Cured by Gold Injections,

The very latest postwar discovery
Is the curing of certain ailments by
means of injections of diluted gold.
This very expensive method Of restor-
ing lost health was discovered by
French doctor, who has completely
cured wealthy Partisan Of a complaint
similar to shell-ShOck. Although gold
is very scarce at present, a limited
supply IS available for medicinal pur-
poses. The price for one injection Of
good quality gold sometimes reaches
the fifty-pound mark, while In one or
two exceptional cases gold injections
have cost over a hundred pounds each.
Consequently, only very rich persons
can at present undergo this gold
treatment, which has been successful
In rescuing several cases Of complete
nervous breakdown. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that the gold It.
self is Of no great value as a tonic.
The idea In making the injections Is
to liven up the patient and prevent
him or her from brooding too serious
ly. This done, doctors believe that
half the battle is won. Strange to
say, the injections are not made
through the usual type of syringe. but
generally through a conical-shaped
tube Of pure platinum costing over
twelve hundred dollars.

II You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? tn,
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. Thii
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for In
almost every case it shows excellent re.
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,

CONDITIONS NOW AND IN 1865
According to General Sherman's
Memoirs, History Seems to Be
Merely Repeating Itself.

A single page In the story of the
Civil war, the Memoirs of General
Sherman, carries observations by two
Ohio men prominent in that war, Gen
eral Sherman himself and Secretary
OF War Stanton, that have a strange
ly familiar sound now amid the dis
treSsing conditions that have followed
the World war here.
General Sherman has arrived with
his story at the opening of the year
1865, and he is dealing with the clos
ing events of the Civil war. He is
at Savannah and the secretary Of war
Is there, partly on an official visit and
partly for recreation. The policy of
enlisting slaves is under discussion
and the order giving the freed slaves
the right to occupy seized lands is
agreed on.
He prOfeSSed to have come from
Washington for rest and recreation"
writes General Sherman, "and he
spoke unreServedly Of the chickering's
and jealOusies at the national capital,
Of the interminable quarrels of the
state governors about their quotas
and more particularly of the very ex-
istence of the government itself.
"He said that the price Of every
thing had so risen in comparison with
the deprecated money that there was
danger of national bankruptcy, and he
appealed to me, as a soldier and pa.
triot, to hurry up matters so as to
bring the war to a close.
II was quite impatient to get off,
myself, for city life had become dull
and tame, and we were all anxious to
get into the pine woods again, free
from the opportunities of Southern
women asking for protection, and Of
civilians from the North who we're
coming to Savannah for cotton and
all sorts Of profit"
High prices, WEAKNESS Of the war
conditions, eagerness on all sides for
the return of peace, swarms of people
at WashingtOn-Official and private
citizens, with axes to grind, and spec
ulators from the North pushing right
down to the hostile lines in promoting
their prof1teering enterprises. But We
came through it.-Columbus Dispatch.

they we're not so much used. This
season, however, finds them revived,
and with midsummer just around the
corner, they have come out in cOnsid-
erable force and in distinct styles.
Many Of them appear to take their
cue from midsummer millinery, show
Ing repetition of the fabrics and col
Ors used in hats, and there are para
soils for dress, street and country wear
that correspond to dress, tailored and
sports hats. The simpler designs out
number the more elaborate ones.
For wear with almost any frOck the
green parasol with bands of black, or
cross bars Of black, and all white or
white and black designs have the fac

But If one is not confined to q single
choice, the made-to-match. parasol, of
the same materials as the hat worn
with it, is smarter than any other.
For the street there are navy blue and

the same combination, match a sea

Bird Protection important.

Preserving birds as game is only
one part Of the duty of the govern
rlent. They are even more valuable
as enemies of .noxious weeds and in
sects. They are the farmers best
friends, though he is too often oblivi-
Gus of the fact, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Those who care nothing for
their beauty of plumage and song must
recognize the Circumstance. Yet the
birds have been too long the prey Of
their human hunters. Some species
have been wellnigh exterminated In
consequence. To protect them in the
United States and Canada will ac-
complish much, though to make the
protection of many Of the migrants
complete Mexico and Central American
countries should join In the work.

"You said that as per usual you had

"But you didn't tell me what it was

Money.

After having studied the careers of
many of our richest men, and after
having obtained from many of them
an outpouring Of their inmost
thoughts, my conclusion about money
is this, says a writer in Forbes Maya
zine:
Money is a very desirable thing,
even a lot of It, Its possession en-,
ables one to do a great many things
which are impossible II one lacks it.
There Is no such potent material In
strument for enabling one to do wor-
thy deeds In large numbers and on a
large scale. Money, indeed, is so de-
sirables so useful, so rich In possibili-
ties for worthy accomplishment, that
one should exercise every honorable
effort to acquire every dollar Of 1t that
one can earn, but there is not enough
money in the world to compensate one
for turning even one sharp corner, for
never have / known an instance of ILL
gotten money to have yielded true hap
piness to possessor and his offspring"

GETTING AIona WIN People.

The ability to get on well with people
Is a very large factor in the happiness
of life. Cultivate it: Without sacrt-
ficing your own personality, without
being insincere or colorless, you can
learn to adapt yourself to those about
you, to avoid their prejudices, and to
draw out what Is lovable in them, in
stead of arousing their antagonism.
No accomplishment is more to be de-
sired than the simple ability to get
along with people.-Grls' Companion.

trees. One of these is shown in the
picture with handle in black and white
enamel, and this model proves very
practical. Black and white handles,
furnished with large rings to slip over
the wrist when the parasOl Is furled,
have proved very popular. Hanging
the parasOl in this way is about the
easiest and safest way of caring for it
when it is off duty as protector from
the sun. There are a number Of
bracelet ideas in handles, including
those Of narrow black ribbon with gold
or silver slides that carry engraved
mOnOgrams.
