MUNYON'S WORK
TALK OF CITY
Big Success Shown by Number
of Callers.
Local Man Tells San Francisco Head
quarters of Remarkable Relief
From Rheumatism.
The apparent success which Profes
sor James M. Munyon, the world
famous health authority, has been
meeting in San Francisco has started
much discussion. The continuous
stream of callers has kept Dr. Mun
yon'a expert representatives busy
every day for several weeks at the
main store of the Owl Drug company,
San Francisco, where he has estab
lished headquarters for meeting the
people.
Munyon's following seems to be
enormous. Those who believe in his
theories seem to think he possesses the
most marvelous powers for the heal
ing of all sorts of diseases. Munyon,
himsef, laughs at this. He says:
"The hundreds of cures which you
are hearing about every day in San
Francisco are not in any way due to
my personal skill. It is my remedies,
which represent the combined brains
of the greatest medical specialists
science has ever known, that is doing
the work. I have paid thousands of
dollars for a single formula and the
exclusive right to manufacture it. I
have paid tens of thousands of dollars
for others ft my various forms of
treatment. That is why I get such
remarkable results. I have simply
bought the best products of the best
brains in the world and placed this
knowledge within the reach of the
general public."
Among Munyon's callers yesterday
were many who were enthusiastic in
their praise of the man. One of these
said: "For six years I suffered from
rheumatism. My arms and legs were
afflicted so badly that I could hardly
work, and I could not raise my arm to
my head. The pain was most severe
in the back, however, and I was in
perfect torture. I tried in many
ways to get cured, or even to secure
temporary relief, but nothing seemed
to help me until I was persuaded by
a friend to try Munyon's Uric Acid
course. It was the most marvelously
acting remedy I ever saw, within a
week the pain had most gone and in
side of a month I considered myself
entirely cured. I can now go out in
the worst weather cold, or wet or
anything else, and I have not felt any
' suspicion of a return of the disease.
I think that every person who has
rheumatism and does not take 'the
Uric Acid course is making a great
mistake."

HEN Berlin was In festive
array to celebrate the two
hundredth anniversary of
the Prussian monarchy, It
was an occasion possessing
1 very special appeal for Kaiser WU
tielm II., whose title to third German
amperor consecrated the supremacy
f Prussia among the German states.
But In the midst of the festivities
came the news of Queen Victoria's
illness and the emperor William broke
iff all the celebrations to hurry over
to the bedslre of bis royal grandmoth
er. The Boer war was still to drag
sn for another weary year and longer,
and everywhere In Germany there was
Hostile feeling against Great Britain;
there had been many and bitter dif
ferences between the courts of St
James and the palace at Potsdam. But
the promptness and spontaneity of
the kaiser's sympathy, the simple dig
nity with which he shared Britian's
mourning effected a sudden change
j In English feeling toward him. He
bad been regarded In England
'with respect for the continually ln-
:reased prosperity of Germany under
bis rule, mingled with some mistrust
of his possible ambitions, and with
curiosity as the most striking and
enigmatic figure In European politics.
But now English sentiment responded
to the kaiser's action. It became
warmer and friendlier; distrust of his
Impulsive and mercurial nature grad
ually changed Into conviction of his
generosity and good feeling, and now
there Is none among King George's
guests who receive a sincerer wel
come.
Not even his unique position In Eu
rope nor his close' relation with the
Brl(ish royal house account for the
Interest taken In England In the kais
er's personality. No one is ever bored
by the kaiser; It Is Impossible for him
to be dull. No figure In Europe gives
rise to so much speculation, to so
many differing opinions. After over
20 years of much speechmaklng, of a
Bill and His Watch.
"BUI, can you give me the correct
time?" says one of Bill's friends.
"Sure," says Bill, dragging out his
watch. "My watch was Just 'leven
seconds slow at twenty minutes of 4
day before yesterday afternoon, and I
don't believed it's varied more than a
quarter of a second since. It's now
twenty-two minutes and seven sec
onds past 5."
"Thanks, old man," says Bill's
friend, who then drops his own watch
into his pocket and goes on his way.
Really he wasn't so, particular
about knowing the time himself as de
sirous of giving pleasure to Bill, for
be knows that Bill Is one of the few
million men In the world who think
each that his watch Is'a wonder and
who feel themselves flattered when
.heir friends ask them for the cor
ed time.

