Tell Him, He's a Fool . ' ' Port office inspectors and the United States district attorney were wondering last week what to do with a man who had written a postal card to President Wilson challenging him to a duel with swords or pistols., The most effective cure for a man of this kind is to tell him that he is an ordinary fool. It would tickle his bump of egotism to know that serious attention had been paid to his braggadocio. , i Using Printed Paper Centuries ago when literature was written on

parchment, many a treatise was erased from a parchment to give place to a new piece of thought.

'.The lack of paper in the United States today may

see the old practice revived. A man in Wisconsin has come to the front with a method of removing the ink from used papers, making the stock ready for a new imprint. The discovery,

if feasible in practice,, points the way to a great

saving for newspaper publishers under the present shortage and high prices of paper. Election Makes this Man 111

Joe..T. Prewitt was the only Democrat to be elected in Montgomery county. IJe was re-elected sheriff by. fifty votes. Prewitt made a strenuous campaign and worried greatly over the result. When the vote was counted and Prewitt learned that he had won, he shed tears. ; Now he is suf

fering from a nervous collapse. Politics is a

strenuous sport. Prewitt ought to preen himself that he won instead of letting his nerves get the better of him. As soon as his term expires, hell probably lead the simple life for years to come.

The Indiana Daily Times, which supported the Democratic party in the last campaign, editorial

ly comments: t

"Indiana Democrats had the same opportunity

Ohio Democrats ' ' employed wisely for victory. Indiana Democrats, though amply warned, made the incredible blunder of spurning progressives. It was this folly that started an early progressive movement in Indiana to the Republican camp. The splendid late rally of Hoosier progressives for, Wilson only emphasizes the obvious fact that Indiana Democrats, rightly led in recent years, would have been sure of 1916 progressive support and complete victory." According to the Times, the Democrats in 1916 committed hara-kiri with the same instruments the Republicans used in 1912. ... The Master Spy Exposed Karl Armgaard Graves, self-styled arch German spy, who shortly before the war published a series of articles purporting to be his experiences in the German secret service, is now charged with an attempt to extort money from Countess von Bernstorff. It is alleged in the complaint against, him that he threatened to expose her "infirmities and failings." The alleged confessions of Graves ,were so sicklied over with the pale cast of doubt at the time they were published that a discriminating reader detected at once the fairy story atmosphere. The stories, were delectable for recreative reading but contained little meat for a student of international affairs. Put a dozen college boys in a room with the assignment to hatch plots of the ilk of the Graves stories, and hand their handiwork over to a man versed in the use of language and any of us could submit a series that would equal the effusions of the alleged spy. Graves will now have an opportunity to match his brains with those of the federal authorities. We venture the guess he will find them possessed of brains that are made of more analytical and penetrating stuff than those of the gullible readers of a magazine. V-' All of which raises a serious question regarding the credibility attaching to many stories, with an alleged authentic setting, that are off ered for our perusal in the magazines. Newspapers are generally accused of being loose with the truth and of taking long chances on "stories" that have no basis in facts, but we doubt if Graves could have sold his stories to the Sunday editor of any New York or Chicago newspaper with the guar

antee that they were made of whole cloth. The skeptical editors, we believe, would have rejected them as "grapevines and "fakes."

CARPENTERS TO ASK INCREASE IN WAGS Carpenters affiliated with the local union here will ask for a raise of wages January f 1, according to 5 announcements made- Friday at a meeting of the Central Labor council. The carpenters, who are organized as part of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, have been working amicably with contracters for some time, according to Charles A. Griffy, secretary for the carpenters and secretary of the Central council. An eight hour day will be asked, and an increase of 10 cents an . hour. The present scale Is 40 cents an hour for 9 hours or $3.60 a day. The new proposed scale of 50 cents an hour for 8 hours would give slightly increased wages for a day's work.

PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY

At the big . bailding we . had no trouble In finding the director and presenting the note. He was a close friend of Kennedy's and more than willing to aid him in any way. "Ton will excuse me a moment?" he apologized. "I will get from the South American exhibit just what he wants." We waited several minutes in the office until finally he returned carrying a gourd, incrusted on Its hollow inside surface with a kind of blackish substance. "That Is what he wants, I think," the director remarked, wrapping it up carefully In a box. "I don't need to ask you to tell Professor Kennedy to watch oat bow he' handles the thing. He understands all -about.lt- -' S. " We thanked the director and hurried out into the car again, carrying the package, after his warning, as though it were so much dynamite. . Altogether, I don't suppose that we could have been gone more than an hour. :- We burst Into the laboratory, but, to my surprise. I did not see Kennedy at his table. I stopped short and looked around. There he was over In the corner, sprawled out f In a chair, a tank of oxygen beside him, from which he was inhaling laboriously copious draughts. He. rose as he saw us and walked unsteadily toward the table. "Why what's the matter?" I cried, certain that in our absence an attempt had been made on his life, perhaps to carry out the threat of the curse. "N-nothrng,' be gasped, with an attempt at a smile. "Only I think I was right about the poison." . I did not like the. way he looked. His hand was unsteady and his eyes looked badly. . But he seemed quite put out . when I suggested that he was working too hard over the case and had better take a turn outdoors with us and have a bite to eat -" "You you got it?' he asked, seislnng the package that contained the gourd and unwrapping it nervously. He laid the gourd on the table, on which were also several jars of various liquids and a number of other

chemicals. At the end of the table was

a large,' square package, from which

sounds issued, as if it contained some

thing alive.

