Wheelmen of Chicago have appointed a
committee to formally wait upon the
board of park commissioners of the various
Darks of this city and request that cycling
speedways be provided la the various
pnrksfor the use of cyclists, tinch privi
leges are grunted to riders of horses and to
owners ot animals driven in sulkies, and
men of I thought and intelligence in the
ranks of wheelmen are begiuning to in
quire iuto the reason for this apparent
partiality. The most of these men are tax
payers, and they naturally think their
wishes in the matter are entitled to some
respect, They believe it is unfair to ex
pect that tho natural speed of cyclUts
should be given no other practice ground
than the publio boulevards, aud then
curbed there by the police in order to pro
tect the bones ot pedestrians. The plan
has the sanction of several of the Cbluago
papers, notably the Inter Ocean.

BREAKING OF RECORDS.
What Science Can Do In This Line ffhia
She Tries Hard.
Steamship captains, horis owners.
bicyole riders, and a lot of otber oeo-
ple, are making atrenuous and untir
ing efforts to "break the recorJ.'' The
great publio looks on at the game with
good-natured iuterest.
Uace in a while sober science does a
little record-smashing on her own ac
count One of her latest and greatest
achievements is the disoovery and ap
plication of a process for artificially
digesting food, so that it is absorbed
immediately by the system, without
imposing the least labor on a weak
tomnch. The food is called Paskoln.
It reBtorrs the debilitated and gives
fat to tlie thin tocause it is starchy.
Ouly s arcbes add real, solid lasting
il.sh to the body. Oils and fata doo t
ami nevr will.
Mr. H. O. Mahood, of Dmlenton. Ve
nango county, Pa., says: "I was so
weak and rnu down that I 'thought I
would have to give np my business. I
could not eat nor nluep. After one bot
tle or Puskola I lezn to gain at once
aud I bave gained cvr fifteen pounds
in less thau three weeks and I now
feel like a new nun."
No wonder.
Mrs. S C. Slonoh. of Wellington and
Dauphiu streets, Philadelphia, writes:
'1 have been sick nearly tnree years,
at times suffering terrible burning
pains in my back and then cold in the
lower part of my bowels. Sometimes
I thought I should dio, AH this time
I was constipated. When I first bagan
taking Paskola I was tempted to give
it up, thinking it would do uis no good,
because I had taken so much medi
cine. I feel Pnskola beginning to do
me good, aud today I took a longer
wulk than I have been able to take in
three years. I am much stronger. I
am taking my fifth bottlo of Puskola,
and I oat almost evry thing uow. I
am i)U years old and was always active,
having worked hard."
