Because, Willie, the chicken don’t know how to create a hard-shelied egg unless it has some food with lime in it. So chicken-raisers often provide limestone gravel, broken oyster shells or some other form of lime. Let the chicken wander free and it finds its own food and behaves sen.. Shut it up and feed stuff lacking lime and the eggs are soft-shelled. Let’s step from chickens to human beings. Why is a child “backward” and why does a man or woman have nervous pros tration or brain-fag? There may be a variety of reasons but one thing is certain. If the food is deficient in Phosphate of Potash the gray matter in the nerve cen tres and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken down by the .activities of yesterday. Phosphate of Potash is the most important element Nature demands to unite albumin and water to make gray matter. Grape-Nuta food is heavy in Phosphate of Potash in a digestible form. A chicken can’t always select its own food, but a thoughtful man can select suit .able food for his children, wife and himself. “There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts Postum Cereal Company, Limited, Battle Creek, Michigan TOWEL LEFT IN WOMAN DURING AN OPERATION Was Yard Long and Foot Wide —Patient Now Suing Her Former Physician. REMAINED FIVE WEEKS New York. Special: A towel, a yard long and a foot wide, with a red bor 3er, was accidentally sewed up inside Mrs. Mollie Myers when she was oper ated on in St. Vincent’s hospital in November, 1905, according to an affl Javit filed with the supreme court by Dr. Benjamin Friedman, formerly of this city, now living In Hungary. Mrs. Panama in Fact and Fiction. Every one will admit that success in Jigging the Panama canal must be at :ributed largely to the human factor. Dur government has found efficient men to do the work, and has succeeded In maintaining their efficiency. Herein lies the superiority of our method over [hat of the French administration. No well informed person will deny these broad fact3, and it remains only to give jredit to whom credit Is due. There are about 40,000 picked men md women at work in the canal zone; So,000 of these are negro laborers from the adjoining tropical countries, partic ularly from the British West Indies. These laborers found a climate to their liking from the first day, and wages and food better than most of them had ever before received. Good treatment with a negro begets docility and con tentment which means obedience to law and common sense regulations. Hence It is not surprising that these colored employes—all selected men and pro verbially healthy in their home country where poverty and filth Is the rule rath er than the exception—sjpould have prospered mightily under cleaner and happier surroundings. Indeed, would it pot have been surprising had results been otherwise? So while it may be hard to Bay just what part the doctors have contributed to the well being of the colored class, the fact can hardly be denied that they have played a mi nor role. The nnme annllufl eprhnns. with The same applies, pernaps, wim slight modifications, to the 5,000 Span ish and Italian laborers. To the south ern European the tropics have never presented any terrors and the Latin people have always been pioneers In tropical development. That these la borers, most of whom are Spaniards, have bettered themselves Industrially by coming to Panama Is self evident, so that their case Is practically iden tical with that of their colored co laborers—a tribute to good pay, consid erate treatment and decent surround ings. Here again the doctor has no log ical claim to the limelight. The tropics heretofore have proved a great magnet to gold seekers, explorers and various adventurers who have courted hardship and privation. Is it any wonder that the death rate was high amon^r men who endeavored to traverse Impenetrable jungles, who fre quently set out unprovided with the necessary food and supplies, and who had to learn from the crudest expe rience facts that are now placed at the disposal of every canal employe? It is not at Panama alone that the tropics are losing their fictitious ter rors. The northern tourist is now find ing his way through the whole Carib bean country, and steamship companies are loudly proclaiming the delights of residence throughout the West Indies and the Spanish main. Statistics, more over, show that yellow fever had been on the decline long before the discov eries of the American sanitarians in Cuba and Panama, with its ideal condi tions, is not the only tropical city that can boast of a diminished death rate. That is the economic and social con dition of the worker in Panama is ideal no one can dispute, and if this leads to physical, mental and moral well being, why should the facts be denied? Is not this experiment too valuable during the present era of industrial distress and social upheaval to be subjected to the slightest misrepresentation? The American colony at Panama Is composed largely of men in the prime of life who have been subjected to the most rigid physical examination before acceptance. Having passed this exam ination and received positions which in most cases assure a salary much great er than the recipients could earn in the United States, they begin to learn how philanthropic an employer Uncle Sam really is. The new employes are trans ported free of chargo to the scene of their labor. On their arrival they find themselves In a modern town or camp, every building *>f which is constructed of the best materials and contains every modern Improvement. The newcomer in most cases receives free quarters, and though he must pay for his meals, these are of the best quality and are provided absolutely at cost. The householder who must pay rent finds that Uncle Sam has ngaln anticipated his needs and pro vided the maximum of comfort at the minimum of expense. Food, clothing and all the necessaries of life, that is, those not already provided free of cost, are sold at such reduced rates that the high cost of living in the canal zone is but a, northern echo. If any one doubts this, let him consult the New York Evening Post for January 22 last, in which comparative tables of the cost of food in New York and Panama are pre sented, wholly to the advantage of the latter. But Uncle Sam has gone farther in his paternalism and provides free in struction of all kinds, free amusement centers, free transportation, and as if to eliminate the last chance of worry, assures every worker that if he be comes ill. there will be the best ac commodation provided for him at the government hospitals, with wages con tinued. no matter how long the illness, and all care and attendance absolutely