the Action to the World
of Mortals.

The Greeks, who refined upon all
ancient and inherited customs, and
after them the Romans, had an eiab-
crate code by which they distinguished
whether a sneeze was to be regarded
as blessing or malign portent, the
distinction being made according TO
the time, place and circumstances.
Thus, if one sneeZed between mid
day and midnight, the augury was hap
Ply, unless the moon CHANGED at the
time to be in the sign of the Virgin,
the Balance, the Crab or the Scor-
pion, when it became an evil omen.
Both Greeks and Romans regarded
''sneezing to the right" that is, turn
ing to the right side as the sneeze oc-
CURED, as most happy omen.
Father Famien Strada, who has
made the most erudite researches into
the history and literature Of the
sneeze, says that Prometheus intro
duced II to mortals. He had made a

WHY TAKE
IAxATIvES?
Discovery by Science Has
Replaced Them.

Pills and salts give temporary relief
from constipation only at the expense
Of permanent injury, says an eminent
authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature it
self.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this
natural lubricant is not sufficient.
Doctors prescribe Nujol because it
acts like this natural lubricant and
thus secures regular bowel movements
by Natures own Standardization
AS Nujol is not a medicine or laxa-
tive, it cannot grippe and, like pura
water, 1t is harmless and pleasant.
Nujol is used in leading hospitals.

of the passengers. Not only this, but
and this seemed quite conclusive to
them-you admitted that you were
the one who had called upon Warden
the evening Of his murder. 1t seemed
likely, too, that you were the only
person on the train aside from my
daughter and Avery who knew who
was; for l had had reason to believe
from the time when l first heard you
speak when you boarded the train,
that you were someone with whom
had previously, very briefly come in
contact; and l had asked my daugh-
ter to find out who you were, and she
had tried to do so, but without sue
cess"
Eaton wet his lips.
"Also," the blind man continued,
"there was a telegram which definite
ly showed that there was some con-
nection, unknown to me, between you
and me, as we'll as a second-or
rather a suspicious tele-
gram in cipher, which we were able
to translate"
Eaton leaned fo. ward, impelled to
speak; but as Santoine clearly detect
ed this impulse and waited to hear
what he was going to say, Eaton re-
considered and kept silent
you were going to say something
about that telegram in cipher? San
tome asked.
NO" Eaton denied.
81 think you were; and l think that
a few minutes ago when l said you
were not surprised by the attempt
made today to run you down, you
were also going to speak of it; for
| that attempt makes clear the meaning
of the telegram. It's meaning was not
clear to me before, you understand

| followed. 1t did not say why you
were followed. l could not be certain
| of that; there were several possible
reasons why you might be followed

| ested in preventing you from an at
tack on me. Now, however, l know

who was following was because you

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Koot,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has SO many friends.
Be sure to get SwampRoot and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

month, the Motion Picture Produc

dissolution.

ed owing 10 the heavy financial loss
which win he prorated amoug pro
ducers, it is said. Reynolds was
forced to resign from several com
panies, some time back because his
connection with the exposition
made it appear it was charged, as
if it had some direct connection
with the Motion Picture associa-
tion. While the association was an.
Xious to aid the exposition, and ad-
vanced large sums of money shortly
before the exposition opened, i. did
not officially sponsor it,
The exposition was under the
management of Chicago men who

Victiial OF Hot
Day Jokers

A midsummer joke, q faxed
raid, and q spurious warrant
caused Shorty Harris, well
known among local citizens, to
pass considerable time in tie
hot city Jail Wednesday after
noon. Harris, Jimmy Ap-
plegate and George Caldares,
calling themselves the Livery
mems Beneficial Association
were told to clear out of Bob
by Burns drug store, where
they have been enjoying after
noon siestas duringi the sum
mar, and did SO, taking part
Of the furniture with them,
reorganizing their quarters in
Charlie Pitzer's livery stable.
Through the connivance Of
Applegate, Caldares and Burns,
a warrant was served on
Harris as president of the ciuD,
ana theugh he managed TO gc5
away from the police station
after offering $50 bail money,
he was rearrested at tho
drug store by Applegate, despite
his pleas of friendship and ef-
forts to resist the policeman,
who hauled him through the
city streetG with a pair of
'nippcrs' on him, and lodged
him in the city Jail, where the
thermometer and odors reach
unknown heights.
After Harms mad sufficient
time to reflect on what lovely
place the North Pole must be,
and had been subjected to wi
sits of coincidence from his
friends, he was released and
the organization has resumed
it's sessions at the drug store,
while Fifth street is waiting
to see what kind of revenge will
be taken on Applegate, who
now has two ''summer crimes
