ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. Political in

session of the State Legislature centers
upon the election OF United States
Senator to succeed George G. Vest. There
is large Democratic majority on joint
ballot Mr.. Vest is a candidate for re-
election. Half dozen names have been
suggested as contestants, but none are
considered as serious opponents to Mr..
Vest, and at the present outlook it is safe
to say that he will succeed himself. The
much discussed measure known as the

The Depression Caused. by
Disease Is DiSpelIed.

DISEASES, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF
~ chronic nature, cannot be cured ex-
cept by treatment that strikes directly
at the root OF the trouble. The new, origi-
nal and marvellous method OF treating dis
eases that is pursued at the State Electro
Medical Institute is one that never fails.
The salutary effects of the treatment on
any disease are at once perceived and a.
speedy and permanent cure is invariably
made in every case. {.
The treatment is medicaE and electrical
combined. The peculiar meth od. of. adj
ministerin9 these two great curative reme-
dies is a new, original, scientific discovery
of the Institute 1t is used exclusively by
them and the most amazing results are
accomplished IN the treatment and cure of
al diseases.
The Institute is splendidly equipped
with every device known to the scientific
world for administering medical electric
ity, including large Static, Faradic and
Galvanic batteries, Electric Belts. Body
Batteries and a great variety Of other
electric appliances that are manufactured
and used exclusively by the Institute IN
their Electro Medical treatment. By
means of these electric batteries and ap-
pliances, vitalizing, life-giying electric
currents are used to aid in sending the
Institute medicines directly to the dis
eased organs and diseased parts of the
body.
The medicines prescribed at the Insti-
tute are perfect laboratory triumphs. for
mulated from true appreciation of the
medicinal wants of the body; and when
these medicines are aided in their recu-
pera!ing and healing work by electricity
scientifically applied, every symptom Of
disease is rapidly oisrelled the patient
soon regains perfect health and strength,
while the depression caused by disease is
displaced by the happiness and pleasure
that is the natural heritage of those twin
blessings, "a sound mind in a sound
body"
If you are sick or ailing, if you want to
know what is the matter with you, and if
you want to be cured, you should resort
without delav to the State Electro Medical
Institute. The Institute TREATS AND
CURES Diseases of the Heart, Brain and
Nerves, Blood Diseases, Rheumatism, Ca

FIRST POLAR EXPLORER
A Holland Sailor Sought Northeast
Passage to China in 1894

The hardy mariners who were the pio-
neers in polar discovery. achieved Won
ders. considering that they had every
thing to learn about methods of arctic
work, and their vessels and equipment
were very inadequate. One of the great
est of all arctic voyagers was the man
who commanded the first true polar ex-
pedition. William Barentz. He sailed
from Holland in 1894 on the little fishing
smack Mercurius, and the object of his
voyage shows how ignorant the mer-
chants and seamen of those days were
as to the navigability of Arctic seas.
Barentz pushed into the unknown for
the purpose of sailing around the north
end of Nova Zembla and finding a north
end passage to China, and so for month
he skirted the wall of ice that barred
his way. seeking in every direction for
a lane by which he might travel through
the pack, putting his vessel about
times and travelling back
and forth along the ice edge for 100
miles. The highest north he attained
during this careful examination of the
ice edge was GA statute miles south of
the highest point reached by Nansen,
or S74 miles from the pole.-Harper's
Weekly.

used in music boxes. The organ was
brought from Mexico on pack mules by
the Indians who accompanied Father
Junipero Sierra to San Diego in 1776.
After the earthquake in 1912, this
quaint organ was removed from La
Purissima to Santa Ynez mission, where
1t has been ever since until compare
lively a short time ago, when it was
transferred to San Jose. It's actual age
is not known, nor just where it was
made. But 1t IS considerably over hum
dred years old, and it was recently pre-
sented to Father Farrelly by Mr.. Nc
Laughl1n of San Jose.
VENERABLE FIGURES.
Much older, but not as absolutely
unique, are the figures carved in wood.
One represents the Virgin, the other St.
Thomas Aquinas, and both are almost
life-size. The faces and hands of both
are colored with flesh tint. the eyes are
glass, the pose in each is life-like. and
altogether they are as realistic, although
over 400 years old, as II they were the
work Of today.
St. Thomas, the Father Of Moral Philo-
sophy, is credited by Father Farrely
with having originated the phrase so
dear to the American heart, "All men
are born equal" The figure was garbed
(by the wood carver) in rich vestments
which are graceful in outline, and COL
ored black and gold. Both that and the
Virgin were brought from Spain to the
San Gabriel mission and one presented
to Father Farrelly by Father Bott.

