Visionary Had Great Scheme for Use
On Pullman Cars.
One of the oddest ideas developed
recently was discovered by a man
who had advertised for opportunities
for investment. One of the answers
merely asked for an interview, stat-
ing that the idea was too valuable
to be communicated by mall. It was a
straightforward business communica-
tion and an appointment was made,
which was kept by a man who might
have been a lawyer or broker, so
far as outward appearances were con-
cerned. Only when he began to talk
did it become apparent that he be-
longed to the army of visionaries.
He found, he explained, that only
a small percentage of those who trav-
eled in sleeping cars were able to
obtain rest, owing to the roar and rat-
tle of the train. His invention was
designed to overcome this difficulty.
It was his plan to have small tubes
Installed along the sides of the cars
below and above tjie windows. A
slight opening at each end of the
berths would enable one to plug in an
earpiece similar to those used In pho-
nographs, and thus exchange for the
rattle of the trucks soft music to lull
them to sleep. One phonograph, he
explained, would supply the entire
car, and a slight extra charge might
be made for the use of the tubes.
For the cost of the patent he was
willing to let anyone come in for a
half interest, and he was much sur-
prised when this generous offer was
declined.
CHANGE FOOD
Some Very Fine Results Follow.
The wrong kind of food will put
the body In such a diseased condition
that no medicines will cure It. There
is no way but to change food. A man
In Mo. says:
"For 2 years I was troubled so with
my nerves that sometimes I was pros-
trated and could hardly ever get In a
tun month at my work.
"My stomach, back and head would
throb so I could get no rest at night
except by fits and starts, and always
had distressing pains.
"I was quite oertain the trouble
came from my stomach but two phy-
sicians could not help me and all the
tonics failed and so finally I turned
to food.
"When I had studied up on food
and learned what might be expected
from leaving off meat and the regu-
lar food I had been living on, I felt
that a change to Grape-Nuts would be
Just what was required so I went to
eating It
"From the start I got stronger and
better until I was well again and
from that time I haven't used a bit
of medicine for I haven't needed any.
"I am so much better In every way.
Fleer soundly nowadays and am free
frcm the bad dreams. Indeed this
food has made such a great change
In me that my wife and daughter
have taken it up and we are never
without Grape-Nuts on our table now-
adays. It is a wonderful sustalner
and we frequently have nothing else
at all but a saucer of Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakiast or supper." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
Good food and good rest. These
are the tonics that succeed where all
the bottled tonics and drugs fail.
Ten days trial of Grape-Nuts will
show one the road to health, strength
and vigor. "There's a reason."

St Petersburg, Sept 21.—While
still Insisting that General Kuropatkln
has sufficient troops at Mukden to
contest the Japanese advance, the war
office admits that it is not likely a
decisive battle will be fought there.
Everything goes to show that the
main Russian position is now at Tie
Pass, flanked by tbf. hills running out
on the left and by the river on the
right. Official reports to the war of-
fice are to the effect that the Japan-
ese did not make any further move to-
ward Mukden until September 17.
when reconnaissances in force disclos-
ed that they were still massing at
Yental and Bentzaiputze. No Japanese
have been discovered east of the lat-
ter point. The reconnaissances, Gen-
eral Kuropatkln says, were brilliantly
carried out by Generals Samsonoff's
and Rennekampff's Cossack brigade,
■with a mixed detachment of infantry
and artillery under Rennenkampff's
personal command. They captured a
village north of Bentziaputze, which
was used as a pivot. The Russians
drew off later, losing a few men killed
or wounded, after securing valuable
Information regarding the Japanese
strength position. A couple of days
earlier. General Mistchenosk's detach-
ment of Cossacks reconnoitered to-
ward Yentai at the cost of a few
score wounded as reported in the As-
sociated Press dispatch from Mukden,
September 10.
Associated dispatch from Mukden,
September 1C:
General Kuropatkln says he review-
ed yesterday the Thirty-seventh di-
vision commanded by General Chek-
mareff, which had then just arrived at
Mukden. It belongs to the first Eu-
ropean corps of which the Twenty-sec-
ond division, Generai Fanasovitch,
reached Liao Yang in time to take
part in the battle there. The appear-
ance of the newly arrived European
troops at Mukden, instead of being ev-
idence of the complete Russian con-
tration there, as many persons hasti-
ly assumed is more likely due to the
decision of General Kuropatkln to get
these fresh and untested troops in con
tact with the Japanese and give the
soldiers who suffered the brunt of the
fighting at Liao Yang an opportunity
to rest and recuperate.
Kuropatkin has ordered the issue of
heavy winter clothing in the middle
of October. The Russian troops
have already exchanged their sum
mer Khaki for their ordinary cloth
uniforms.
CHINESE MOVING EAST.
Those Who assisted Russians are
Leaving Mukden.
Mukden, Sept. 20—The armies hav-
ing recovered from the effects of the
recent fighting before Liao Yang, an
early development of the situation may
be expected. A mysterious movement
eastward is on foot on the part of
bands of Chinese suitable for military
service. All the leari'n" young Chi-
n4lo who have aided the Russians
are leaving Mukden.
Many Hurt In Wrack.
Junction City, Kans., Sept. 21—The
Pullman section of the eastbound At-
lantic express on the Union Pacific
was wrecked six miles north of here
by the rails spreading. The train
was traveling about forty miles an
hour. Three Pullman cars left the
track and the one at the rear of the
train rolled over a fifteen foot embank-
ment turning over three times. There
were thirty-two persons in this car.
Six of them were seriously injured
and the rest received slight but pain-
ful injuries.
Disarmament Completed.
Vallejo, Cal., Sept. 21—The disarm-
ament of the Russian transport Lena,
is completed. Her ammunition will
be removed today. It is probable that
the Lena will go to a private shipyard
for repairs to her boilers. A small
number of her crew will remain on
board her as a guard.
Bids for Battleships.
Washington. Sept. 20.—Bids for the
battleship New Hampshire and the ar-
mored cruisers Montana and the North
Carolina, will be opened at the navy
department on November 15.
Advancing From the East.
Mukden, Sept. 20.—It is reported
he-e that the Japanese are advancing
or. Mukden from the east. A strong
force of Russians is ready to meet
them.
'Mexican War Veterans.
St. Louis, Mo.. Sept. 19.—The Mexi-
can War Veteran's Association, which
has been in convention in this city,
was entertained at the Texas pavilion.
The feature of the programme exercis-
es, arranged in honor of the veterans,
was a characteristic address by "Pri-
vate" John Allen of Mississippi.
A QUICK RECOVERY.
A Prominent Officer of the Order of
Rebeccas writes to Thank Doan's
Kidney Pills for It.
Mrs. C. E. Bumgardner, a local offi-
cer of the Rebeccas, of Topeka, Kans.,

