Past Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, is author of an article on "The Pythian Tubercular Sanitorium," in the current issue of the national organ of the lodge. In the article he has made an attempt to discourage the proposition of establishing a tubercular sanitorium for members of the Pythian order which is now pending In the Supreme lodge. - Means Big Expense. He says that it would be a mistake to erect one large hospital because it would necessitate that the brothers in come parts of the ccuntry who cared to take advantage of the sanitorium would have to be cent long distances from their homes. This would bring homesickness and loneliness which is a hinderance to the cure. "The fact that the treatment, as stated herein, can now be had as successfully in one part of the country as in another, and thereby avoid the distressing and depressing influence of homesickness and loneliness, to me is of such very deep and greater importance that the effort to establish a great central institution should be abandoned, and the work taken up along the lines of local institutions, either by the Pythian lodges or where that is not considered desirable, then by aiding other movements that are inaugurated to establish institutions nearer the homes of these unfortunate people." , There are several kinds of warts, louie of them contagious. ' The scientific name of the most common is prruca vulgaris.

SI, 000 HANDED MUNCIE MAYOR, STATES YOUNT

MUNCIE, Ind., May 31. Startling testimony to the effect that Mayor Bunch and deputy prosecutor, Williams, received upward of 11,000 each for protection given his slot machine operations, was adduced today from Lloyd Yount in the Williams bribery trial today. Yount produced books alleged to show a record of ; sums paid. -They ranged from 39 to $76. He said he settled regularly every Saturday afternoon in the mayor's private office. Yount declared the slot machine business was so successful that it was extended to Portland, Albany and Eaton, and that he was sent to Anderson where he made arrangements with a "certain nice gentleman" to put in machines there. Before he could do that Yount said he was arrested at Richmond for the attempted bribery of the Mayor there.

GRAFT SUIT Williams and asked him to come to Richmond and defend him. Williams said he -couldn't go to Richmond, so th witness stated, because he would get the fellows in Muncie In trouble.

The machine, which" was the first to reach Richmond en route- from the speedway, made the seventy-two miles in the remarkable time of 1:46. It was driven by C. E. Daugherty, a Cincinnati manufacturer. The machine carried seven passengers. Three minutes after the big Premier had come to a temporary halt, the cylinders were again purring, and five minutes after its entry into Richmond the machine was at the city outskirts headed for Cincinnati. At that the Premier wasn't the first machine to reach Richmond. from the scene of the 300-mile grind. . .A Dayton motorbike rider, name not known, beat the Cincinnatians to Richmond by a margin of five minutes. The two-wheeler made the trip in 1:41, according to his statement. Whether he left after the completion of the race or whether he took a running start in getting away from the speedway grounds before the close of the race is problematical. Whether er not the Cincinnati party waited until the close of the race rests with the words of the occupants of the car. Following the first two gas driven machines were cars of varied descriptions and destinations. A party of Pittsburgers stopped at the Westcott for dinner and then left for Dayton, their day's destination. -Machines from Cincinnati and Dayton were the most numerous. A number of Richmond parties made the trip to Indianapolis via the gas route, buth these evidently were disciples of the "safety first" and "be reasonable" slogans.
