A Food
to Work On
Trust to Nature
A great many Americans both men
and women are thin pale and puny with
poor circulation because they Jiave ill
treated their stoma6hs by hasty eating
or too much eating by consuming alco
liolic beverages or by too close confine
ment to home office or factory and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
an a natural way before they can rectify
Iheir earlier mistakes The muscles in
many such people in fact in every weary
4hin and thin blooded person do their
-work with great difficulty As a result
fatigue comes early is extreme and lasts
long The demand for nutritive aid is
Ahead of the supply -To insure perfect
health every tissue bone nerve and
muscle should take from the blood cer
tain materials and return to it certain
others It is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work of taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good
rich red blood We must go to Nature
for the remedy There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now crowinsr
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver- troubles
These are found to be safe and yet cer
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach liver and blood
These are Golden Seal root -Queens
root Stone root Bloodroot Mandrake
root Then there is Black Cherrybark
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc
erine as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator when combined in just the
right proportions as in Dr Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
-exhaustion bad nutrition and thin
blood the body acquires vigor and the
nerves blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy
Although some physicians nave been
aware of the high medicinal value of the
above mentioned plants yet few have
used pure glycerine as a solvent and
-usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts
with alcohol
The Golden Medical Discovery is a
scientific preparation compounded of the
glyceric extracts of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful habit forming drugs

RECKONING TIME
The Wtrfch of the Man In the Street
1 Set by tho Stars
Time is a perennially interesting sub
ject Before the chronometer in the
jewelers window a procession is con
stantly passing The banker pulls out
his 700 repeater compares it with the
chronometer and moves on The office
boy with just as much dignity consults
the dollar timepiece that bulges his lit
tle waistcoat Both are equally under
the spell of time
As most persons know England sup
plies the world with that valuable but
impalpable commodity that purely ar
bitrary thing which we call time -The
meridian of the Royal observatory at
Greenwich is the point from which the
day of the civilized world is reckoned
but in America the United States Naval
observatory in Washington determines
Greenwich time and distributes it by
telegraph
In the end the watch of the man in
the street is set by the stars Out of
the vast number in the heavens there
are some GOO visible either to the eye
or the camera which are known to be
practically invariable The astronomer
selects one of them Through the
transit instrument a telescope pointed
at the meridian he watches telegraph
ic key in hand On the lens of the
telescope are eleven hair lines The
center one marks the meridian As the
star crosses each of these lines the
operator presses his key the wires of
which connect with an automatic re
cording clock called a chronograph
This shows at what time the star
crossed the meridian Astronomical ta
bles determine the time at which it
should have crossed Comparison of
the standard clock with these tables
shows whether or not the clock is
right
The time is distributed at noon
Three minutes before 12 oclock thou
sands of telegraph operators sit in si
lence waiting for the click of the key
which shall tell them that the master
clock in Washington has begun to
speak At one minute before 12 it be
gins beating every second until the
fifty fifth Then after the pause
comes a single beat which marks exact
noon and for another day the world
knows that it has the correct time to
the fraction of a second Youths Com

Dont be so mean minded that you

THE ART OF ACTING
Vliat Amateurs Who Would Become
Stars Must Learn
It is surprising to discover how very
differently people who have played
parts all their lives deport themselves
before the footlights I was acquaint
ed with a lady -in London who had
been the wife of a peer of the realm
who had been ambassadress at foreign
courts who at the time had been a
reigning beauty and who came to me
longing for a new experience and im
ploring me to give her an opportunity
to appear upon the stage
In a weak moment I consented and
as I was producing a play I cast her
for a part which I thought she would
admirably suit that of a society wo
man What that woman did and didnt
do on the stage passes all belief She
became entangled in her train she
could neither sit down nor stand up
she shouted she could not be persuad
ed to remain at a respectful distance
but insisted upon shrieking into the
actors ears and she committed all the
gaucheries you would expect from an
untrained country wench
But because everybody is acting in
private life every one thinks he can
act upon the stage and there is no pro
fession that has so many critics Every
individual in the audience is a critic
and knows all about the art of acting
But acting is a gift It cannot be
taught
You can teach people how to act act
ing but you cannot teach them to act
Acting is as much an inspiration as tho
making of great poetry and great pic
tures What is commonly called acting
is acting acting Richard Mansfield in

