We/Wiro rinwV Woman and Burglar Ba ttle on Edge of Roof While Crowd Watches NEW YORK, N. Y.—“ Treat ’em rough’’ is Mrs. Edith Sellinger’s way of handling alleged burglars, as you might have guessed if you had ob served John Faber when he was ar raigned in the Morrisania police police court. Mrs. Sellinger lives in the Bronx, and is the wife of Capt. Michael Sellinger of Hook and Lad der No. 5. About 500 persons saw her defeat the man in a lively battle on a roof. - Mrs. Sellinger told the police that when she was about to enter her apartment on the second floor, she heard a grating sound and then saw a large man attempting to jimmy open the door of a neighbor’s apart ment. “What are you doing?” Mrs. Sel linger asked. The man looked uj> and said, “That’s none of you d d bus iness.” When she started toward him, Mrs. Sellinger said, the man ran up three flights of stairs to the roof, closely followed by her. The man grabbed hold of her shoulders and a struggle began. Crowd Gathers in Street Seeing the intruder was forcing her to the edge of the roof, Mrs. hIMbIW BBW i I ®P- = , ""* •S’ » / I ;■ 8?5 aOjgaMnyJ|@Mg tz -v “■ <jL2ylret I r ’I I —when “delicious and re- I freshing” mean the most.

Augusta, Ga. —"Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the best medicine I have ever taken for nervous indigestion and stomach trouble, an ailment I have been suffering with for about twenty years, during which time I doctored and took medicine but did not get relief. At times I would suffer dreadfully, my food would sour on my stomach, gas would form and I would be distressed and nervous. I was a com plete nervous wreck,-so bad that I could hardly stand on my feet when a lady advised me to take the ‘Golden Medical Discovery.’ I took three bottles and it has given me wonderful relief. I can eat anything I wish and not feel any bad effects. lam in better health now than for a long time.”—Mrs. Mattie Hilton, No. 1810 Ellis Street. * THE ATLANTA TKI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. Sellinger screamed, attracting per sons in the street. A crowd gathered and when Mrs. Sellinger and heiXj opponent reached the edge of the roof, a call was sent for the police. Detectives Myer, Webbenhouse and Heghey were sent in an automobile and a record dash to the roof was made. When they reached it they found Mrs. Sellinger gasping for breath, but still holding on to the intruder. The detectives went to his street address and in a room occupied by Faber found two big suitcases in which were clothing, furs and mono grammed silverware. Mrs. Sellinger, whose weight is T4O pounds, was complimented by the detectives and told that her bravery had resulted in a "splendid catch.” Halfbreeds and Purebred After careful calculation W. T. Kilby, a North Carolina live stock owner, decided to sell two half-breed bulls and to replace them with one pure-bred. The United States de partment of agriculture, which re cently enrolled this farmer in the “Better Sires—Better Stock” move ment, approved his judgment.

Questions Answered 1. Question. —What causes light ning? 1. ' Answer—Lightning is a brill iant flash of light between clouds or between a cloud and the earth. Ben jamin Franklin proved this to be an enormous electrical discharge. The length of such a flash may be seen several miles. When the flashes are between the lower clouds and the earth, they are comparatively nar row and brilliant and are accompa nied by thunder. When they take place in the upper cloud region, they become more effuse and thunder is rarely heard. Thunder is explained by the fact that the electric dis charge heats the air and the vapor lying in its path to a high tenrpera ture, causing a violent expansion. A steep compression, wage or noise, fol lows. 2. Question—Of the soldiers who take up some kind of vocational training, how many complete their courses? 2.

