stice and Cohen upon a patent.
George Argyris.
Argyris is a Greek. 19 years of age
Ten years ago in his native country
his skull was fractured, but he SEEM
ed soon to recover from the injury.
Shortly afterward he came to this
country. He worked for his brother
in a restaurant in the Latin quarter
Of san Francisco. A few months ago
he got into a fight with the cook and
was struck with a poker over the right
ear. The spot was where his skull had
been fractured years before.
The effects Of this blow seemed to
drive him insane, and he wandered
about from place to place in an aim
less manner, and was recently arrest
ed in Sonoma County for robbery. He
was deemed more fit for an asylum
than prison, and was committed to
Napa Hospital. Here an operation
was decided upon, and was performed
on Monday. The skull was opened and
q large tumor that was pressing
against the brain was removed. The
skull section which had been cut out
was replaced by a bone button. 3"
Argyris' mental powers have been COM
pleteIy restored. and in all probability
he will soon be discharged as COM
pletely cured.

PARIS, Feb. 6.-An official of the
United States embassy called at the
Foreign Office to-day to urge an early
reply to the last American note con-
cerning a revision of the Franco
American reciprocity arrangement.
The negotiations have now assumed
the following exact form:
France expressed her willingness to
respect the minimum tariff on Ameri-
can meats and also to grant the mini
mum tariff on Porto Rico coffee if the
United States will give 20 per cent re-
duction in the rate on champagne un-
der the reciprocity clause Of the Ding

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The Reichstag
to-day passed the bill prolonging for
one year the maintenance of the army
at its present peace strength. 1t was
generally predicted before the last
election that the Government would
attempt to carry bill this winter in
creasing the number of troops under
arms but the unsatisfactory financial
status of the empire prevented it. 1t
is now believed the Government
merely postponed the execution of the

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People KNOW How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
oisinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take OF it the better; it is not a
drug al az, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out OF the system.
Charcoal swestens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odOrous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
uroves the complexion. II whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
q ad eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
Is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;

invention of an Austrian tailor and

strength. The striking feature OF the
market was the decline in interest at
the higher levels and the lapse into
actual duIlness at times. In the early

its recent prominence in the market,
the impelling factor being the definite
decision on the part Of the Oregon
Short Line directors TO avail them
selves of the privilege under the mort
lgage to retire the participating bonds
at 1929. In spite Of all official dis
chalmers, the speculative element sees

Eground for the heavy buying and
