BEAR S MEMORY UNUSUALLY LONG jRemembers Man Who Caplured Six Years Ago and Imported It.

(developed UGLY SPIRIT. Y LL WAS CHANGED WHEN OLD KEEPER RETURNED AND PUT HI8 HAND IN THE MOUTH OF THE SAVAGE BEAST. New York, Aug. 22. An unusual Pease of memory in an animal has just j Icome to light at the Bronx park zoo. Six years ago, when J. Alden Ixring rwas a curator at the Bronx park zoo, he made a trip to Alaska to get a herd of white mountain sheep. He visited Admiral's ieland, just off the coast, and there came across a cub bear of the Alaskan black bear species. This he brought back with him,- together with the mountain sheep. The bear cub was a little felflow. Its mother had been shot by hunters and it had been reared on a bottle. The cub became very fond of Mr, Loring. He continued to feed, it jon a bottle until large enough to eat 'solid food. The cub was put in a cage by itself land became a part of the Bronx park I zoo collection. At first he was as genjtle as a kitten and loved nothing better than a romp with Mr. Loring. Mr. Loring named the cub The Admiral. iHe is now the largest bear in the ! colony and weighs 900 pounds. Curator I coring left the Bronx park jzoo about five years ago. He went to Denver and became a curator of the zoo of that city. The Admiral grew Into a big bear, soon outstripping all the others. As The Admiral grew he seemed to lose his playful ways.v He developed an ugly spirit, which freiquently manifested itself, i A few days ago Mr. Loring visited Ithe Bronx park zoo. He had not been 'there since he left five .years before. He went to The Admiral's cage and the great bear, as soon as he heard Mr. Loring's voice, rushed to the bars and reached his paws through to his I old friend. ' Mr. Loring petted and patted the jbear, finally placing his hand in its Ifinen mnnth in Knito nf thf l-ppnpr'a warning. The bear's eyes twinkled and when the hand was withdrawn he licked i'. excitedly. The keepers are still talking about the incident, for it was the first time in months that anyone has dared to I go near the great beast. INITIALS ME COSTLY Especially, If Carved on Desks By Children, When at School. SIGNS OF ROMANCES New York, Aug. 22. Records of childish romances scrawled on walls, scratched on window panes, and carvled on desks and woodwork in tho New York public schools will this year cost the city $1,XH,0N to efface. Superintendent C. B. J. Snyder has jjust made his report of what it will ' cost to put the ."KX) school buildings in i shape for the fall term, which opens Sept, 14. Practically all that needs I to be done, he says, is to repair the walls, windows and desks, which were , defaced last year by the children. There are (r,(HX boys and girls In ithe New York schools and, figuring there are as many girls as boys, this means about 347,riOt romances. Judging from the records found by Mr. Snyder, cupid Is no respecter of persons. Legends announcing "I love Alice," "Mabel is my girl," or "Willie Jones Is a lovely boy," are just as numerous in the schools of the aristocratic sections as they are in the Ghetto. It Is expected that the total enrollment for the coming season will be 720,000, or 23.0OO in excess of the enrollment last session.

Better Not Get Dyspepsia If you can help it Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion. But don't trifle with Indigestion.

A great many people who have' trifled with indigestion, have been orry for It when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it. Ue Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia. Everyone la subject to Indigestion. Stomach derangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and Just as surely as a sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol. When you experience sourness ef stomach, belching of gas and nauseating fluid, bloated sensation, gnawing pain in the pit of the stomach, heart burn (so-called), diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or chronic tired feeling you need Kodol. And then the quicker you take Kodol the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest it Ordinary pepsin "dyspepsia tablets," physics, etc., are not likely to be of much benefit, to you, in digestive ailments. . Pepsin is only

Science Awed When Man's Blood Makes Wife Part of Himself

New York, Aug. 22. A pint of her husband's blood infused into the veins of Mrs. Anna Bradley, following an operation at St. James' hospital. Newark, is slowly but surely working a mental change in the woman that has astonished the physicians at the institution and may result in a transformation that will cause a revolution in medical science. Mrs. Bradley is rapidly turning into a man. A few weeks ago she was the most feminine of women, frail, intensely nervous, subject to fainting fits at the least excitement, and literally "weak as a woman." Today her nerves are a unshakable as though they were wires of steel, her muscles have hardened until they are as firm as those of a man. and as "for fainting under the stress of any kind of excitement, Mrs. Bradley herself would be the first to laugh at the idea. The doctors declare that they can even detect a change in the timbre of Mrs. Bradley's voice, that it has taken on an unmistakable masculine tone. All this has been effected by the infusion into the woman's veins of a large quantity of man's blood. Three or four weeks ago Mrs. Bradley wa3 brought to the hospital suffering from a disease which her husband's medical advisers declared would necessitate an operation requiring the use of an anaesthetic. So delicate was Mrs. Bradley that the doctors pointed out to her husband that it would be extremely dangerous to use the knife until her system had been built up to bear the shock. The operation was necessary, however, to preserve his wife's health, and Bradley insisted that it be performed. The doctors agreed at last, but only on condition that the woman be given a preliminary "training" process to put her in condition for the ordeal. Among other things it was decreed that a quantity of rich, strong human blood should be infused into her body. The doctors were looking around for some one to supply the life giving flu-

