Washington.—~Under tense and tragle circumstances, several physi- clans and nurses in Emergency hos- pital listened to a remarkable predic- tion by a twenty-year-old Washington boy, in a mysterious subconscious state of mind, that peace in the great world’s war will be definitely and finally concluded April 20, 1923, at 6.80 p. m. This peace will come as a result of 8,800,000 American officers and sol- diers having crashed their way across the Rhine and started a last march to Berlin, having = victoriously fought thelr way over the historic stream. Final Disaster for Germans. The Germans will get a taste of final disaster before- another year has passed by being badly defeated by the allies in France, and from then on un- til peace is signed they will be almost constantly on the defensive, losing ground steadily until American man power and military science conquer the stubbornly fighting Teutons. ‘When it is all over the allies will owe the United States billlons of dollars Liltunad to-a Remarkable Prediction. loaned to them, but they will be so grateful that they will early begin to repay the debt. _ President Wilson will again have been re-elected to another term in the White. House and, aided by Taft, Roosevelt and Hughes, will have put through congress a universal training law by which every man above eight- een years of age, up to forty-five, will have to take military training. The patient was Edward R. Dean, gou of the late Dr. Julian Willis Dean, himself a distinguished Washington physician, who died in 1905. Young Dean was stricken as a child with se- vere spinal meningitls, and the father predicted that froni sixteen to twenty- one years of age the boy would be subject to convulsions. If his health was able to resist the strain until the twenty-first year the young man would become strong and robust, with keen mental development. In Care of Specialjst. The convulsions came on at sixteen and have continued, despite special medical treatment. Recently the young man was taken to Johns Hop- kins college, where the best medical talent carefully watched his condi- tion and marveled at the super- natural utterances of the patient when in an unconscious state after a con- vulsion. Under their recommendation young Dean was brought back to this city and put under the care of Dr. D. Percy Hickling, a noted specialist in brain and nervous disorders. Accompanied by a member of his family the young man was on his way to Doctor Hickling's office when at- tacked by the nervous disorder that troubles him. He was promptly taken to Emergency hospital and given tem- porary treatment. Following the con- vulsion he remained in an unconscious state for two hours, during which, In the most beautiful language Imagin- able, he talked wonderfully on subjects presumably far removed from - the thoughts of a boy of that age under normal conditions. Physicians and nurses, amazed at the language and predictions, stood at his bedside without asking questions or prompting him in any way. They had never seen or heard of a similar case. . _ The patient not only made the pre- dlctions quotpd] going into details, but talked fluently in German, Italian and Latin. He never studied or read any of these languages, being compelled to leave school when in the eighth grade. ‘When again in normal mind young Dean remembered nothing of what he had sald, and the subjects seemed to be far from his thoughts, MASKED | GOLD By JOHN HARVEY CURTIS (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) Lucky Levi Brill returned from the Alaska gold fields with a fortune, and it was represented not by drafts or bank notes, but by the real thing— gold. * They called him “lucky” be- cause he was one of the first in the Nome ploneer rush to make ‘“a ten strike.” He was old, unhandsome, but inno- cent of gulle as a schoolboy. “I've gone through a heap to get in two years what most yoeg speng g lifetime over,” he announced. “Now I'm go- ing to enjoy It rationally. First to build a home, then to find a wife, and a little love, a little farming and lots of comfort, and I'm fixed for life.” But Brill, good natured and kindly as he was, could not prevail on any mald or widow of the town to link her destiny with an uncouth man long past middle age. Then he went abroad into new fields to prospect for the helpmeet he felt to be essentlal to his plan of life. “Rank, wild crazy over her, and no wonder!” commented a visitor to the city who had seen Miss Helena Drury, whom the daily prints announced was soon to become the “bride of the mil- lionaire miner, Levi Brill.” The newspaper, too, told of the princely antenuptial gifts Brill had given 'his flancee, of the mansion he had started to build in his native town. Her beau- | ty was manifest to all, for the pride and pleasure of Brill was to show his friends a superb photograph of a be- wilderingly beautiful woman, and finally it was reproduced In the local paper. One morning early Levi Brill -alight- ed from the city train, his face color- less, his eyes faded and dim, his gait unsteady. He had grown 20 years older in a single day. He spoke to no one, but repaired to the half-finished mansion that was never to be com- pleted. He shut himself out from all human companlonship, and soon the solution of the mystery was public property. Almost upon her wedding eve the perfidious Helena Drury had eloped with the man she really loved. Thenceforth Levi Brill hated all wom- ankind. He checked the completion of the maunsion, making habitable only a few rooms in one wing. He barely spoke to men acquaintances, never to a woman, and when some girl, bright and lively, neared him he would cross the street to avold her. When he came back to the house ot desolation Brill went to a room where were stored the mementoes of his first, last