Fallacy * RcKnrtlinj Bread. The fallacy that the whiter the bread the higher its quality , seems to prevail all over the world , and the de- 'mamls for snow-white flour have been answered by the production of a flour which is robbed of considerable of its nutritive value. There are various ways of accomplishing this object , but the wnvf.st and most novel process for the purpose oomes from Franco. Here the dough has been treated with ozon ized air , and the effect was that while the bread was much whiter than the untreared the quality of tho bread was vory much impaired. Both the taste and the amount of nourishment were very much inferior. AVliat the Dentist , Says. Toledo , Ohio , March 27th. ( Special. ) Harry T.

The Hollanders are not fond of lazy people , and they have a very good way of curing persons who can but won't work. If a pauper who is able to work refuses to do so they put him in a cistern , to which a pump is at tached , and turn on a stream of water. The stream flows into the cis tern just slow enough to enable the lazy person by lively pumping to keep the water from getting up over his head. PEAEFUL DEOLME OP STEEKGTH COMPLETELY AEEESTED , Medical Skill Had Almost Exhausted Itself iu Vain Attempts to Kcllovo Her A Remarkable Ilesult. The recovery of Miss Gertrude L. Bull Is of great interest to the medical world. A very bad cough followed a severe at tack of pneumonia. It seemed impossi ble to break it up or to restore her strength , which ha/l been sadly uuder- miued. In spite of the best efforts of the doctors and the use of several adver tised modes of treatment" her condition daily grew more serious. She finally discontinued all medicine and gave her self up to despair. " "What was your condition at this time ? " she was asked. " My stomach was so weak I could not keep food down. I suffered from cou- .staiit nausea. My kidneys were ia ter rible condition. My feet and ankles were swollen BO badly that it pained me even to stand on them. I was very bilious. My heart was iu bad shape so I could not go up and down stairs or stand any exertion or sleep in a natural position. " "Ifcseemsa wonder that you should ever have recovered. How did it happen ? " "You may well call it a marvel , but Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills wrought it. None of my friends thought I could live many mouths longer. My parents had no Jiope. Just then a pamphlet adver tising Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People was thrown in our door. It was a great event for me. These pills saved me from the grave. "Within a week from the time I began to take them I felt bet ter , and in three months I was entirely well. I cannot praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too highly and I dearly hopo that my experience may bring good to some other sufferers.

States ill remain the loader , as it was the pioneer , In Hie erection of "sky-scrapers. " For tbe most part foreign eonsorvatism continues to look askance at the dizzy height to winch Yankee irhitects have driven these vast frameworks of steel enclosed by thin shells of Avails , whoso power to support the structure of which they form a part is practically if not wholly nil. Several months ago certain German builders addressed a petition to tbe Imperial Government , which has a hand In regulating pretty nearly everything in the Empire , and tbe burden of their prayer was that the law which re stricts the height of buildings in Berlin to seventy-two feet , tniglit be amended or repealed. Tbe final answer given was a refusal on the ground that very high structures were likely to be unsanitary , that they would house too many people , and that fires in their top stories would be difficult to cope with. As for tbe objection because of sanitary principles , that , of course , is nonsense , as everybody wbo lias gone through a big modern oflicc building in the United States knows. The average American who lives in a big city will be disposed to reject equally the other criticisms. But it is , perhaps , just as well to bear in mind that , even with us , the fifteen or twenty-five story building is something of an experiment , and that although It has so far stood the test admirably , ultimate judgment on its safety and durability can hardly be pronounced for a couple of generations yet Philadelphia Bulletin. Health in the Factories. - T is significant that the findings In regard to the health of workmen and the sanitation of factories by the State Board of Health and by Professor Sedgwick , the Lowell Institute lec turer , working independently , should be the same. It is a fairly conclusive demonstration of the correctness of the findings , because both Investigations on the subject reach the same conclusion , one being based upon an examination of actual conditions , and the other upon the researches of all the workers in this field. The conclusion is that in all of the industries which are regarded as dangerous to the health the opera tives are largely to blame because they neglect simple and obvious sanitary and hygienic precautions. The report of the State Board of Health , which Is made nuder a special resolve of the Legislature of last year , dis closes a lamentable indifference of the workmen to their surroundings. In those institutions where dust is created in large quantities , and where the death rate from con sumption is remarkably high , many of the workmen discard the simple appliances which are Introduced to minimize this source of danger. In one brass-polishing shop , for in stance , where hoods connected with a forced draft are put over the buffer wheels to take away the dust some of the workmen had removed the hoods because "they were In the way , " allowing the dangerous and poisonous dust to fill the atmosphere. Spitbing on the floors in indiistrial establish ments is exceedingly common , and one consumptive can poison the whole atmosphere of the rooms , spreading death and disease among his fellow-workmen. Boston .Tran script. Regulating Marriages. EGISLATOR STEWART has Introduced in House of Representatives a bill to reg- Lithe marriages. It provides , in