Missed Chance for Fame.

The astronomer, Lalande. narrowly
escaped being made famous by dis
covery. He accidentally struck Nep-
tune with his glass on May 8, 17S5,
but supposed it was star He put it
down in his notebook as star and
recorded it's exact situation. Two
days later he struck 1t once more and
made record of it. But when he
looked over his notes he found he had
it down as being in two different
places, and as a star cannot move in
4S hours he supposed he had made
a mistake in one of his notes. If he
had used his mind a little less me-
chanically he easily might have been

res on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
enlargement in a report recently
made by large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to its American Gus
toners. Incidentally it indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living. The re-
port says: Owing to the rapidly in
creasing cost of living in Japan labor
costs more, and in consequence cul-
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that OF sea-
sons prior to the war, and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reyersion to the
excellence of former years. New

NO MEDICINE.
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food,
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats. etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and if we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train
of ails result:
Too much fat also is hard to digest.
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach. belching gas, and hloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders In not only relieving
the distress but in building up
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes
"About five years ago suffered with

Land They Purchased.
Austin, Tex. Ben H. Kelly, district
attorney of the Thirty-first district
which embraces Ochiltree, Lipscomb
and other counties of the Panhandle,
was here and conferred with the at
torney general and the state control
Ter in regard to the situation which
exists in chat county over the question
of payment of taxes by the purchasers
of state lands. These land owners, 1t
will be remembered, refused to pay
state taxes upon these lands and legis.
lativ action was taken to force tbs
payment All of the county officers,
including the board of commissioners,
who were alleged to be upholding the
land owners in the non-payment OF
taxes, were removed from office by le-
gal proceedings which were institute
ed and prosecuted by Mr.. Kelly. At
the recent election, however, the same
old set of officials were reelected
and resistance against the payment
of taxs has bedn renewed. The new
method Is for the land to be placed
upon the assessment records as be-
longing to unknown owner" by the
board of county commissioners. The
district attorney is powerless to insti'
tute suit for the collection of these
back taxes unless instructed to do SO
by the board of commissioners TO do
So This the board refuses to do. The
object of Mr. Kelly's visit here is be
learn whether the board OF commits
sioners can not be mandamused to
order that these suits for collection
of back taxes be brought. If this can
not be done the legislature at its com
ing session will be requested to dis
organize ochiltree county.
