Dr. Harvey W. Wiley was asked the

"No, I haven't," Doctor Wiley re-

Council Bluffs, la.—Some strenuous
construction work w^s done here
when a freighthouse, destroyed by
fire, was rebuilt almost over night.
At 6:45 o'clock on a Saturday eve-
ning the freighthouse of the Chicago
and Northwestern railway was de-
stroyed by flre. The building. 36 by
310 feet, included the office, which
was two stories high.
The problem presented was how to
provide freighthouse facilities for the
opening of business on Monday morn-
ing. It was decided to solve the prob-
lem by putting up a new building.
The telegraph and telephone were
men and material, and other forces
had arrived on different passenger
trains, so that about eighty mechanics
and artisans were on hand at seven
o'clock. Twenty men arrived from
the w est at eleven o'clock. Then the
work was under way in earnest.
It was found that the transfer plat-
forms and the platform in front of
the old building had not been de-
stroyed by the flre, so it w^a decided
to erect a temporary building directly
upon the floor of the larger transfer
platform. The frame was up and
par'.'v sheathed at 11:30 a. m. At five
o'clock in the afternoon the building
was entirely inclosed and the roof
was nearing completion.
By Monday morn*** th<* building
was entirely finished, 26 feet wide and
120 feet long. The work was contin-
ued till the building was 176 feet long
over ail. Platforms were built, but
the building built on Sunday was en-
tirely finished and ready for business
by Monday morning.
a vigorous enemy of the alfalfa weevil,
an evil which threatens to spread
throughout the alfalfa farming terrl*
tory of the west as the cotton boll
weevil has spread in tke south. So
far the weevil has appeared only in
Utah and part of Wyoming, but a doz-
en other states, It is said, will be af-
fected within a few years unless a real
enemy of the pest is introduced to
fight it.
The biological survey Is planning to
experiment with other birds this sum-
mer and will not recommend that the
English sparrow be sent into the al-
falfa territory unless no other effec-
tive enemy of the weevil can be
found. The bureau of entomology has
received from its agent in Italy a num-
ber of parasites which feed on the
alfalfa weevil and these will be sent
to Utah at ouce.
Elgin, 111.—"After fourteen years of
suffering everything from female com-
plaints, I am at last
restored to health.
" I employed the
best doctors and
even went to th#
hospital for treat-
ment and was told
there was no help for
me. But while tak-
ing Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable
Compound I began
to improve and I
continued its use until I was made well."

duty to write and say what Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has

THANKSGIVING PSALM
A Rhythmical and Grateful Chant.
A teacher in a Terre Haute publto
school joins in the chorus:
"Teaching is a business which re-
quires a great deal of brain and nerve
fcyce. Unless this force is renewed as
fast as expended the teacher is ex-
hausted before the close of the year.
Many resort to stimulating tonics for
relief. , . .
"For 3 years I struggled against al-
most complete exhaustion, getting
what relief I could from doctors' ton-
ics. Then in the spring of 1903 I
had an attack of la grippe and ma-
laria which left me too weak to con-
tinue my work. Medicine failed to
give me any relief, a change of cli-
mate failed. I thought I should never
be able to go back in school again.
"I ate enough food tthe ordinary
meats—white bread, vegetables, etc.),
but was hungry after meals.
"I happened at this time to read an
article giving the experience of an-
other teacher who had been helped by
Grape-Nuts food. I decided to try
Grape-Nuts and cream, as an experi-
ment. It was a delightful experience,
nnd continues so after a year and
a half of constant use.
"First, 1 noticed that I w'as not
hungry after meals.
"In a few days that tired feeling left
me, and I felt fresh and bright, in-
stead of dull and sleepy.
"In three months, more than my usual
itrength returned, and 1 had gained 15
pounds in weight.
"I finished the year's work without
any kind of tonics—wns not absent
Irom duty even half a day.
"Am still In best of health, with
all who know me wondering at the im-
provement.
"1 tell them all 'Try Grape-Nuts!

