Ex-Governor George W.. Peek, of
Wisconsin, is funny and lie can't help
it. Since he quit publishing a newspa
per. he lectures occasionally and if the
mood strikes him just right he writes
about it. A recent experience of his is
as follows:
"There is no man in the country who
has done more to help the man who
invents new kinds of food than 1 have.
Let a firm advertise a new breakfast
food, or a new kind of biscuit, or con
densed soup, or tinned beans, or pan
cake flour, or flaked anything, and 1
never let the family have any peace un
til they have got a sample and fed it
to me. 1 anticipate much pleasure
when I know the new food is- in the
house at night, and is to be tried on
me at breakfast the next morning, and
sometimes 1 wake up in the night and
get to thinking about it, and am unable
to sleep, and then I get up and wake
everybody about daylight, and get
them going on the new dish. After
have eaten it, usually I kick, and send
for the can to read the directions, and
put the cook -on the witness stand un
der the discovery statute to see if she
has carried out the instructions, and
then tell how I would cook it. O, but
my stomach has had a hard time trying
to keep up with these inventors of new
combinations of food. I got some
soup tablets oncc from a charming girl,
who told me just how to prepare them,
and I was going to give everybody a
treat, but when I got the tablets,
which were made of gutta perclia and
printer's roller composition, whittled
down so they would dissolve, and sea
soned the stuff, nobody would eat it
and I had to. That night my stomach
had such a time that I had to get up
and to this day the owner of the dog
accuses me to trying to poison his pet.
I have tried everything advertised,
f.rom tinned Mexican..tamalcs to dog
biscuit. But the worst time I ever had
with a new kind of food was in St.
Louis a few weeks ago. I went "into a
restaurant to find something I could
fill up on. The first thing that struck
my eye was "Shredded Wheat Biscuit
With Milk, 15 cents." I bit like a bass.
For quite a while I had been reading
of shredded wheat biscuit, and had
tried to introduce it into the family at
home, but had been vetoed, after the
soup tablet episode, so I decided to
revel in shredded biscuit and milk, and
have the laugh on the folks at home. I
had never seen a shredded wheat bis
cuit, but when the girl brought it. and
the bowl of milk. I tried to act lis
thougii I had been brought up 011 "that
kind of food, but I was glad when the
girl laid a check down upon the table
and wont away to wait on somebody
else, so I could look over the biscuit
alone. It was about as big as a 50 cent
sponge, and looked as though it might
be a baked bird's nest or a handful of
excelsior mattress stuff that a man had
used to wipe his hands on, and wadded
up and thrown in the oven. But it was
up to me to eat it, and 1 tried to pull
off some of the strands that seemed to
have been braided like a whip lash
The strands stretched out but would
not come off. and when I let go they
flew back, and the shredded biscuit es
caped from my hands and fell on the
floor, but it bounded up two feet and
I caught it in both hands. I squeezed
it, and it felt like a pincushion made of
porcupine quills, and reminded me
some of a "cud" such as cows chew.
For some time I studied the shredded
biscuit, and finally thought of the milk,
and decided to drown it, so I put it in
the bowl and held it down with a
spoon, until I was sure life must have
been extinct, when 1 released the bis
cuit. and it raised up and filled the
bowl, and had soaked up all the tnilV.
and it seemed to look up at me like
a section of balded .hay, as much as to
say, "You can't lose me." It was ap
parent that I was short on milk and
long- on biscuit, but I took a spooti
and a fork and tried to pry off enough
of the |anip thing to see how it tasted,
but it rolled itself up like some of those
round fish you see stuffed in the stores,
with spikes on, and I couldn't get' any
of it off/ It began to look like bunches
of weeds you sec floating in the lakes
in the spring, when the ice goes out,
and I couldn't help thinking how that
biscuit could be used 'as a,duck blind,
if one was short of hay and willows.
But my time was limited, and it was
necessary to eat before taking my
train, so 1 decided to twist one end of
the shredded biscuit.,and milk it, and
get. niy milk back anyway, and drink
it. out the confounded thing would not
give down, but held up its milk the
worst way. Then I decided to wring

