CHARLOTTE NEWS MARCH 6, i9C6 6 Most old people are great sufferers in Winter. They . A V are seldom free from pains or ailments of some description, because they are not as able to withstand the severity of the climate, with its damp, changing weather, as are their younger, more vigorous companions. Gold weather starts the old aches and pains; they suffer with chilly sensations, cold extremities, poor appetite and digestion, nervousness, sleeplessness and other afflictions peciiliar to old age. With advancing years the strength and vitality of the system begin to decline. The heart action is weak and irregu lar the blood becomes thin and sluggish in its circulation, and often some old blood taint that has lain dormant in the system for years begins to man. ffest itself. A wart or pimple becomes a troublesome sore or ulcer, skifl dis eases break out, or the slight rheumatic pains felt in younger days now cause sleepless nights and hours of agony. There is no reason why old age should not be healthy and free from disease if the blood is kept pure and the system strong, and this can be done with S. S. S. It is a medicine that is especially adapted to old people, because it is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, selected for their purifying, healing and building-up properties, and is very mild and srentle in its action.

Staked $4 in a Poker Game and Took Out $500,000. From the Kansas City Times. Many stories have been written about Henry C. Cutting, the man who went into the Tonopah mining camp in 1901 with $4 in his pockets and made $500,000 in the next two years. When a man does a thing like that people are bound to talk, but seldom do they tell the real inside details of how the wonder was performed. Some writers have described Mr. Cutting as having discovered a hole full of gold, some thing like that which "Scotty" is said to have, and while this may literally be true, he didn't get his start that way. It all came about through a game of poker and after that plenty of good hard work" and much anxiety. Mr. Cutting was at the Coates House yes terday with Mrs. Cutting, whom he ac quired some time subsequent to the poker incident. He wasn't inclined at first to talk about his adventures, but after a while he did tell enough to show that the success he achieved was due entirely to the fact that he wasn't afraid of 'work and that the American disposition to keep everlastingly peg ging away was strongly developed in His make-up. "It was in the very first, days of Tonapah," Mr. Cutting began, "I reach ed there when the population number ed about 35 persons, all men. I had just $4 in my pocket. Strolling about the camp I found a poker game, and, deciding that I might as well be broke as bent, I 'sat in' with two stacks of whites it wasn't a high-price game, you see. The man opposite me owned the one boarding house in the camp, and I played to win his money because I needed it. There were no remark able 'hands' dealt, nothing exciting about it, but when I got up I'd won enough to pay for a month's board whichy I did, on the spot and had ?12.50kleft. "Jim Butler was king of Tonapah then. He had staked out the whole camp. I went to him, after the game, and got a verbal lease of a claim and began work that minute. You can just bet it was hard work, the hardest kind. There were times when I wanted to quit, but I wouldn't. Men came along and I put them to work.' I stood good for their board with my friend of the poker game, and we pegged away at that hole for a month. We struck the right stuff; I shipped my ore. I got returns in six weeks and I paid my men. My mine? I had the first lease on the 'Mizpah ledge.' When the term on that lease ended I had 80 men working, and' was taking out thous ands of dollars every day, as the his tory of the camp shows. That's how I made my pile." With his future assured, Mr. Cutting married a San Francisco girl who had been waiting for. him, and the honey moon trip was a stage ride to Tona pah. "It is, and always has been an exceptionally quiet camp, morally," he said. "For eight months after the dis covery we had no justice of the peace or any other law officer. All the leases were verbal agreements, and yet there were no fights and no quarrels. The first two men who died there w(ere victims of heart disease and pneu monia. . . I preached the funeral ser mon for both, because the boys said some one had to do it, 'and we had no sky pilot. I also led tne choir, and we sang 'Nearer, My God, to Thee,' and no one ever heard it sung with more meaning or more earnestness." Mr. Cutting is now erecting the first steel building in Tonapah. It will cost $40,000. The population of the place is now 5,000, he says, and the town has electric light and good water and sew erage systems. A SECRET OF YOUTH. Don't Think. Don't Stand Up, Says Who Do Stand. Beauty Women The presence of a noted beauty doc tor from London in this city recalled to a group of women the other day the method of preserving her looks which has made a New York beauty of a score of years ago a much admired London hostess to this day. She was not in the first flush of youth when she married, but her wonderful freshness and look of young womanhood was everywhere admired. One day she was asked how she man aged to retain sucix an appearance of girlishness. "There are two things I never do," she said, "and that is what keeps me young. I never think, and I never stand up." By these two kinds of abstinence she avoided the wrinkles that come into the face of a woman who frowns, as most of them do when they think hard, and she prevents herself from looking fatigued at any time by dropping into any chair she saw. This second device would have made her conspicuous in these days, especial ly at a dinner. Usually the drawing room, when the women retire to it, presents a sight incomprehensible to a stranger. . . The women will all be found to be standing. This attitude they take for the sake of their vanity. Whatever the ground for their faith may be, they are implicit believers in the theory that standing for twenty minutes after each meal will take off fiesh. Little Splinters. Coffee grounds Brazil.

