By means of them a professor at Yale university found a few year age an aerolite that no ono bad oeee soon. ! It appears that a photographer In nsonla. Conn., was occupied in taking pictures by the sld of a telescope of S comet which was Invisible to the naked eye, When his negatives wore developed one of them revealed the fall of a meteor. It was too small an object to attract the Attention of the nnaldod ayes, but Its line on the phoAsgraph Indicated that It must have rtme to the earth. The picture was shown to an astronomical professor st Tale. Ascertainlsg the point of observation snd reckoning with the sld of the data which Cse photograph itself supplied, he made a calculation which proved that the tpatoor must have fallen In the neighborhood of a reservoir some two miles north of Danbury, Conn. There the eroUts was found In the very place Indicated by the calculation. It was oval la form, measured fifteen and a halt lathes to length, seven and a half laches la diameter and weighed twen-

How does Slother Nature charm away our conaclousness First of all she throws her spell oa those centers of our bodies that preside over the muscular system, causing ono group of muscles after another gradually to collapse. Thereafter various powers of mind succumb la regular order. First we lose attention and judgment, then memory goes, and Imagination wanders awsy la reveries of Its own. Ideas of time and space cease to con trol thought as gentle sleep, the nurse of our life, draws nearer. Then comes the turn of the special senses, begin hlng with sight.

The Voting Machine s -Legal Club At the last session of the legislature a registration law was passed.! It was announced that this is largely due to the great influx of foreigners into Indiana particularly in Lake county. The law Is very loosely drawr several particulars. On the face of it, the law provides that at three specified periods that the names of men who desire to vote at the next election shall be registered so that there shall be a protection against illegal voting. The law allows the board to sit three days at a time instead of one if five Toters in each precinct shall bo petition. One board is to sit in each precinct. The expenses are very Indefinite. By one calculation, if a "calendar" Instead of an "8 hour" day is used this may cost only $36 each for the fees of registration board for the three sessions. On the other hand if the "8 hour" day is used the same item will amount to $216. Altogether this may range in cost from $168.25 to $276.

Acting on this act of the legislature the voting machine agents of the state are going from county to county visiting the county commissioners, using thlB registration law and its attached and indefinite expense as a means of selling thousands of dollars of voting machines to the counties of Indiana. At first glance the average citizen can not imagine what in the world a voting machine has to do with the registration law. The law says nothing about voting machines. The machines are not used in registering. But the law does say that registration boards shall sit in every precinct. There is where the voting machine agents get in their work. The voting -machines are supposed to reduce the labor of vote counting to such an extent that large precincts are made possible. Therefore when the number of precincts are cut down behold the expenses of registration aro cut down! THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE REGISTERED. But according to the voting machine agents the only way that this can be changed is by the county buying their voting machines and in that way the county Is allowed to reduce the cost of registration! It seems to this paper that it is an outrage that the people of this or any other county should have this sort of thing held over them in an attempt to force them to use voting machines. It resolves itself Into the proposal that the only way to right a very incomplete and unsatisfactory law is to buy thousands of dollars' worth of voting machines! If the people of the other counties in this state are anything like the people of this county we do not think that the registration law will stand for more than the time it will take for the next legislature to change it! The law will have to be changed because of the fact that the compensation of the judges and the- other provisions of the law are too uncertain. It Is very probable that other counties that have been approached with the proposals of voting machine agents to cut down this expense will demand that the law be changed. Because the voters of this state that do not wish their votes Imperiled; that do not wish to be placed at the mercy of a machine; that are not deluded as to the Increased cost of the voting machine elections because the cost of the machines and their interest and depreciation is not taken into account; will join in and have this registration law repealed in those parts in which it is so expensive and inequitable. For this county to deliberately embark into the buying of $21,000 worth of voting machines because of the expenses estimated of an untried law seems unwise. We believe the people of this county do not want voting machines. They wish to see what they are doing when they vote and not trust their ballots to a machine that can be and has been tampered with. Because a law (which seems to be drawn up in the interest of the voting .machine people) has been passed giving them a legal club is no reason why the people of this county should be stampeded.

Establishing A Precedent The action of the county commissioners in appealing the suit against the T. II. I. & E. to the supreme court is a thing that every man in this community ought to thank them for. The thing is more than a matter of feet and inches of highway. It Involves the issue as to whether at this, or any subsequent time, the county shall have the right to order the traction company to place the tracks where the county shall designate aB it shall appear from time to time is a matter of public necessity or expediency.

