"One Trick q Day"
ATTACHING A COIN TO THE WALL

ATTACHING A COIN TO THE WALL
 This trick is not really intended for exhibition purpose. It is only one of those little mystifying sleight-ot- hand illusions that puzzle everyone on account of their spontaneity
 Secretly notch the rim of a quarter so that a sharp point of the silver will stick up take the coin in your hand and, placing the ragged portion against the woodwork and applying considerable pressure, it can be made to adhere to the wall This will not lessen the value of the coin at all. However, do not permit anyone in the audience to see the prepared quarter after you have performed the trick. Have another, ordinary one, ready to hand around for inspection, dropping the other unobserved Into your pocket

 Between the hot coals of the parlor grate, or the red embers of the camp fire, place half dozen oysters, mouths outward with the deep part of the shell at the bottom. Light pipe and watch them roast.
 In few minutes their mouths will gape at you. Remove them and tn- sert others Appetite is the only rel ish needed. I cannot tell you now many to roast-for either one or six persons there may not be that many oysters.

BY international News Service.

JEANETTE, Pa, May 3.-Tuber-

medical men since the dawn of
civilization, can be permanently
cured, according to DIR. William p.
Nolan, of this city. He has treated
many patients in the last ten years
and they have recovered, he told

In the. past it has been the aim
OF medical men to treat along lines
of. prevention, then still later the
idea of fresh air. rest and a careful
diet was developed Dr. Nolan sail,
adding that while such treatments
may be beneficial still it is neces-
sary to go farther than that The
disease must be attacked at the
seat of origin. 1t is necessary to
put a potent drug into the lungs
by inhalation. BY no other means
can you attack the disease.
Carbon and other chemicals have
a tendency to break up the mucus,
dry up the tubercular LESSONS on
the lungs and build wall around
the infected centers preventing the
spread of the infection and at the
same time eliminating it,
DIR. Nolan said his treatment deals
with pulmonary tuberculosis only
Fellow members of the West
Moreland County Medical Society,
have received the Nolan claims
with conservation. DIR. Thomas st.
Clair, of Latrobe, president of the
society, issued this statement:
"As president of the West More
land County Medical Society, /
wish to say that claims made by
a doctor are absolutely without en-
dorsement of the society, and we
feel such claims are productive of
great harm. The paper on the
treatment of tuberculosis as read
at a regular meeting of the County
Medical Society was considered by
those who heard it as merely an
effort to work out theory"
