GALVESTON, Texas, June TO-
Through protests from twenty thou
sand Texas women the proposed i'm

The Military Salute.

All salutes. from taking off the hat
to presenting arms, originally implied
respect or submission. OF military sa-
lutes, raising the right hand TO the
head is generally believed to have orig
mated from the days of the tourns''
ment, when the knights filed past the
throne of the queen of beauty and bJ
way of compliment raised their hands
to their brows to imply that her beauty
was too dazzling for unshaded eyes to
gaze upon.
The officers salute with the sword
has a double meaning. The first posi-
tion, with the hilt opposite the lips, Is
a repetition of the crusaders action in
kissing the cross hilt of his sword in
token Of faith and fealty. while lower
ing the point afterward implies either
submission or friendship, meaning in
either case that 1t is no longer neces-
sary to stand on guard. Raising the
hand to the forehead has also been eX.
planned as n sign that the weaponed
hand is empty and in an inoffensivc
position. but this reason does not seem
so convincing as the others.

FREE AGAIN

Peter Dietrich after standing trial
four times for the killing of James a.

fourth trial, held in LuZerne county
ON change of venue, on September
26, 1908, was found guilty of ''volun-
tary manslaughter" and later was
sentenced to one years imprisonment
in the Luzerne county Jail. -
::::Peter got full benefit of the law of
communication and his term was reduc-
ed two months. He was released from
prison last Saturday and spent his first
day of freedom in Wilkes Barre. He
came to Danville Monday, register
ing at the Baldy House.
He is looking we'll. He says he was
kindly treated at the Luzerne county
Jail, for the greater part of the time
having charge of a gang of prisoners
who were working outside the Jail.
He has planned to remain in Dan
Vile. He will embark in some kind of
business, he says, and endeavor to be-
gin life over again.

The Elephants Revenas.

In the autobiography of Mr.. Lindley

In the year 1771 he visited the ele.

whatever motive. ventured to with
draw portion of the hay which one
of them had been collecting with his
proboscis on the floor. The little af.
front offended the sagacious animal
highly. The keeper remarked that he
would never forget, and It was obvious
from the rapid convolutions of his
trunk that he only wanted an oppor.

OF his property on the spot The gram.
marian, however. kept out of his way,

same place after an interval of several
weeks. On his occasion number of
other persons were present, but of the
whole the elephant singled out his en-
emy and aimed desperate blow al his
head. which. fortunately. neither prov
ed fatal nor took effect.

THE PRESENCE
OF CHEMICALS

DIR. +. c. Newbaker, president of
the local board of health, Yesterday
stated that in view of the epidemic of
intestinal disorder he thought it would
be advisable for all people who use hy-
drant water to boil the same before
drinking it. An order requiring that
the water be boiled has been issued by
the school board and has gone into eff
feet at the various school buildings
DIR, Newbaker is of the opinion that
1t is just as important that the water
used for drinking purposes be boiled
III the dwelling houses as in the school
buildings If town.
He is not positively convinced that
the epidemic can be traced to the wat.
er supply, but at the same time he saws
the latter is not above suspicion.
He cites the fact that the water peri
odically throws off the odor of chemic
ais and becomes highly offensive when
it is boiled. The theory entertained
by the board of health is that the
chemicals are introduced into the sew
age during the process of publication
at the disposal plant at the hospital
for the insane.

A Toothsome Revenqe.

During the reign Of Charles H., the
age of gallantry, it was the custom
among gentlemen when they drank n
lady's health in order that they might
do her still more honor to destroy at
the same time some part of their cloth
ing.
Upon one occasion Sir Charles Sed-
ley was dining in a tavern and had a
particularly fine necktie on. where
upon one of his friends to play him Il
trick drank to the health of n certHin
lady. at the same time throwing his
necktie in the fire. OF course Sir
Charles had to do likewise. but he got
even. for not long after that. dining
with the same company, he drank the
health of fair one, at the same time
ordering Il dentist whom he had Ell.
gagged to be present TO pull out re-
fractory tooth which had been trou-
bling him. Every one else was obliged
in this manner to mourn a molar.

MAZDA His Ideas EloN.

] used to write for medical peri
odlcal. On returning home one day
after a very heavy days work at the
hospital and feeling completely ex-
hausted | found note from the ed
itor. "Please let me have an article on
such and such II subject tonight"
sat down with pen and paper before
me. but not word could | write.
Then lay back lazily and began to
speculate as to the cause of my want
OF ideas. | thought: 1.-The brain is the
same as it was yesterday, but yester-
day was not tired. Perhaps it is the
feebler circulation that prevents the
brain from acting. If the blood does
not go up TO the brain | may bring the
brain down to the blood" | therefore
placed my head fat on the table, look
ing sideways at the paper, and began
to write easily. On raising my head
again every idea fed, so placed my
head again down on the table and fin
ished the article with my head in that
position.-Sir Il. Lauder Brunton in

A MENACE.

Dr. Newbaker admits that the effu-
ent from the disposal plant as dis
charged into the river may be relative
ly free from sewage, but questions
whether the presence of chemicals in
it does not make it as great a menace
to our water supply as the untreated
sewage.
Especial emphasis is placed on the
fact that before the publication plant
was installed the sewage was carried
by the pipe considerable distance out
i'll the river where it was caught up
by the current and carried down in
midstream, beyond the intake of the
water works; whereas since the in
stallation of the disposal plant the
heavy volume of effluent, carried to
the river through the big surface sew
er, drops into the stream close to the
shore where the current is scarcely
perceptible. AS viewed by the board
of health in this way our water sup
ply takes in relatively greater
amount of impurity than before.
