most unknown century ago. 1t was
virtually discovered by DR.. Nehr who
published booklet in 1913 describing
the marvellous results upon patients Of
his who had been drinking the waters.
But DR.. Nehr recommended that all
invalids repairing to Marienbad should
take their beds with them, because
no accommodation whatever was then
provided in such sequestered spot.
Matters had not much improved in
1920 when Goethe visited Marienbad
and drank the waters, for he wrote to

wAvERLY DOCTORS GET WRIT.
Win in First Round of Their Indct-
ment Trouble.


Waverly.-Judge G. H. Kelley has
granted writ of habeas corpus in the
case of the local doctors who were in
dicted at the September term of court
for attempting to fix, regulate and
maintain the price of medical and sur
gical services.
Application for the writ was made
few days ago on the grounds that
the defendants were Illegally deprived
of their liberty, for the reason that
the statute under which the indict-
ment was found is unconstitutional.
Further, that medical service, or
medical skill of physicians or surgeons
Is not and cannot be included within
the terms "article of merchandise or
commodity" or either of them, as
used in section 5000 of the code under
which the indictment was found.
The hearing will be held in this
city on Oct. 10. No matter what the
decision of the judge at this hearing
may be, an appeal will be taken to
the supreme court for the purpose of
having that tribunal construe the
statute and to determine it's consti-
tutionality.

under arrest by Sheriff Caldwell and
brought to Waterloo, where he was

brand. He is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Raymond and grandson of
Mrs. Andrew Clark, pioneer settlers
Of the county.
Raymond states that as far as he
was able to determine his arrest was
due to the fact that the week before
three men came upon his fathers
farm for the purpose of hunting, and
as it had been a rule to protect
squirrels and birds on the place he
ordered the intruders to leave. They
refused to go and he went to the
house for his gun, stating he would
be back in a few minutes, to which
they replied, there is no hurry. He
returned with the gun and claims to
have shot three times in the air to

First Universal Language.

One of the earliest and most conf
dent attempts to establish a universal
language on the lines of the modern
Esperanto was that of Sir Thomas
Urquhart, who in 1863 issued his Gin
PRODUCTION to a universal language
which for variety of diction in each
part of speech surmounteth all the
languages of the world" An expectant
public was hidden to look out for sub
sequent volumes, but they never ar
rived. Bishop Wilkins, who fiourished
about the same period, had his own
ideas about universal language, but
they did not materialize. He was an
optimist of the first degree, and was
firmly convinced that it would be pos
sible to communicate with the moon
by means of flying machines.
