FLEA EMBALMED IN HONEY Little Insect Pest Found Which Met Its Fate in Egypt Many Thousands of Years Ago. It is believed that the earliest food Etore laid aside for his wants by man, and which is still tn existence, is a jar of honey found in an Egyptian tomb, and probably placed there for the sustenance of the dead during the journey across the Stygian river, says the American Forestry Magazine. When found, the honey had changed into a very dry candy and it had lost its sweetness, though it could still be identified as honey. In the bottom of the jar, well covered with honey, was a dead flea of precisely the same sort as those which plague Egypt to this day. Apparently, the insect had hopped into the jar ■while the last rites over the dead were being observed, and when the jar was corked, the little fellow was shut up within, and, like the true patriot, he probably would have declared that death was sweet. Anyway, he sank to the bottom while the honey was still soft, and there the archeologists found him after a good many thousands of yearsMain Idea With Youngster. A youngster had caused his dad much worry by crossing streets without looking first for passing vehicles. To impress upon the youngster’s mind the necessity of being more careful, he was telling his wife in the boy’s presence a story of another little boy who, while crossing the street with ^in ice cream cone, had been run down by a heavy motortruck. For a brief moment the child sat in deep thought; then asked: “Did he spill the cone, POP?” Small Savings Important.

ALL THE TIME HE WANTED Excellent Reason Why Traveler Need Not Worry Over Possibility of Missing His Train. A Cleveland man with business Interests In Illinois tells of an incident at a railway junction in that state. He was hungry and it was only two minutes before the departure of his train. He rushed up to the counterman and exclaimed: “Give mexa sandwich and a cup of coffee, quick I Haven’t time for anything else.” “My friend,” said the man behind the counter, “take all the time you want. Just cast your eye over th s menu and I’ll telephone the superintendent 10 hold the train a while.” “Do you mean to say tliht he will actually hold the train while I eat?” “Sure, friend. This is a branch road, and there's no other train coming or going over 1t this morning. The superintendent will want you to have j a good meal —he owns this lunchroom.” Gross Ignorance. A Pittsburgh lawyer was conducting a case in court not long ago and one of tlie witnesses, a burly negro, confessed that at the time of his arrest he was engaged in a craps game. Immediately the lawyer said: “Now, sir, I want you to tell the jury just how you deal craps.” “Wass dat?” asked the witness, rolling his eyes. “Address the jury, sir!” thundered the lawyer, “and tell them just how you deal craps.” “Lemme outen heah !” cried the witness, uneasily. “Fust thing I know this gem-man gwine to ask me how to drink a sandwich.” —Boston Transcript.

ALL DEMOCRACY OFF THE SLATE Indiana Republicans’ Clean Sweep Gives Harding Plurality of 185,000. MCCRAY’S LEAD IS 180,859 United States Senator Watson Defeats Thomas Taggart by Plurality of 166,997—W0man Elected to General Assembly. Indianapolis, Nov. 4.—Complete retains from Indiana s 3,384 precincts, as unofficially tabulated, show that Harding carried the state by a plurality of 18a,773 votes. The plurality of Warren T. McCray, Republican candidate for governor, over Dr. Carlton B. McCuhuch (Dem.) was 180,859, while James E. Watson (Rep.) was re-elected to the United States senate over Thomas Taggart (Deiu.) by a plurality of 1GG.997. Reports from the Third congressional district indicated that the Republicans had overcome the early Democratic lead and that James W. Dunbar had been.re-elected to congress by a plurality of approximtely 2,500. The election of Dunbar gives the Republicans 13 seats in the house of repiPWifnllns fho oml Hmo In the history of the state that Republicans have held all the seats. For the first time in the history of the state a woman was? elected to the general assembly. She is Mrs. Julia D. Nelson of Muncie. She was elected from Delaware county, having succeeded Chirk D. MeKinlev on the Re11 lr w ; I# e* B '( Jr I W ’’ c. ■ I ¥ J K ; /Os ■ Senator James E. Watson, publican ticket following his death last week. The Republicans will have a majority in both house and the senate in the next general assembly. On the tace oi incomplete returns it appears that 11 of the 13 congressional districts have piled up sufficient lead for the Republican nominees to be elected, while two of these districts, the Third and Fourth, composed of southern Indiana counties, tire in an exceptionally close race with the two Democratic aspirants having a slight edge. Based on incomplete returns 1n the race for congress, the following pluralities have been estimated: First District —Lulirlng, Republican, elected over Wilson, Democrat, by 4,500. Second District —Bland. Republican, elected over Cullop, Democrat, by 7JIOO. Third District—Ewing, Democrat, elected over Dunbar, Republican, by 1,200. Fourth District —Canfield, Democrat, elected over Benham, Republican, 2,190. Fifth District —Sanders. Republican, elected over Batt. Democrat, by 2.100. Sixth District—Elliott, Republican, elected over Yarling, Democrat, by 8,000. i Seventh District—Moores. Republican. elected over Spaan, Democrat, by 16,000. Eighth District —Vestal. Republican, elected over Paddock, Democrat, by P.OOO. Ninth District—Parnell, Republican, elected over Seifres, Democrat, by 12,000. Tenth District—Wood. Republican, elected over Barnett, Democrat, by 14.000. Eleventh District —Kraus, Republican. elected over Cook, Democrat, Ly 9.500. Twelfth District—Fairfield, Republican, elected over Harrison, Democrat, by 6,000. Thirteenth District—Hickey, Republican. elected over Hepler, Democrat, by 8.000. Women Vote Early. Hammond. —The belief that women would not vote till late in the day was shattered in industrial centers like Gary. East Chicago and Hammond, by’ appearance of women when the polls opened. The presence of women as officials is revolutionizing the conduct in voting places and there is more speed at all precincts. A lignt snow began to fall here at 9 o’clock and this had a tendency to discourage many from getting to the polls early. Investigate Registration. Hammond. —Following instructions of Attorney General Palmer to district attorneys, agents of the Department of Justice were in the cities of the Calumet region investigating reports of false registrations. At Gary, fraudulent registrations are alleged to have been made among the negroes especially. Gary. East Chicago, Hammond and Whiting have I many colored voters. Up to the present time but few cases had been reported and those were scattered and of minor importance.

Important to all Women ' fl Readers of this Paper Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women’s complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, headache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and may be despondent; it makes any □ne so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

Oyster Feasts Revived. During the war years. England dropped the yearly oyster feasts at Whitstable and other beds, but they are now being resinned. The industry is ancient, and there are entertaining chapters in its history and fable. It is a pleasant tradition, for instance, that Nell Gwyn, wJjo, made a master in । chancery by Charles 11. left a legacy to the benchers of Lincoln’s Inn to buy oysters for dinner. At the inspection of tlie Whitstable beds recently it was stated that this is a good oyster season, and that, roughly, 50.900,00 of the shell-fish will be available.