'A careless grocer left the wrong package at a Michigan home one day and thereby brought a great blessing to the household. " "Two years ago I suffered from stomach trouble, so acute that the ef fort to digest ordinary food gave me great pain, and brought on a condition of such extreme nervousness that I could not be left alone. I thought I should certainly become insane. I was so reduced in flesh that I was little bet ter than a living skeleton. The doctors tailed to give me relief and J despair ed of recovery. 77 ,"One day our groceryman left a package of Grape-Nuts food by mistake so I tried a dish for dinner. I was surprised to find that it satisfied, my appetite and gave me no distress what ever. The next meal I ate of it again, and to be brief, I have lived for the past year almost exclusively on Grape Nuts. It has proved to be the most healthy and appetizing food, perfectly adapted to the requirements of any system. "It is not only easily digested and assimilated itself, but I find that since I have been using it I am able to eat anything else my appetite' fancies, without trouble from indigestion. The stomach trouble and nervousness have left me, I have regained my plump ness and my views of life are no long er despondent and gloomy. Other members of my family, especially my husband, (whose old enemy the 'heart burn' has been vanquished) have also derived great benefit from the use of Grape-Nuts food and we (think no morning meal complete without it:' Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. t " There's a reason.

"St. Louis, struggling in her efforts to build a free bridge across the Mis sissippi river, and get out of the clutches of the bridge arbitrary that has drained her purse of many mil lions of dollars, observes the divorce application of the Countess Boni de Castellane with an air of remorse," says a former- St. Louisan now in Washington. "It is the cold gray dawn of the morning after with the Missouri Met ropolis. All of her striving merchants and citizens who have been paying big tolls for the traffic across the Anna Gould bridge such as $5 apiece for the hundreds of freight cars, 50 cents and $1 for teams and so much a head for pedestrians and cattle, are reading of now his dashing nibs, . . the County Boni, has been spending. $2,000 a day of the proceeds to buy yachts to play with, and costly bric-a-brac for his Bois de Boulogne palace, and to give $200,000 feasts, and lavish the lucre here and there to amuse, himself. "We see by the dispatches," contin ues the St. Louis man, "that the form er Miss Gould has paid, about $9,000, 000 in eleven years of her married life for the title of eountess.f This amount would help St. Louis, where it , prob ably all came from, to build, her a free bridge, and would greatly reduce the biliousness of those poor" cusses who have been contributing to the coffers of the count. "While the St. Louis workman's wid ow was paying hard-earned pennies for supplies, taxed excessively on ac count of the bridge tariff, Mr. Count Boni was buying Napoleon's bed for his boudoir, a $100,000 Sevres clock that wouldn't run to ornament his lux urious den, and giving Valhalla enter tainments that cost like small bridges, it the information is straight. "We all love, our Anna Gould, but we St. Louisans cherish little affection for the prodigality of her radiant hub by, and wish her all the success she is entitled to in her prayer for separa tion. We hope she will be able to save some of the millicns she has contribut ed to the fantastic whims of her titled lord. If it is true that her husband bought her a diamond necklace for tP O A !