Reports of Crop Conditions Give Outlook as Promising

An idea that floods rnd a backward spring have had a far reaching damaging effect is most satisfactorily disproved by a thorough canvasa of the agricultural districts. Tho first accurate and comprehensive report on the agricultural situation is supplied through Lord & Thomas, the western advertising agents, Chicago, who have'just had an exhaustive outline of crop ccnd.'tions from practically every publisher of farm papers in the United States, for the benefit of manufacturers who look for reliable information on the country's condition in advance of the actual measuring of crops after harvest is fully completed. Reports from man states arc genuine eye openers, showing prosperity in fact, unusually abundant wealth where the average individual would hardly l-.avc expected it, and the total crop showing is so decidedly favorable that, while only a few of the earlier products have been Irrvested. one would have to be decidedly pessimistic to see anything but the most encouraging conditions in every locality. Authorities in Kansas cgree that the state has before it the biggest crop of all kinds in tho history of the country. Arthur Capper, publisher of the Missouri Valley Farmer at Topoka. Kas., and allied publications, reports a wheat acreage of 7.000,000; corn, ,- 930.000 acres; and states that the !arget crop in the history of the state is assured. This report is fully indorsed by the Farmers Advocate of Topeka. It states that the thrashing reports show the western section of the state to have produced eighteen to twenty-two bushels per acre of wheat of good quality. James Atkinson of the Iowa Homestead reports crop conditions on the whole better than they were on the corresponding date of last year. He estimates a corn crop of between 2.10.OW.OOO and 30n.000.00O bushels compared with 250,000.000 bushels last year. He estimates cats twenty-five per cent, larger crop than lr.st year. Mr. Atkinson says that if Iowa could have a normal season lasting through September without frost all crops a partial digester and physics are not digesters at all. Kodol is a perfect digester. If you could see Kodol digesting every particle of food, of all kinds, in the glass test-tubes in our laboratories, you would know this just as well as we do. Nature and Kodol will always cure a sick stomach but in order to be cured, the stomach must rest. That Is what Kodol does rests the stomach, while the 6tomach get well. Just as simple as A, B, C. Our Guarantee Go to your drnpfrist today and (ret a dollar bottle. Then after you have, used the entire contents of the bottle if you can honestly say, that it has not done you any pood, return the bottle to the UrwRirist and be will refund your money without question or delay. We wili then pay the druprrist for the bottle. Don't hesitate, all ru?Kits know that our iruarantee is good. This offer applies to the larpe bottle only and to but one in a family. The large bottle contains SH times as much as the fifty cent bottle. Kodol is prepared at the laboratories of K C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago.

Id, when Bradley offered to bare his own arm for the sacrifice. The husband is a strapping six footer, a strong, dark, remarkably virile man. An athlete all his life, he had never known a day of serious illness. Just as his wife was a typical example of womanly weakness, he was a type of the strong man. The doctors gladly accepted Bradley's offer and preparation for the transfusion were immediately begun. A vein in the husband's powerful forearm was opened and a pint of his blood poured into the veins of the wife. Think Woman Resembles Brother. A radical change In Mrs. Bradley was noticeable within twenty-four hours. She began to put on flesh, improve in color, and to gain nervous strength. 'In a week she was so strong that her operation, a minor one, could be performed, and a few hours later she had recovered entirely from the shock and was convalescent. Since then she has been under close observation by the physicians, and many experts have been called in to view her case. Relatives who have visited her at the hospital say that they would hardly know her and that the appears more like her younger brother, an athlete or some reputation than her former self. Mrs. Bradley wants to leave the hospital now, but the physicians are delaying her departure as long as possible in order to record the changes that are being worked in her. She dislikes the notoriety that her case has entailed, but has agreed to submit to it for a few days longer for the good that it may do in furthering medical knowledge. The only explanation possible, according to the doctors, is that the blood of Patrick Bradley has so changed his wife that she has in reality become a part of him. The matter, which will be the subject for discussion at the next meeting of the Essex County Medical society, opens all manner of possibilities.