OLD ROMAN BATHS
They Held Theaters Temples Feast
Ins Halls and Libraries
The ancient Romans were extrava
gantly fond of bathing They got their
notions about the bath as a luxury
from the Greeks and at one time there
were nearly 900 public bathing estab
lishments in Rome some of which were
the most beautiful and elaborate struc
tures In the world
The baths of the Emperor Diocletian
covered more than half a square mile
and contained besides Immense basins
and thousands of marble recesses the
aters temples halls for feasting prom
enades planted with tree3 libraries
schools for youth and academies for
the discussions of the learned The
bathers sat on marble benches below
the surface of the water around the
edge of the basins scraping them
selves with dull knives of metal and
Ivory and taking occasional plunges inJ
to the water
Dissipated Romans would spend
whole days In the bath seeking relief
from overindulgence in eating and
drinking the night before Everybody
even the emperor used these baths
which were open to every one who
chose to pay the price of admission
It was not usual for the old Romans
to have baths In their houses though
at a date 1500 years before that or
3500 years ago the noblemen of an
cient Greece had their dwellings sup
plied with baths of terra cotta

William J Bryaa
AND HIS
Worlds Tour
tour of the world which Wil
liam J Bryan has almost com
pleted and the reception plan
ned In his honor on his return
to this country have brought his name
again before the American public In a
conspicuous manner A number of
state conventions of the Democratic
party have declared in favor of his
nomination for the presidency in 1908
Colonel Henry Watterson of the Louis
ville Courier Journal and Governor Jo
seph W Folk of Missouri have an
nounced themselves In favor of his
candidacy and this has added to the
interest taken by the public In Mr
Bryans globe girdling trip and the ob
servations he has made in the course
of it Seldom has an American citizen
iu private life traveled in other coun
tries and been the recipient of such at
tentions from foreign governments and
statesmen as have been accorded to the
distinguished Nebraskan
These meetings with rulers and emi
nent men have afforded Mr Bryan ex
ceptional opportunities for studylngtho
countries he has visited and the Insti
tutions and customs prevailing His
tour has Included the Philippines Ja
pan China India Burma Ceylon and
Palestine and most of tho countries of
Europe will have been visited by him
before his return to the United States
the latter part of August Mr Bryan
was greatly interested in Japan and
has expressed most hopeful opinions as
to the future of that empire and its
friendly relations with the United
States He was entertained at Tokyo
by the society known as Friends of
America formed by men who were
educated in the United States and on
tills occasion an address of welcome
was delivered by Baron Kaneko At
another time he was discussing the
war between Russia and Japan with
Marshal Oyama and It Ms related that
the great Japanese warrior knowing
that Mr Bryan had commanded a regi
ment In the Spanish war asked
Were you ever under fire colonel
No general the NebraSkan Is said
to have replied butf Ive been over one
many times
But it i i fadtwtHor Qya
ma though ko orfpo studied- tri tife
United States is enough up on Ameri
canisms to understand how Mr Bryan
had been roasted
On several occasions during his trav
els the noted American had to take the
WILIilAlI J BRYAN
risk of offending his hosts in order to
act in accordance with his religious
convictions In Japan he refused a din
ner invitation on Sunday on the ground
that it would conflict with his attend
ance at church on that day a custom
with which he never allowed anything
to interfere if it could be avoided In
India he addressed a large congrega
tion upon one of the Sundays he spent
in that part of the British empire The
Calcutta papers expressed surprise at
finding that Mr Bryan was a preacher
as well as a politician
Mr Bryan has indeed devoted much
of his attention to observing and study
ing the religions of the people among
whom he has sojourned and their ef
fect upon national character His ob
servation of conditions In Japan con
vinced him that the nation has out
grown Buddhism and Shintoism that
It needs Christianity and that favor to
ward it Is taking the place of toleration
as toleration thirty years ago supplant
ed persecution His opinion of Bud
dhism after studying It as taught and
practiced in India China and Japan Is
such that he wonders it can find any
admirers in a country where the teach
ings and benefits of Christianity are