"Crape pullers get a twenty, per cent, commission." said the conservative florist, "That commission comes off the flowers, though," he added, sneer ing. "What is a crape puller?" "A crape puller is a man who, watch ing the death notices in the news papers, calls on all the bereaved fami lies and solicits orders for fiovers for the funeral. W call such a man a crape puller contemptuously, pretend ing that he gets indoors by yarning the crape which hangs rrom .the door bell. A good, many florists encourage crape pulling in fact, live on it. They have booklets, illustrated with "photo graphs, that tell all about the various designs they make. With these book lets the crape puller can solicit orders in an intelligible way "We conservatives don't encourage crape pulling. We consider it un seemly and indecorous in the first place, and in the second place, since the big commission to the puller comes not out of the pockets of the florist but off the order of the purcnaser, we con sider it a little dishonest. But death is always with us. Florists must live. The new guild of the crape pullers grows by hundreds weekly." New York Press. SUES S. A. L. FOR LARGE AMOUNT. W. H.

Ogden, Utah, Mch. 6. "Water makes me ill. Sometimes the mere sight of it nauseates me." That is the reson Mrs. Sarah Mills, of this city, gives for not having drunk water for forty-eight years. "My abstinence from water is not a matter of rule," says she. "I simply don't care for water as a beverage, and, after having gone without it for a few months and suffering no ill ef fects, I got so I never thought of drink ing it any more than I would think of taking a glass of poison. And it is a sort of poison to my system. When I was a little girl I remember that often a glass of water would make me deathly sick." "W7hat do you drink as a substitute for water?" was asked ot Mrs. Mills. "Tea, coffee, lemonade and in the summer beer are . my principal bever ages. But even then I drink sparingly. Somehow I don't crave liquids. When I am not feeling well I can go hours and hours without drinking anything." "Do vou drink tea or coffee whenever you are thirsty, Mrs. Mills?" "No, indeed. I am not addicted to tea drinking at all, as one might sus pect I would be. I rarely drink more than one cup a day, usually at dinner, and never between meals. It is the same with coffee. Milk I never touch." Mrs. Mills was feeling indisposed yesterday. She said .that when she sat down to luncheon she felt worn out, having travelled much recently. "And do you know that the mere pouring of water at the table made me feel worse?" she said. "I thought for awhile that I should have to leave the table. "T cannot state the scientific reason for my loathing water, having never consulted a physician on tne suDject. Rnmfl neonle have susreested inat it is nil .mflsrination: that' I have gotten so in the habit of refusing a drink of wa ter that to drink one after these years nf abstinence would affect me psycho logically and in no other way. That isn't true. Water seems to poison my whole system, and that's all there is to it." .: ' "A .V TV . , . ' $' IT PAYS TO READ NEWS $ 4- WANT ADS EVERY DAY IN .'4.

The Supreme Court has declared thai the provisions of the medical laws permit ting the State Board of Medical Exam iners to revoke certificates of physic ians who make "grossly improbable" professional statements is invalid. The army of fakers who promise to cure incurable diseases of forty years stand ing in a week and a half for "a dollar and a quarter may once more attract the unwary with gilded tales without fear of punishment. The only protection that the State may have is in the passage of some bill which will "define just what sort of lies will not pass muster. - The matter was brought to the at tention of the Supreme Court on a pe tition for a writ of certiorari filed by Jessie C. Hewitt, of Los Angeles. The petitioner had been deprived of the right to practice by the Board of Med ical Examiners because she advertised the "ouly sure cure for cancer." The other members of the profession felt confident that she was not so far ahead of the rest of civilization as she claim ed, but the Judges do not see that the question of her efficiency is involved. It is held that the "grossly improb able" statement which shall be a bar to practise must be defined specifically. It is pointed out that one school of medicine declares another school made "grossly improbable" statements, and that the Board of Medical Examiners, having a majority of one school in its membership, might bar the champions of rival theories. , ; - ' The action of the board in .