Ave., writes: "I used
Doan's Kidney Pills
during the past year.
for kidney trouble
and kindred ailments.
1 was suffering from
pains In the back and
headaches, but found
after the use of ore
box of the remedy
that the troubles
gradually disappeared

endorse your reme-
dy." (Signed) Mrs.

Author Made His Own Terms.
In Parisian literary circles they are
telling a new story about Eugene Sue
and the queer way in which he used
to bargain over his serial rights. His
"Mysteries of Paris" had Just ap-
peared and Sue was the man of the
moment. To him went the editor of
the Constitutlonnel, then one of the
leading French papers, for the pur-
pose of securing the rights as a serial
of whatever new work he had in
hand.
"I shall want $20,000 for it," replied
Sue, "payable today."
The editor said he was willing to
pay it, and produced his check book.
"Hold on," cried Sue, "there is one
condition. I understand that you have
the smartest carriage and pair in
Paris. I stipulate that you shall send
them every day to my house to bring
me my proofs and fetch my copy."
Though the request was rather an
odd one the editor agreed to it, and
as the work which he thus obtained
was "The Wandering Jew," he prob-
ably never repented of his bargain.
Midwinter Salad From Japan.
One of the products of Japanese
farms which may become popular and
its cultivation profitable among the
nations o' the west, is moyashl udo,
a remark .>le salad plant, which is
crisper than celery,possesses the com-
bined flavor of pineapple and young
lettuce, is devoid of fibers and comes
into outdoor maturity in midwinter.
It is predicted by American scientific
agriculturists who have been in Japan
and nuted the flavor, popularity, and
growing habits of the udo plant, that
it la destined to become as famous
and as important a table delicacy in
Europe and America as asparagus or
celery.
The udo plant has been grown in
the United States purely as a rare or
namental, as it was not supposed to be
edible. Now that it is known to pos-
sess a value which promises to give
it an honorable place with asparagus
and similar dishes, its cultivation by
American truck farmers may prove
decidedly profitable. It is to be re-
membered that what gives the udo
distinctive value is that it matures In
the winter time. When served udo
salad is as white as snow, and lustrous
like silk.—Booklovers' Magazine.
Convicts Who Play Ball.
At this season of the year every-
body thinks of base ball. Even the
prisoners in the Massachusetts state
prison at Charlestown, Mass., have
arranged a championship contest,
which is now being played out be-
tween eighteen teams drawn from the
various departments of the prison.
Games will be played regularly by the
convicts until the contest ends in
October.
The "lifers" have a team of their
own, and so have the choir and band.
The Colored prisoners boast of what
they call an "all-star aggregation."
Tailors, carpenters, shoemakers,
cooks, weavers, harness makers and
other workers in the several depart-
ments of the prison have each their
own special team.
There are several men in the prison
who were well-nown base ball players
before they went behind the bars.
They coach the others with the re-
sult that the convicts play a ball game
much above the average.
Mr. Hlllyer'a Burglar Alarm.
Mr. Hillyer was a heavy sleeper
He was a man, also, with a chronic
fear of burglars. It was these two
things that led him to have the win-
dow of his sleeping room equipped
with a burglar alarm of the latest and
most approved description.
A few mornings after the device had
been installed he came down to
breakfast with a grin on his face.
"I had a funny dream last night,"
he said. "I dreamed that a burglar
raised my window and the alarm went
off, but he didn't seem to mind It. He
rummaged the bureau drawers, found
my watch and pocket book and slip-
ped out the way he came In. By the
way," he added, "I forgot to bring my
watch and pocketbook. I'll go and
get them."
He went upstairs and returned in a
moment with an entirely different look
on -his r ce. The watch and pocket
book V'. , e gone. It had not been a
dream. " ouths' Companion.
Farmers Have Advantage.
The Rev. J. H. Lawrence, United
States government potato expert
grower, North Middleboro, Mass., be-
lieves that "there is more room in
the world for a farmer who can
preach than there Is for a minister
who had to farm to get a living."
Last of a Noted Gallows.
The wooden gallows In the jail yard
aas been torn down to make room for
a modern steel structure. By way of
