Oily Liniments
The Public Are Warned to be
Careful cf These Strong-
Smelling Oily Liniments
Containing HarmfUl Acids`,
Ammonia, Etc,;
Many people have clung to the old-
fashioned idea that a thick, greasy lini-
ment is the best kind, Doctors say not
—and they know.
Recently a number of these white, oily
liniments were analyzed, and they were
found to contain an enormously higb
percentage of harmful acids, and such
Irritating chemicals as ammonia,
c.
For the moment they may cause a warm
sensation when first applied, but their
continued use never cures rheumatism,
and only deteriorates the sldu, sets up
Inflammation and causes endless trou-
ble.
, When a doctor warns you to quit
using a white, oily, liniment—do so. He
knows that a thick liniment can't pene-
trate, can't sink through the pores and
reach the seat of the pain.
When asked his opinion a few days
ago, Dr. Roberts stated that he consid-
ered a strong, penetrating, pain -subdu-
ing liniment, such as "Nerviline," to be
superior to any of the white ammonia
liniments. In his twenty-five years of
practice he had witnessed eases of rheu-
matism, sciatica, and lumbago that sim-
ply would not respond to ordinary treat-
ment—but Nerviline cured them. The
same physician also spoke of the great
advantages of keeping a preparation like
Nerviline in the house always, because
of cramps, diarrhoea, stomach disorders,
earache, toothache, headache and suds
minor ailments. Nerviline is a first-
class cure. There is scarcely an ache or
a pain, internal or external, that Nervi -
line won't cure. In thousands of homes
no other pain -relieving medicine is used.
Fifty years' continued success and the
endorsement of the profession are proof
that Nerviline is the liniment for the
home.
Any good druggist or dealer can sup-
ply the large 25c. bottles of Nerviline.

And •Detroit Woman Cut Them 111
'Off in Will.
After experience with three -hus-
bands, Mrs. Anna Wagner was led to
cut off each and every one of them and
all their issue severally and emphati-
cally in her will, which was filed in
the probate court at Detroit, yesterday.
She made the will Sept. 8, this year, and
died Sept. 13,
The will bequeaths all Mrs. Wagner's;
property to her sister, Mrs. Aurora
Parker, of Dixon, Ill., and appoints her
as executrix. It provides:
"It is my intention that my. husband
by my first marriage, Tom Meeks, and
the issde of said marriagene Charles
Meeks, residence unknown, tun" Belle
Meeks Atmer, of Lima, 0., nor their
issue as heirs-at-law or next of kin,
shall not take any of my property. It
is my intention that my husband by my
second marriage, Frederick Kaiser, nor
his son, William, of Fort Wayne, Ind.,
the issue of said marriage, nor any of
his issue or heirs shall not take any of
my property. It is my intention that
my husband by my third marriage,
James Wagner, or his heirs shall not
take any of my property. It is my
intention that neither my sister, Cath-
erine Hettiger, nor my brother, Robert
Whittaker, nor their heirs, shall take
any of my property."
Say Ghost of ltIan Killed by Tiger

The uneducated Hindu (and he is in

ghost of a man killed by a tiger rides
on the head of the beast that slew him,
to warn him of danger and to;guide him
to new victims: It is declared that God

MAIn'ING SOUP.
Soup should not contain fatty matter,
but should contain all other meat prop-
erties. It takes longer to make soup if
one sets the stock aside to cool before
using the liquid. It is best to take a
muslin cloth, wring it out of ice water
and run the liquid through it. The fatty
substance will cling to the cloth. If
meaty particles boil through the soup, it
clouds it. This is merely the boiled
blood, and should. be ,skimmed off as
soon as it rises to the top. Should it
get into the liquid, break an egg into
the soup, stir it around and when it
boils, it will come to the top, bringing
all substance wit it. It .quickly clears
muddy looking soup.

