Gentlemen: I must say in regard to
GItAIX-O that there is nothing better
or healthier. We have used it for
years. My brother was a great coffee
drinker. He was taken sick and the
doctor said coffee was the cause of it,
and told us to use GK.AIX-O. We got
a package but did not like it at first,
but now would not be without it. My
brother has been well ever since we
started to use it. Yours truly.-
LITTLE SOCHOR.
POISON IN A "WEARY BODY.
Baman Beings Are Sulject to a. Spe
cies of Self-Poisoning by tlie
Cat in sr of Game.
The eating1 of "high" game is un
doubtedly attended with risks and the
poisonous effects, are probably due
to the toxins produced in the earliei
stages of the putrefactive process,
says the London Lancet. The advan
tage, of course, of hanging game is
that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
it is quite fresh. The ripening proc
ess, however, may mean the elabora
tion of toxins. It has been stated
that the production of the character
istic flavors of game is related direct-:
ly to the amount of sulphuretted hy
drogen or sulphur-alcohol set free,
but it is rather repulsive to think
I that the delicate flavors of game is
.dependent upon that invariable prod
luce of decomposition of rotten eggs
Isulphuretted hydrogen. The smell
ervolved during cooking of "high"
!game is even more disgusting. ,
i Fresh game sometimes sets up inys
iterious "poisoning symptoms, which
jhave been attributed to the face of
ithe game having been overhurried
iand fatigued. Fatigue products, in
deed, have been separated from over
I bunted game which when injected
;into a healthy animal have produced
; marked poisonous effects. There is
BO doubt that fatigue products undei
certain circumstances are, also elab
orated in the human body and give
(rise to a species of self-poisoning,
. characteristic symptoms of which ire
iheadache, stupor and gastric and in
ltestinal pains. The flesli of over
driven cattle may prove poisonous
from the same cause.
j This curious formation of poisonous
products in the flesh of animals
through a' state of terror or exhaus
tion is a question well, worth consid
ering in relation to the wholesomEness
of animal foods and emphasizes the
.importance of slas-ing animals intend
ed for food in the most humane way.

,, Hour of .Eastern Grid iron s
ASK the gridiron followers who are
the men most in the public eye
in football in the east and- they
will be quick with the retort: "Little
Harold Weekes, the left half back of
Columbia, who has twice scored touch
downs against mighty Yale; Coach
Sanford, the old son of Eli who is di
recting the Columbia team, and whose
strategy gave Weekes the opportunity
to humiliate Mr. Sanford's alma mater
eleven; Coach Percy Haughton, of
Cornell, who took his disheartened
Ithacans to the Nassau Tigers' field,
coached them to use a few plays that
the newspapers had said were dis
carded and treated Princeton to a sec
ond humiliation, this time to the tune
of 12 to 0."
Individual cases of great gridiron
prowess are coexistent with every big
game. Xone will ever care to de
tract one whit from the magnificent
play of Capt. Truxton Hare, the giant
guard of the Pennsy team, when, ex
hausted but net vanquished, the coura
geous young man fought the crimson
team almost single-handed, refusing
to acknowledge that the red and blue
was beaten by Harvard until the
whistle blew for the call of time. His
was the greatest individual work of
the season, even though the results
of his work were diminished by the
futility of his team's work. So, too, it
might be argued that the desperate
work of Capt. Morley, of Columbia,
against Princeton and the humiliation
for the second time this season of Old
Nassau's eleven should entitle him to
a big place in the resume of the sea
son. "Bill," as tlie Columbia captain
is called, is a New Mexico ranchman.
Beginning to play football at the
Pennsylvania military academy, he
played at Michigan, and this is his
sixth season on the gridiron. Believ
ing in the strenuous life, ft is con
jectural what the great halfback will
do when he returns to the sun-baked
plains of his New Mexico establish
ment. Percy Haughton is too good a stu
dent of human nature to be turned
by "any of the compliments hurled at
him for his work with Cornell. He
reads the men 'who praise him, feels
sorry for some of them and "jollies"
the others. When he played on the
crimson team he was the best punter
Harvard had ever had. The Ithacans
H. WEEKS.
are just now jubilant because of a
fortunate circumstance that gave
them Haughton's services as a coach.
Without Haughton Cornell never
would have triumphed for two succes
sive seasons over the mighty Tigers
under Capt. Pell. "Billy" Barnard, the
former great Princeton player, had
been engaged by Cornell to coach, but
after he had got the team together
he was compelled to cancel his con
tract because of illness at heme. Cor
nell aimed high. She made a great
offer to Lewis, the greatest center
Harvard had ever had, and one of the
best defense strategists that ever
donned a gridiron suit, .harvard could
not think of letting Lewis go. Haugh
ton would not see the Ithacans left
without a coach, and took the con
tract. Few will charge up to Haugh
ton the defeat of Capt. Starbucks
eleven by the Maroons at Marshall
field. The head coach had had his
men but one day before starting to
Chicago to play. Yet football history
will ever record the progress the Itha
cans made when the big, good-natured
Harvard man got his stride in coach
ing the latter part of that season.
In defeating Trinceton this season
Cornell used Houghton's ideas, exe
cuted them nicely in spite of a driz
zling rain and fumbled the ball but
ence. A precedent was established,
for that was the first defeat that had
ever been given to proud Nassau on
her own gridiron. Otherwise. Haugh
ton's men did not offend the coach.
"I baffled the Tigers," said, Haugh
ton, "by ordering a combination of
heavy line players and delayed passes
for Cornell's offense. At that I do
not consider the score a criterion of
the- comparative strength of the
teams. After our team had scored
twice on the Tigers it was content to
play on the defense; Warner was a
tower cf strength on offense, failing
at no time to gain his distance. Star-
buck showed great speed on tackle
plays. Some of the critics, are talk
ing of him for a place on the All
America team. The defense of Cornell
was so satisfactory that Lewis would
have found no fault. Every time a
Tiger back hit the line he was invari
ably hurled back for ' a loss. .. How
6trcng that defense was is shown by a
glance at a diagram of the contest
Five times did Princeton have the ball
inside Cornell's 15-yard line, yet she
failed to score The Tigers had much
to learn in handling punts.''

