Remains
In Blood
Rheumatism is no respeeter Of ace,

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank, If not the most
dangerous of human afflictions it is
one Of the most painful Those sub
iect to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all, drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores Of the skin are al
so means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak nd sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps
aecumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action, thus ridding the blood Of
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon iuice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject ia

The tenth annual commencement,

in the auditorium of the senior high
school, the address of the evening being
delivered by President W. j. Kerr, of
the Oregon Agricultural college, speak
ing on, "The American Ideal in Edu.

"The ideal education of today is not
that of years ago, nor is it the ideal of
years to come, as the American people
are progressive" said President Kerr
in his Introductory remarks.
In tracing the gradual growth of the
educational system in the United States,
President Kerr noted that in the early
days education was only for those who
expected to give their time to law,
literature or the ministry and that the
whole system of education was for the
privileged classes. This system of edu-
cation was similar to that of the univer-
sites in Europe, and it was not until

NEW WAY TO WAVE THE
HAIR BECOMES POPULAR
, 4 = y - = 4 = = x 4 Z * x

That most women are quick to appre-
ciate anything that will enhance their
attractiveness, is shown by the great
" increased demand for liquid silmer-
inc, since its remarkable hair curling
properties became known. Druggists
everywhere report large sales for this
product.
Women are enthusiastic over liquid
silmerine particularly because it en-
ables them to acquire a curliness which
is so beautifully natural in appearance,
and not have to burn the life out of
the hair with a hot iron. Also they
find it beneficial dressing for the
hair. The liquid is so agreeable to
use, being neither gummy nor greasy
and it is so easy to apply with a clean
tooth brush at night when the hair is
down. The pretty wavy and curly ef'
feet in the morning is most delightful.
As it takes only little silmerine to
produce the required effect, a few
ounces will last for weeks.
