Cub's Faux Pas.
This may be a base libel on an hon-
ored profession, hut It is told by the
man who perpetrated the faux pas.
He was a reporter for a Baltimore pa-
per—or had been one for about an
hour, this being bis first experience In
newspaper work- when the city editor
sent him out lo see Cardinal fllbbons.
The "cub" rushed down to the modest
white house where tbe venerable pre-
late liven, says the Philadelphia Eve-
ning Ledger, and rang tbe bell. A man
servant opened the door.
"Is the caidlnal at home?" asked tbe
reporter
"No, sir."
"Oh. Mrs. Ribbons will do." ejacu-
lated Ibe "cub."
A REBELLION
Food Demanded.
Tbe human body will stand a lot of
abuse, but sometime It will surely re-
bel and demand proper food In place
of tbe pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which It has been made sick.
Then la tbe time to try Orape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food In
the world.
A lady of Washington toys: 'Three
years ago I was very ill with catarrh
of the stomsch and was given up to
die by one doctor. I laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that I could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
of this starvation that my daughter
conld easily lift me from bed and put
me in 'my chair.
"But weak as my stomach was. It
accepted, relished snd digested flrape-
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
"I am now strong and in better
health than for a great many years
snd am gradually growing still
stronger. I rely on Grape-Nuts for
much of the nourishment that 1 get.
Tbs results have certainly been won-
derful In my case snd prove that no
atoms'li Is so weak It will not digest
Orape-Nuts.
"My baby got fat from feeding oo
'Irape-Nuts, I was afraid I would
Uaf« to stop giving the ford to him,
but I guess)lt Is s healthy .at, (or bis
health Is just perfect." Name given
by Postuiu Co., nattle Creek, Mich.

Tou're bilious! Tour liver is slug-
gish! You feel lazy, dizzy and all
knocked ouL Your head is dull, your
tongue is coated, breath bad; stomach
sour and bowels constipated. But don't
take salivating calomel. It makes you
sick, you may lose a day's work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking It up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea end cramp-
ing
If you want to enjoy the nicest, gen-
tlest liver and N« 'el cleansing you
ever <xperienced just take a spoonful
of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone. Your
druggist or dealer sells you a 50-cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone under
my personal money-back guarantee
that each spoonful will clean your
sluggish liver better than a dose ot
nasty calomel and that it won't maks
you sick.
Dodscn's Liver Tone Is real livei
medicine. You'll know it next morn-
ing because you will wake up feeling
fine, your liver wUl be working, your
headache and dizziness gone, your
stomach will be Bweet and your bowels
regular. You will feel like working;
you'll be cheerful; full of vigor and
ambition.
Dodson's liver Tone Is entirely
vegetable, therefore harmless and can-
not salivate Give It to your children!
Millions of people are using Dodson's
Liver Tone instead of dangerous cal-
omel now. Your druggist will tell you
that the sale of calomel Is almost
stopped entirely here.
LIMITED CHOICE OF VIANDS
Guest Who Didn't Care for Salmon
Was in Fair Way to Have Hot
Breakfast.
In some parts of the Canadian
back country the recurrence of
boiled salmon, broiled salmon, Bal-
mon cutlets, and salmon steak at ev-
ery meal becomes, after a few weeks,
a trifle monotonous. To the native
palate, brbught up on It, this constant
reappearance of the selfsame dish Is a
matter of course; but to the newly
arrived tourist it grows at least Into a
feeble Joke.
"Is there nothing else for break-
fast?" said one such victim of colonial
hospitality, as a whole fish and a pot
of mustard were laid before him on
the table."
"Nothing else!" replied the host. In
surprise. "Why, there's salmon
enough there for six, ain't there?"
"Yes," responded the guest, mild-
ly; "but I don't care for salmon."
"Well, then, fire into the mustard,"
was the rejoinder.

have made history. I am never going i
to quit until I have carried the gospel
of good roads into every school in the
state. I want them and everybody to
understand that only by proper meth-
ods can roads be built. We must first
have the highway engineer, who does
for road building what the architect
does for a residence building. Then a
comprehensive knowledge of drainage
area and drainage must be gotten and
then intelligent direction of the forces
which do the actual work."

The state highway department will
organize any school districts for this
educational road work. A line to the
department will get immediate par-
ticulars. There Is no cost to schools
Mighty Handy.
Some negroes are Insatiable
"jlners," and their favorite organiza-
tions are those which assure an os-
tentatious funeral.
A mistress was remonstrating with
her servant about belonging to one
of them.
"Bonnlbel, don't you think It is
mighty foolish to pay the 'Friends
and True Mourners' society* twenty-
five cents every month?"
"Naw'm, Miss Ma'y. I don't. You
see, dee ain't like some of de s'cletias:

lars at the grave, en you know thirty

Accuracy First.
Far down in the basement is a ma
chine of particular interest to astron-
omers and scientists. It is the cele-
brated dividing engine, which makes
it possible, to the delight of mathema-
ticians, to divide a circle accurately,
even to within one second of arc—
surpassing the records of all previous
dividing engines. This degree of ac-
curacy was accomplished after years
of experiments In a room heated to
80 degrees, or as near as practicable to
the heat of the body of the operator,
for even a breath might interfere with
the tiny scratches on the silver bands
of the revolving disk.—An Afternoon
