, SPANISH GOVERNMENT TO SETTLE FACTS OF COLUMBUS NATIVITY . The Spanish government has appointed a commission consisting of distinguished students and savants, to unroll the veil of four centuries and establish the facts of Christopher Columbus' birth and family tree. According to evidence presented by Dr. Celso Garcia de la Reiga, a noted historian, Columbus was born in Ponjrevedra in 1436; his father was Domingo de Colon, a wool stapler; his mother was Susanna Fonterosa, who belonged to a Jewish., family converted to Christianity. Dr. Reiga brings evidence that the great astronomer, Toscanelll, gave Columbus the famous map he took on his first voyage ni search of a shorter route to India. Toscanelll, the records show, bleieved Columbus to be a Tortuguese, as one of his letters to the navigator shows. Again, the writings of Columbus are pointed out as 6howlng a marked influence of Bible study in a period when the Bible was read scarcely at all in Spain, save by priests and a very few Intellectuals, although every Jew knew the Old Testament from cover to cover. The letters and books of travel written by Columbus abound in Biblical phraseology, chopped syntax such as used In the Bible, short and flowery sentences frantastic descriptions of nature, txtravagant metaphors, invocations to the heavens and Biblical names. Columbus even wrote a "Book of Prophecise," of which, declare historians of this school, indicate a Semitic origin.

WHITE HOUSE EMBLEM SELDOM AT HALF-MAST
(From the New York Sun) When President Harding issued a proclamation announcing to the nation the 'death of the late Senator P. C. Knox of Pennsylvania and directed that the flags on all federal buildings fly at half staff during the funeral, visitors to Washington remarked that all government institutions with the sole exception of the White House carried out the chief executive's orders. They expressed surprise that the flag floating over the executive mansion was not at half mast. Only on rare occasions does the president direct that the flag upon the building be lowered to half mast. It has been done in case of the death of former presidents, or of some foreign potentate or ruler of a foreign land. It was flown at half mast when President Wilson's first wile died in the executive mansion and remained ko until her body was taken to Georgia for burial. When former President Roosevelt died the flag on top of the White House remained at half mast 30 days.
But this particular flag when raised I over the executive mansion denotes) that the president is in Washington, j

A delegation from the National Woman's party, including Mrs. Adelaide Johnson, sculptress of the statue, received Madame Yajima at the capital.
DRINK BUTTERMILK
Very few people realize how valuable buttermilk is as an aid to good health and good looks. Simply as a reminder 1 would like to make a list of some of the many uses of this inexpensive drink. If you are reducing drink buttermilk. The caloric value of a glassful Is only 80. It has the same amount of nourishment as a glass of skim milk, but it contains acids which are beneficial to the system. If you have a muddy skin drink buttermilk. The acids mentioned above stimulate certain organs in the body so that the skin will become clear and fresh. If you are trying to gain weight and cannot drink whole milk, as Is the case with so many women, drink buttermilk with cream added. To make this drink fattening you should add four or more tablespoonfuls of cream. It will give the buttermilk a richer taste. If you have Indigestion drink buttermilk which will aid you in digestng other foods and is itself one of the most easily assimilated articles ot
nounsnment. If your skin has become tanned or freckled use buttermilk externally. It bleaches the skin and gives It a soft, fine feeling. It will not, of course,' completely eliminate all rfreckles, but it will help to do so. If your skin has become rough or chapped, rub it with buttermilk, for this will keep it soft and in good condition. If you want an unusually good bleach scrape two tablespoonfuls of horseradish into a cup of buttermilk, massage this into the arms or the neck. If you use it on the face be careful not to let any of it get into the eyes. PINK EYES. Children are often Cured Of EUCkins- their fhiimKo

Buttermilk is good for the complexion. water before breakfast and if you salt it slightly, you will find that you will not have to resort to these pills. The salt in the water carries it into the intestines, where it assists in cleaning the system through this channel. If the salt is omitted the kidneys act upon it and are flushed. Reader As you bleached the coloring from the hair, nothing will help it, except to wait for nature to restore it. You can dye the parts that look badly, but that should be done by someone who knows how to do the work artistically.

