VAIHITE PLAINS, N. Y, July
wv 26.-Alienists today began
their slow march across the
stage in the Thaw case.
The efforts of Stanford Whites
slayer to obtain his release from
the Matteawan asylum are culmi-
mating in the testimony of the ex-
perts called to prove him sane
and when they are through the
prisoner will take the stand him
self.
In two respects the hearing was
a reminder of Thaw's two trials
for killing White. District Attor-
ney Jerome of New York, at the
request of the attorney generals
office, appeared and took entire
charge of the states case. Mr..
Jerome and Thaw sat so close to-
gether that their chairs touched
but if the prisoner had any fear
of the man who prosecuted him,
his face did not show it.
All but one of the witnesses
were Thaw's today and his
equanamity was undisturbed. At
times he and Mr.. Jerome chatted
and smiled like old friends reunit-
ed. The other familiar feature
was DIR. Britton d. Evans of the
New Jersey state insane asylum,
at Morris Plains, famous for his
introduction at the trials of the
term ''brain storm"
DR.. Evans was on the stand
when court adjourned. He testi-
fed that Thaw has not now and

True PythianiSm.

The following able address was
delivered by Mr.. Frank Smith
before Tahkoestee Lodge No.
1876, K. P, at Fletcher, Monday
night. It is needless to say it
was keenly enjoyed by the large
audience present.
81 am sure that each one of
us know what true Pythianism
means. It means to be true and
faithful to the order of Knights
of Pythias and it's principles.
Anyone who joins the Pythian
order must be willing to be true
and faithful to the same. Be
true and loving to our brothers.
This is just like the little maxim:
IF you have friends you must
first be one" so also if we have
brothers of our order we must
first be one. We as a band Of
J co-workers are united together
by a tie of friendship to bring
us closer together. What plea
sure would we have in this life,
living apart from our fellow-men
as they did in days gone by?
am proud to know that such an
organization as the Knights OF
!Pythias has arisen for those who
Join this order, it brings him in
closer touch with his fellow
worker, and changes his way Of
living. and especially if he com
phys with it's principles. My
brothers in order to keep oul
!, organization together, we mus
prepare ourselves in such a way
that we may be truer PythlanE
Lets each one of our order from
now, henceforth, to try to bt
, truer Pythians than we eve
have in the past. 1t is not mean
for us to live for ourselves alone
= but to live for one another also
; l would be glad that we all coul'
! live such a life that when tn
time has come for the whit
robed Angel of Heaven to visi
us we may be able to say as Pau

Beautiful Women


Bad stomachs mean bad blood; bad
blood means sallow, unattractiye
skin.
Why? The stomach in a healthy
condition separates the nutritious
matter from the food and gives it to
the blood to supply the entire body
with nourishment.
If the stomach Is not in a healthy
condition it does not separate from
the food the nutritious matter and it
passes off with the waste.
Thus the blood Is impoverished and
has not sufficient nourishment to sup
ply the muscles, skin and body gener-
ally.
II you have belching of gas, distress
after eating, nausea, biliousness, ner-
yousness or foul breath, then your
stomach Is wrong and you want the
best prescription for stomach troubles
the world has ever known.