and take some brandy, and I rolled .he saying, It is yours, and
around all night, trying to get my
it "out, and took it in both hands and
wrung it, but I couldn't get any milk
so I rolled it up in a napkin and put it
in my pocket, and ordered coffee and
sinkers, and went to' my train. My
idea in. carrying the shredded biscuit
away was that I wanted the girl to
think I had eaten it alright, and an
other idea was to study it at my leis
ure. 1 .looked it over some during the
evening on the car, and finally just as
1 was going to throw the shredded bis
cuit out of the window, a bridal couple
sot on the car and were shown the
berth opposite mine, and they went
right to bed. I do not know what
prompted me to do so, no doubt one
of those waves of wickedness that
comes, at times, over the best of us.
but it occurred to me to wait until all
were asleep in the car, and then throw
that shredded biscuit into the berth
with that young couple, and I opened
the curtain about four inches, dropped
it in and heard it fall with a dull thud
amongst that wedding, and then 1 went
to sleep like a wicked thing. I shall
never do such a thing again. No man
who commits such a criire should es
cape just punishment. Along about an
hour after daylight the next morning I
heard a squirming in the berth op
posite, as of two people trying to dress
who had never dressed in each other's
presence before. They had their win
dow shade drawn down, so it was quite
dark,.and,I heaj-d-the ypuug man whis
per to the young woman and say,
"This must be something of yours,
dear." Then there was a moment of
silence, as though she had taken it in
her* hand, and dropped it with a little
shudder, and she said, "It is nothing of
mine. It must belong to you." Then
I could hear the first quarrel in that
say|n&.
stomach in a place where it would lie heard a satchel snap, and then his
quiet. The next morning I gave the stocking feet protruded frotn the berth,

followed later by himself, half dressed,
and he went to the wash room, and by
and by she came out with a handker
chief over her head and a wrapper on.
and a bundle of clothes, and' she went
to the ladies? toilet room. The. porter,
made up the berth, and when they
both came back to the seat they looked
mad. Soon we came to a junction
where we all got off to wait a couple
oi hours for the Louisville train and
get breakfast. The porter picked up
the shredded biscuit in the seat, which
was dry now, and flattened out sotne,
and asked the man if it was his. and he
said it was not. and she said it was not
hers. They went out first, and I took
the shredded biscuit from the porter
and put it in my pocket. At breakfast
in the junction hotel the young couple
did not talk to each other much, and
in the parlor car all the way to Louis
ville-they -did not act like lovers, and
when they went to their room in the
Gait House in the evening they acted
like old married people, cross and dis
agreeable. When a man begins a life
oi crime he seldom reforms. When I
found that their room was in the same
hall with mine* and I knew they were
down to supper, the devil took posses
sion of me, and I walked by their room
and -threw the shredded biscuit over
the transom and heard it drop on the
bed, and when they returned to their
room 1 made it a point to pass their
room. They went in, and in about two
minutes I heard a scream, heard a wo
man in a falsetto voice say: "Look!
Look! There it is again! O, it is a
hoodoo!" Then I went down to the
officc of the hotel, like a wicked thing,
and talked with the clerk. Pretty soon
he went to the telephone that connects
with the rooms, and I heard him say.
"Yes, yes, certainly, rightway." And
then he yelled "Front." and when a
bell boy came he handed him a card,
and said, "Go tb the bar and get a
bottle of bromo-seltczer and take it to
room 201." In. the morning I took
breakfast at the same table with the
young married couple, and when. I
looked over the bill of fare, and order
ed "shredded wheat biscuit with
cream," she blushed, he began to pers
pire around the neck, and I thought
they would, sink through the floor, as
they looked at each other in* painful
silence, but I never turned a hair, and
looked as innocent as jossible. Over
a year has passed, and I presume they
have learned to tell a shredded biscuit
now. when they see one.

A chronic sore is the very best evidence that your blood is in anunhealthjV.
and impoverished condition, that yourconstitution istreaking down under
the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong anedicines, lilfce
mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im
pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results iu obstinate
non-liealing sores of the most offensive character.
Often an inherited taint breaks out in frightful eating sores upon thclimbd
or face in old age or middle life. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood
is always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salves, soaps and powders
can do much to keep down the inflammation anji cleanse the sore, it will,
never heal permanently till the blood itself has been purified and the deadly
germs and poisons destroyed, and with S. S. S. this can be accomplished—the
polluted blood is purified amd invigorated, and whqrt*
rich, pure blood is again circulating freely throughout
the body the flesh around the
old sore begins to take:
on a natural color, the discharge of matter ccas&r
and the place heals over.
S. S. S. is both a blood purifier and tonic that puts your blood in ord^fc
and
at the same time tones up the system and builds up the general healths
