Huibert's | tather was & successtul engineer, and they lived in one of the finest |houses I town. Later, the young Dawes was to go away, become an engineer himself, become prosper- ous. Brad Hulbert was to go away, too, but not to the high profession- 1al, financial and political peaks of his friend. Paths Cross Again The paths of Charles (. Dawes and Brad Hulbert which separated when Hulbert left home at the age of 20, crossed many years later in the old Rectors’ cafe here. One had risen to power in the nation; the other was a waiter. They saw each other frequently in those Rector days. Then Brad drifted. New York saw him. He continued as a waiter until the 60’s crept upon him. Thus it caig: about that in the days when Gen- eral Dawes was presiding over the senate of the United States, Brad “The Gentleman of the Bowery."" Had Manner Brad had a manner. Though ad- versity pushed closely, Hulbert al- ways had a way with him, Trousers were always pressed, shoes shined, nails manicured, and frayed linen kept immaculate. They tell of his trolling along the Bowery, giving a dime to a beggar. He would inquire one's opinion ubout “the administra- tion at Washington,” and this always ve him the opening to remark, Charlic Dawes, you know, is a friend of mine.” 'he Bowery didn't believe him, hut was too considerate to say so. Then the aging ex-waiter proved it | by displaying a letter from Washing- ton. “It's from Charlie Dawes,” he ex- plained. “He's a friend of mine. He sent me some money. “A Friend of His” Hulirerl died last Saturday night, and the letters from Washington were found. General Dawes, who was in New York, was notified. Sunday morning a limousine drew up in front of the place where Brad Hulbert's body lay. Two men step- ped out—a secret service man, and the vice president. “It's Charlic Dawes” whispered. “A friend of hi: Gov. Smith Leaves For Biloxi, Miss. York, Nov. 14 (R—Governor E.

The change in the method of mer- | chandising many staple food articles | has reached the ice cream industry, !according to Mr. Arrigan, who said Ithe alm of the indusry now is to sell the product in packages. No ice cream sold in bulk can be 100 per cent sanitary, he added, de- | spite strenuous attempts to keep it 'so. The same product sold in pack- ages never touches a human hand until it reaches the consumer, he informed his hearers, He told some amusing incidents {in connection with the industry. |The demand for ice cream forms in fancy shapes and colors recently produced a call for lavender cream |to harmonize with the color scheme at a card party. The lavender cream was produced. Another time a man is said to have cured an attack of | laryngitis by eating ice cream. | Mr. Arrigan stated that while much credit has been given the American eagle, the American cow | produces 23 per cent of the prod- | ucts of the Amertcan farm.

Gill was on duty in lifeboat No. 6, one of the first that the crew of the Vestris attempted to launch. There were almost 30 women and children in that lifeboat, he said. “They crawled down the side of the ship to get into the lifeboat,” he had orders not to cut the falls of the boat untll she was In the wa- ter, “because, it we did, we'd all drown.” “Finally a big wave washed us overboard and flooded us. We cut the falls then and drifted away from the ship. We were flooded with ev- ery wave, tanks broke away, and the boat cap- sized, “Before that, two small children had been washed overboard.

So he wrote a prescription for a laxative to be used by his patients. The prescription for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Cald- well's Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid veg- etable remedy, intended for women. | children and elderly people, and | they need just such a mild, safc, gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin. | Under successful ~management |this prescription has proven its | worth and is now the largest selling | lquid laxative in the world.
