He Was a Chesterfield, and His Four Daughters, Wife and Son Were So Polite to the Trades- men Who Trusted Them. Dressed tn stripes, his white beard haved, hie hair cut short, an old man foimed the “lock-step brigade’ in the teuched his convict cap politely, bowed with a drawing-room grace and fell in behind the felon whose step he was to nd whose side he was to hold on the way into the prison breakfast. ‘Who 1s this old man?" the prison gvards ask. “Call him by almost any name,” they say, “and it will fit, because he hag had many names, and when rent was due, when grocery bills, bills from the butcher, the fagiet, the jeweller, the landlord, the carriage eompany or what not fell due he moved, and when he moved ft is , @orded that he changed his name." The old man can credit his strived lothes and his six months’ sentence to William H. Driscoll, proprietor of Young's| Hotel, at Port Chester, N. Y., to whom he and his interoating family, 4 @onsisting of a wife, a son, four most interesting daughters and a grandchild, owed $70. Lt 1s said that he would have escaped prosecution had this bee! ail he owed, but the Retall Dealer: Protective Association, of New York, have been after this old man and his woll-mannered and expesive family for Pome time past, and they are seeking revenge.

They liked the spot, not because it was all profit to sell S00ds, but because there the dealers met their brethren in trade, and their fath- ers and fathers’ fathers had done the same before them. There was an ances- trak pride attached to the market which time and locality could not efface. Instead of seeking other marts tor thelr products, the flower and plant- stowers from all over Greater New York and from remote places in New Jersey continued to go to old Clinton Market until it beoame the recognized none and plant centre of the metrop- olis. - When it was decided to destroy the old market several florists decided to co- operate in @ move for seourii ereo- ton of ‘a permanent fowes eae Even while they discussed the project 1 city's despoilers came along and lew elled the roof of the market place to the grouno.

The city has agreed tollet them have the plot for three months for a rental of $1,000, and hes through the Mayor and the Comptroller, to take more than a pass- ing interest in the further project of erecting a permanent flower mart if at the end of three months the “experl- ment” ts shown to be pr asa permanent feature.

As an off- t, It is Intended that the Il pay the city $100 a year for the rental of each stand. There will be 260 stands, which will bring in an annual rental of $25,000. In addition, the rentul of the proposed restaurant annex will amount to $1,200, and there will also he & revenue from the batha. Thus the city’s investment, the pro- Jectors declare, will pay at least 8 per cent. Interest. ‘The resolution contemplating building of the market has already becn placed before the Board of Extimate, and at the expiration of three months the Comptroller will-make his report. Alderman Doull has been very active in bringing about the present condition of affairs relative to the flower market, and he has been ably aasisted by Al an Higgins.

A public hearing was held in the district for the purpose of giving the residents a chance to signify their approval or disapproval. The Commissioner was on hand with argument, Bo were nearly al} tne residents, so Interested were thev tn the future of the old market. Alderman Doull made answer argument, taking a e#tand against the stable as in favor of the flower market. When the vote wi recorded it war found that not a single voice was raised favoring the stable plan. Since then the flower market idea has taken root and grown steadily.

CTPNCE found some time ago that the sun’s rays were germ-festroying—that the deadly little microbes of dis- ease which foed on us curl up and die fm bright sunlight. That is why ra- dium and'the X-ray, which fs really concentrated sunlight, when applied to the treatment of cancer of the skin and chronic eczema and other dls- eases of germ origin, have been so successful in caring these diseases,” said Dr. R. V. Pieros when inte: viewed by our reporter at Buffalo, N. Y. “For many years we have been experimenting with the different forms of electricity here at our In- valide’ Hotel and Surgical Institute and been very successful in curing the worst cases of skin diseaves. We are making progress {n the aciences every day—we are learning more about the body Mm health and disease. For instance, there are the human- rays, or N-rays found in the body. The N-rays from the humen hand will make an {mpresston on a photo- graphic plate in absolute darkness. when we are in vigorous health we emit vast quantities of N-rays, and when We grow {Tl they fade awny un- til we die. ATI these Interesting dis- coveries potnt to the conclusion that sunll| {s most important to onr health. We undoubtedly absorb sun- light more or less—and give St off. Not only {s it good for man to be in the sunshine and good air a part of the time, but I belfeve that the closer we observe nature's laws and live simple Hives the stronger we are. ‘When you can't Iive out doors t sleeping at night with the windogs open so you get the good oxygen into your lungs for elght or nine hours. Plants ‘and vegetables absorb suni! and they are good for us when taken {nto the system. We all have heard of that terrific scourge of the sailors —‘seurvy,’ which results from their need of vegetables in their food. T believe in remedies that are made from nature’s health-giving plants.” Plants Iive by direct absorption of vitalfzing elements taken In through the roots and leaves. Man lives by absorbing vitalizing elements through the stomach, and every animal (with possibly a few exceptions) has a stomach In gome form or other. B to do this work, so vital to the ind vidual, the stomach must be in per fect working order. If the stomach ts work it must be supplied with broths | and milk and other liqufd foods, al- ready dissolved. This fs a great help in repair, but pure blood must be supplied to the organ ftself. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes pure blood and gives tone and vigor to every organ of the body. Very thin people live from hand to mouth and have little reserve for) emergencies.

If for any reason he or she is below his or her normal weight, then it is wise to look out for trouble. A gain of flesh up to a certain point means a rise in other essentials of health; the red corpuscles of the blood are in- creased and the color improved. ‘When persons find themselves losing weight they should heed the warning and pse the proper means in time be- fore disease fastens on them. The food is taken into the body at inter- but the system requires nour- shment constantly and without in- terruption. To strike a balance in the supply and demand Is the func- tion of the liver, which takes out the nourishing part of the food and stores it up till needed by the tissues. For this reason a certain degree of , | Dlumpness and roundness of the fea- tures {8 an index of good health and, on the contrary, wrinkles and pro- truding bones are an indication that etther the system is not getting enough food or that it is not being properly assimflated, and nine ohances to ten {t is the latter, the trouble being located In the stomach. A tonic alterative ts needed to digest the food. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, made up of roots and is a concentrated of nature’s health-giving plants, found in the woods and fields; of purely harmless ingredients, containing no alcohol or narcotic. For forty years it has stood the te#t of time, and stands to-day in a proud position of superiority. It works in the natural way, purifying the blood, toning up the stomach and gently sttmulating the liver and bowels to renewed ef- fort. It reaches the root of the dis- ease and stamps it out from the sys- tem, so that the patient {s cured to stay cured. The following letter is only an example of the many that are recetved daily by Dr. Pierce from grateful patients: “Our little boy, Ray M. Cronk, age five years, Is taking the ‘Golden Med- jeal Discovery,’ having had typhoid fever lsst April,” writes Mrs. L. D. Cronk, of Redfield Oswego Co. N.