Home -Life an Example -Which
Christians Might Emulate.
In the middle of the day the ruler of
Egypt lunches with the only woman
who bas ever sustained to him the re-
lation of wife. His highness could, were
he so inclined, allow himself the com-
plement of . four wives affected • by the
pious effendi of the land. He. has none
i:he less remained strictly monogamous.
The one wife dwells in strict seelu-
cion on the khedive' domain of Keub-
bell except for the occasional visits
to the great Abdin Palace at Cairo.
She is a Greek With Circassian blood,
some five years younger than the Khe-
dive—he is nearing forty—and exqui-
sitely beautiful. It does not appear
than any European or American of the
male sex has. gazed upon the features
of this lady.
She is the mother of six children, five
girls and a boy. The latter is now about
ten years of age, and, unlike the eldest
born of Mohammedan 'rulers generally,
he is to inherit his father's throne.
This young "prince •heritor,". as he is
officially styled, quite overshadows his
sisters in importance. The lad is under-
stood to resemble his mother in the
fairness of his skin, the slenderness of
his frame and the tallness of his form.
As a fa'ntily man, the Khedive sets
an example ,whieh, the Christian father
might emulate with profit. The girls
study English, French, Arabic and Turk-
ish, with the idea, it is said, of fitting
themselves for the position of monog-
amous wives. e
Abbas Hilmi seems to have set his
face firmly against the plurality of
wives, which is the vogue among the
wealthier of his subjects. He will not
allow a daughter of his to become the
inmate of what is commonly under-
stood by the term harem. In all re-
spects but*this he has long been fa
med
of
as the most Mohammedanly pious
potentates, for his orisons are per-
formed with infinite fervor and an un-
deviating regularity.
The five daughters receive from their
mother a training which, from the
point of view of the Mohammedan
faith, is orthodox enough, but their
father deviates markedly from Mo-
hammedan ideals in hie relations with
his son. The boy is to be brought up
with the dynastic conception strongly
defined in his education. He will be
the first scion of Mohammedan royalty
to inherit a throne upon the formally
recognized principle of primogeniture
alone.

On the Amateur Stage.
The Shakespears Club of New Or-
leans used to give amateur theatrical
performances that were distinguished
for the social prominence of the actors.'
Once a society celebrity, with a gor-
geous costume, as one of the lords in
waiting, had only four words to say:
"The queen ' has swooned." As he
stepped forward his friends applauded
vociferously. Bowing his thanks, he
faced the king, and said in a high-
pitched voice: "The swoon has queened."
There was a roar of laughter, but he
waited patiently and made another at-
tempt: "The sween has cooned."
Again the walls trembled. and the
stage manager said, in a voice that
could be heard all over the house:
"Come off, you doggoned fool!"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in a rasping falsetto
screamed: "The coon has sweened."—

He was provoked to the contention by

unconscionable quantity of redo pepper
upon his food and proceeded to devour
it to the wonder and admiration of on-

"Do you let Boys in?" said the larger
of the two,
"No boys allowed," said the deputy,

held a conference and then returned and
again opened the door.
"Mister," said the larger, addressing
the same deputy, "does it make a dif-

BURNING THE GRASS.
Superb Scenes in Africa When Tall
Grass is Destroyed.
Unlike a good deal of South Africa,
Rhodesia is largely wooded. In some
places the forests are of value, but a
large proportion are not valued for their
timber. The grass in this part of Africa
grows to phenomenal heights in the val-
leys, and especially in the valleys of the
Sabi and Zambesi Rivers it reaches its
greatest height. To say that the grass
is often 12 feet high is no exag.geration.
Naturally it is .very easy to lose one's
way in this grass if one is unfortunate
enough to stray from the beaten track.
It is the custom there to burn this grass
off each year when it gets dry, sans the
Springfield, Mass., Republican. This is
usually in August or September, or even
in October. The fires burn for miles, and,
as the country is largely a wilderness,
little damage is done by this method of
destroying the grass.
It is a beautil•ul sight at night in the
fire season to see the hills for miles
around encircled with flames.
Alter the grass has been burned the
rainy season usually begins, and it is
then that the country is at its prettiest.
The grass is then green anti the foliage
on the trees is beautiful. The old leaves
drop off gradually and the new ones take
their place before the trees are bare. The
new leaves are of all shades of the rain-
bow, and it is mach like the fall scenery
in this country when the dead leaves are
falling from the trees. Waterfalls are
numerous in the mountains and there
are many of great height, although the
rivers are usually small in volume.