brief , that be- " "fore a couple can secure a license to wed they must produce certificates from a reputable phy sician , setting forth that they are physically sound and fitted to enter upon the marital relation. It may become a law and it may not. In either event it will not make the slightest difference. Marrying and giving in marriage will continue to do business at the same old stand , all laws and statutes to the contrary not withstanding. Such a law would be a dead letter from Its very inception. There could always be found a physician who would give the necessary certificate for the asking , and few , if any , would be as punctilious as such a law would demand. There was a time when persons possessed of physical deformities were forbidden to wed , for fear that they might reproduce their kind , and the insane and epileptic were put to death for the same reason. Happily , that day Is past Our present civilization places enough restrictions about On the plains of Tartary , the "Land of Grass , " the struggles between good spirits and demons often occasion con siderable annoyance for the Ignorant tribesmen and afford profitable employ ment for the lamas. Peres Hue and Gabet , French travelers who crossed them three-score years ago , witnessed the struggles of tbe learned men to drive out one of the demons. The aunt of the chief of an encamp ment In the Valley of the Dark Wat ers was ill of a fever. Her nephew waited in patience , but she did not get well , and at last he called In the lamas. His worst fears were confirmed. A demon of considerable rank was pres ent in her and must be cast out a task for which the lamas would need to be well paid. Eight others were at once called In by the first , and together they made , from dried herbs , an Image which they called the "Demon of In termittent Fevers. " This image they put In the patient's tent. An hour before midnight the lamas ranged themselves in a semi-circle in one end of the tent , with cymbals , seu- shells , bells , tambourines and other noisy Instruments. The remainder of the family made up the circle , while the patient crouched opposite the im age of the demon. The chief lama had before him a copper basin filled with millet and some little paste images. The tent was full of smoke from the hearth fire. Upon a given signal the clerical or chestra began a noisy overture , the lay witnesses beating time with their hands. The diabolical concert over , the Grand Lama opened the book of exorcisms and began chanting the forms. From time to time he scattered mil let to the four points of the compass. Sometimes he would quit the regular marriage without the necessity of adding to them by stat ute. The average young man of to-day hesitates to take unto himself a helpmeet unless he feels that he can give her equal comforts to those she lias enjoj-ed under hei father's roof. All our grandparents thought necessary was mutual consent and $2 for the preacher. And when they vl'd ' not have the $2 the minister had to wait. Such a law would not reduce the number of marriages , nor tend in any way to bring about the rurvival of only the fittest. Those who feared they might come within the inhibition would trek to Iowa , Kansas , Illinois or Arkan sas , where there are no such laws , and come back legally bound together. And if the marriage was legal where it was contracted , It would be legal here. There would always be a way out Love laughed at legislators long before the first locksmith was born. Kansas City World. Defective Indictments. USTICE has been defeated in its efforts to punish the men indirectly responsible for the Iroquois Theater horror. A Chicago judge has quashed the Indictments against the owners and managers of the theater on the ground of insufficiency. The prosecuting attorney may attempt to secure a relndictment , but it is more than likely that the cases will be dropped. When the fire occurred and It was heralded over the country that over 600 human beings had perished In the flames , there was a demand for vengeance , for the punish- nienj ; of those who had neglected their sworn duty or flagrantly ignored the law. It was made clear that if the provisions of the building ordinance had been enforced , there could have been no such sacrifice of iifo , and the grand jury hastened to fix the responsibility. Popular Indignation was allayed by the manifest purpose of the authorities to bring the guilty and the negligent to task. But evidently some one has blundered and although the fire happened over a wear ago , the courts are no nearer a trial of the cases than they were then. Meanwhile the catastrophe is only a memory , save In the minds of those whose relatives perished , and public sentiment is no longer demanding redress. The country found some recompense for the useless sacrifice In the additional strictures that were placed upon theaters , but even these are now being forgotten in the mad onward rush. It seems that we need something constantly before us for a reminder of our duty as law-abiding and Law-enforcing citizens. Toledo Blade. Why Business Men Fail. HE young man who contemplates embarking in business will do well to study the rocks and shoals upon which thousands of enterprises are annually wrecked. An earnest understand ing of these things will serve as chart and compass and enable him , unforeseen disasters being barred , to successfully weather whatever storms may come his way. The statistics for 1904 , just compiled , show that dur ing the past year 10,417 individuals , firms and corporations suspended , owing more than they could pay. The number appears large until it is understood that it represents less than 1 per cent of those engaged in business. The causes of 77.1 of last year's failures were found in the Individual , while only 22.9 per cent were traceable to causes over which he did not have full control. The greatest factor in bringing about disaster was lack of capi tal , or its dangerous equivalent , the attempt to do a larger business than the capital in hand justified. Behind this was the desire to get rich quickly , and the result was that to this alone is traced