Electricity is Anaesthetic.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 10. Years
of investigation by noted surgeons
for a perfect anaesthetic, which
would have no detrimental effect
on the heart or other vital organs
of the patient, apparently has been
at last rewarded.
Electricity has come to the relief
of the surgeons, and investigations
going on here and abroad, which
have just been made public, show
that electricity is far superior to
any of the drugs now used to pro-
duce analgesia.
This discovery, if confirmed by
future investigations, and there
seems to be no reason that it will
not be, is one of the greatest boons
to humanity of modern times. 1t
will mean a revolution of modern
methods of surgery. Persons suf-
fering from diseases that call for
operations, but who cannot get re-
lief through danger of death if put
under ether or chloroform, will now
be able to be cured.
Electricity, when used as an ana
esthetic, has no bad effects on the
heart. 1t produces a state of in
sensibility by acting on the nerve
centers of the brain that is called
electric sleep" The sleep is not
fatal. and when the electric circuit
is opened, the influence of the ana
esthetic is Immediately lost and the
patient becomes conscious without
feeling any of the after effects
common to a drug anaesthetic.

Poultry Notes.

Warm cooked food is always a
help in egg laying.
An ounce of ground fresh bone
daily is enough for ten hens.
Too much sloppy food is injuri-
Gus, even to little chickens.
With all classes of fowls the ear
ly meal is the most important.
Air Stacked lime busted every
where is cheap and will destroy
lice, gapes and roup.
Pekin Ducks develop early and
are good market fowls.
The breed that grows quickly and
takes on flesh easily is the one for
early market purposes.
Good facilities, good management
and good markets are of more i'm
portance than the breed of fowls.
A sufficient number of cocks in
any flock is enough, too many a
dear luxury.
Ground floors are the best for
poultry, hence there is no advaht-
age in making the poultry house
two stories high.
An egg contains about all the
constituents of a human body,
qence the hen must have a variety
of food to construct Tx.
How to Remove Grease Spots.
Alcohol and salt kept in a bottle
rubbed on the spots of grease with
a flannel cloth thoroughly and
then sponge with hot water will re-
move grease.
Borax dissolved in soft water
and applied with sponge or white
flannel will remove fresh grease
spots on WOODEN goods.
Spirits of turpentine will remove
paint spots Benzine and chloro-
form are also effective and will not
injure the goods.
Sponeins with hot water softens
and cleanses the spots before the
application of the oil absorbents
will secure the best results Sue

The Origin of News"

In an issue of January II, ap-

been used in the sense of tidings by

CHURCHMEN TO
 ENFORCE LAWS
Mems Clubs of All Denominations Will Join in New Movement
 in New Haven.

New Haven. May 19.-Plans for the federation of the local Episcopal church clubs which will be completed at a meeting tonight of the fourteen representatives from the various Epis- cOpal churches, at St. Paul'S church, will complete the movement for the federation of all of the church clubs in this city of various denominations. The most important part of the whole movement was announced last night, when S. c. Fleetwood, head of the Episcopal federation movement. stated that a confederation of all Protestant church clubs is next in order. f
 The fact that a large religious body is to be formed to become interested in public affairs makes the whole move ment one of the most important ever planned in connection with church work. It was stated that one of the first steps to be taken by the new body when it is formed next week will be the demand for the executive commit tee of the confederation for the impar- tial enforcement of all the laws of the city
 Mr. Fleetwood. who has been chosen chairman of the meeting, stated last night that there is no possible cornec- tiOn between the new body and pOli- tics. although the confederation will take up important matters of local in terest. The object it Is stated, will be for the moral uplift of the people. This will be the first religious body to take matters of this kind. or to be formed, in this way, in the State.

The suggestion that convicts be used In road-maiing. is made. It is advo- cated by the Hartford Courant with the argument that. first of all, noth- Ing is worse for the prisoner than to do nothing. and. second. there is no other occupation in which it is so sure that there can be no complaint that the convict is getting in the way of khe honest. law-abiding laborer" Both points are well-founded. In road making. convict labor would not de- prive honest iaborers of employment, except upon larger works where Ital- tans are used
 The objections. if they may be called Euch. are that the prison authorities, or the State or county. would be com pelled to provide large making equipments. and to considerably in- crease the number of guards: that the system would rule out private contrac- tors. and that rural communities would dislike the presence of convicts in their vicinities. Possibly. some of the critics of the Highway Commits sioner would deny his possession of sufficient executive ability to direct such extensive operations. All these objections could of course be met.
 Very excellent results might be ob- tained. but the system would be promptly stigmatized as "eonvict la bor'. and sensational writers would soon raise the "chain gang cry.

SHERMAN DEFENDS
 TAFT AND ALDRICH ' PAYNE TARIFF LAW
Especial from United Press.)

' Kalamazoo. Mich. May 19.-Enthu- siastically defending President Taft to whom he referred as President who doesn't try to deceive the peo- ple," and 70. King" the Aldrich- Payne tariff law, which he claims has been misrepresented and lied about, Vice-President James s. Sherman here today. In a lengthy speech he insisted that the popular prejudice against the tariff law was entirely due to erroneous and false statements as to it's details and effect.
 He compared President Taft by in- ference with Former President Roose- welt to the advantage of the former and insisted that all statements and figures promulgated by Taft are sure to be authoritative and official" i"
 The election of a Democratic House, Sherman insisted, would mean not the repudiation of the recently enacted tariff law but of the Republican doe Urine of protection. In part he said:
 "A tariff law of some sort is neces- sary to carry on our government. Practically all Americans agree that we must obtain a large part of our revenue from customs dues. Opinions vary as to the degree of duties to be imposed for protection but we differ less I think, than is commonly under stood.
 sCould we for day lay aside all issues. ignore the money question, the spectre of negro domination, the reign of corporations, the matter of court procedure and all other state and na- tional issues and have an election on the issue of protection and free trade I believe almost if not quite all of the states would give a majority for pro- tection
 eve have opened a campaign for the control of the next House. The tariff law, which we are now operating, will be the principal issue of the cam paign. Were it thoroughly understood and not misrepresented by erroneous and false statements, continued Re- publican supremacy in Congress would be as sure as the rising of the sun. A Republican majority was construed as an endorsement of protection and of that law. A Democratic majority will mean condemnation.
 President Taft has moved steadily forward on the path of duty. Without reflection on any predecessor smay say he is less spectacular and osten- tatious than any President for terms. He is bringing about in a quiet way, without great frietions, many forms of government service that are not given in a spectacular way.
 ''Let me say to you that your Pres ident does not try to deceive the peo- pie. When he makes statements or presents figures you may be sure they are authoritative and official.''
