(Kansas City Journal)
A negro woman who is so old that
she has forgotten just how many years
she has been on this earth, called at
the Armour postofice station in KAN

price of postage stamps. Bert McKfn-
non, who is in charge of the station
told the woman that there were stamDs
of all denominations.

STATE AUDTToR's DUTY.
Ogden Standard Says Counties Are
Robbing State.

To The Salt Lake Herald:
As 4 reader and longtime subscriber 10
your valuable paper Will you kindly an
swer question or so for me?
The Ogden Standard, in its issue of the
18th, says: Fifteen other counties in the
state have been doing just what Weber
county officials have done, but as no
citizen mean enough IN those counties
could be found to call the states atten-
tlon to the matter. those counties will
not have to pay the money back to the
state"
If that is SO. and has come to the
knowledge of the state auditor, why
does he. a public official discrimin-
ate as between the counties against We
Der county? Does it matter to him how
he came by his information that money
had been fraudulently obtained from the
state? Does the particular way in which
he gets his information change his re-
sponsibility or act as an excuse for his
inattention in the one case and de-
mand in the other? I dislike to think
that high official OF our state has so
far forgotten or failed to appreciate his
duty TO his state as TO be guilty of such
partiality in office.

NEW LIFE ELIXIR.
New and Startling Discovery as to
Beat of the Heart,
lChlcago mo Ocean.)

New and startling discoveries are be-
ing made by psychologists associated
with DR.. Jacques Loeb of the Univer-
sity of Chicago. The latest is by Pro-
fessor David J. Lingle, one of the men
who has for several years been one of
Professor Loeb's assistants in his ex
periments to find out what it is that
causes the heart TO beat and what sus-
tains its action when once started.
Professor Lingle now comes forth with
the theory that it is not only common
salt, known as sodium chloride, which
stimulates and causes heart action hut
that oxygen gas is an even more i'm
portant factor in sustaining it.
It has long been known that oxygen
acts as a purifier of the blood, as is the
case when it comes into contact with
the blood in the lungs. but il has not
been asserted before that oxygen Is. d.
rectly concerned with the Sustained
action of the heart beat. Professos

REIFF ENRoUTE TO EUROPE.
Going to France So Will Not Worry
English Jockeys.

New York March Johnny Reiff.
the jockey, has sailed for Europe to
make ready for the coming campaign
on the French turf. He is under en-
gagement to ride for NJ. Gallant, one
of the leading French owners, and will
have no mounts in England, except by
specific arrangements with his en-
ployer.
The British jockeys will, therefore, be
without the opposition of either of the
Reiff brothers this year, as Lester Reiff,
who is still in California, enjoying his
honeymoon, has no intention. at least at
present, of returning to England and
seekiag a renewal of his license. As
both the Reiffs have been top-notchers
in England, and have been at the head
of the winning list or close thereto,
their absence will give the Newmarket
lads an easier chance to display them
selves.
With Johnny Reiff went Jockey c.
Gray, the crack coast rider. Gray is
returning to Australia, where he has
made a success in the saddle for the
last two seasons. He is light young
ster, riding at about los pounds, and
could have had an engagement in Eng
land this year but for the renewal of
his Australian contract.
Jockeys Spencer and Jenkins, who will
ride for James r. Keene and Frank
Gardiner, respectively, also sailed for
England today.