"That was the state of things, Watson, when upon the Tuesday morning I, at the request of Major Murphy, went down to Aldershot to supplement the efforts of the police. I think that you will acknowledge that the problem was already one of interest, buj my observations soon made me realize that it was in truth much more extraordinary than would at first sight appear. "Before examining the room I crossquestioned the servants, but only succeeded in eliciting the facts which I have already stated. One other detail of interest was remembered by Jane Stewart, the housemaid. You will remember that on hearing the sound of the quarrel she descended and returned with the other servants. On that first occasion . when she was alone, she says that the voices of her master and mistress were sunk so low that she could hear hardly anything, and judged by their tones rather than their words that they had fallen out. On my pressing her, however, she remembered that she heard the word David uttered twice by the lady. The point is of the uttermost importance as guiding us toward the reason of the sudden quarrel. The Colonel's name, you remember, was James. "There was one thing in the case which had made the deepest impression both upon the servants and the police. This was the contortion of the Colonel's face. It had set, according to their account, into the most dreadful expression of fear and horror which a human countenance is ca
pable of assuming. More than one person fainted at the mere sight of him, so terrible was the effect. It was quite certain that he had foreseen his fate and that it had caused him the utmost horror. This, of course, fitted In well enough with the police theory, if the Colonel could have seen his wife making a murderous attack upon him. Nor was the fact of the wound being on the back of his head a fatal objection to this, as he might have turned to avoid the blow. No information could be got from the lady herself, who was temporarily insane from an acute attack of brain fever. "From the police I learned that Miss Morrison, who you remember went out that evening with Mrs. Barclav, denied having any knowledge of what it was which had caused the ill humor in which her companion had returned. "Having gathered these facts, Watson. I smoked several pipes over them, trying to separate those which were crucial from thers which were merely incidental. There could be no question that the most distinctive and suggestive point in the case was the singular disappearance of the door key. A most careful search had failed t0 discover it in the room. Therefore it must have been taken from it. But neither the Colonel nor the Colonel's wife could have taken it That was perfectly clear. Therefore a third person must have entered the room. And that third person could only have come in through the window. It seemed to me that a careful examina
tion of the room and the lawn might possibly reveal some' traces of this mysterious individual. You know my methods, Watson. There was not on of them which I did not apply to the inquiry. And it ended by my discovering traces, but very different onea from those which I had expected. There had been a man in the room and he had crossed the lawn coming from the road. I was able to obtain five very clear Impressions of his footmarks: one in the roadway itself, at the point where he had climbed the low wall, two on the lawn, and two very faint ones upon the stained board3 near the window where he had entered. He had apparently rushed across the lawn, for his toe-marks were much deeper than his heels. But it was not the man who surprised me. It was his companion." "His companion!" Holmes pulled a large sheet of tissue paper out of his pocket and carefully unfolded it upon his knee. "What do you make of that?" he asked. The paper was covered with the tracings of the footmarks of some small animal. It had five well-marked pads, an indication of long nails, and the whole print might b nearly as large as a dessert spoon. "It's a dog," said I. "Did you ever hear of a dog running up a curtain? I found distinct traces that this creature had done so." "A monkey, then?' "But it is not the print of a monkey." "What can it be, then?" "Neither dog nor cat nor monkey nor any creature that we are familiar with. I have tried to reconstruct it from the measurements. Here are four prints where the beast has been standing motionless. You see that it is no less than 15 inches from forefoot to hind. Add to that the length of neck and head and you get a creature not much less than two feet lohg probably more if there is any tail. But now observe this other measurement. The animal has been moving and we have the length of its stride. In each case it is only about three inches. You have an indication, you see, of a long body with very short legs attached to it. It has not been very considerate enough to leave any of its hairs behind it. But its general shape must be what I have indicated, and it can run up a curtain and it is carnivorous." "How do you deduce that?" "Because it ran tip the curtain. A canary's cage was hanging in the window, and its aim seems to have been to get at the bird." "Then, what was the beast?" "Ah, if I could give it a name it ftiight go a long way toward solving the case. On the whole, it was probably some creature of the weasel and stoat tribe and yet it is larger than any of these that I have seen." "But what had it to do with the crime?" "That also is still obscure. But we have learned a good deal, you perceive. We know that a man "stood in the road looking at the quarrel between the Barclays the blinds were up and the room lighted. We know also that he ran across the lawn, entered the room, accompanied by a strange animal, and that he either struck the Colonel, or, as is equally possible, that the Colonel fell down from sheer fright at the sight of him, and cut his head on the corner of the fender. Finally, we have the curious fact that the intruder carried away the key with him when he left "
urer of the city schools for several years. He has been active in the affairs of various civic and fraternal organizations for many years and is a former department commander of the Indiana Sons of Veterans. He is the fourth Democrat to be elected mayor. The other Democratic mayors were James Elder, 1873-1874; John P. Thistlethwaite, 1889-1890, and Dr. Richard Schillinger, who served from 1906 to 1909.

Pimples and boils are signs o lowered vitality X , A familiar food now used to correct than
PIMPLES and blackheads (acne) and boils are often the signals of a falling off in health. "A bad acne may indicate profound debility," writes a physician connected with a number of leading New York hospitals, and "the repeated occurrence of boils should always be looked upon as an indication of lowered vitality." It has been found from actual clinical tests that remarkable results are obtained in treating these complaints with Fleischmann's Yeast. Today Fleischmann's Yeast 13 everywhere recognized as a valuable "conditioner." It is a fresh food which supplies in rich quantities the newly discovered vitamine known to be lacking from many of our foods. It thus corrects lowered vitality which is so often the underlying cause of these minor ailments. To protect themselves against these complaints many are making Fleischmann's Yeast a part of 7 .-. , ft f-
their regular diet. It is a highly digestible food assimilated like any other fresh food. You will like its fresh, distinctive flavor and the clean, vholesome taste it leaves in your mouth. Eat Fleischmann's Yeast before or between meals from two to three cakes a day. Only one precaution: if troubled with gas dissolve yeast first in very hot water. This does not affect the efficacy of the ;-east. You will like Fleischmann's Yeast spread on toast or crackers, dissolved in milk or fruit-juices, or just plain. Place a standing order with your grocer for Fleischmann's Yeast and get it fresh daily. Send 4 cents in stamps for the interesting booklet, "The New Importance of Yeast in Diet." So many inquiries are coming in daily for this booklet that it is necessary to make this nominal charge to cover cost of handling and mailing.

The need for scientifically tested yeast " Fresh yeast has been proved by recent scientific teats to be a valuable food for correcting run-down condition, constipation, indigestion and certain skin disorders. These original tests were all made with Fleischmann's Yeast. Beware of untested yeast-vitamine preparations that contain drugs or other mixtures. Fleischmann's Yeast (fresh) is a pure food, rich in vitamine, in which it measures up to the high standards set by laboratories and hospitals. The familiar tin-foil package with the yellow label is the only form in which Fleischmann's Yeast for Health is sold. S
