of 218 36th St., ColnmbUi, Georgia, in a reuent

"Golden Medical Discovery" is free
from alcohol; it is pure medicine and noth

and "extracts" which tend to create an
appetite for stimulants, the "Discovery"
creates only a healthy natural temperance
appetite for good food which nourishes and
-strengthens. The medicine dealer who
says he has something just as gooa
knows that he falsifies. If he urges an in
ferior substitute it is to gain a few pennies
greater profit No matter how discour

advice which he will send you free-'and

Is It Malaria or Alum ?
Languor, loss of appetite, indigestion and
often feverishness are the common symptoms
of a physiological condition termed " mala
ria." All these symptoms may be and fre
quently are the effect of the nse of alnm
baking powders in food making. There is
no question about the poisonous effect of
alum upon the system. It obstructs diges
tion, prostrates the nerves, coagulates and
devitalizes the blood. All this has been
made clear, thanks to physicians, boards of
Health, and food c mmissions. So " highly
injurious to the health of the community '
does the eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, consider the alum
baking powders, that he says " their sale
shnnld ha nrohibited bv law.'
Under these circumstances it is worth the
while of every housewife to employ tne very
little care that is necessary to keep so danger
ous an element irom me iuuu oi nor muj.
A pure cream of tartar baking powder,
which is tne only Kino mat should be used,
ought to cost about 45 to 50 cents a pound.
Therefore, if you are paying much less,
something is wrong; if you are paying 26
cents or less per pounds, the powder, is cer
tainly made from alum.
Always bear' these simple facts in mind
wnen purcnasing baking powder.

are popularly called. Several years ago
a woman in the place and her husband
quarreled over the best way of ex
pounding the Scriptures to a Sunday
school class and were bo stubborn that
they separated and were finally di
vorced. This family controversy was taken
up by the town, which was soon dis
tinctly divided between the adherents
of the husband and the adherents of the
wife. The result was a large crop of di
vorces, and seven hnsbandless women,
including the original cause of the com
motion, joined together and rented the
town hotel. One of them did the cook
ing, another was parlor maid, a third
made np the beds, azrd so they divided
the work among them and ran the es
tablishment on the co-operative plan.

He Bent tile Pork.
Professor Comstock of Cornell In
speaking to his class on the trials of
scientists told this authentic tale of the
experience of a professor of Invertebrate
zoology in a sister Institution, which
had better be left nameless.
Trichinae in pork, the canse of the
frightful disease trichinosis in human
consumers, give a peculiar appearance
to meat, which is studded with little
cysts. It is then known to the trade as
"measly pork. The learned scientist,
wishing some for study, went ,to the
butcher and asked if he ever got any
measly pork.
"Sometimes," said the butcher cau
tiously, "but I always throw it away."
"Well, said the professor, "the next
time yon have any I wish you'd send
me np some, " meaning, of course, to his
laboratory.
The butcher stared at him, bnt said
he would. Three weeks passed, when
the professor, growing impatient, again
dropped in.
"Haven't yon found any measly pork
yetr
"Why. yes," said the butcher. "X
sent np two pounds a week ago."
A sickly grin broke over the pro
fessor's face.
"Where did yon send itt" said he.
"Why, to your house, of course," said
tw botcher. Kansas City Times.

Mrs. Bolivar heaved a deep sigh.
"Before we were married," she said,
"yon promised me that my slightest
wish would be your law."
"Did I?" said Mr. Bolivar, In a tone
of surprise.
"Yon said," continued Mrs. Bolivar,
"that you would give np the club and
not play poker any more. "
"Did I, really!"
"Yon swore that yon would give me
whatever I wanted and that I might go
to the seashore every summer and stay
as long as I liked. "
"Is it possible f N
"Yes. And you said that yon would
never take another drink and never flirt
the least little bit, and now yon "do all
these things and have not kept a single
promise. It proves conclusively to me
that yon never loved me. "
"I beg to differ from yon there, my
dear," said Mr. Bolivar oratorically.
"Your premise is all wrong. Your rea
soning is woefully at fault Your state
ments prove conclusively that I did love
you. In fact, I must have adored yon
madly if I told such whopping lies to
get you."
And with this vindication Mr. Boli
var considered the argument at an end.

The architect and his friend the
builder were driving back to the for
mer's office. They had been out to the
edge of the oity to look at some work
on which they were engaged. As they
drove by a certain house the builder
looked np at it proudly, saying: "There
is a house that I built myself. I not
only built it, but I drew all the plans.
Every bit of work in it is mina " The
architect looked at the house and smiled
In a provoking way.
The balder noticed the smile and

"In the daytime I had to do something
else, but every night I would sit np late

The architect looked at the house
again and smiled once more, and the

Again he turned hia eyes toward the
product of his brain, twisted his neck
to squint at it after the carriage had