Haughton was under a handicap
when he sent his men on to Princeton
field. His star tackle, Alexander, was
not in the game, and that Was a de
cided advantage to the opposing team.
Besides, he knew, if his team players
did not realize it, that Princeton had
never bowed to defeat at home.
As to Coach George F. Sanford, of
Columbia, it might be said that while
Yale has never been enthusiastic about
inviting the old Eli player to her
coaching bee, the coach has forgotten
the scoring Weekes did against his
alma mater and has shown that he
can visit New Haven and make the
candidates for positions on the team
feel that, they are being dTiven by an
efficient man. Once last year Sanford
gave up his position for a week to help
out his alma mater in coaching. San-

ford was a wonderful center. Be
sides, years ago. when he was promi
nent in Y'ale athletics, he was a speedy
distance man in track athletics. Suc
cess tells Columbia thought that San
ford would be the right man for her
material and gathered him in for
$5,XK). While : it is true that the
Princeton coaches throughout the
country have been generally more
successful than the men from
other 'varsities, it is a remark
able fact that no school can show
such an able group of men active at
the same time in gridiron teaching as
the sons of old Yale, A. A. Stagg, O.
F. Sanford. Coach George Woodruff
and Dr. Wiljiains. Jt may be a ques
tion in the minds cf many followers
of football whether j.bese strategists
could maintain victory over such g"rcat
conches as Cochrane and "King" Kelly,
but the fact remains that the football
world is almost daily discussing the
work of this Yale group.
Woodruff, with a persistence that
knows no bounds, has stuck to his
"guards back" formation'even after a
strong team ha shown- him. how easily
a past master in defense like Lewis
can easily give a combination which
will stop it. Yet when Pennsy was
good under the direct teaching of Dr.
Woodruff there were many men who
began to' think that pernaps, after all,
the guards back was a most effective
play. Harvard threw the formation
off like water rolling off the back of a
duck.
Then Dr. Willams is widely discussed
in football because his Gophers have,
under his Y'ale methods, so puzzled
the coaches of 'Other western universi
ties that many a leader lost sleep
planning to counteract Williams'
strategy. It would be queer if the
coaches like Stagg, Woodruff, Sanford
and Williams should insist upon resur
recting some of the strategy that was
in vogue a decade ago to teach it to
their charges to-day. Football, as a
matter of fact, has developed wonder
fully in a decade, but it has developed
systematically, and the old stars see
little in the plaj' of to-day that com-

mends it to them. Because some one
has hit iipon a particularly efficient
play, the coach ers have had to work
overtime -in devising defense to meet
thj requirements.
Now and then a wriggling, twisting,
hopping, speedy", erratic and sensa
tional little bundle of energy lika
Richardson, the former half back of
Brown university, or Weekes, of Co
lumbia, will set at naught all of the
problems of defense framed by the
coachers. Then it is said that the
player who gets in the necessary
touchdowns is in a class by himself.
It will never be known, however, how
much of the element of luck there has
been in the work of both these men.

RUSSIA WANTS

The present ' czar has been some
thing of a puzzls to the world. Much
was expected of him by the friends ol
Bussian progress because of his known
inclination toward, liberalism. His
course has been somewhat, but not
wholly, disappointing. A considerable
influence has bee-n retained by Pobe
donostzeff. The Hussion national par
ty has grown in strength until revolu
tion and socialism, if .they exist, are
lost-in greater movements and are
heard of noniore. The good understad
ing with France continues, being based
on the solid ground of financial self
interest. The general peace policy inaugu
rated by Alexander III. has been em
phasized by an attempt to reach a ba
sis of universal peace through the
peace congress at The Hague, says 8
writer in the Chautauquan. The ini
tiation of this movement by Russia has
been the subject of heated contro
versy as to the Bussian motive. It may
have been due in part to the enlight
ened views of the czar, but its promo
tion by Russia was unquestionably dic
tated in self -interest. It is to be noted
that Russia is now at the highest point
of prosperity that she has yet attained,
and is putting forth strenuous efforts
to extend and consolidate her vast em
pire. Peace is the need of the Russion na
tionalista pence that will enable
them to negotiate with China for Man
churia, and to utilize their wealth in
the building of railroads and in pro
moting unity in other ways. They do
not wish to be disturbed in the Russi