and only love venture. He had told nobody, but he had prepared a great surprise to bedeck the boudoir when Helena became his wife. Brill had gone to a famous plastic artist in the city and had arranged to have nearly all the gold in its natural state he possessed made Into a life-size bust of the woman he loved. It was a marvelously natural presentment of ‘the false but beautiful creature who had deceived him. Brill removed the bust from the pedestal upon which, covered with tin- selled silk, it rested, and bore it to the room which thereafter he allowed no one to enter save himself. He got a pail of black paint and covered the bust with its mourning blackness, a grewsome memento of the one fatal romance of his life. Two years went on and Brill had dissipated most of his fortune. He became a preternaturally old-looking man. He had frequent spells of ill- ness, but would allow no one but men hired from the village to nurse him. Then one day fate cast In his way a girl of about twenty who was destined to care for him for years to come, She was Wanda Rolfe, 2 poor, but refined village girl, the daughter of a music teacher who had just died. Brill had set traps and spring guns about the place to scare away tramps. Van- da had crossed the garden to receive on one side of her face a powder dis- charge that marred her beauty. It was beauty that Levi Brill now abhorred. To make up to the girl for her afflic- tion, he offered her a home for life and she accepted. He was always mo- rose and sullen, but he cared for her respectably and practically adopted her. Half a mile away from the place lived a widow, a Mrs. Graves. Her son, a young man of twenty-five, had been blind from his birth, but had be- come an apt musician, and his patient, pleasing face and manners had made him a favorite with all the village. More than with all others, his gentle, lovable nature had made an impres- sion on Wanda. Together they wan- dered through the wildwood until af- fection blossomed forth strong and lasting. - Little by little the means of Levl Brill dwindled. The house was placed under foreclosure, Wanda economized and became a veritable treasure to Brill. One day he was taken ill, the next day he dled. “For you, Wanda,” he gasped with dying breath, “all that is in my little room, all that is left!” Wanda gave up the house. It was when they were removing the odd mass of hoarded possessions of the past that two of the movers marveled at the welght of a blackened and dust-cov- ered bust. “It must be lead !” puffed and panted one of them, and as such it was con- veyed to Wanda’s home, its sterling worth fated to be discovered shortly, the legacy of the old miner to a faith- ful helper who now became the happy wife of Arnold Graves.

Headache of any kind, is caused by auto-intoxication—which means self- poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the that it congests in the smaller ar- teries and veins of the head produc- ing violent, throbbing pain and dis- tress, called headache. You become nervous, despondent, sick, feverish and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you re- sort to acetanilide, aspirin or the bro- mides which temporarily relieve -but do not rid the blood of these irritat- ing toxins. A glass of hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate inf. it,-drank before breakfast for awhile, will not only wash these poisons from your system and cure you of head- ache but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal. | Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and almost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. If you aren’t feeling your best, if tongue is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath or have colds, indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos- phated hot water cure to rid your system of toxins and poisons. Results are quick and it is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any headache or know a miserable moment. NOTICE TO COAL PURCHASERS Notice has been given several times through the newspapers to have coal bins ready to receive coal which has been ordered, and to be prepared to pay for the coal when it is de- livered. g Coal is now being received and de- .| livered and much trouble is being ex- perienced and much unnecessary time lost by reason of many who have ordered coal not being prepared to receive their coal when it arrived. It is almost impossible to get labor to handle coal at the present time and unless full co-operation is given between consumer and dealer to pre- vent this wastage of time and labor it will become necessary for the dealers to sell coal at their bins and require the consumer to be responsi- ble for the delivery of same to their houses. If you have a woodpile in the way or the coal bin filled with boxes, boards or other material, get it out of the way so that when the coal is delivered it may be unloaded without any loss of time. This must posi- tively be done or you may have to suffer from the cold this winter. The fuel dealers are expected to receive their winter’s supply of fuel during the next two months and if this is to be done it is necessary that the consumer make room for it in his bins without delay. ) With regard to the payment of the coal there is this to be remembered: The Fuel Administration has fixed the price of coal at the dealers’ bins and at your bins and it has been fixed on the basis of a cash price. Therefore, it must be cash. If you wish to know just what your coal will cost call up the office of the dealer with whom you have placed your order and you will be told just how much money you will need to pay your coal bill. And “cash” does not mean tomor- row or the day after. It means when the coal is delivered at the house or at the office before delivery. ST.