a grim joke the sheriff's office spread
the report that Deputy SherifT Love
Intended to take the frame of the ven-
erable instrument of death to his
home and build a chicken house out
of it, on the theory that no negro, no
matter how ardent a lover of chick-
en meat, would dare to rob such a
hen roost
As a matter of fact, the old gallows
is to be split into kindling wood for
use in the furnace of the court house.
This morning a negro man who has
seen years of service as an attache of
the sheriff's office, was engaged in pil-
ing up the weather beaten lumber un-
der the steps of the portico on the
north side of the court house. The
steps, intact, lay stretched on the
ground.
"Many a man has taken his last
walk up those stairs," said a bystand-
er. "Indeed, they have," said the col-
ored man. "I have seen twelve of
them go that way—Hawes and Byars
and Scroggins and Ben Eldridge and
others. Makes me feel kind o' creepy
to handle this stuff, but I guess it will
burn all right"—Birmingham News.
Dyeing Blue Without Indigo.
The best dye for blue was formely
furnished by the indigo plant, but
chemists and scientists have been
able to procure from the by-products
of petroleum an aniline dye which for
almost all ordinary purposes has sup-
planted Indigo.
The Reason Why.
Drummond, Wis., Sept. 19 (Special)
—Whole families In Bayfield County
are singing the praises of Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills and the reason why Is given
in experiences such as that of Mr.
T. T. Wold, a well-known citizen here.
"I had such pains in my back that
I did not know what to do," says Mr.
Wold, "and as I came across an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills I sent
for a box. That one box relieved me
of all my pains. My wife also used
them and found them just what she
needed. I recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills as a sure cure for Backache and
other Kidney Troubles."
Backache Is one of the earliest
symptoms of Kidney Disease. Dodd's
Kidney Pille cure it promptly and per-
manently and prevent it developing
into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or
Bright's Disease.
Wood Lighter Than Cork.
Only one wood is known which is
lighter than cork. This is the marsh
anoua of Brazil.
Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will 8ave not only time, because It
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 oz.—one full
pound—while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack-
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from ail injurious chem-
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on band which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let-
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

It Is clearly shown in this young lady's letter that Lydia E.

of women; and when one considers that Miss Gannon's letter !■
only one of tlio countless hundreds which we are continually
publishing in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Bjnk-

of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear
this important fact in mind when they go into a drug store, and be sure not
to accept anything that is claimed to be " just as good" as Lydia r-i. I Ink"

made so many actual cures.
How Another Sufferer Was Cured.
•'Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I cannot praise your wonderful remedies
enough, for they have done mo more good than all the doctors I have
had. For the last eight years and more I suffered with female troubles,
was very weak, could not do my housework, also had nervous pros-
tration. Some days I would remain unconscious for a whole day and
night. S!y neighbors thought 1 could never recover, but, thanks to
your medicine, I now feel like a different woman.
" I feel very grateful to you and will recommend Lydia E. Pinto-
ham's Vegetable Compound to all. It has now been four years sinca
I had the last spell of nervous prostration. I only weighed ninety-
eight pounds at that time ; now I weigh one hundred and tvventy-tliree.

What Is the Cause of the Rapid Falling Off
of Man's Existence?
Adam lived 930 years—Noah died aged 950. For fourteen centuries man lived on vegetables and there was no decreaa*
in the years of life. From the time of the Flood to the time of Moses, about eight centuries, flesh eating existedand
there was a decrease of 800 years in the longevity of man. Is not the rapid falling off of man s existence traceable directly
to meat eating? The foods for a long life are those that come from Mother Earth—vegetables, fruits nuts and cereal*.
