Collins, who live at the corner of Herklmer and Jasper streets, yesterday morning ate a number of strychnine pills and for several hous afterward the life of the little fellow hung by a thread so slender that It wag expected to snap at any moment Drs. H. M. Wood and B. J.

Brown labored with the little fellow, without hope at times, but their efforts were finally and he was pulled past the danger point. NATURE UNKNOWN. The active elements of the pills were strychnine and belladonna. It Is not known how many the child ate but Mrs Collins found him with the box In his band and took one of the pills out of ills-mouth. This one if it had been swallowed would certainly have made the dose fatal.

WERE KEPT HIDDEN The pills were kept In a sort of cabinet entirely out of reach of the child and it is not known positively how he got hold of the box. Mr. and Mrs Collins inspect that some of the older children In getting something from the cabinet removed the pill box and left it In reach of the baby. Neither was It known that the pills were poison. The 4box was not labeled poison, neither was the nature of the drugs indicated.

From size of the prescribed dose It was that the pills were dangerous and for this reason the parents had carefully kept them out of reach of the little fellow. Indeed, the case of the Mercer child which was poisoned about a year ago was one that was ever before their minds DISCOVERY. It was about 10 o'clock that Mrs. Colline discovered the little fellow with the pills and took one from his mouth. She immediately reported the matter to her husband who was at work at the Durfee school building Just across the street.

They could not tell at that time that the baby had swallowed any of the pills and neither knew of the deadly drugs that composed them. Mrs. Collins had scarcely returned home before the baby became violently ill and went into spasms. Dr. Wood was hastily summoned and a little later Dr.

Brown. They arrived less than an hour after the child had swallowed the pills and by that time his body was rigid, his teeth clenched and his lips black and swollen. Powerful emetics were administered, and injections eiven. TURNING POINT. At one time the physicians thought that the child was dead but after an hour and a half the danger point seemed to be turned.

All the rest of the day the child would go into spasms occasionally but they became less and less violent and the physicians believe that in a few days it will entirely recover. IDEA FOR NEW Y. M. C. A.

BUILDING General Secretary Patterson San Just What Wan Wanted. When General Secretary Harry Patterson of the A was at Buffalo he saw in successful operation in the new Y. M. C. A building there an institution that will be introduced into the Decatur building Something similar has been discussed but it has had no particular name for the Decatur building committee except lunch counter lemonade stand, and other more or less indefinite terms.

At Buffalo It is called the "Spa" It has some of the characteristics of a lunch counter and a soda fountain, without being either one as that term is generally used. The spa is in one corner of the lobby or general reception hall of the building where the members pass in going to the gymnasium, bath room and study rooms, and where many stop to spend a social half hour From the lobby the Spa has the appearance of being a soda fountain At one side is a small room in which are aix tables, each table with seats for lour. Many kinds of drinks such as lemonade, soda water, plain and as fancy as any first class fountain serves, hot coffee, tea, milk, etc. are served either at the counter or at the tables in the little room With the drinks are served fruits in season, sandwiches crackers, various kinds of plain cakes CURES WHILE YOU SLEEP Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure Catarrh or Money Refunded by H. W.

BelL In addition to breathing Hyomei three or four times a day through the inhaler that comes with every outfit, it is well in the treatment of catarrh or catarrhal colds to moisten a piece of flannel with a few drops of Hy- omei, and pin it to the night clothes right under the chin. In this way Hyomes will be breathed the whole night long, curing while you sleep In most cases it will break up a cold over night. The complete Hyomei outfit, consisting of a pocket inhaler, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei costs but one dollar. The inhaler will last a lifetime, and if more Hyomei, is needed, extra bottles can be obtained for fifty cents. It is the most economical of al remedies for the cure of catarrh, anc the only one that follows a natura! method in treating diseases of the respiratory organs.

Physicians advise change of climate for the cure of ca- With Hyomei, a change of climate is gained while at home. Its 'nealing balsams impregnate the air you breathe, and their health-giving and germ-destroying powers go -to ihe most remote air cells of the-respiratory organs. You take no risk in buying Hyomei Mr, Bell has so much confidence in its to kill, catarrh, grippe, and catarrhal colds that he sells it under his guarantee to refund the money if it fails to cure. and almost any kind of lunoh that can be served with little cooKing. At the counter eggs are boileid and some other cooking of that kind done, but nothing Is cooked that will off any oBor In the process The Spa is one of the most attractive features of the Buffalo'building It is operated by the association, and though the prices are moderate a profit cleared on the things sold there The Decatur building committee has tiad in mind such a department as this, but had not definitely decided what was wanted Since Mr.

Patterson made the report on the Buffalo idea It is likely that that will be Incorporated as nearly as possible the Decatur building. SUNDAY SCHOOL IN MORNING. Change Decided at North Main Street Church. A regular monthly meeting of the official Sunday school board of the North Main street M. church was held last night.

There was a good attendance, and matters of considerable Importance were discussed and decided The most important decision was that the time for holding 1 the Sunday school should be changed from 2.30 in the afternoon to 9 45 in the morning For some time such a change has seemed necessary, because of the small attendance ot young folks at the afternoon classes With church in the morning and Sunday school before, it Is thought many more will stay for the services The change will go Into effect Sunday, June 26. Next Sunday the events of the day will be as usual. In the morning Rev G. V. Metzel, the pastor, will make a special talk to children, and in the afternoon the school will hold Its annual Children's day exercises.

It was also decided that the annual picnic of the school should be held at Fairview park some time in the latter part of July. MT. ZION I. O. 0.