Question—What Is an orl- flamme? 3. Answer—This was the ancient banner of St. Denis, and early French kings were accustomed on setting ou* for battle to receive it from the Ab bot of St. Denis to be carried before them as a sacred and royal ensign. It is used, therefore, in literature as a standard or ensign in battle. 4. Question —Can liquid air be seen? 4. Answer—Liquid air is visible, having the appearance of water with a trace of blueing in it. It cannot be kept longer - than a day or two, and should be placed in a Dewer bulb (thermos bottle) packed in heavy felt or other poor-conducting mate- Cat Remains in Tree Five Days; Its Wailings Attract Attention NEW YORK, N. Y.—A squirrel de scended from a tall oak tree on a vacant lot In Brooklyn. An anony mous cat. meandering gloomily along, caught sight of the squirrel just as the squirrel saw the feline. The squirrel paused for the briefest in stant, and did what all squirrels do in moments of stress. It assumed a sitting posture. Having arrived at the definite con clusion that the onrushing Maltese harbored malicious intent, the squir rel chattered something that sounded like: "This is no place for little Willie,” and, turning tail, scampered upward and onward into the wilder ness of oak branches whence it had come. Cat in lively Pursuit The cat, having by this time en tered into the chase with great zest and zeal, started up the tree its quarry. It was. an unwise move, but it was taken on the impulse of the moment, and, as it transpired, was not the result of the cat’s more mature judgment.

We thank Thee that the foundations of our civ ilization are based upon the qualities of life that He has revealed to us. Our common law, our standard of morals( our highest ideals are in Him.

Answer—The geological survey states that of the “oil in sight” which amounts to about sixty billion barrels, forty-three billion barrels may be regarded as definitely “in sight” as’ shown by actual drilling with successful results. Foreign countries are using only half as much petroleum as the United States, but have seven times as much oil in the ground. 10. Question —What is catgut? 10. Answer —This is a material employed in the manufactureujf the strings of violins, harps, guitars and other musical instruments, and also used for cords, carrying clock weights, bows for archers, and for whipcords. It is generally prepared from the intestines of sheep, rarely from those of the horse, ass or mule, and never from those of the cat. the topmost boughs of the tree, where it paused on a swaying branch long enough to chatter some tiling in the squirrel language thnt reflected strongly on the cat. Then, with a graceful leap, the squirrel vanished into ‘.he recesses of an ad joining tree. And the cat, claws outstretched, stayed where it was on the topmost bough of the oak, afraid to go back and lacking the nerve to proceed. There it swayed, out of place and unhappy, wholly incapable of enjoy ing the distinction its period of ele vation had earned it as an integral part of the wonderful skyline of Brooklyn. The afternoon wore away into eve ning. As right descended the cat registered w’ld, robust grief. It howled all right, and in the morning sleepy-eyed i.eighbors discovered the cat’s plight. Boys tried to climb the tree which is about 109 feet high, got half way up and abandoned the project. Boy Scouts got on the job and found a score of expedients unavailing. Day aft?r day k’nd-hearted folk of the neighborhood tried to evolve a feas ible plan to rescue the cat. Then the twilight would descend and the cat would start to give expression to the anguish that was convulsing its being. x , Dr. Walter Hopkins, principal of the Boys’ High school, had been an interested observer of the boys’ en deavors to rescue the cat. He came with a short ladder, which he propped against the side of the tree. Then he removed his coat. He climbed the ladder to the top-most rung, twined his legs around the tree, shinned up twenty feet to the first bough and made his way cautiously toward the top. Rescued by School Principal Beneath the tree a’ group of boys stood with an open blanket. Several feet from the top of the tree Dr. Hopkins shook the boughs. The cat weak from its long vigil, was unable to retain its grip on the bough on which it had perched five days, let go and crashed through lower branches into the blanket. 'YvA 1 the , cat ’ s nerves had been soothed and its tail had assumed its normal dimensions it drank a lot of milk and sauntered slowly away in the direction whence it came, a far wiser animal than it was five days previous. Husband Cuts Wife’s Nose With Glancing Nail PLATTVILLE, N. Y.—On a recent morning Mrs. Hobart Quill asked her husband to nail a board for her in the kitchen. Mrs. Quill produced the Doard, nails and hammer and led her husband to the kitchen. The board w as Placed in position, Mrs. Quill holding one end of it, according to a report of the affair.

