If You Would Give and Get Full Value
Here's a Suggestion.
Are you petting full value out of
life? And Is the vorld Betting full
value out of you? In matters of busi
ness and in our relations, man to man,
we owe it to ourselves and to v the
world to do our best. to make our
selves of full value. Do this and, in
turn, you will get full value out of life.
You can't do full justice to anything
unless you feel right. And. you can't
feel right unless you live right. Eat
ing right is essential to living right. '
Kat the right kind of food and you
will not .suffer. The right kind of food
for you and your family, the weak and
Ihe strong, the fijek and the well, the
grown folks and the little folks, is
Malta-Vita, that delicious, crisp,
whole-wheat food. -
A perfec-L breakfast is Impossible
without Malta-Vita, and it's just as
good three times a day. Being a pure
grain product, without any foreign
sweetening agent or other advltera
tive, Malta-Vita is rich in food ele
ments every nutritious element of the
best while wheat and pure barley malt
extract intensely vitalizing.
Tfv Mlta-Vita, with cream or fruit.
There is no other food "just as good."
None that can take Its place. And it's
always ready to eat. No cooking. No
Inconvenience. All grocers, now 10
cents.

pf EPOttTS from Maine say that
HSj the lobster fishermen are having
a hard time making a living this win
ter. Lobsters are extremely scarce, and
recent cold weather and storms nave
so discouraged many of the fishermen
that they have hauled up their pots
and quit in disgust. Prices are higher
than ever before known, 50 cents be
ing asked for a 10-inch lobster, and
larger ones have sold for $12 a dozen.
The demand far exceeds the supply
even at that price. During the fall
the fishing Jell off, and from that time
until the present the catches have
been small. There seems to be no
probability that this delicious shellfish
will ever again be as plenty as it was
a dozen or fifteen years ago. The
storms have ' destroyed - many traps,
and, as. the expense of the equipment
is considerable, some of the toilers of
the sea are out of pocket.
A mysterious disease is troubling the
Dutch medical profession. It has
broken out in the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Professor
Spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best
efffforts he can devise, has had to con
fess himself perplexed. The disease is
a contagious affection of the heart,
and , th-j patients Invariably develop
high fever. There have been more than
one hundred cases. Professor Spronck
has made a careful analysis of blood
taken from the patients, but has ut
terly failed to find a cause or an origin"
for the epidemic.
A phonographic device that will call
the police by telephone adds a new
hazard to the dangers of the burglar's
profession. When an attempt Is made
to force ,u window or door with which
the proper connections have been mac i
an electric current operates a phono
graph In the garret. The machine calls
up central and asks for the police sta
tion. The phonograph then informs the
officers of the robbery, giving street
and number, and repeats this informa
tion as long an the receiver Is down.
Meantime, the intruder, all unconscious
that an al um has been rung in, vir
tually walks into a trap, and if the call
is promptly responded to Is soon in the
lockup.
Ther.' is every possibility that the
herd of c hamois which the emperor of
Austria has presented to New Zealand
will do well there, says the London
Globe. The features of the Swiss and i
TyiuU.se Airs are so faithfully repro
duced In the colony that the chamois
should Ibul themselves "en plays do
oonnalssanee" at once. We shall be'
curious to see to what extent they be
come modified by new condition. It ks
quite possible, for Instance, that they
will follow the example of tho trout
with which the New ,. iland rivers have
beer stocked, and whleh h ive not inly
beiooio of Immense idse, but have de
veloped It tblt i utterly unknown to their
Jtrlti h in i "Mor.". At any r ite, It ia,

