OPERATION AVOIDED.
Change of Food Instead of Resort to
the Knife.

Starch Indigestion is a common trou-
BILE with many persons who eat iood
containing starch-white bread, pota-
toes. pies, cakes. etc.
This results frequently in accumula-
tions Of undigested material in the IN
testines that cause swellings and forma-
tions of gas attended by discomfort
and even great suffering.
Unless the matter IS corrected by
changing the manner of eating and the
composition of the food, person may
be forced to have an operation per-
formed which might have been
avoided.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh MoKell Both Com
mitted to the Asylum for the Insane.

4 most unusual incident in this or
any other country. occurred yesterday
when Hugh Nickel and his wife Mary
Nickel. were both committed To the
ASYLUM for the insane. Many OF the
details of their deplorable condition
were related in yesterdays ISSUE
though at that time only Mr.. Nickel
was in custody. 1t was mentioned
though that his wife was also quite
violent and her mental collapse was
expected In reality she was then as
insane as her husband. though he was
more violent. but no provision had
been made for her care and she was
left at their home on the Tempe road
neighbors spending Monday night there
as a protection To her eleven year old
son and nine year old daughter. whom
il was feared she might slaughter in
her fury if left alone. Both husband
ana wife it is said. have had their
reason dethroned by too close a devo-
ton TO their conceptions of Christian
Science.

was very violent and smashed every
thing he could get hold of in his cell
even to the extent of tearing down the
stove pipe and breaking up the stove.

perhaps from exhaustion but equally

MADE HAPPY IN THE WHITE
MANS WAY-Jose Antoine. aged %.
and Louisa McAfee. aged 80, applied
in the probate court for a license To
be married in the white mans way.
They had a note from the sub agent
of the reservation to get a white mans
license so that they could be married
by a preacher. Indians can be mar
ried on the reservation without a mar
rage license If government employe
officiates. but minister can not mar
" them without the consent of the
government and the contracting par
ties have a marriage license. The IN
dams left the office OF the probate
Judge with a smile Of contentment.
A RULERS ERROR-The Mistakes
of a Young Ruler was the subject of
the sermon given by Mr.. Williams at
the Christian church last night. Among
the mistakes of this ruler one was
that he thought he could do something
to inherit eternal life, said the preach
er. All the good we can do is only
our duty We don't inherit eternal
life. 1t is a gift of God and is a mat
ter of being i'm touch with God. But
the greatest mistake of the ruler was
that he lost his opportunity. Jesus
said. eco sell that thou hast and come
follow me" And the ruler went away

The whole art, she says. lies in a

and carefully sew the edges OF tho
lace to the paper. Then make roll
of newspaper about as thick as an
ordinary mailing tube and roll the lace
trimmed newspaper strips around this
with perfect smoothness.
Next wrap the whole in blue paper

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE,
Benefits from New Law, Which Re
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence Of Gov
Hughes. the New York Legislature de.
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. It was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms. with proportionate
benefits to policyholders. and that It
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. It Is estimated that the
cost Of the mismanagement OF the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder. while the benefits
TO present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze Of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost OF securing new business
was the most extravagant evil OF the
old managements. Under the new
regime the cost Of new business has
already been greatly reduced. along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving Of over 100000 in expenses.
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to Its total
income was 19.42T in 1904. 1880, In
1905. and only 14.4Sfe in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to 37.2ss.73i.
which was an increase OF more than
go over 1905.
While 'the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company.
all reported radical economies and IN
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as 1t stands.
