Just how foolish it is to indiscrimi-

and medicines is often not realized
until too late. 1t seems so simple to
swallow a dose of some special mix
ture or take pepsin tablets, or other
artificial digestents after meals, and
the folly of this drugging is not APP

when chronic dyspepsia has developed
or gastric ulcers have almost or en-

fiuence upon the harmful acid; that
is why so many are discarding them
and advising sufferers from indiges-

of the dangerous acid and keep the
food contents bland and sweet by tax

instead.
Bisurated Magnesia is a pleasant,

SMALLPOX IS
CROPPING OUT
Large Number of Men Com
ing Here Are Bringing
Disease

Smallpox in Pennsylvania, on ac-
count of the large number of men
who have come into the state lately
from other states is at the present
time threatening the public health,
according to State Health Commits
sioner Dixon, who says that condi-
tions mentioned in his warning last
week still prevail. Drastic steps are
being considered at the Health De-
partment. whose staff is keeping in
close touch with conditions through
out the state by order of the Com
missioner.
Reports of new outbreaks received
lately are still connected in many
cases with the presence of negro la
porers recently brought into the state
1t was reported by the County Medi-
cal inspector for Erie County that
four cases had developed in the city
of Erie within the last few days. The
State Health Department has taken
up with the Pennsylvania and New
York Central Railroads the question
of vaccinating negro employees around
the yards and docks. The Merchants
Association has also been asked to
use its influence toward getting man
ufacturers and others to aid the local
health authorities in meeting the seri-
Gus situation which the city faces.
DR.. Dixon sent Associated Chief
Medical Inspector Hull to SaXton Fur
mace, where there has BEEN a fresh
outbreak of cases thought to have
originated by contact with members
of camp of southern negroes, among
whom infection was found last week.

pursued, "he looks up this Johore

me the name belonging to the

Up to this stage I had formed
no very high opinion of Mr.. Stru-
ber's astuteness; now, without
the slightest warning, he gave me
a genuine jolt of surprise. In
the same eolorless tone that
marked the balance of his recital,
he asked:

In the face of this curt hint,
Mr.. Struber could scarcely do less
than take his leave.

Both men listened impassively

addressing me.

No." | replied but | had in

Have you some particular
thing-paper, document, any
thing of the kind - that some
person is especially anxious to

toned.

desperate risks to secure at

But if such a thing exists"
was the chiefs comment, nobody
besides yourself would know
positively where it was"
| was still constrained to keep
silent about the diamond.
1t was Mr.. Struber who put a
period to the situation. He clap
ped his hat upon his head and
moved toward the door.
Leave it to me, Chief" he
said bluntly. "I'll go with Mr..
Ferris" and addressing me: T'd
like to lamp that office O. yours
again before anybody has a
chance to mess around in 1t. Let's
beat it."
There is nothing more dreary
or forsaken than the inside of a
modern business building on a
Sunday morning. Struber remain
ed silent until we arrived at the
outer office door.

Struber had not paused to dwell
upon the aspect of the outer
room, seeming to divine that my
private room must hide whatever
1t was he was expecting to find.
The door between the two rooms
stood ajar, and an exclamation
from the detective brought me
speedily to him.

marveled.

and echoed his establishment.
First, l noted that the safe door
stood open. A few papers were
scattered over the floor. With a
start. l recognized one of the
small ivory boxes.
And then my attention became
riveted upon a figure huddled be-
hind the safe door. l only had
time to make out the familiar blue
blouse and loose flowing breeches
of the Chinese coolies attire,
when Struber pushed the safe
door to, permitting the light to
fall squarely upon the motion

A long, low whistle escaped
him. He reached down and
