To show that Codeln containing opium
which locks up secretions, commonly
used In Diabetes Is wrong and that Hil

no opium or sedatives but promotes fed
erations. Is right, we will say that If
four physicians of good standing In this
city will send us a Diabetic between
fltty and seventy years of age, strong
enough to call at our office, showing:
high specific gravity thirst and a large
quantity of sugar; we will with this
mild Infusion to help the liver oxidize
the sugars and starches, attempt to re
turn him In sixty days with half of the
sugar eliminated, with thirst and symp
toms largely reduced and on the road
to recovery. IC we fall we will publish
tho fact; If we succeed the physicians
to acknowledge It We want a patient,
whom we can both trust This offer Is
not In the nature of a contest, but to
demonstrate that life can be prolonged
or recoveries had In many cases of Dia

"Beauty Is. not Just skin deep It goes

said Maude Knowlton, with the combina

makes a background of emphasis for her
every word. "That Is not saying that I

that It goes right through the outer shell

Advice to Lovelorn

Their Advice la UooU,
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been keep
ing company with a girl for almost a
year. Within the last lew weeks slid has
acted very funny. She told be she loved
me, and when 1 called she would be'verv
nice to me. The next night she would
not notice me. Her parents, knowing nf
this, tald they did not know what to
make of It. They told me to stay away
for awhile and see what would happen
J. K.
No one knows her better than the,
and their advice is worth something
Try It. Go further and occasionally
call on another girl. If this brings no
change tn her I am afraid your case li
hopeless.
She In in the Wrong-.
Dear Miss Fairfax; I have been keep

come of her old gentlemen friends, who
received her attention all the eventne.
When the time oame to go home I asked
her to go home with me, but she refused,

I then left her. Did I do proper In lettv

' The battle of Lundy's lane, fought
nlnetv-nlne years ago, July 25, X814, during
the American Invasion of Canada In the
"War of '12," was In point of numbers, a
mere skirmish: and
ypt for reasons
which will pres
ently appear, the
'battle deserves a
firm place In our
memories.
In the first place,
the battle had a
setting such as sel
dom falls to tho
Jot of contending
armies. ' It was
fought within sight
and sountf of the
mighty cataract of
Niagara. Tho roar of th great falls
mingled with the thunder ot artillery and
the crackje of musketry, and with the
battle-smoke was lnterwreathed the mist
of the "Hell of Waters." By all means,
the affair should have been named the
"Battle of Niagara."
Tt was a most bloody battle. Tho Ameri
cans had about 1,000 men, tho British
about 1,300, and the losses tn killed and
wounded aggregated some 900; more than
a third of the total force engaged. That
was worse' tnan the "Light Brigade" at
Balaklava, or Pickett at Gettysburg. It
may not havo been "war," but certainly,
from the viewpoint of courage, It waa
"magnificent."
The' battle is distinguished from most
other battles, too, by the fact that the
men fought during the hours when, as a
rule, soldiers aro in bivouac. The fight
began "Just as the aun went down," and
was flnjshed airing about midnight. It
was fought not only to tho acQompanit
ment of Niagara's roar, but under the
great stars and suns, which looked down
on the combatantH ho unconcernedly us
they tore away at each other's throats tn
their madness.
While tho stars, from their distant vantage-ground,
and the "Man In the Moon,"
from his safe position above the "firing
lino," were looking down so calmly upon
the strange antics of the earthllngs, the
American General Brown observed that
a British battery on a high hill was play
ing, havoc with his line. Calling Colonel
Henry Miller to his side, he said to him:
"Colonel, do you see that battory over
yonder on the hill?" "I catch a vague
outline of tt, sir," replied Miller. "Do
you think you could tako It?" nervously
Inquired the general "I can try, sir."
answered the colonel. And he did try
and, what Is better, he won, with a loss
of two-tlitrds of his men. Three times
tho Britliii rallied for the recapturo of
that battery, and three times Miller drove
them back, held the battery, and won
the field.
Niagara did not hear that "I can try,
sir," the stars did. not hear It, the man
In ft1 moon did not hear It, but the muse
of history caught the fcouiul of the herotf
wo'di and w'll keep them sounding down

