 AUTOINTONICATIoN

Autointoxlcation is believed by many laymen to refer to poisoning of the blood stream of absorption of waste matter from the intostines. This. of course. brings up the condition of intestinal obstruction, or a severe case of constipation
 In reality this is not true. There arc rare cases, perhaps. when condi- tions Of this kind happen and produce trouble, but not real standardization. It is possible in severe cases of strangulated hernia tcomplete bowel obstruction) or in rare cases Of peri- tonitis. Even then it is doubted by many leading physicians if the poisoning of the system may be at- tributed to absorption from the intes- tines.
 In my observation, the poisoningis due more to septic matter, which is the result of putrefaction in the gan grenous tissues of the system.
 That there is such a condition most medical men admit. The real scientific definition Of this condition is rather vague. It may therefore be described as a kind Of poisoning, which oc- CUTS in the body when certain pro- cesscs interfere with the systems growth and repair (metabolism). Dia- betcs will cause this condition, also certain acid conditions Of the blood. Blood condition, partial coma in ad- vanced stages of diabetes, uremic poisoning, all have the symptoms Of what is usually called self-poisoning or standardization.
 The real scientific conception of this trouble docs not lend itself to any fixed cause, definition or particular treatment Therc is always present, in any case where standardization may be said to exist, lack of oxygenation. If the self-poisoning is due to this agent. or rather lack of it, one can readily avoid it by proper exercise and open air in most eases.

 I smiled at her nonsense, but l felt anything but mirthful as I went in search of my little maid, finding her in the haymow with her apron over her head, the familiar token of emo ton on Katie's part.

A large crowd or enthusiastic maii- men attended the show at the Lyceum
 theater last evening and enjoyed the showing of that great melodrama- "The Mailman" which will sbe re- peated tonight and tomorrow. It's wonderful picture, filled with thrills and suspense and has made 8 deep impression on those who have seen it.

Katie Was Stricken With a
 Great Fear

You're a good girl. Katie" my mother-in-law quayered as my little maid rose from her knees by the fire place where she had coaxed kindlinG and shavings into a glorious blaze Her voice was so mild. her words so astonishing that Katie stared openly at her, and then not to be outdone by the other or the ancient feud be- ween them. darted over to the bed side. and seizing one of Mother Gra- hams hands. kissed it fervently in the funny old way way which l have always found so quaintly attractive in the faithful girl
 T no goot girl" she protested. T bad girl, saucy by you, shoost now, too. but I not be bad to you again"
 She dropped the hand and rushed out of the room before my august mother-in-law had an opportunity to repel the familiarity, as she would term it, of the girls manner. To my surprise 1 saw that katie's face. when turned away from Mother Graham, was working as if she were trying to keep back the tears.
 What in the world do you sup pose is the matter with her?" my mother-in-law demanded queriously. Its a pity anybody cant say a de- cent word to her without her going of the handle like that. Really, Margaret, you ought to speak to her about that habit of hers of kissing peoples hands. You know how I hate to be pawed-by strangers"
 
 She dragged in the last words after q pause, and I reflected a little grimly that I did well know her aversion to caresses. Anyone more stiffly starched in mind and man. ner than my mother-in-law would be hard to find. though when one gets down beneath the ice, as I had done in the days following her daughters death, one finds a loving tenderness almost unbelievable.
 I have learned something else about Dicky's mother also, fin the years since We have been together, and that is that she seldom means all the harsh things she says. It was with the purpose of testing this observation that I replied to her out burst with quiet:
 'I'll speak to her at once about 1t. She has no business annoying you in that manner
 moved to the door as I Spoke, but with my hand on the knob, my mother-in-law stopped me impera- lively.
 Haven't you the sense you were born with 10 go upsetting that girl on this day of all days? She's trying her best to be nice about the children, and you certainly can wait to disei- pline her until the excitement is' over"
 I valisntly reprossed A smile at this piece of inconsistency, and my mother-in-law. unnoting, went on with a worried accent. But I do think you ought to go out and And out what's the matter with her. I'm afraid the girls sick. never saw her ready 10 apologize for her impudence to me before. It would be awful if she were coming down with something just at this l time" "Oh. I think she's perfectly well. l Mother" I began. but an imperative i uplifted hand reminded me that her strength Of mind and body was re- turning. |

'IITTLE NELLIE KELLY" ON
 PARSONS STAGE, HARTFORD
George M. Cohan Scores Another Hit in Musical Comedy-His Best
 in Recent Years.
(By The Herald Reviewerl. |.

(By The Herald ReNleWefl.
 Little Nellie Kelly" poppy, joyful tuneful and bubbling over with mer. riment, won her way into the hearts of a large audience as the guest oi George NJ. Conan at Parsons theateI in Hartford last night. This musical comedy, with an excellent cast and at- tractiye chorus, is one which should please even the most critical. It is clean, humorous and good entertain nlent. That certain Conan type of humor and singing stamps the pro- duction as the best of the four musi- cal comedies which have been pro- duced in as many years by this Amer ican playwright and actor. It has all the charm of Mary and the viva ciousness which was found in "The O'Brien Girl"
 Unlike most musical comedies this one has plot which keeps the au- dience guessing until it is almost time to ring down the curtain on the last act. It is mystery, and one which is caused by the general darkening of the stage and someone making his getaway.
 Little Nellie Kelly is in two acts and five scenes and it is evident that much time was spent in preparing the sets for the scenes. The closing scene of act two was one Of the most artis- tic on Parsons stage within the year. There is the chorus which is attrac- lively dressed and the principals who wear charming gowns.
 The three outstanding song hits of the show are Nellie Kelly, l Love You" You Remind Me of My Moth er," and ''Till My Luck Comes Rolling Along" All members of the cast are worthy of praise. the singers for their excellent work and the dancers for providing their share of entertain- mcnt

 A better? He is the young man who has the arm which goes around the neck of a necker.