grown in the state would become nearly as valuable as 19045. In northern Iowa and the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota, where probably half the spring wheat of the country is grown, the Sioux City Farmers' Tribune reports conditions fully six per cent, better than a year ago. The Farmers Tribune says that South Dakota never ha3 looked so prosperous as it does today; in fact, the railroads are said to be worrying about car shortage to handle the crops Live stock men are reported in good shape. E. A. Webb, of the St. Paul Farmer, agrees that crop conditions of Minnesota and the two Dakotas are above the average of the last few years. He pronounces financial conditions good. The Wisconsin Agriculturist, of Racine, Wis., reports an immense hay crop; farmers entirely satisfied with the corn outlook; tobacco all right except for occtsional damage from cut worms; probable falling off of from ten to fifteen per cent, of the tobacco crop. On the basis of UK) per cent, the Wisconsin situation is summarized as follows: Winter wheat, 94i4; spring wheat 93; winter rye, 9S; spring rye, '.Hi; oats, 071;.; barley, 93; corn, 83; peas, 94; beans, 95; potatoes, "98; cabbage, S2; sugar beets, 90; tobacco 94; meadows, 104; pastures, 103; apples 70; small fruits, 93. Nebraska, according to the Twentieth Century Farmer, of Omaha, never lias had a stand of corn equal to that of this year, although the bottom lands have suffered from high water and hot weather. The harvest of small grains is above the average. Alfalfa, which is becoming the great hay crop west of the Missouri river, is yielding an excess of "any former year. John M. Stahl, editor of the Farmers' Call of Quincy, 111., says that the state's crops will be about the average. Mr. Stahl says that potatoes will be a good crop and that pastures are in extra good condition. Texas reports chow that cotton, while a little late, is making splendid progress and that the yield will be quite as good if not better than had the spring been earlier and the crop planted sooner. The truck and fruit crop will exceed in acreage and yield that of the last season. Oklahoma shows a corn acreage of 5.W0.000 and the yield is estimated at 13O.OO0.000 bushels. The cotton crop is estimated at S30.000 to 1,000,OOO bales, the oat crop will be twentyfive per cent above last year, and the two alfalfa crops have been satisfactory. The Michigan Farmer reports hay crop put away in fine condition, and the condition of growing crops is ninety or above in practically every case. The National Fruit Grower, of St. Joseph, Mich., which is the fruit authority, reports as follows: "The principal crops among our readers, of course, are apples, peaches, pears. and grapes. At the present time the apple crop looks like "about fifty-five to fifty-seven per cent of a crop. against forty-four in 1907. Peaches sixty-five to sixty-nine, as against thirty-five in 1907, pear crop about the same figures as peaches, grapes show up about eighty-six to eighty-seven per cent, as against eighty-four in 1907. The general conditions are prosperous, there being of course, some localities where special conditions have arisen that have been hurtful, but take the country throughout, there is no doubt that fruit growers are in a prosperous condition." Montana reports they have the start for record crops, wheat being at lest

fifty per cent, above the average. The same tale is brought from the Pacific coast, where all the states say the general run of agricultural products will bring in thousands of dollars more than they did last year. In New England the hay harvest was a fine growth. While the potato crop, of large acreage and important in these states, has generally shown good growth, an absolute prediction cannot be given until the potato crop is really made. Apples show fair promise. Specialties like onions, tobacco and cranberries tre showing up well. Virginia's wheat has made more than an average crop, and oats under unfavorable condition may show up poorly in some localities. Cotton will not be quite as large a crop as last year. Tobacco, which is one of the greatest items, will be a larger crop than has been raised in several years. From Kentucky the Inland Farmer says there will be $7OO,O0O,(MX realized on the cotton and tobacco crops. They have the largest blue grass seed crop ever gathered. Hemp is doing well, with exceptional crops of wheat, rye and barley. Reports Show Illicit Distilling In Alabama Is in Practice. STILLS ARE DESTROYED. Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 22. According to a report given out from the office of the internal revenue collector for Alabama, moonshining in this state has increased 71 4-10 per cent since prohibition has been on in the majority of the countries. Deputy collectors are now working hard and destroying more illicit distilleries than for. several years. The manufacture of liquor in the mountains and elsewhere has again become so profitable, it is stated by the officials in the collector's office, that men are-taking more of a chance than ever before. MOTORISTS SEEM MUCHJNCOURAGEO England Will Establish Commission of roads. London, Aug. 22. British motorists who have been hoping for several years that the government of their country would establish a central highway department on much the same plan followed in France ' are much encouraged over the fact that chancellor of the exchequer Asquith is seriously considering their plan, which was advocated by the members of the royal commission on motoring.

Standing Wheat Converted Into Biscuits Within Twenty-two Minutes. STAGES OF OPERATION. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 22. Biscuits made from flour, of which the plump heads of grain nodded lazily in the morning sun 22 minutes before, is a performance recorded at Waitsburg, Wash. It is believed to be a world's record. The wheat was cut on a hillside farm, owned by N. R Atkinson. The various stages of operation of converting standing grain into biscuits and the time follows: 9:03 Ripe wheat standing in the field. 9:04 First head clipped from th? straw by the heading machine. 9:08 Grain started into the cylinderof the threshing machine. 9:11 Four sacks threshed, sacked, sewed and loaded onto automobile. 9:14 Grain received at mill, two miles from field, weighed and dropped Into the receiving hopper. 9:19 First flour appeared at packer, having traveled 640 feet in the machinery. A. Beck, baker, began mixing flour, baking powder and water into dough. 9:21 Molded dough in pans placed into oven. 9:23 Two sacks of flour ground, sacked and sewed, ready for market. 9:26 Biscuits taken from the oven, buttered and distributed among witnesses. OPERATES BY TELEPHONE. Chicago, Aug. 22. The Illinois Central is operating 34 miles of its line by telephone at present and has 502 miles more fully equipped for telephone operation. It appears to be only a question of time when on many if not all railroads the telegraph operator will cease to be much of a factor.