"Tell me," I persisted, "what has happened. Has any one been here1

since, we have been gone?"

"Not a soul," he answered, working his arms and shoulders as if to get rid of some heavy weight that op

pressed his chest.

"Then what has happened that

makes you use the oxygen?" I repeat

ed, determined to get some "kind of

answer from him. ;-

He turned to Leslie, "it was no

ordinary asphyxiation, Doctor," he

said quickly. Leslie nodded. "l5ld'see that,' he admitted. "We have to deal in this case," continued Kennedy,' his will-power, over

coming his weakness, "with a poison

which is apparently among the most

subtle known. A particle of matter

so minute as to be hardly distinguishable by the naked eye, on the point of a lancet or needle, a prick of the skin not anything like that wound of Mendoza's, were necessary. But, fortunately, more of the poison was used, making it just that much easier to trace, though for the time the wound, which might itself easily have been fatal, threw us - off the scent. But given these things, not all the power in the world unless one was fully prepared could 6ave the life of the per-

hankered for the old home Apple Butter? More fames than you can count, of course for how could one ever forget that wonderful taste? How recollections flood back at the thought of it! Into one's mind steals a picture of the quaint old homestead, hiding in the cool shadows of stately maples and elms; and of the sweet-scented orchard, heavily laden in fall with Baldwins and Pippins and rosey-cheeked Winesaps. And, ah, when apples were ripe and ready, what an event was apple butter time on the old homestead ! , How every one pitched in with a' hearty !. good will to. make this delight of the autumn! And such a royal feast as there was that evening !

son tn whose flesh the -wound was made.V . Craig paused a moment, and we listened breathlessly. "Tb.Il poison, I find, acts on the socalled end-plates of the muscles and nerves. It produces complete paralysis but not ' loss of consciousness, sensation, circulation, or respiration until the end approaches. It eems to be one of the most- powerful agents of which I have ever heard. When introduced in even a minute quantity it produces death finally by asphyxiation by paralyzing the muscles of respiration. This asphyxia is what puzzled you, Leslie." - ' - ' : '- - He reached over and took a white mouse from the huge box on the corner of the table. . : "Let me show you what -1 have found,"-he said. ''I am now going-to inject a little of the blood serum of the murdered man into this white mouse." He took a needle and Injected some of a liquid which he had isolated. The mouse did not even wince, so lightly did he touch it But as we watched, its life seemed gently to ebb away,

without pain, without struggle. Its breath simply-seemed to stop Next he took the gourd which we bad brought and with a knife scraped off just the minutest particle of the black, llcorlce-like stuff that incrusted it He dissolved the particle In some alcohol, and with a sterilized needle repeated his experiment on a second mouse. -The effect was precisely sim

ilar to that produced by the blood on the first I was intent on what Craig was doing when Dr. Leslie broke In with a question. "May I ask," he queried, "whether, admitting that the first mouse died at least apparently in the same manner as the second, you have proved that the poison is the same in both cases? And if it Is the same, can you show that it affects human beings in the same way, that enough of it has been discovered in the blood of Mendoza to have caused his death? In other words, I want the last doubt set aside." - If ever Craig startled me. It was by his quiet reply: More Tomorrow. -

COULDN'T FOOL- HIK1 TWICE Experience Proved That There Was Nothing "Just as Good" as Father John's Medicine for Colds and Throat Troubles and as a Body Builder.

The victim of an unscrwpulous druggist in a Pennsylvania town says that when he asked for Father John's Medicine the druggist persuaded him to take something else which was "just as good," according to the clerk. "I might just as well have taken so much water," this writer continues. "I afterward went back and got Father John's Medicine and in a short time I felt, the good effects.. It Increased, my weight gave me strength and helped my bronchial trouble." . In some localities this prac

tice of substitution by druggists. is an evil practice of vast pro- ' portions. The unscrupulous drug- . gist who forces upon you a different preparation when you call for Father John's Medicine is doing you an injury. Remember that Father John's Medicine is a doctor's prescription, pure and wholesome, free

from opium, morphine, chloroform or any other dangerous drugs or alcohol and with a history of more than 50 years' success in the treatment of colds, throat troubles' and as a tonic and body builder. Begin taking it today; it will make you strong.