A phonocuril ln 1 n Invented by a
German which I ft mi In much favor
Hl.iuad A d. rlptl 'n of the novelty
la an 'foU 'w: For producing tho
phohoKiaphio postal card ui appara
tus b u?. uhlelt record th human
vol upon a plee of pasteboard of
m f rm vt tho card, which, It U
claimed, has many advantages over
writing, as It cannot be deciphered ex
cept by a reproducing machine. The
recording of the human voice is done
by an ordinary phonograph of simple
construction by means of a pencil with
a sapphire point. This pencil makes
its Impression upon a suitable sub
stance called "sonorlne" spread upon
the surface of the card. The sonorine,
which can be easily spread over paste
board, possesses all the properties of
a wax cylinder, and la in reality the
invention. The signs are impressed
In the form of a spiral, beginning at
the margin of the card and ending In
a very small circle, and are impressed
so deeply that the stamping by the
postal authorities can only deBtroy
two or three words. The card has am
ple space for about eighty words.
Geneial Lie's favorite warhorse,
Traveller, was almost as well known
to the soldiers of the Army of North
ern Virginia as the majestic form of
the great commander himself. Cap
tain Robert E. Lee, jr., youngest son
of the general, in his "Recollections
and Letters of General Robert E. Lee,"
has much to say of Traveller. To an
artist who wanted to paint the horse
-General Lee wrote:
"If I were an artist like you I would
draw a true picture of-Traveller, rep
resenting his fine proportions, mus
cular figure, deep ' chest and short
back, strong haunches, flat legs, small
head, broad forehead, delicate ears,
quick eye, small feet and black mane
and tail. Such a picture would inspire
a poet, who genius could then depict
his worth and then describe his endur
ance of toil, hunger, thirst, heat, cold
and the dangers and sufferings
through which he passed. He could
dilate upon his sagacity and affection
and his invariable response to every
wish of his rider. He might even im
agine his Jio" ghts through the long
night x marches and days of battle
through which he has passed. But I
am no artist; I. can only say he is a
confederate gray."
IIEAITH AM) BEAUTY.
Cultivate happiness, smiles and
laughter; they keep you young.
There is nothing better than masr
saging with cocoa butter for rough
skin of the bodyv
Study what suits your digestion; do
not eat too much meat or drink so
much tea; indulge in good drafts of
pure water at least twice a day, hot
or cold, as suits you better.
Henna stain can be used to bring
red tints in brown hair. Steep one
ounce of dried leaves in. a pint of
water and apply. Shampoo the hair
afterward.' This is perfectly harmless.
One of the- best remedies for dand
ruff: Forty-eight grains of resorcin,
one-quarter ounce of glycerin, alcohol
to fill two-ounce bottle. Apply with
medicine dropper every night, rubbing
In. well with the finger tips.
You can make your eyebrows thick
er by applying a grower made by
combining two ounces of red vaseline,
one-eighth ounce of tincture of can
tharides, fifteen drops of oil of rose
mary and fifteen drops of oil of
lavender. ' .
i To keep the hair fluffy and free from
oil give it an egg shampoo every two
weeks. The egg shampoo cannot pos
sibly hurt the hair; the eggs contain
sulphur and iron and act as a tonci
and hair grower.
If you will use plenty of stewed
fruit in your diet, eat fresh figs, drink
hot water on arising and . before
meals and take nine or ten glasses of
water during the day you will be tak
ing the best possible measures to get
rid of a cold.
People get cold feet because they
are Insufficiently covered; the foot
gear is too tight; the exercise is not
sufficiently active; the heart is weak;
there is a weak "tone" of the arteries
that Is, they do not expand and con
tract with healthy vigor.
I People get gout because they eat
too much and work too little; take
too much alcohol. Gouty skin disord
ers ate especially frequent In very cold
weather among people who perspire
freely In summer, and on parts not
sufficiently protected from cold.
If the service of a professional mani
cure aro enlisted frequently for the
child who bites her flnjrer nails the
habit will soon be broken. The trou
ble is usually brittle, nails that aro
continually developing Jagged edges.
Such nails should le kept short.
Indigent ton and lack of circulation
ar usually th causes of red nose.
Exercise must bo taken and great care
uned In th diet. Only tepid water
xhould Imi used for washing. The cure
Is n lofirf one and consist of getting
tht whole, ttystem In jrcxnl condition.
In many case a wonderful Im
provement In the complexion may be
obtained by merely washing tho fc
several times a day with the following
lotion, leaving it on till It dries: Take
half an ounce of glycerin, and mix
"with It half a pint of orange-flower
water. To this add a table-spoonful
of powdered borax.
Lemon juice is very effective in
some cases for freckles. The following
is a good formula: Thirty grains of
pulverized borax dissolved in two and
one-half ounces of lemon juice makes
a lotion that is very effective In keep
ing freckles in abeyance, where it
agrees with the skin. It should be ap
plied at night after the face has been
thoroughly washed and rinsed.
A liquid powder that will whiten
the neck in effect, is made of one ounce
of pure oxide of zinc, one dram of
glycerin, four ounces of rose water
and fifteen drops of essence of roses.
Dissolve the zinc -in enough of the
rose water to dissolve. Mingle tho
essence with the" glycerin, adding the
remainder of the rose water. Then
combine the two mixtures. Apply with
a piece of gauze, shaking before using.
MILLIONS FOR. DAMAGES.
In an article entitled "The Needless
Slaughter by Street Cars," by John P.
Fox, in the March Everybody's; the
writer says:
"These appalling statistics are back
ed by still more remarkable figures as
to the amounts paid out for damages
by American and by European com
panies. Thus, the various companies
of Greater New York reported for 1905
a total of' $2,098,009.59 paid out In
damages. Two million dollars in a
single year! But this was not all. The
same companies reported 'for legal ex
penses in connection with accidents'
the further item of $1,005,892.81, making
the total amount of damages $3,103,
902.40. "This is equivalent to 60,000,000 fares
a year!
"The total amount paid out by all
the tram companies of the United
Kingdom, Including Great Britian and
Ireland, for the year 1903-1904, was only
$591,000!
"Or take it by cities. The amount
paid out by the municipal system of
Liverpool for 1905 was $53,800. The
amount paid out by the Boston Ele
vated .operating the surface systems
of Boston, for 1906 was $603,576!
"The traffic of the chief Berlin com
pany is. greater by a half than that of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company.
The amount paid out in 1905 by this
Perlin company was $65,500. The
amount paid out by the Brooklyn com
pany in 1905 was $648,038.10!
"So I might continue the list. This
is what accidents mean to the com
panies themselves in dollars and cents,
in reduced dividends and reduced sal
aries. One would think that pure self
interest If nothing else, would induce
the companies to do something to stop
this tremerdo'if! Ira!:."
CATA
AND SYSTEM DISORDERED
Catarrh is not merely aa inflammation of the tissues of the" head and
throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back
into the thfoat, continual hawking and spitting, etc.j would seem to indi
cate ; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greatet
part oi me system are involved, atarrn. is due to the presence ot an excess
of uric acid in the blood. The. Livery Kidneys and Bowels frequently be
conic torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrvin? off the refuse
and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system.
This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all
parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame
the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting
of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable
symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the ca
tarrhal poison affects all parts of the "system". The head has a tight, full
feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever
comes and goes, the stomach is upsetand the entire system disordered and