KANSAS CITY HEROINE.
How a Plucky Girl Gave Her Pocliet.
book to a Burly and Impolite
Ilolil-l i Man.
The Kansas City Journal says that
the incident here related happened
out on a suburban boulevard last Sat
urday night. The heroine is an ath
letic girl out of high school only a
year. The girl was returning to hei
home a little later than is customary
for young women to be on the streets
and when she was within a block oi
her house a man sprang out from be
hind a tree and demanded her pocket
book. Upon the girl's hesitation to
give up her money the man stepped
nearer and growled:
"Haffd me your pocketbook, and b
"HANDED" IT TO HIM.
I
quick about it and don't make anj
fuss."
When the man made a second de
mand for the pocketbook the girl
stepped close to him and "handed" it
to him, but not in the manner ex
pected. She just landed one on the
jaw with the hand that carried the
pocketbook. The leather- spread out
over the little fist, and, as there was
considerable silver in it, the blow was
vicious. The robber went down in a
heap.
He was on his feet in a second and
came back at the girl with a look oi
the greatest surprise on his face.
"Hand me that pocketbook," he
growled.
"All right," answered the girl, strik
ing him again on the side of the jaw
This time the man. did not get up sc
quickly, but lay a moment groaning
on the ground. This was the advan
tage the girl was looking for, and she
took to her heels and was soon with
in her own home. And here follows
another queer-part of this true tale:
When she flew throiigh the doors oi
her hpme and was met by her mother
and sisters this strange girl didn'i
faint, but she just sat down ano
laughed a loud, ringing laugh, ant
made light of her adventure.

NEW INVASION OF INDIA; I
American.' Clgartte;i Are Carrying
AH Before Them In the t
' Orient.
The idea that the native Indian es
chews all but his . native tobacco,'
w4iich he takes mostly in the form
of cheroots, receives a hard r shock
from the newly issued official Review
of the Trade of India. It appears that
in 1S98-99 the imports of manufactured
tobacco, especially in the shape of
cigarettes, underwent much expan
sion., . '
It is. no longer true that the con
sumption of imported tobacco is prac
tically confined to the Anglo-Indian
population. Cigarettes made in Amer
ica are being extensively imported
now with special reference to the re
quirements of the native smoker, says
the London Mail. They are greatly
in evidence in and about CaL-utta and
other large cities, where they are be
ginning to supersede the unclean and
unsavory compounds smoked in na
tive apparatus.
Imported cottons have largely su
perseded the production of the native
handloom; imported mineral oil and
dyes have superseded the inferior ar
ticles produced in the country, to the
great advantage of the consumer; im
ported sugar is also gradually begin
ning to thrust back the inferior and
dirty sugar hitherto offered to the
Indian consumer: and now it seems
that Indian tobacco is to recoil be
fore the invasion of foreign tobacco
made up in neatly packed cigarettes.
Another turn of the wheel, and when
the people have bcccne accustomed j
to the better article the capitalist ,
will arise and make it cn the spot
of Indian tobacco, to the advantage
of both producer and consumer, os

"And you hope to find him again?"

HE KILLED HIMSELF.
Boencse His W ife Had Said "ItTToald
Be Better for the Children It .
Von Were Dead." J ' '
George Oliver James Palmer, former
chief clerk of the invoice department
of the United States army building in
Xew York, is dead, with t?ie horrible,
scarifying marks of carbolic acid on
his lips and chin. His widow is at
the home, 513 West One Hundred and
Sixty-first street, repenting of a hasty
speech, and at her knees are two
iH-etty children, fatherless because of
a word rashly spoken. :,
There had been a misundrstar.d';ng
j one of those slight, things that may
tccoms a stone barrier between feus- -j
band . and wife, while each r.t heart
would break it do-vn. He spoke in
some heat. She had retorted:
"Perhaps it would be better for the
children if you were dead." - i
It had been an idle speech; she had
regretted it the moment she nokc.
i But he was gone and she could not r.ll
it. back. All day the speech luzzed in
iK-r ears; a vague sense of evil to come
oppressed her.
As for him, he went away dazecl. lie

knew that she did not mean it; knew
that she could not have felt it. But:
it had stung him before he knew it and
it rankled in him and would not ease.
He worked all day in silence. His
fellow men noticed that he was pre
occupied, but nothing more. When
evening came he did not go home, but
wandered in the streets till after mid
night. A little after six o'clock next
morning Policeman Yosburg found
him lying in a maple grove near One
Hundred and Sixty-fourth street and
Broadway. In his pocket was a note
addressed to his wife and ending: .
"You v.-ill never, know, dear, what a
day of agony this has been for me.
But I am going to my execution with a
stout heart and a clear conscience, for
in doing so I am making the happiness
of. my children sure." ,