Egyptians of Thousand Years Ago Found W ays to Punish Profiteers The profiteer, brazen, shameless, greedy and soulless, has a genealogy that extends back forty or more gen erations. The dust of the ages has been brushed aside, and there is found written the nefarious practices of the ancient family of which there is such a host of modern progeny. The record was exhumed by Ralph A. Graves, of the National Geographic society, and" the story reveals that the problem of 30-cent sugar is not with out precedent. The Nile was low in 967 A. D., says the record of an early profiteer’s dynasty. The venerable stream did not bring down its fertile deposits, and in the next year there was a fam ine that swept away 600,000 persons in the vicinity of the city of Fustat. G’awhar, a Mohammedan Joseph or his time, founded a new city, the Cairo of today, a short distance from the stricken town, and immediately organized relief measures. Many ships laden with grain came to the port, yet the price of bread still re mained high. But they had effective ways of do ing things in those old days. G’awhar lost his patience with persuasive methods, and ordered his soldiers to seize all the millers and grain deal ers. In the market place the mer chants were heartily flogged while the people watched with a satisfac- Negro Wandered 24 Years In Africa; Has Returned The wierd wanderings of Petet Snow as he told them to immigra tion officials at Ellis Island won him admittance ito the United States as a citizen. I Having arrived as a cook on the steamer’ Tuckanuck, he sought to enter the country with the declara tion that he was a native of Georgia. He could not prove this, but nar rated his tale of ocean and African roamings in such good American “Southern” dialect that without ma terial proof of his citizenship he was admitted. Snow said that “something about 1895” he had shipped as a cook from Savannah aboard the ship Ho say, which carried negroes back to Africa. He said he spent “about twenty-four years in Africa,” he landed in Monrovia, soon afterwards he was robbed and “dead broke,” in a land of black strangers, he began wandering. He worked intermittenly on “what they called farms,” penetrating into some of the “darkest corners ?of Africa.” He said he “just missed” Theodore Roosevelt when the latter left a certain little town on one of his African hunting expeditions. Finally, Snow said, he was rescued by British missionaries, for whom he had worked four years. Map Wears Tin Corset NEW/YORK. —lnstead of setting a new fashion in men’s attire, Ernest Decuti, an upholsterer, was sent to Bellevue for observation when he ap peared in the special sessions court decked out in a crude home-made corset of wood and tin—mostly tin. He was charged with violating the anti-firearms act. When the bulge around his waist line was noticed he was ordered searched and the wood and tin con traption found. Decuti told the court that he had been threatened in blackmail letters and that he had fashioned the corset to p? otject himself.

BLOOD DEVITALIZED NEEDS IRON TO IT If Your Blood Needs Iron, Revitalize It and Build Up Your System With Ziron, the New Iron Tonic, Which Should Energize Your System to Vigorous, Red-Blooded, Activity. Strong, energetic people, well-provided with blood, overflowing with high spirits, and with zest and joy in life that is irresistible, are the peo ple who are well prepared against disease, whose blood is adequately supplied with iron. If you are below par, if you feel weary and worn and disheartened, lack interest in your work, or suffer from headaches, indigestion, lack of appetite, your blood probably lacks Iron. Ziron, the new iron tonic, is peculiarly adapted to the treatment of such conditions. It will put iron into your blood, and by its mild, strengthening, tonic effect, will help to restore the entire system to health. Ziron contains no alcohol, is free from habit-forming drugs, is pleasant to take, and is recommended to young and old. Mr. J. Wesley Bell, of Manchester, Tenn., writes: “Some time back I was in poor heajth. My skin was flabby; I felt weak, worn out, didn’t feel like eating, and didn’t care whether it was meal time or not. I wa’s over-worked, nervous and felt depressed. I knew I must do some thing for myself or I would have a spell of sickness. I decided to try Ziron, as I had heard of it as a splendid tonic. I sent for a bottle and began taking it. Right at first 1 didn’t feel so well, but when near ly a bottle was taken, 1 began to feel altogether different. I ate, slept and began to pick up. It helped me wonderfully. My strength came back. I took three bottles and consider it money well spent. It certainly is splendid.” SPECIAL OFFER: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggist’s and give it a fair trial, according to directions on the bottle. If after using up one bottle, you find it has not benefited you, take it back to the druggist and he will refund what you paid him for it. We repay him, so there is no reason why he should not repay you. This offer only applies to the first trial bottle.—(Advt.)