one-third ' one cause - of the year's business casualties. Next to that comes incompetence , due to poor selection of vocation , poor judgment or management , or actual unfit- ness for the business entered upon. From one-fourth to one-fifth of all failures are attributable to this. Thus , out of eleven heads , under which commercial agencies group failures , two are responsible for more than half of the shipwrecks , and both of these are found in the individual and not in conditions that he cannot control. The chances of success in business are rather dubious when entered upon by a man not equipped with the proper capital and the necessary understanding of the nature of his undertaking. But these things being granted , and per severance , hard work and good habits , the chances for failure are so small as to be not worth taking into account. Indianapolis Sun. cadence of prayer and Indulge In an outburst of apparently Indomitable rage , abusing the herb image with fierce invective and furious gestures. When he had finished he gave a signal with his arms , and the other lamas burst into a tremendously noisy cho rus , setting all the noisy instruments to work at the same time. The lay congregation , having started up , ran out of the tent and three times circled round it , beating it with sticks and yelling in the most blood-curdling all the while and then manner , re-en tered the tent as precipitately as they had quitted it. Then , while the others hid their faces , the Grand Lama set fire to the herb image and carried It from the tent into the plain , where he watched it burn and anathematized It In the tent the other lamas tranquilly chanted prayers in a solemn tone. The expulsion having been thus ac complished in the finest manner , the members of the family secured torches , and accompanied by the nine lamas , all making night hideous with cries and beating of instruments , escorted the patient to another tent , where she fell asleep , to awaken later without her fever. The incantations succeeded , to the amazement of the travelers , and the illness did not return. CATAMOUNT A BAD BEAST. Is Most Desperately Savage Animal Kver Kncountcrcd. "When it comes to savage creatures I will put the catamount against any thing to be found in the woods , " said an old hunter , "and I am sure I would come out In the lead , with distance to spare. Once corner one of these crea tures and you will have j-our hands full to come out with your life. In the first place , they are well equipped for fighting at close range. Nature has provided them with long , curved and pointed claws and extraordinarily .sharp teeth. Their claws cut like a knife , and if they could use a scythe thqjr could not meet with more luccess when it comes to mowing a pack of dogs down. "Dogs , for this reason , fight shy of catamounts. They never let the trail get too hot , beause they want to keep reasonable distance behind in the chase. The fact is I have known dogs to quit the trail when itwas fresh enough to indicate that the distance between them and the catamount could be measured in seconds. They will scatter and scamper around to' all sides of the trail , resorting to the same circular course they describe when they suddenly lose a trail. They do not care to surprise a catamount by rushing upon him suddenly. They know what it will mean to them. Even pups out on their first chase seem to bo wise enough' instinctively to give the catamount a wide range. "They are desperate fighters , and In 1 the season when food is scarce , and when they become lean and lank from foraging they are especially desperate. I remember an experience I had a few- years ago , " says a writer in the New Orleans Times-Democrat , "while- floating down the St. Francis River in a dugout some forty miles up from the mouth of the river. I had a friend In the dugout with me. Suddenly we heard a limb above us swish back as if relieved of a heavy weight , and In an instant something fell in the river at the side of the canoe. It was a catamount The animal had tried to land in the canoe for the purpose of attacking us and had leaped from a limb which hung out over the river at an elevation of thirty feet "There was no provocation except the innate desperateness of the beast , for weN had no idea that a catamount waswithin ten miles of where we were quietly floating down the river. We killed him. They are bad members and you don't hare to corner them in order to get a flght" Girls , which would you rather be , a grass widow or an old maid ? WOMEN NOT Made , Because Unjustly This Statement Has Been Askeo By Modest Women Evade Questions Male Physicians. An eminent physician says that "Women are not truthful ; they will lie to their physician. " This statement should he qualified ; women do tell the truth , hut not the whole truth , to a male physician , but this is only in re gard to those painful and troublesome disorders peculiar to their sex. There can he no more terrible ordeal to a delicate , sensitive , refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions when those questions are asked , even by her family physician. This is especially the case with un married woman. Is it any wonder , then , that women continue to suffer and that doctors fail to cure female diseases when they cannot get the proper information to work on ? This is the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now corre sponding with Mrs. Pinkham. To her they can and do give every symptom , so that she really knows more about the true condition of her patients , through her correspondence with them than the physician who personally questions them. If you suffer from any form of trouble peculiar to women , write at once to Mrs , Pinkham , Lynn , Mass. , and she will advise you free of charge. The fact that this great boon , which is extended freely to women by Mrs. Pinkham , is appreciated , the thou sands of letters received by her prove.

" Three years ago I had inflammation of the ovaries and ulcers on my womb. I was under the doctor's caro for about three months , and the only time I was not in pain v/as when under the iniluence of morphine.
