Itrooklyn, her body slowly but surely
increasing in sue. She now woighs

U H tho most malignant and remark,
able caso of elephantiasis thut has i
brought to tho attontion of tho
medical fratornitv. Kvcry top in
the progress of tho disease, the
hourly condition of tho woman, her
action and moods, and a complete
hintory of tho oaso arc being carefully
noted and kept for the benefit of tho
medical world.
Her skin resembles that of an ule.
pliant. It is thick, hard and coarse.
It is said to bo so much liko that
of au elephant that it would be difficult
to tell tho difference. During
the last two years she has increased
in weight from U5U pounds to 5:1.').
The doctors doolare she may weigh
more than half a ton in ton years.
Heforo Mrs. Kelt was attacked by
tho disease she weighed about 141)
pounds. Sovon years ago sho experienced
an itching sensation in the
left leg. Somo days later tho itching
ceased, but it was followed by a
slight swelling. Kvory month sho
noticed tho swelling was greater aud
it was aceomprniod by pain.
Presently she began to got very
hoary. She wok on weight rapidly
on the body, arms and legs. The
face was not aflcotod. TJio body and
the legs loomed to inorcaso in size
correspondingly. For a long time
Mrs. Felt assumed sho was merely
increasing in weight from natural
cause;. She could not aooount for
the twitching and pain in lior body.
When Mrs. Felt weighed herself
two years ago aud found she tipped
the beam at -150 pounds, sho beoamo

not move about now except without
great difficulty. She now sufforod
terribly from pains of tho body. Her
head ached continually. She oould
gain relief only whon lying down.
A woek ago, when sho ws unable
to stand on her feet at all, a
diagnosed her caso as that of
elephantiasis. Ho suggested hor
to a hospital. Her daughters,
who arc wealthy, wished to send hor
to a privato institution, but at uone
of them woro there any facilities or
accommodations for such a case. Tho
Kings Couuty Hospital was the only
institution capabloof accommodating
her.

Good Citizen.
In a certain western
town lives ft gentleman
whoso nnmo is William
Dollar. They call hira
Dollar Bill when they
get funny. But Mr. Dollar
is ft dignified, enterprising,
good citizen.
Not every Dollar
Bill is a good citizen.
Many of them aro prono
to ignore tho claims of
their own community
and run uway to a big
city to bo apent. Mirny
millions of Dollar Bills
have left tho smaller
towns for tho overgrown
cities this present year of
our Lord.
BTow many Dollar
Bills have gono out of
TITIS TOWN loft
homo and gono to some
big city, never to return ?
Every time a Dollar
Bill leaves town it takes a two-cent stamp with it, for it goes
to a Mail Order Store. That helps the postmaster a little,
but it doesn't help the local merchant. It means just so
much less trado for him.

Shopping by Mail is
vastly unsatisfactory to
tho Female.
There isn't a woman
in nhristendom or in
Islam who doesn't prefer
ton times over tho
trip through a storo to
tho trip to tho postoffice.
Why, Lord bless
their .hearts, the ladies
love to shop I It's just as
unsatisfying and artificial
to shop by mail as to
make love by mail and
u. .'a the limit.
E t, while the women
. t walk through
' ie nf bargains, thoy
I v.v aUo to read about
tho bargains. When a
newspaper comes to tho
house, which page does
tho woman peruse first?
Tho page with the biggest
shopping ads. Sure
thing ! Won't fail one time in ton. Test it and see.
In communities whero tho merchants don't advertise
big enough to tompt tho women, what happens? Tho Mail
Order Catalogue comes along, full of attractive ads., with
prices put down in black and white. Tho women read tho
catalogue; thoy aro tempted by the bargains offered; they
send their money by mail.
Thus they miss nine-tenths of tho glory and joy of
shopping. But what olso can the poor ladies do ?
ra SS
ft
Now, Mr. Merchant of Our Town, be good to
the ladies. Give them some interesting reading
matter. Print some of your bargains in your home
paper. Put the prices there in black and white.
BE GOOD TO THE LADIES AND YOU'LL BE
PROSPEROUS.

Isn't it really a pity to doprivo tho ladies of ono of their
supreme delighte shopping, seeing things, inspecting

Which means just so much less cash circulating
in this community.
Which means just so much more social and
business stagnation.
Which means the stunting of the town's
growth just to that extent.
If you could figuro up tho Dollar Bills that leave town
in this secret manner, liko taking French leave which you
can't you would know just how much tho town is stunted
by indulgence in this mail order stunt.
If these Dollar Bills wero really good and enterprising
citizens thoy would stay at homo and circulate around, helping
tilings along.
How many of YOUR Dollar Bills tako tho midnight
express out of town on tho Envelope Route ?
