VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY
IN THATCHER CASE
Story of Mrs. Thatcher Carries More
Weight Than Experts
Testimony

A jury in Judge Smiths department
of the superior court yesterday after
noon returned a verdict of not guilty
in the case of the charge oe forgery
against A. NJ. Thatcher.
Thatcher was accused of having
forged the name of R. S. Ehret of
Ocean Park to a check for $780, The
trouble started during the building of
a cottage by the Thatchers and Ehret
at Ocean Park. Mrs. Thatcher testi-
fled that she had seen Ehret sign the

Professor Ames, who was brought here
from San Francisco and who testified
that the signature was a forgery.

PRINTED STATIONERY FOR FARMERS

just why the use of printed stationery
is confined almost exclusively to mer.
chants, and business and professional
men, is somewhat difficult to understand,
especially when it is matter of economy
for farmers, and those who have consider
able correspondence, to use it. 1t is more
difficult, of course, to understand why
some business men fail to use it, except
for the reason that they are not good
business men.
Letter-writing is rapidly increasing.
For one reason or another, farmers are
having more correspondence with the
outside world, and very frequently it oc-
ours that addresses are not correctly
given. or the name of the writer not per-
fectly plain, which results in dissatisfac
tion to both writer and recipient.
Printed note heads and envelopes would
positively prevent all troubles of this
kind, and in case of an improperly ad-
dressed envelope, il would be returned to
the writer.
Printed stationery also has the effect OF
giving an order, or request for inlorma-
tion, better attention. 1t Isl silent wit
ness that the writer is per on OF respon-
sibility and importance, as well as up to.
date in business matters.

All Colors Are Stylish
WHAT THEY USED TO DO

The grippe still RACES. In old times the
people escaped all these troubles. When
anything happened to them they went
up in the attic, where they found care
fully slowed away lunches of bugle
weed, sumach, wintergreen, sassafras,
camomile, hoarhound, yellow dock, cat
nip, cherry bark, mullen, extract of oats,
lobelia, white oak bark, elderberry, ele-
campane, burbock root, ginseng, iimson
leaves and other "yarbs.' When a man
was nervous he took catnip. In the
spring he drank sassafras tea and took
sulphur and niolasses. When he had a
cold he drank hoarhound and boneset
When his throat was sore he took sumacE.
When he had rheumatism he boiled
wintergreen leaves and drank the effu-
sion.
In case of poisoning or the stomach,
ache or indigestion he drank lobelia tea
and he fell back on an Infusion of mullen
leaves for everything that the other
remedies didn't touch. This was in the
good old days when people were satisfied
with any remedy, provided it was bitter
and hard toe take. The old notion of
medicine was that il was the result of
possession by the devil and the only way
10 drive him out was to give him such a
dose that he would be disgusted with his
earthly habitation and be willing to vam-
oese.

DEBT OF THE NATIONS

The debts OF the nations given in the
World Almanac exceed 10000, 600, ,00O
These do not nearly represent the cost of
a century's wars. but only that portion of
the cost that remains unpaid and a
charge upon the people, continues the
New York World. Only in few cases,
like Canada and New Zealand, does
public debt represent other than war ex-
penditure, and these sums are more than
balanced by sleft over" debts from the
eighteenth century. The earth has L.

Dl William
Slayer of Winter, art thou here again
o welcome, thou that bring'st the
Summer nigh !
The bitter wind makes not thy victory
vain,
Nor will we mock thee for thy faint
blue sky.
Welcome, o March Whose kindly days
and dry
Make April ready for the throstle's IS

Thou first redresser of the Winters
wrong
Yea, welcome March and though
die ere June,
Yet fnr the hope of life | give thee
praise,
Striving to swell the burden of the
tune
That even now l hear thy brown birds
raise,
Unmindful of the past or coming
days;
Who sing, 80 joy new year is begun!
What happiness to look upon the
sun p
o, what begetteth all this storm of bliss.
But Death himself, who, crying
solemnly,
Even from the heart of sweet forgetful-
ness.
Bids us, "Rejoice lest pleasureless
We die.
Within little time must ye 60 by,
Stretch forth your open hands, and,
while We live,
Take all the gifts that Death and Life
