a regular watcher Of the reckless gam
bling in the baccarat rooms without

his abstention by saying: II am not

err his plea of comparative poverty
was well grounded or not, it is likely
that, as he looks about Europe and

THE KING OF LIARS

GO FAR as successful impostures are
~ concerned, Giuseppe Balsamo, bet
ter known by his adopted title of
Count Cagliostro" was undoubt-
eddy the most remarkable man the
world has ever produced, for he not
only numbered his victims by the thou
sands but practiced his chosen art Of
lying with such consummate clever
ness that he victimized cardinals and
princes as well as peasants and the
various classes lying between these
.categories. He was, in truth, 'sthe
king Of lars beside whom such mod
ern examples Of Cassie Chadwick and
Ponzi were the rankest amateurs.
AS a boy, Balsamo gave early evil
dence of his scheming tendencies, and,
after being expelled from school, was
placed in the apothecary shop of a
Sicilian monastery where he set about
to master the science of chemicals
and drugs, for which he appeared to
have a positive genius. 1t was while
in the apothecary's shop that Balsamo
sold to credulous peasant the secret
of a mythical treasure cave which
was supposed to be near by, but, when
the purchaser of the secret went to
examine the cave he was set upon by
"deviP' (Balsamo himself) and beat
en- nearly to death. For this escapade,
Giuseppe was banished from Sicily

FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIvES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not laxative
it cannot grippe. 1t is in no sense a
medicine And like pure water it is
harmless and pleasant
Nujol is prescribed by physicians;
used in leading hospitals. Get bottle

Field Buus as Toys.

The field bugs, known in America as
June bugs, have resumed their place
as toys for German children. An ex-
traordinary flood of the beetles has
sent hundreds of Berliners into nearby
forests and fields to catch thousands
of them and sell them to dealers who,
in turn, retail them to fond parents
and children. The bugs sell at ten for
a mark now, whereas before the war
a dozen could be bought for a few
pfennigs. The dealer makes 300 per
cent profit, those engaged in catching
them declare. Farmers encourage the
catching of the bugs as playthings for
city children, as they are destructive
to the foliage of orchards and vine
yards. The unusually large plague Of
field bugs has revived the custom Of
catching them for sale for the first
time since the war. An expert "catch-
er" usually brings in about 1000 bugs
a day. They live for about ten days as
playthings.
