FELT PAIN, AS SHE
IS STILL HUMAN
Christian Science Practitioner So
Testifies in Suit Against the
Street Car Company.
SAYS SHE CONSULTED DOCTOR
Mrs. Lenna P. Ellsworth, Christian
Science practitioner, who sued the
street railway company for $10,000
damages for alleged personal In
juries, testified in District Judge
English's court that she felt pain
when Injured because she Is "still
human" and has not yet reached such
an advanced state as to be exempt
from suffering.
W. J. Connell, attorney for the street
railway company, endeavored to Induce
Mrs. Ellsworth to way that she had no
pain, because suffering may be an ele
ment of damage If the Jury holds the
street railway company was responsible
for her Injury.
The dialogue was as follows:
"Did you have pain?"
"Tea. air."
"Well, don't your faith and belief
eliminate pain as well as medical treat
ment?" M1 llnmti.
"No, I am still human, and I am striv
ing to get the understanding of my God."
"I sec."
"And apply that wisdom to the best of
mv abilltv, hut I have not ruch-d h-t
State yet. where I am exempt from suf
fering when I am hurt.
"Did you at any time get relief from
pain by reason of this treatment that waa
given to you by this Christian Science
healer?"
"I certainly did."
Mra. Ellsworth and Mrs. Harriet Bessie
Jones, Scientist healer, who treated her
after the Injury, were cross-examined re
garding the difference between present
and absent treatments.
Mrs. Ellsworth said: "If you know any
thing about Christian Science, you know
that our treatments are given through
prayer through our understanding of the
Divine."
4'onsaltrd Phralrlan.
Mrs. Ellsworth testified that she con
sulted a physician, but received no medi
cine and would not have taken any had
he prescribed it.
Just before the afternoon session of
court began attorneys for the plaintiff
and the defendant company notified
Judge English that the case had been
settled. The auit was then dismissed.
The amount of the settlement was not

AS VE GROW OLDER
our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond wfcen we need it most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stiffened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in Scott's Emulsion to renew the blood
and carry strength to every organ of the
body, while its glyce rine soothes the res
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
btrengthen the excitable nerves.
Scott's Emulsion is a scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit to those past
fifty years particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
it worth. No akoUol or harmful drugs.

by Master's Plea;
Shep's Life Spared
When a ahepher dog belonging to
Oustav Berk, 2616 Dodge street, ws
sentenced to be shot by Judge Foster
because It bit a passing gas inspector,
Berk and his wife put up such a plea in
Its defense that Foster reconsidered the
sentence and agreed to spare the animal's
life If it was sent to the country. Berk
agreed to this, after telling the court wIMi
team in his eyes how the tlog had awed
his life. It seemed that Berk several
years ago waa walking one night on a
oorly lighted street In Denver, when.
an armed holdup man stopped him. The
dog seeing Ita master In danger seised the
wrist containing the weapon In its teeth
and Berk was enabled to overpower the
marauder. It was when this tale was fin
ished that the Judge agreed to spare tin
canine's life.

Curlin Hair 7Ai Way
Preserves Its Beauty
That dull, dead appearance of the hair
no longer troublea the woman who has
adopted tho sllmerlne method of keeping
her tresses In curl. The result Is very
different from that produoed by the dry
ing, devitalising waving Iron. The hair
appears more naturally wavy and curly,
and the application la really beneficial
to the life and growth of the hair.
Anv druggiat can of course supply the
liquid ailmerlne and one need not get
more than a few ounces. A small quan
tity should be put on before retiring,
using for the purpose a clean tooth brush,
drawing thla down the full lenath of the
lair from root to tin. The effect upon
arising is delightfully surprising and
'.hnra Is no discoloration, no stickiness,
,-reasiness, nor any other unpleasant ac
ompanlment. The hair Is quite man
ageable, no matter how it is done up.