free. This removes that corroding fear so widespread in our northern indus trial centers, to which many scientists now attribute a large percentage of disease with its consequent poverty and distress. The above is a partial enumeration only of the advantage of working for Undo Sam in this new tropical outpost. Myers holds Dr. Herman J. Boldt, of No. 30 East Sixty-first street, respon sible and has sued him for damages. Dr. Friedman asserts that when he recovered the towel, after it had re mained five weeks inside Mrs. Myers, it bore the label, “St. Vincent's hos pital." “A few days later,” alleges Dr. Fried man, “I met Dr. Boldt, who told me that he had sent the towel to the New York County Medical association as a curiosity, indicating the great vitality of the patient. Mrs. Myers told me she was going to sue Dr. Boldt, and I told him of this. He said he was in sured against such accidents and that he did not care, as such an accident could not hurt his reputation. He ad mitted at the time that he might have left the towel in Mrs. Myer’s body." And last but not least, the destruction and elimination of gests, in which lat ter task the medical corps have un doubtedly rendered efficient service. Here we have the situation in its rightful proportions. The canal zone shows a death rate lower than that or most of our American cities, and the doctors claim the credit. Ignoring the fact that the population is made up of the finest physical types, mostly young men of athletic habits or men in the prime of life—never old men or invalids —and that these are placed in an en vironment as clean and inviting as un limited resources and the most modern applances can make it, to medicine for sooth belongs the glory. The preposterousness of such a claim stands almost without a parallel. Health in the canal zonp is both logical and inevitable, but if pills or vaccines are to be included in the problem, they must be looked for elsewhere than among the assets. Buildings Intended to Deceive. From the Wide World Magazine. A curious variety of •‘freak” struc tures are pretentious “shams”—build ings deliberately intended to deceive the unwary. Dinton "castle," near Aylesbury, is a typical specimen of these pinchbeck fabrics. At a distance, and even from the road, it looks like a mediaeval stronghold, but at close quarters the largeness of its windows and the thinness of its walls betray its youth. It is actually no castle, but a mere lodge erected by a former owner of the estate on which it stands. An Ilford “freak,” known locally as the "castle,” seems to be of the same class; but In truth it has a much more curious history. Its creator was Sir Charles Raymond, who, conceiving the idea of erecting a mausoleum for him self and his family, raised this building for use as such. Beneath it he pro vided extensive catacombs, then above them a chapel hi which the burial serv ice was to be read on occasion, and above that again a room for the ac commodation of mourners. But Sir Charles, like many another builder, reckoned without the other party; for the bishop refused to consecrate the structure, which in consequence could not be used for the purpose for which it was intended. It is now tenanted and forms one of the most curious dwelling houses in the United King dom, since, despite its size, jt contains only four habitable rooms, a well liked spiral staircase, which leds from the chapel to the roof, taking up much of the space. Akin to such manifestations of the craze for building are structures which are mute witnesses of the vanity of human wishes. The most remarkable, perhaps, of these melancholy memorials is the chief “lion” of Carsaalton. Bent on building a great mansion, Sir Will iam Scawen, a wealthy London mer chant, first concentrated his attention on the entrance, and set up a fine gate way of wrouglit iron, flanked with sculptures by Catalini, the whole 240 feet in width. Before he could proceed any farther, however, he failed in bus iness, with the result that the begin ning of the proposed mansion was also the end. The great gateway, notwith standing that it has stood for many decades, was valued by experts some time back at $25,000, and when offered for sale by auction three or four years ago, with the land attached (worth, It was estimated, $3,650), was "bought in” at $9,500. Splendid, indeed, would have been a mansion in keeping with a gate way worth so large an amount, even now. _ _ Before Sedan. Here in this leafy place Quiet he lies. Cold, with his sightless face Turned to the skies; •Tts but another dead; All you can say Is said. Carry hls body hence— Kings must have slaves; Kings climb to eminence Over men’s graves; So this man’s eye Is dim; Throw the earth over him. What was the white you touched. There at hls side? Paper hls hand had clutched Tight ere he died; Message or wish, maybe— Smooth the folds out and see. Hardly the worst of us Here could have smiled. Only the tremulous Words of a child; Prattle, that has for stops Just a few ruddy drops. Look! She Is said to miss. Morning and night. His—her dead father’s—kiss; Tries to be 'bright, Rood to mamma and sweet. That Is all, ’’Marguerite." Ah, If beside the dead Slumbered the pain! Ah, it the hearts that bled Slept with the slain! If the grief died—but no; Death will not have it so. —Austin Dobson. Explained. From Harper's Weekly. “Who's Watkins in mourning for?” asked Winkleby. “I just saw him down stairs, and he’s black all over.

CONFESSED MURDERER'S “VICTIM" FOUND ALIVE Preacher in Prison Three Years for Crime, When His Sup posed Enemy Appears. HAD ACTED FOR REVENGE Suffolk, Va. Special: The fallibility of courts, the unreliability of circum stantial evidence and the depravity of perjured witnesses all flgtire with pe culiar force In a court drama which had Its denouement here. A man for whose murder another man already has served three years In prison on an IS year sentence, suddenly appeared and had his Identity clearly established by dozens of reliable wit nesses. Both principals are preachers. The Rev. Ernest Lyons confessed to the murder of the Rev. James Larry Smith, the man who tonight apparently sprang from the tomb to face those who had sent the Rev. Mr. Lyons to prison. The reason for the confession was disclosed by the county clerk. George E. Bunting, who was a neigh bor of Lyons at Reid's Ferry and knew him well. Lyons did not confess until after his conviction. He told Mr. l»untlng before being taken to prison that his confession was a fabrication, but that he made it In a spirit of re venge. acknowledging falsely that he had killed Smith, but implicating oth ers whom he accused ot trying t* swear away his life.