Kaiser a Hard Worker.
A curious Journalist once motored
to a railway crossing some way down
the line to catch a glimpse of the em
peror, who had been attending a gala
performance of opera in one of the
smaller German capitals. The saloon
was brilliantly lighted, the blinds
drawn up; and there was the emperor
writing at his desk as diligently as
the humblest journalist
It was typical of his life. The out
sider will take extraordinary pains
to secure a glimpse of the kaiser, but
he gleans little except an Increased
sense of the hard work entailed by
modern kingship. Everybody knows
the details of his everyday life.. He
rises atv 6:38'' o'clock, takes a cold
douche and breakfasts at 6:3(0 teta-a-tete
with his wife, on tea and cold
meat or perhaps eggs and bacon.
Then follows a long and strenuous
morning, spent with his secretaries,
or on the parade ground, and often
Involving more than one change of
uniform, for the emperor Is very
punctilious in these matters, and If
he Is receiving the British ambassa
dor, for Instance, will don a British
uniform. The afternoon Is spent In
learning new things from explorers
and experts of all nations, or possibly
In studio or gallery, giving artistic
Judgments much criticised In ad
vanced Berlin circles; the evening,
after an early and simple dinner, Is
given to his family, or to the theater.
To one man the kaiser Is a lover of
peace, to another a firebrand; to one
a survival from medieval Markgrafs
of Brandenburg; to another the typ
ical head of the most go-ahead mod
ern industrial state in Europe; to one
the Incarnation of Prussian etiquette
and the military caste, to another the
gayest and most affable of German
gentlemen.
In proof. We quote his own words:
.'Pretty soon after I got Into bed,
my wife said:
" 'Why, husband, what Is the matter
with you? You act so strangely.'
"'There Is nothing the matter with
me,' said I; 'nothing at all.'
" 'I'm sure there Is,' she said; 'you
don't act natural at all. Shall I get
up and get something for you?' -
"And she got up, lighted a candle,
and came to the bedside to look at me,
shading the light with her hand.
'"I knew there was something
strange about you,' she said. 'Why,
you are sober?'
"Now, this is a fact, and my wife
will swear to It. So don't you slander
me any more by saying I haven't been
to bed sober in six months, 'cause I
have."

liable, and the man now enjoys his
new-found reputation. Boston Herald.
India's Toll Paid to Wild Animals.

Th truth seems to be that he Is all
these things and many others with
equal conviction and energy on oc
casion. Some of the Incongruities dis
appear on examination. His speeches
mislead the English reader who goes
to them armed with a British concep
tion of German stolidity and common
sense. The German is not afraid of
poetry and sentiment; nor even of
high-flown metaphor on the ordinary
occasions of life. So when the Ger
man emperor chirstens a battleship
there Is no reason for him to confine
himself to dreary commonplace.
"Springing from the old German
sagas are the names of ships be
longing to thy class. Therefore shalt
thou likewise recall to us the gray
past of our ancestors and the puis
sant deity whom our Germanic fore
fathers in their Ignorance supplicated
and worshipped, when the battles of
the north were fought on the polar
seas, and death and ruin carried into
the land of the enemy The potent
name of the name of this great deity
thou shalt bear. I christen thee with
the name of Aeglr." An imaginative
flight of this kind in christening a bat
tleship stirs and pleases German
patriotic feeling, nor does it seem to
the average German Incongruous with
more practical qualities. Every Ger
man knows that the kaiser Is a good
technical expert In matters relating to
the navy. Sir Edward J. Reed said he
possessed "a perfect farseeing pene
tration and a more thorough Informa
tion than either his own technical
minister of myself possessed, and this
knowledge had been gained by experi
ence In a practical and trustworthy
way."
"The Divine-Right" Theory.
Profound conviction In the divine
right of the house of Hohenzollern
makes the kaiser live up to the spec
tacular conception of the kingship
which was reflected In the pesudo
mediaevallsm of his favorite drama
tist, the late Ernst von Wlldenbrucb;
it was not in the kaiser's case inconv
patible with a very modern practical
ability.' Himself a successful manu
facturer and a model farmer, the kais
er takes the keenest Interest In Im
provements in Industrial processes, In
the organization of industry and In
legislation for the security and pro
tection of the workers.
Every ' one who has lived in Ger
many knows the excluslveness of mil
itary circles, but the emperor who Is
the feudal chief of the Prussian aris
tocracy, numbers among his intimates
some of the captains of German In
dustry. His affection for the late Herr
Krupp Is well known and he ad
dresses with the familiar thee and
thou of ordinary life Herr Wormann,
the great Hamburg ship owner, and
Herr Ballin, the head of the Hamburg
American line. Herr Ballin. moreover,
Is of Jewish descent. The emperor
knows every ship building yard on the
coast
He takes his metier of Landesvater
and of monarch very seriously and if
Prussian tradition involves a certain
aloofness absent from the Intercourse
between the English court and the
English people the difference Is not
fundamental. ,-The German people
recognize behind the parade and mag
nlflcance of Potsdam a home life of
exceptional brightness and simplicity,
distinguished from the life of the or
dinary German household most of all
by the unceasing and untiring In
dustry of its head, for whom no task
seems too arduous, no detail too
