Herophilus, one of the Alexandrian
school, wrote a treatise on the practice
of medicine. on obstetrics, on the eye
and on the pulse which he correctly
referred to the movements of the heart.
He was aware of the existence of the
lacteals and Of their anatomical rela-
tons to the mesenteric glands. Erasis-
tratus-his colleague and n pupil OF
Theophrastus and Chrysippus = was
aware of the nature of the heart and
its connection with the veins and ar
teries, but he fell into the error that
the veins were for the conveyance of
air and the arteries for that of blood.
Otherwise he anticipated Harvey's
great discovery He knew also that
there were two kinds of nerves-those
OF motion and those of sensation.

The custom of showing the flag at
half mast originated from the way at
sea Of showing the pre-emlnence one
ship had over the other in time of war
fare. The vanqulshed always had to
lower its flag. while the victor's would
be raised as high as possible In exul-
tation. To lower a dag is an act of
submission or betokens respect to SUI

hosting Of flag half mast high came
to be used. therefore, as a sign of

Would you buy groceries ola grocer

men existed would you expect them to

why then expect a farmer to sue

paper. A paper OF thiss class is Just
as much necessary part OF the tools

OTTAWA GIRL A SUICIDE
Miss Kate Deford browns Herself in
the Marias Des Cygnes.

Ottawa, Kansas, April 23.-After a |
protracted search the body of Miss
Kate Lee Deford was taken out of
eight feet of water this evening in the |
Marias Des Cygnes, just at the edge
Forest park Miss Deford was the
daughter of Colonel j. w. Deford, a
we'll known lawyer of this city. She
was a half sister to w. a. Deford who
is also we'll known over the state.
There is little question but that Miss
Deford came to her death by her own
act. Just two years ago today her
mother died. Since that time the
daughter has frequently been subject
to spells of melancholia, and her
friends noticed that yesterday she was
very much so affected. She left home
last evening at $50 o'clock and did
not return.
Her absence did not arouse any un-
easiness, as she often went to the home
of some friend and spent the night.
She did not return this morning and
upon inquiry no friend could be
found who had seen her. A search
was instituted at once. As the day
wore on and no trace could be found
of the girl more searching parties
were organized District court was
adjourned that her father and brother
might assist. At O'Clock the fire bel
rang and crowds of men we're called tc
assist in the search. The river had
been dragged with rakes and nothing
was found Some large hooks were
produced and another party went tC
the river. Its efforts was rewarded b.
finding the body. Coroner Haggar
was summoned and after an examina
tion made statement that the bod.
had been in the water a number o
hours and that death had come b.
drowning.
Miss Deford was about 20 years olt
we'll educated and prominent in Ottaw
soc iety. She had spent much Of he
life in the East.

PAiNE'S CELERY

THE POPULAR SPRING MEDICINE
CURES EVERY FORM OF LIVER
TROUBLE.
A Victory Over an Insidious Disease
After the Failures Of Physicians.

The liver is the great housekeeper
of our health. On its right and
proper action depends our enjoyment
of life.
One OF the commonest indications of
disordered and diseased is q nasty
tongue-furred and coated. Such a
condition is positive proof that the
liver is not working we'll. Other
symptoms are as follows: nauseous
taste in the mouth, pains under the
shoulder blades end in the region of
the kidneys. Frequently the mental
systom of liver trouble are more dan
gerous than the bodily ills. Sufferers
experience mental anguish, gloomy
forebodings, melancholy, and gen.
eral feeling of disgust with life.
When these bodily and mental
troubles are experienced, your liver
tells you it needs immediate help. If
the proper medicine is not used at
once, sickness and death follow.

A KEYNOTE SPEECH
Senator Beveridge Outlines Repub-
liCnn Policies

indianapolis, Ind. April 23.-Much
oratory and enthusiasm marked the
opening of the Republican state con-
vention in Tomlinson hall this after
noon. Senator Albert j. Beveridge
delivered an eloquent address, in
which he outlined the principles upon
which the Republicans of Indiana will
enter upon the next campaign, and
although the committee on resolutions
has not yet reported, it is understood
that the planks in the platform will
not vary widely from the general
statements made by SenatorBeveridge
this afternoon. The speaker laid par
ticular stress upon the fact that this
was the opening convention OF the
Twentieth century and implied that 1t
behooved the Republicans Of Indiana
to look we'll TO what they said and did,
as they were, in a manner, to blaze
the way for the conventions which are
to follow in other states, upon which
the policies OF the Republican party
for the next national campaign Will
in large measure depend.
The senator declined to say that he
was the mouthpiece OF the administra'
ton of President Roosevelt, but would
not deny that what he had-to say re-
garding national issues had been in a
large measure approved ut Washing
ton.
Senator Beveridge was the perma'
nent chairman of the convention, and
was greeted with cheers when he ap'
peared on the platform. There were
frequent outburst of applause through
out the delivery of the speech. Dur
ing the two hours required for the de-
livery of the speech, not a delegate
left his seat

BAKING POWDER SEIZED
The New York Board of Health Find
it Contains Alum and Rock,
Declare it Dangerous ITO
Heath and Dump it Into
the River

The New York papers report that
the Health Department OF that city has
seized as dangerous to health nearly
two tons of cheap mixtures sold for
baking powder, and dumped them into
the ottal scow to be destroyed. More
of the power was found in Sixth
Ave. department store. The report Of
the analysis of the Health Department
stated that it was IAN alum baking
powder" containing alum and pulver-
lied rock.
The different health authorities
seem to have different ways OF re-
pressing the sale of bad baking pow
ders. In England they have prosecut-
ed the grocers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Mis-
souri, the sale of alum baking powder
is actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize .he unwholesome stuff
and cast it into the river, without any
discussion. The latter way is certain
ly effective.
The alum baking powders are usual
ly offered at a low price, ten to twenty
cents a pound, or with some prize, as
temptation to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder of established name and repu'
tation. Do not be tempted by the gro
Ger to take something else as Just as
good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by unscrupulous max
ers and is selling an alum powder
without knowing it.
There are several good powders
on the market let the housekeepel
insist on having what she knows i:
right, and not be induced to risk the
life of the family for an imaginary
saving of few cents.
