NEW YORK, Feb. 19. Cases In which presents of jewelry have been made to girls of Ziegfeld's "Follies' are sufficiently numerous and well au thenticated as to excite little remark. But when a woman from Boston fairly thrusts a diamond monocle upon a young Ziegfeld actor, who is visited promptly by a lawyer and detective, representing the generous one's hus band, we have something else. The mystery of the diamond monocle is apparently bothering Barnard Gran ville. Let him tell the story in his own way: "One night a week ago I was stopped by two girls, who asked me to meet . acquaintance. I was introduced to three men and three women, one of whom was a Mrs. Inman, of Boston. I observed that she wore a monocle, whose extension rim was set closely with small diamonds. The ornament was rather gaudy and I told her so. She agreed and said she was about to break it up and have the diamonds re set. She was about to break the mon ocle on the spot when I stopped her with a gesture. " 'Madame,' said I. 'I have J800 in my pocket. Ill buy the monocle at whatever price you say is fair." " 'Take it for J3,' she said. "Well, we closed the transaction in the presence of several witnesses. Last night two men came to my dressing- room. One introduced himself as Sam uel D. Elmore, a lawyer of Boston. The other said he was a New York central office detective. They demanded the monocle, saying that Mrs. Inman's hus band had sent them to get it., ' I met them by appointment. They renewed the demand for the monocle. and I continued to insist on some word from Mrs. Inman. Finally they called up Mr. Inman, at Boston, and I talked over the telephone to him. He seemed angry. I ended the whole business by refusing to give up the monocle with out a written request or without a statement made before a notary public that the Individual who sold me the monocle desired its return."

DEAF NOW TOSEE SOUNDS Instrument Is Said to Make Speech and Music Perceivable. BOMBAY. India. Feb. 19. It has been announced in Lahore that a Professor Albe, of that city, has invented an in strument called a "phonoscope." This instrument enables the totally deaf to perceive sounds, such as speech and music, by means of the eye. Iowa has nine cities under commission uvrnnmn Sets of Apparatus Sent to Europe Use of Serum Supplemented by Injection Epsom Salts and Artificial Respiration. NEW YORK. Feb. 25. Announcement was made today on behalf of the Rock efeller Institute of the invention of an apparatus and the discovery of a new method of treatment, both designed to reduce the mortality from tetanus among soldiers wounded on European battlefields. Twenty-five sets of apparatus, it was said, had already been sent to Lurop bv the institute and patents to the in vention had been thrown open, so that whoever wished might manufacture and use the apparatus. The institute's investigators have found, it was said, that most of th deaths among wounded men are due to tetanus and that the present method of treating tetanus has certain draw backs. Method Expected to Save Lives. An injection of a solution contain ing epsom salts into the membranes of the spinal cord is a part of the meth od of treatment, it is announced. To Dr. F. J. Metszer, of the institute credit is given for the new method. The belief is expressed that with this method of treatment and the use of the new apparatus which is designed to aid in artificial respiration many more lives will be saved. The announcement said that after an exhaustive investigation of conditions of wounded troops in Europe, the Rock efeller Institute for Medical Research had determined that lockjaw was the greatest scourge of the war. Tetanu germs thrive in the highly-cultivated sou of Europe, the investigators found The institute said that there was only one known remedy for lockjaw and that was the injection of a prophylactic dose of anti-tetanus serum. Soldiers had been taught to administer the serum in the trenches when surgeons could not reach wounded men quickly enough. Danger Partly Overcome. Almost invariably, the investigators found, the disease was fatal, the great er number of fatalities being caused by violent convulsions. The treatment by serum nas only Deen moaeraieiy successful, it was said. Mr. Metzer, after discovering that the injection of a solution of epsom salts would produce a complete relax ation of the muscles for several hours, or long enough for the serum to take effect, found that the relaxation in many cases was so complete as to cause the muscles of respiration to cease their functions. It was to elimi nate this danger that lie devised the artificial respiration apparatus, which produces pharangeal insufflation.' The apparatus is described aa being email enough, to carry in a suitcase. IS YOUR DAUGHTER PALE? Does she inherit a delicate organiza tion from you? The anemia of young girls may be Inherited or it may be caused by bad air, lack of proper food, insufficient out-of-door exercise, hasty and irregular eating and not enough rest and sleep. It comes on gradually, beginning with languor, indisposition to mental or bodily exertion, irritability and a feeling of fatigue. Later comes palpi tation of the heart and headache. In a majority of cases constipation is pres ent. Often the patient craves unusual things to eat, such as starch or chalk. There may be no loss of flesh but the complexion takes on a greenish-yellow pallor. There is no need to worry In a case of this kind. The treatment is easy and simple. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, non-alcoholic and free from any harm ful drug, are just the tonic to remedy this condition. Improvement begins with the first dose. As the blood is made rich and red the peculiar pallor leaves the face, strength and activity gradually return and if the treatment Is continued until the last symptom disappears the danger of relapse is slight. A booklet, "Building Up the Blood1 which tells all about this treatment. will be sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
