Marks

There is a story of an old lady who made up a batch of mince and apple pies. Wishing to be able to distinguish one kind from the other she marked the mince pies X M fr " tis mince " and the apple pies X IVI fr "taint mince."

The baker's marks on the ordinary run of bakery products are of little more value for purposes of identification than the marks on the old lady's pics. But HERE is a trade mark that really identifies that enables you to distinguish the world's best baking the Biscuit, Crackers and Wafers made by the NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY. This trade mark appearing in red and white on

each end of a package guarantees the contents to be pure, clean and fresh. To learn something of what this try a package of either of the products mentioned below.

r Graham Crackers Possessing the rich, nutty flavor of graham flour unlike any graham crackers you ever tasted. GETS $40,000 FOR BOOK CHURCHILL PAID RECORD PRICE FOR BIOGRAPHY. Young Member of Parliament Writes Life of His Father. Lord Randolph Churchill. London, Jan. 31. Winston Churchill the English one who already has one or two performances to his account which are records in their way, must now be credited with another. It seems that for his recently published life of his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, the young member of parliament received from the MacMillans, the baggest pYiee ever paid for a work of the kind. He got $40,000 down, with the additional agreement that half the profits on the bok should come to him after the publishers have pocketed $20,000 as their share. In other words, Churchill has been paid at the rate of $1.25 a line, or about 12 cents a word, and if the book sells as well as it is expected to do his words are likely to produce twice that sum each. As it is, however, Lord Randolph's brilliant son has gotten ahead of the great John Morley, whose hororarium for writing his life of Gladstone, was supposedly the highest ever paid for although Mr. Morley got $50,000 for his work, it contained 1.972 pages, while Churchill's biography of his father is composed of only 1,086. Other biographers are nowhere. As for historians, the record does not seem to be held by any writer of late years, but must be credited to Lord Maeauley, whose fee of $70,000 for writing his "History of England," has never been approached. Of fiction writers, Marie Corelli probably still tops the list., for a book from her pen brings in $100,000 or more nowadays, and Hall Caine is not far behind. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

LONDON MEDIC TELLS HOW TO POSTPONE LIFE TO RIPE AGE.

CARE OF THE SOLAR PLEXUS Is Key to Long- Life All Depends cn "Abdominal Brain," Which Controls Nervous System, London, Jan. 31. Dr. Cornwall Round, a medical practitioner in London, claims to have discovered how to live forever barring accidents. As he is only 40 years old himself it cannot be said that in his own person he offers even presumptive evidence of the truth of his theories. But that is no reason, he thinks, why he should not start a lot of other people living for ever, and he has just eonlided to me how the thing can be done. According to Dr. Round, dying is simply a "bad racial habit," which wo have all got into, and should strive our utmost to get out of. "As a matter of fact," he said, "we each have the free will to create our own ideal of longevity, and according to our faith it will be done unto us." Those who cannot muster faith enough to persuade themselves that 1 they cannot go on living indefinitely should endeavor to emulate Methuselah, who, Dr. Round reminds us, lived to be 969 years old. "Surely," said the doctor, "that is a better ideal than the current three score years and ten, and equally authoritative." And if people can't convince themselves that they may equal Methuselah's longevity record they might fix their ideal on Moses, who, according to scripture, "was an hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eye was not dim nor his natural force abated." The thing to be fought against and eliminated is what Dr. Round calls the "death instinct." That, it appears, is something which has been transmitted to us by our benighted ancestors, who, because they observ- I ed that all lives ended in death, were illogical enough to assume that there was no way of stopping it. In getting rid of this death instinct and laying the foundations of perpetual life a great deal depends upon getting the solar plexus to behave itself prop'erly. Most people in America first heard of the solar plexus through Bob Fitzsimmons, who knocked out Corbett by landing on that portion of his anatomy and thereby won the fistic heavyweight championship. But, according to Dr. Round, there is a deal more in the solar plexus than Bob Fitzsimmons ever found out. It is the "abdominal brain." It controls the "sympathetic or involuntary nervous system," which has a whole lot to do with the emotions. And the man who gets it to obey the behests of the brain, working harmoniously with it, instead of kicking against it, may, if Dr. Round's discovery amounts to anything, live long enough to beat Methuselah's record out of sight. "The disease of everyday life," said Dr. Round, "are the solar plexus' attempts to throw off effete poisonous matter from the system and bo right a wrong a former sin against ourselves that we have knowingly or unknowingly committed and at the same time by painful symptoms give us a friendly warning that we are misconducting the internal affairs of the body, and should, therefore, set our house of flesh in order." So the important thing is to train and treat the solar plexus that it won't give in when old age and disease tackles us. The solar plexus, the doctor tells us, is remarkably amenable to suggestions. "It will," he says, "carry any suggested idea to its logical conclusion (that is evidently what it did when Fitzsimmons hit it so hard) and by means of the sympathetic nervous system, it will tend to rebuild the body according to the logical result deduced from the accepted suggestion."

Royal Offices a Buckinham Palace Equipped with Roll Top Desks, and Typewriters. London, Jan. 31. King Edward is one of the largest users in England of American business conveniences and labor saving devices. Quite recently he adopted the xVmerican card index and letter filing system in dealing with his vast daily corresjondence, besides having speaking tubes of American make installed in Buckingham palace. American typewriters, roll top desks, and office furniture are used extensively not only at the royal residence in London, but at Windsor Castle and Sandringham house, the king's country seat in Norfolk. That King Edward is one of the busiest men in Europe most people are aware, but the exact methods by which his majesty dispatches his daily work are little known. In his private office everything the king uses is methodized, so to speak, down to the last degree. His tables are arranged at a certain angle, and everything 011 his desks has its affixed place. This table arrangement is followed wherever the king goes whether at Saudringham, Windsor, or even when traveling on the continent. On each desk is a tray of note paper classified according to size and purpose. This is always at the left hand of the king. Other trays, of special shapes, are used for letters to be answered and for those ready to be signed. The king begins his work for the day as soon as he is out of bed. Before he is dressed a secretary begins reading him the morning's telegrams and news; a specially prepared abstract of the important items having been made for him by Lord Knollys. When the king has breakfasted an engagement book is produced and his majesty is reminded of lis "business,, for the day. If cer; infor

D street. mation is required from any of the staff it can be produced almost instantly owing to the perfection of the elaborate system of reference and cross indices which have been 'introduced. The typewriter American make has long been at home with King Edward. During the days of Queen Victoria machine correspondence was little used, but when the king took charge a battery of machines was installed, and they have done strenuous duty ever since and have been increased largely of late. Even letters of what would seem a private character are typed by one of the king's secretaries, and only the signature or a line or two give them that personal character which indentifies them as his own. In order to save the time which would be spent in copying the letters carbons are made of each, for nothing leaves the palace li business office" even the most unimportant line unless a record is first made of ;t. Not only is each department of the palace connectetd by speaking tubes but a special wire service, with the most skilled and trust-worthy operators, is in communication with all the state departments. This saves intermediate transmision and much time. Not only are the departments of state connected by the wires here referred to, but the king has a special telephone system, so as to be entirely independent of outsid service. It is impossible to "tap" any information coming from or going to the palace, as might be done were public wires used. All the desks at Buckinham palace are of the typical "roll top" variety, and the king carries in his pocket a small "master key" which will open any of them. The same key fits the desks at his other seats Windsor etc. Another time saving scheme introduced by the king into his work is the use of colored paper for certain kinds of business and colored envelopes are used extensively for all kinds of work coming under special heads.