ANOTHER ROYAL ELOPEMENT.
Atitrian Archduchetia Disappears
From Her Home.
London Express: A romantic story of
another elopement by a member of the
Austrian royal family has come to
light.
It appears that a young and hand
some archduchess disappeared myste
riously from the court at the end of
last November. No trace of her move
ments could be found until December
3, when she arrived at the Hotel Belle
vue here, accompanied by a distin
guished looking man who signed his
name in the register as Ferdinand de
Szuyni. The archduchess, who wore
costly furs, refused to sign the regis
ter. For three weeks the couple lived in
a most extravagant manner. They went
to masked balls at the Kursaal, and
indulged in every other form of amuse
ment. During the fourth week a lawyer
named Stanz of Vienna, arrived at the
hotel, and had a stormy interview with
the couple. He endeavored to persuade
the woman to return home, but she re
fused and the lawyer went back to
Vienna.
Shortly afterwards Dr. Joseph
Fleischmann, also of Vienna, went to
the hotel, and when he had been there
ten days he succeeded in persuading?
the archduchess to return with him to
Vienna.
Szuyni bade her farewell and went to
Montreux, leaving the greater portion
of their luggage, including a number
of valuable dogs and beautiful birds
belonging to the archduchess, at . the
hotel.
A day or two ago the proprietor of
the hotel received a check from Vienna
in settlement of all claims, and he
then.forwirded all the archduchess' be
longings to her home.
The boy . who plays truant from
school never has as much fun as he'
anticipated. '
Death and Sleep.
Hospital: S'eep is an instinctive need
for rest; natural death in like manner
is the manifestation of an instinctive
want, and the Instinct of death is often
seen in very old people, who die as
easily and quietly as children fall
asleep. .

(St. Albans Messenger.
From a tree which Hubbard Fisher of
East Concord started to cut down in the
wods recently Mr. Fisher took a runaway
swarm of bees from the hollow trunk
three twelve-quart pails of delicious
honey.
Mr. Fisher had started to cut down a
tree when he discovered that it was badly
decayed and probably hollow, and there-fore-not
fit for his use. Happening to no

there were many bees flying around It, he
