Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract Sc
we're colds and recover from them
without taking any precaution or
treatment, and a knowledge of this
fact leads others to take their
chances instead of giving their
colds the needed attention. 1t
should be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the
vitality, makes the system less able
to Withstand each succeeding at
tack and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. Can you af-
ford to take such desperate chances
when Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy, famous for it's cures of bad
colds may be had for trifle?

HEART REVIVED BY MASSAGE
Or. Petit Of Buenos Aires Pertorms
Remarkable Feat on Woman Pat'ens
Who Receivers After Long Fight.

Doctor Petit Of Buenos Aires was
shocked on making an incision IN a
woman's abdomen to find that no
blood flowed and that his patient was
pulseless. She had collapsed under
the chloroform. Artificial respiration
had no effect. Caffeine was injected
both under the skin AMI into the veins
with no result.
The surgeon then extended the IN.
cision he had made, inserted his hand
and took hold Of the woman's heart 10
massage it. He squeezed the heart
with both hands, but at first 1t ola not
respond. All at once powerful con-
traction was felt, followed by others.
The massage was stopped, but had to
be resumed at once. The contractions
reappeared but the massage was con-
tinued and limitations Of oxygen were
given. At last the patient was out OF
danger.
She remained unconscious for q
long time, and when She recovered
had no idea how close she had been to
passing out. Her recovery was very
slow. being complicated BY violent DC

MAN GIVEN UNIQUE SENTENCE
English Judge on Record as Ordering
Him to Serve the Preceding
Day in Jail.

One of the most famous members OF
the English bench was Judge William
Henry Maule of the common pleas
court of London. 1t is told OF him,
the Detroit News recalls, that one DAY
when a jury yawned through a long
series of testimony, and finally when
the majority of the u good men and
true seemed on the verge Of going to
sleep and the rest to have lost all IN
terest in the case he abruptly closed
the testimony and the jury filed out.
Although the evidence proved the pris-
oner innocent, and even the prosecut'
ing attorney admitted it, the Jury
brought in a verdict of guilty.
The Judge being thus forced to give
sentence, did so as follows: prisoner
at the bar, your counsel thinks you IN
nocent, the counsel for the prosecution
thinks you innocent, / think you lnno'
cent. But a jury Of your countrymen
in the exercise Of such common sense
as they possess, which does not seem
to be much, have found you guilty
stupidly enough, and 1t remains FOL
me to pass upon you the sentence o.
the law. The sentence is that you d.
kept in Imprisonment for one day, ant
that day to be yesterday, therefore yo'
NAV 20 about your business"

Reads for Insulation.

In certain installations, SUCH as
radio equipement, arc lamp wiring and
laboratory apparatus, it Is often nee
essary to resort to beads for insular'
Ing hare wires. Heretofore, says the
scientific American. the beads have
been Of plain design, with rounded
ends. resulting in a rigid covering
which prevented the covered WIRE
from being bent as desired, or ieft
bared sections Of the wire between
the beads because fewer beads mad

bending.
An English concern has recently
Introduced a new type Of bead when

nnct style Of their own, great mems
tailoring houses have gone into the
manufacture Of coats for women, u.s.
Ing the same fabrics as are used IN
mems coats, sticking to mannish lines
and ignoring ornament. These coats
have made q success, especially with
people who like simple designs and
are appreciative Of fine lines and
workmanship or the intangible ele-
ment Of good style.
Fabric fur, which is the name given
to those pushes that initiate natural
fur, has come In for much attention
on the part Of famous designers, and
they have used it In very handsome
coats and in suits also. Natural or
pelt fur furnishes the collar or COL
lar and cuffs on many Of these rich
wraps. The majority Of coats are
those made Of fashionable coatings like
those shown in the picture above, and
designers use both natural and fabric

that she would make a better wife for
him. and better mother for his chill

had about run out. At any rate, jim