While no one can look at the franchise granted the T. M. I. & E. without feeling that here was a place where the county should have been better safeguarded, we cannot see that because the company was given a right of way that it was given powers greater than' the county holds to be its own. In other words every wagon or pedestrian, every automobile, that passes up and down the road has a right of way the right of passage. Here also is the interurban company granted the right of way. Is it to be assumed that because the county gave the T. H. I. & E. the privilege of going along the road that therefore the county lost the right henceforth to regulate the highway? It seems to us that under the laws of reason this is untenable. It seems to us that if this were the case and the company should ever depart from its right of way In which the tracks were originally located that it would break Its concontractual rights. What is the use of taking such a view of it? To do so will render the law and the courts more unsatisfactory to the Interests of the many. The spirit of the law, bound as It Is by the growth, of public opinion, is more and more coming to the view that a privilege granted to a corporation does not thereby rob the people of regulatory power for the protection of those who had already been privileged before the entrance of the corporation. Everyone knows that the traction interests in this state represent the corporate interest which is dominant. We are happy that this does not go the limits of railroad aggrandixement that was leately seen in California and Wisconsin and New Hampshire before the people threw off the yoke but it is granted by those in touch with state affairs to have the greatest hold on state legislatures of any single corporate influence. In this instance the point at Issue is not alone a point between the county and the T. H. I. & E., but it is the issue between the people of the whole state as to whether the power of the traction companies is greater than the state's powers delegated to the county to regulate the highway. It Is for this reason that we commend the action of the county commissioners, acting through their attorneys, in appealing to the higher court. It is for this reason that we are sorry that the Commercial club commute Interposed and sought to effect a compromise giving up the matter of principle at stake. For it seems evident that if the county had compromised, that in future dealings Its cause would have been considerably weakened. The right to regulate the highways is something rather more than a temporary disability of the road. But the attorneys for the county, assure the people of the county that this will in no way hold up the Improvement of the road. We can see how the expenditure of settling this question can eventually save far more than is at stake now. It is another one of the points of contact between assumed corporate vested rights . and the cause of the citizens whose rights are thus imperilled. The county commissioners have done well, no matter what tbe decisions of the court may be, for they had a just cause and backed It upl

SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS. "Please give the true meaning of success,' says a correspondent. It all depends. Men differ in their definitions as i their Ideala differ. One may regard j success as the getting of an education, another the building of a home, another the election to an office, and so on. In its highest meaning, however, success does not consist in getting or owning anything. It la giving rather than getting: Success is in service. The objective of. it must be outside of self. Permit me to say that Ignoble success is only successful failure. Noble failure mry be and often is success. Noble success is successful success. I know a physician who does more work down in th slums bottoms for nothing than he does out on the rich avenue for pay. The night is never too dark or hot or cold for him to respond to a call for help, and he never considers whether or not he will be paid. He is successfully successful. I know a lawyer who scorns to take a bribe in an unjust cause, who counsels arbitration rather than litigation and who Is the swift defender of the downtrodden and the poor. He is nobly successful. I know an editor who twice resigned a good salary when asked to defend a greedy corporation against the Interests of the people. He won high success. I know a woman who gave up ease and society and gives her time and money in service to those who need. Is she not successful? I know a woman who has refused several offers of marriage and willingly has become an "old maid" that she may stay at home and take care of an Invalid father. Is he a failure? Successful are these souls and happy, successful in the best and truest sense. Oh, I know the world has a different standardl

who pile up money they do not need, those who achieve power and dominate, those who scorn to stoop that they may conquer. But let me whisper: Deep down in its heart the world knows better.

SOMETIMES PAINLESS Serious Stomach Trouble Comes Many People Unaware

Many symptoms of dangerous stomach trouble are so painless that they are hardly noticed. That is why the trouble so often reaches a really serious stage before anything is done to stop its onward progress. If you ever notice such painless symptoms as fullness after eating, heaviness in stomach, irregular appetite, coated tongue, bad breath or taste and belching, then you really have stomach trouble and should take something to stop it at once. An effective home made tonic does the business and saves you quite a little money at the same time. Oet a two ounce bottle of Logos Stomach Tonic Extract ( concentrated) at any first class drug store. Mix the contents of this bottle with enough pure water to make a pint, and add two teaspoonfuls of ordinary baking soda. Simple, isn't it? Yet it stops all stomach trouble in a jiffy. The concentrated extract costs you but fifty cents; you make from it medicine worth a couple of dollars at least.

''Address on Advertising" By William C. Freeman, "The Exponent of Clean Advertising" given at the Convention of the Associated Advertisers Clubs of America, in Boston. Mass., last week.1 (XEWSPAPERDOM) (Continued from Thursdays "But is not this a very small list of advertisers in the largest city in the United States who have made conspicuous successes by employing modern advertising methods? Other great stores have also succeeded by following their own methodsusing the stereotyped price bulletin and the ordinary type effects but that is because they are doing business in a wonderful city with a population at their doors representing about one-fifteenth of the population of the entire country. So many people have to buy somewhere! How much greater would their business be? How much greater interest would their advertisements arouse if they made them really readable if they actually made them real news! "Ve newspapermen must urge the advertisers in our respective communities to put human interest into their copy, to make their advertisements so attractive that the readers of newspapers will read the advertisements with the same interest that they read the news of the day. "However, 1 have seen advertising in the newspapers greatly improve. I have passed through , the period when the standing business card has stepped aside for the space that is filled with an intelligent appeal to the public; I have noticed the passing of the advertising faker; I have seen the printed lie give way to the printed truth ; I have seen character take the place of pretense; I have seen decency take the place of indecency; I have seen advertising finally recognized as one of the greatest business factors of the age. "I have witnessed an improvement in the type of men engaged in the advertising business. I have witnessed publishers change from mere grabbers of money through the printing of deceptive reading notices and fake and unreliable advertisements to men who now ask themselves: 'Have we a moral right to print this advertisement?' and answering their own question, say: 'No, we have not the moral right to print this advertisement.' So they do not print it." (To be continued)