SPARROW AS PEST KILLER

Washington, D. C.—The English
sparrow, originally imported Into this
country to destroy insect pests, but
known chiefly in recent years as a
pest among birds, may come into its
own again, according to the officials
of the government biological survey.
It has been found that the sparrow is
BRAIN SMALLER THAN CHILD'S
Late Dr. Musser Shown to Have
Developed Along One Line
Only
Philadelphia.—Experts at the Wis-
ter Institute of Anatomy have Just
completed the examination of th©
brain of Dr. John H. Musser, a noted
diagnostician who died recently. They
found that Dr. Musser's brain weigh-
ed less than that of a well-developed
child. It w'as 20 ounces lighter than
the brain of Daniel Webster and 24
ounces lighter than that of Jaines
Fisk, the New York gambler who was
murdered a few years ago. Scientists
say Dr. Musser developed along one
line, not broadening out in all lines,
and therefore not fully developing all
parts* of the brain.

WANTED OPERATION AS JOKE;
Occupant In County Jail Thought It
Would Be Much More Comfortable
In Hospital.
Cleveland—Jack Ohbaum, a county
Jail prisoner, charged with contribut-
ing to the delinquency of minor chil-
dren, was a very sick man. At least,
be told deputy sheriffs he was very
sick. He moaned, groaned, tossed and
rolled.
"It's here," and Ohlbaum pointed to
hie right side.
Deputy fclieriffs were at first solici-
tous. When the Jail supply of medi-
cines failed to bring any improvement
they became alarmed. They sent for
the county physician, Dr. A. E. Mc-
Clure, Dr. McClure came, examined,
prescribed and left.
But Ohlbaum still rolled, tossed,
moaned and groaned. He murmured
something about "colic" and "appen-
dicitis," and deputy sheriffs again
sent for Dr. McClure.
Dr. McClure was skeptical on his
second visit, however. Again he ex-
amined, but this time he winked and
telephoned for a fellow practitioner
who makes a specialty of surgery. The
surgeon arrived and was escorted to
Ohlbaum's cell by Dr. McClure, there
a dazzling array of sharp-edged kniv®®
and operating instruments was laid
"What's those for?" anxiously in-
quired Ohlbaum.
"We are going to operate, said r.
McClure; "you said you had append
"Wow !" exclaimed Ohlbaum. Don t
cut me open. I ain't sick. Honest, I
ain't. I was Just fooling"
Stole $4,000,000 in Jewels
Stanislaus Zalog Writes from Chicago
Solution of the Pauline Monas-
tery Puzzle.
Warsaw, Russian Poland.—The mys-
tery surrounding the theft from the
Pauline Monastery at Czenstochowa
of Jewels and votive offerings valued
at $4,000,000, which since 1909 has
puzzled the brothers, seems at length
to bo solved by the receipt of a letter
from Chicago.
The writer of this communication
to the monastery confesses that he.
Stanislaus Zalog, was the thier; that
he was then a lay brother, and that
Father Dainatlus, who is now serving
a sentence in the Siberian mines for
the murder of his cousin, was not im-
plicated, as has always been sup-
posed.
The letter seems genuine and the
Russian police are taking steps to
have Zalog arrested, but the former
brother defies the police to trace him.
It appears that Zalog remained at the
monastery more than a year after the
theft and not until Dainatlus was ar-
rested did he escape to America.
The robbery of the Jewels which
decked the ikon of the Virgin and
Child in the Pauline Monastery cre-
ated a great stir three years ago, and
when, In October, 1910, Father Dnina-
tlus was arrested In Austria for the
murder of his cousin, Vaclav Macoch
—which crime he confessed—it was
believed that the motive for the deed
was to be found In a deMre to shut
tae mouth of a man who coi:ld testily
against him in the matter of the rob-
berv.
Damatius admitted the murder, but
denied the theft of the Jewels. He ad-
mitted also that he had taken money
from the treasury and had squandered
It upon Helena Ostrowska, wife of the
man he murdered. He told how his
servant, Stanislaus, evidently the man
now confessing the thefts, had assist-
ed him in disposing of the body in a
largo ottoman, which together they
threw Into the River Varta. Stanislaus
Zalog disappeared and has never been
heard of until now.
The most valuable thing stolen was
the Jeweled crown from the head of
the Virgin.

Everett, Wash.—Everybody connect-

clares the cat deliberately and pre
meditatedly destroyed herself by in
haling gas.
The cat had been a great favorite
with her two masters. The way she
captured mice and rats endeared hei
to their hearts.
When the proprietors opened their
place of business the other morning a
strong smell of gas met them. Sh"
was in a position tha' evidently gave
her some trouble to reach. Further,
she had loft her kUtens a few da\s
ago and had evinced a deje< ted spirit
losing her appetite for mice, rats and
milk.