rare curlos in the collection is book
written two hundred years before print
ing was discovered, by Franciscan
monk. 1t is psalter, calendar and
litany of the saints and contains no NEIL
ton OF any later than st. Francis of

thirteenth century.

dence of that time. 1t is written on

and contains fourteen magnificent
Nominations, in which the colors
are as brilliant and beautiful as
if they had been used last week.
For this rare volume Father Far
reilly is indebted to Mother Russell of St.
Mary's hospital, San Francisco, who
also presented him with curious snuff
box made of wood that was used in an
arch in the Cathedral of Glasgow. The
box has on it's under side a biography of

SOME RARE OLD RELICS
THE PRICED POSSESSIONS P. F. FARE1LY OF
PASADENA

| the tree from which the wood was cut
on its cover is a sketch of the cathedral
and as the latter was founded in 1923, the
wood must be at least 700 years old.
VENERABLE BOOKS
Besides the ancient psalter, Father
Farrelly has some rare and precious
Bibles. One, an old French Huguenot,
bound in vellum and supposed to be one
of the first Bibles ever printed; Ger
man Bible with the date 1874: and an
other. also German, made at Cologne in
the year 1854, containing the book of
Maccabees and illustrated throughout
with curious and interesting wood cuts.
1t is an accurate translation into the
German, with many notes by John Dir
tenburger.
There are six other interesting old
books, small, all bound in velum or
leather, and several have the leather
thongs with which to tie the covers to-
gether. Perhaps the most curious of
these small books is Daily Expression
Of Conscience" written in Spanish by
one of the first fathers of the church, on
parchment.
A PEDIGREED CANE.
One of his treasures that is close to
Father Farrellys heart is a particularly
handsome cane which has a pedigree.
1t was made in Killarney, of the Irish
bog oak which grew before Noahs flood.
Is elaborately carved with shamrocks
and is tipped out with handsomely
chased gold head. The latter adorn-
ment is distinctly modern. but the
cane itself is on record. it is acknowl-
edged by archaeologists all over the
world; and if they and Father Farrelly
are willing to accept it as a survival of
the damp period for which Noah is cele-
brated in song and story, that should
seem sufficient to satisfy others who
may be cursed with a skeptical turn of
mind.
Father Farrelly also has two antique
Roman lamps, gifts Of the widow of the
late Judge David Belden. One Of the
lamps came from an old Roman tomb
at Baide, near Naples, the period to
which it belongs is unknown; the other
from the Columbarium Of the family of
Julius Caesar, on the Appian Way. This
last is known to be nearly 2OOO years old.
ANCIENT NEWSPAPERS
A little roll of queer old English news
papers completes this extremely inter-
asting collection. and although last are
by no means least. There is a COPY of
the London Times of 11SS; the Morning

Dublin Journal and the Penny London
Post of January and October, 1745, re-
;pectively.

which the nineteenth century saint, Ed.

cember in Smith hall, West Colorado
street. Each relic has history which is
we'll authenticated. Few, if any, in the
whole collection have duplicates in this
part Of the world.
AN OLD ORGAN
Perhaps the most curious of all is the
first pipe organ ever brought into Cali
fornia. 1t is about four feet wide and
as many deep, and stands not over six
feet in height. A@>simple box of dark,
polished wood, crowned with Gothic or
namentation of carved wood, which
frames clusters of simulated gilt pipes.
It has no keyboard but is worked by
a hand crank, like the common barrel
organ.
The pipes are in perfect condition and
give sweet mellow tones. There are
number of cylinders, each containing
different Mass, and constructed with
bits of metal in relief on the surface OF