So, Mother's Too Fussy,"
is She? Poor Motherand
Poor Daughter : : :
By WINIFRED BLACK,
"Mother's too fusBy." Dear girl, f,
wish 1 could take you with me down
to the police court
some bright, sunny
morning and see
jour face when the
girls, whose moth
ers are not "too
fussy," come jnto
the court poor,
silly things Just
for being out on
the street at night
and rupnlng about
with all sorts ot
strangers.
"Mother's too
fussy!" Well, well,
I suppose my little
boy thinks the
same thing about
me. 1 took a
sharp knife away from him the other
day when I saw him running with It
open In his hand. He cried and said I
was crocs.
I wonder what he would have said
about mo when he grow older If I had
let htm put his bright eyes out with
that very knife, Just because I didn't
want to be "too fussy?"
I saw a girl this morning who had a
mother who wasn't "fussy" at all. Tho
girl goes to publlo dances with the
"other girls" and she goes to moving
picture shows every night with "the
rest of the crowd." And a few months
ago a nice looking stranger cumo and
sat with tho "crowd" and when the show
was over ho took ths whole party to
have some Ice cream.
Such a nice fellow he wa4-so pollto
and respectful, How "fussy" It would
have been to refuse to let htm speak to
a girl Just because she didn't know Just
who he was.
That's what the girl I know thought.
And yesterday she was a witness tn
court and had to toll the Judge how she
came to know the man and where she
got the ptn ho gave tier for he turned
out to bo a thief, and he was trying to
teach the girl to steal, too for htm.
Tho mother who wasn't too "fussy"
cried when the Judge asked her what
she was thinking of to let her growing
gtrl run about like that. I'm afraid she
wishes now that she's been "fussy" tn
time.
There was another girl In court whoso
mother hadn't been "fussy" etthor. Bho
ran away with a man she'd met twice
at a high school dance and marrleu him
"Just for fun;" and he deserted her and
left her friendless and penniless In a
strange town and some one had her
arrested for begging.
Ho, you're too young for beaux, mother
thinks. Well, llttlo ilster, I think mother
is right and you aro wrong, dead wrong
why shouldn't you be? Who knows most
about life," dear, child the mother who's
lived It or -you who ouly Just begin to
even look on?
it's not a game; child, this life you're
so crazy to get Into.. It Isn't all fun.
It's something very much like work,
and hard work at that. Your mother
wants to save, you-to help you, to keep
you from harm and trouble. Why
won't you let her. foolish tittle thing
that you are?
"Don't go near the pretty light,'' says
the mother to her silly little daughter,
"Careful, careful; ' I singed my own
wings there. Yes, I know It's bright,
but It's fatal, too there. Oh, I knew
tt, I knew." And In she pops, the little
foolish moth, and flops out If she's
lucky, ono wing gone; tho oilier singed
burned, frightened, tiurt, puzzled-home
lo mother, who's "too fussy" about
lights, becauso sho knows what they aro
and what will happen to little foolish
moths who persist In flying too close
to thorn.
Your, mother Isn't your enemy, child
She Isn't trying "to spite you when sho
tells, you you are too young for beaux,
She's trying to save you. Can't you
listen to her? What If she should bo
over-parttcular-that's better than' being
too easygoing when a little daughter Is
to be considered. What If she does want
to keep you young? You'll have a long
life to llvo without her. Can't you give
her a few little happy years, the mother
who loves you so?
Some day you'll wish you had. Some
day you'd give every hair In your foolish
llttla head to have mother there to be
"fussy" about you, and she'll be gone
and there'll be no one to take her
place, no one to care whether you go
wiong or go right; whether you are well
or III, happy or miserable and then?
Walt, little foolish girl; watt a little
longer Just for mother's sake and your
own. You'll have a whole lifetime for
beaux. Would you believe It If I should
tell you that some day you'll wonder
what you ever saw In the dark-eyed
stranger who calls you over tho phone?
He's plgcon-tocd-honestly he Is-and not
so awfully bright-and, whisper again,
who bought him that tie? Did he earn
It himself or did mother buy It for htm,
and sister tell htm how to wear It, and
are they alt laughing at you for being
such a goose over him, whom you don't
even know?
Think It over. It pays to think once
In a while, even when you're Just In
,hlgh school, honestly it does.
Cupid's Play Crop
Hy HKATRIOE FAIRFAX
Tourists' guide books given explicit Af
fections for thosa who wish to go to
mountain or seashore suitably dressed
for a climb or a swim.
Don't wear thln-soled shoes; don't wear
long-trained skirts; don't wear silk hose;
don't wear garments built exclusively
for show; don't wear this and don't wear
that, page upon page for the guidance of
the gtrl who Is packing her trunk, ana
nut a warning about a certain little
adornment commonly worn In summer In
a most conspicuous place.
Here lp the warning whloh they wilfully
omit: Don't wear your heart on your
sleeve!
A sole too thin, or a bonnet too perish
able, never returned from a summer out
ing showing such Irreparable signs of
wear aa the heart that Is worn on tho
sleeve. Thoy may be replaced; tt can
never be. The damage to the shoe and
the bonnet are forgotten. One seldom
entirely recovers- from the damage done
to one's heart.
Few tilings said In the moonlight aro
said seriously. A boy, a girl, a moon
light utght with Its poetlo accompani
ment of silence and solltuue; and Cupid
chuckles with Impish glee. He knows
a spell has been thrown over the man
which will cause htm to say things he
does not mean. He knows also that the
moonlight will make of the most doubt
ing girl the most credulous. It Is a rare
setting for his annual play crop, and he
rslsos his bow and takes careful aim at
the heart worn so conspicuously, ana so
unguarded, on the girl's sleeve.
A play crop for Cupid, but seldom a
play crop for those who are his vlotlms.
The man, after tho manner ot his
sex, recalls other moonlight nights with
other pretty girls on which were said
and done tho same things. Repetition
of the story of love never Increases Its
sacredness, and he has learned not to
take himself too seriously. He enjoys
making love. He makes It, and he for
gets It.
The girl, after the manner of her un-.
fortunate sex, wants to love and to be
loved, and Is so blinded by this longing:
to behold her lover that there Is none
but welcome lights tn her eyes; not ono
little searchlight to seek out signs of in
sincerity. She hears and believes, and returns
from her vacation with her heart sink
ing. She counts the days till that whon
he said he would come, and never learns
till she has countad them off, over and
over again, with tier tears, that that
which to her waa seriousness was to htm
nothing more than a season's nonsenso.
He never comes, he never writes, and
when she has waited till she can wait
no longer she writes little tear-stained
letters to me.
"What shall I dor' sho cries. "I love
htm, and his silence la breaking my
heart."
There is nothing she oun do save watt
patiently and quietly for tne healing
hand of time. Her heart has been bat
tered, and the next season she doesn't
wear tt so conspicuously unguarded on
her sleeve
