DR.. Lew stated that he had had
considerable experience in the use
Of anaesthes a, and that. as far as
his own experience was concerned
1t was the rule for patients under
| anacsthesia to have hallucinatlons
OF certain kind. He referred o
several instances where me pat ent

dreams. He related m instance
which took place yesterday in his
practice, between IL and / o'clock.
In which delusions were SHOWN. No
complaint was made. however, by
the patient when che ccme fron
under the influence of the anaes-
thatic.
The witness stated chloroform
produces ha'lucinations. He re-
ferred to the beliefs and orinions OF
the authorities upon the admins
tration of anaesthesia and why tn =
| presence Of tn rd party was CON
sldered necessary. These references
coincided with the testimony of for
mer witnesses.

cy of Miss Irvine's statement with
the theory that she was labor ng

thesia upon mind and body-that
the mind first came under the in
ffuence OF the anaesthet'c.
In answer 20 question, Dr. Lew

scribed the dentists condition. and

This season of peace on earth,
good will to men, finds Europe IN
state of greater unrest than it
has been for a generation. AT
no time were all the great Powers
there so bent upon extravagant
outlays for military and naval
purposes.
The Balkan situation has been
bad enough where almost every
state has been on the verge of
ACTUAL waR but the feverish haste
with whichGermany and England
are building battleshlps and the
great loans to be placed byFrance
and Russia are signs of anything
but "peace on earth"
Meager details of the French
purpose would indicate the crea
ton of vast fund of 100000 900
chiefly for the army and navy.
In proportion tolts wealth, France,
has spent less in recent years
than either England or Germany
for military purposes. 1t is now
In the position of one grown
enormously rich by the hoardings
of it's thrifty people over long
period of years. Germany, on
the contrary, has been borrowing
on a lavish scale andlt has reached
Il poiLt where the national credit
feels the strain.
England's position is similar to
that of Germany. The drain up
on the people to support it's
mighty navy and the constant in
crease in this burden of taxation
are matters of grave concern to
statesmen and economists who
try to balance mp the financial af-
fairs of the future.
Lord Roberts, whom some of
his countrymen now call a jIngo,
only recently astonlshed Parlia
ment by declaring the country
needed at once 81, 100000 soldiers
TO prevent a German invasion.
Even the poor, long talked of tun-
mel beneath the English Channel
cannot be built, because of the
war specter which appears ever
to be present to the true sons of
Briton.
This state of unrest grows in.
stead of dimlnlshes. Armaments
despite The Hague Peace Confer
ences, are multiplying rapidly.
Armies get bigger and warships
of heavier tonnage. For all of it
the people are saddled with a
greater and greater debt.
What American can fail to be
thankful that he lives where there
are no even imaginary foes, Just
across the border!-The Press.

WOmen's Ingenuity.

Women possess greatlngenuity
in adapting old contrlyances to
new ends, but little power for
inventions. The patent Office at
Washington contains, it is true,
many models from feminine
hands, some useful and some
fantastic. For instance, one
woman, who wished to com bine
gardening and poultry-raislng,
invented an anti scratching ap-
phance for the feet of hens; but
it is to be feared that the condi-
ton of the feathered flock suffer.
ed from lack of their customary
"dlet of worms" Most of the
popular and effective convenien.
ces of personal and domestic HE
have been made by men. A
woman can do more things with
a halrpln than a man ever could
accomplish. She will pick a lock,
extract bean from a oaoy's nose
or ear, run a string into a cur
tain, hang a picture or button her
shoes with the useful hairpin.
But, despite her frantic demand
for a practlcal pocket, she has
not invented one; and she still
washes dishes and wipes them
by hand. A woman's ability to
make the best of things, as she
finds them, is a distinct charac-
teristic of the sex. 1t would be
missed, sadly, If 1t were to be
supplanted by even a high order
of original inventiveness. For
this easy, rapid adaptation of IN.
adequate means to desired ends
is applied by woman, not only
to the machinery of the house
hold, but to the human forces
among which she lives. The IN
genious wife adapts even clum-
sy husband and an inexperiepc-
cd cook to the production OF do
nestle harmony.

DENNIS FAV0RS
ROSENHAUPT

A fiattering tribute to State Sen
ator Rosenhaupts candidacy for
congress from this district is paid
by G. B. Dennis, one Of the best
known business and publicity men
of eastern Washington. Mr.. Dennis
says:
THE position of congressman
while of itself honorable in char
acter, should be filled by a man
who can do 1t honor and who can
best represent the constituency.
"The Inland Empire, Of which
Spokane and this district is part,
has forged to the front against
many odds, until today perforce its
inherent strength in men, re-
sources and publicity has become
almost household word through
out our broad land, and the man
who should represent it in the
-..--- of congress should be equal
to it's attained growth and pres
tige, and be able not only to cope
with and maintain but to add to
it materially. That man is he who
by education, training and associa-
ton is best ntted for the position,
as well as identified personally with
the commercial and financial con-
ditions of the country.
"One of the aspirants for the
honor is Harry A. Rosenhaupt,
whose career since boyhood | have
watched with interest, and who to
my mind merits the confidence OF
the citizens, and who if nominated
and elected would render the con-
stituency honest and able service
as well as do honor to himself.
Whoever the nominee, the honor
should be bestowed and accepted
upon an equally high plane and al
together freed from personal differ
ences, in that the dignity of the Of
fee be preserved"