known and experienced
Mr Bryan says we at home need not
complain of the mosquito for It is
found everywhere from Greenlands
icy mountains to Indias coral strands
and In tropical countries its activities
are perennial Even more to be dread
ed than the mosquito Is the ant for
while the former does most of its
prowling at night the latter improves
each shining hour The cockroaches
join with the ants and mosquitoes in
making life Irksome
In his tour of the Philippines and
the Sulu archipelago Mr Bryan met
Agulnaldo and also the sultan of Sulu
Tho latter presented him with his per
sonal flag He was accorded many
courtesies by the officials of the Phil
ippine government and he has express-
BOOK ILLUMINATION
An Enrly Example of the ArtliIo
Culture of the Ancients
The underlying thought which has in
spired illumination from Its very be
ginning Is more Interesting even than
the gorgeous pages which pass beyond
our power of appreciation and defy
our comprehension To the ancients
the rarest gems In all the world were
the gems of thought The book was
the tangible and visible expression of
mans Intellect worthy of the noblest
setting Its covers might be hiade of
tables of beaten gold Inlaid with pre
cious jewels its words might be writ
ten In minium of rare brilliancy
brought from India or Spain or in
Byzantine ink made from pure orien
tal gold upon parchment soft as velvet
made from the skins of still born kids
while upon the ample margins could
be displayed miniatures and decora
tions portraying the highest skill of the
great artists of the day
The earliest example of illumination
is a papyrus in the Louvre In Paris
which contains paintings representing
funeral ceremonies executed In bright
colors touched In Its high lights with
penciled gold Although we find fre
quent mention of some poem written
In gold of some magnificent volume or
codex of colored vellum or some col
lection of miniatures or of some mag
nificent gift book decorated for prince
or church yet this simple imperfect
fragment at the Louvre is the sole
tangible evidence we have that so
obvious a form of artistic culture as
the art of illumination was known to
the long period of classical antiquity
or to the later luxuries of the life of
Athens and Corinth of Pergamum and
Ephesus of Cyzlcuus or Rhodes Syra
cuse or Tarentum of Sybaris of Pom
peii and of Rome
With the invention of printing the
demand for the illuminator and the
scribe became gradually less and final
ly by the end of the sixteenth century
illumination ceased to be an art The
book as the developer of the people in
science and literature and in learning
generally had crowded out the book as
an object of art It need not have
done this perhaps but as a matter of
fact it did Boston Transcript
EAGLES IN BATTLE
The Daring and Skill of These Fierce
Birds of Irey
Ornithologists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in the
habit of attacking large animals but
a contest witnessed by an observer dis
pels such a theory The battle was
between an eagle and a stag
The bird singled out from a herd one
particular buck which It succeeded in
driving from the rest It struck the
animal with its powerful wings knock
ed it down and finally killed it A still
more remarkable spectacle is well -authenticated
An eagle attacked a
fawn in the highlands of Scotland
The cries of the little one were an
swered by its dam which sprang upon
the eagle and struck it repeatedly with
its forefeet Fawn deer and eagle
rolled down a declivity the bird was
dislodged from its hold and the fawn
rescued
Many traditions are extant as to the
carrying off of children by eagles The
most recent case bearing close scru
tiny is one which happened in South
Africa A Boer farmer whose stock
had been harried by eagles lay in am
bush for the robbers and saw one of
them descend and carry off the five-year-old
child of one of the Kaffir serv
ants He shot the bird which with
the child still clutched in its grip fell
into a thorn bush The bird was dead
but the child was little hurt
Two eagles will stalk a covert in
concert While one conceals Itself the
other beats about the bushes with
great screaming driving out its quarry
for the hidden eagle to swoop down
upon An even more insidious method
has been observed An eagle seeing a
sheep on the edge of a precipice flew
at it screaming shrilly and with force
ful beat of wing hurled it into the val
ley below where it could devour it at
its leisure In the light of such rec
ords there is good reason for believing
the legend of the eagle dropping a tor
toise on the bald head of 3Eschylus
the Greek poet and so causing his
death
