 He was asked to search the overcoat and to his astonishment found the scab- bard The defense claimed that the scab- bard indicated that Carmack carried the revolver in his overcoat pocket, not in lis hip pocket as the state contends
 The bullet espisode was important. too The state contended that Carmack never fired shot; that Colonel Cooper. shoot ing at Carmack, unintentionally shot his son.

DANGER IN POSTAL
 SAVINGS BANKS

Washington. February 2.-Should the postal savings bank bill become a law it would greatly endanger, if not destroy, incomes to the amount of hundreds of mill lions of dollars. This was the opinion expressed today by Senator Hepburn. The Idaho senator was engaged in general discussion of the bill in connection with an amendment presented by Senator Shoot for the regulation of the removal of postal savings deposits from banks.
 He contended that inasmuch as the fund under the bill would reach fully s700.O0O ,00O 1t would enable the board of trustees to dictate the rate of interest throughout the country.
 Tn other words, the government pur- poses to go into the loaning business, ,' he said, and intends to fix the rate of in- terest at 2N per cent.''

imitation stone is practically extin-

sparkles even under water and is dis

Over 1000 years ago an elaborate

the Egyptians to purify the waters Of
the Nile. In both Rome and Athens hot
water was drunk in preference to
cold by the small minority who used
water for drinking purposes. Cham

habit of drinking hot water was
spreading among all classes in France.
Some warm it by holding it over the
fire. Others dip burning bread into IT.

and the less wealthy bar of hot iron,

Three Things White Person Must

the midst of the jungle-one must

woven stuff through which no air cir

When the mosquito bar was let
down it took in almost the entire rOOm
but it proved especially useful in sick
ness and cOnvalescence. 1t permitted
existence free from insect bites. As
malaria is the white mans mostf,in-
sidious foe and comes from the bite
of the mosquito, every precaution must
be taken against it. Three things are

They didn't give a bit and were an
excellent dancing floor for the dried
plantain leaves which made the mat

every night it was continuous leaf

leaves on the move, so that most Of

pillow was of dried sweet smelling
grass. Whoever says that hard beds
