his wife, for reasons of her own, was
fully imbued with the touch not.
taste not. handle not" principle.
1t is related that upon one occa-
sion Senator Thurman's friends Wis
tied his house to apprise him that Il
new political honor had been con-
ferred upon him. He was pleased
but after they had been seated a
few moments the conversation
Jagged, and the old Roman seemed
to be i'll at ease. His wife tried her
best to entertain the campaigner
and the senator excused h mself He
presently appeared with his boots
and topcoat on.
Gentlemen" said he, we will
now go out and get something to
smoke My wife is the boss here,
and we never have anything to
drink in the house"
Mrs. Thurman looked pleased as
she closed the door after them.
"As I was saying" added the SEN
ator, "she runs the house; but,
thank God, she doesn't run the
town.
There is food for thought in what
the senator said. IF the good wo-
man could run the towns" the
towns would doubtless be as free
from whisky and other vices as are
the homes.

IRON CAN

so DECLARES II. l.. KEOGH WHO
EXHIBITS METAL HE HAS MADE
1T SHOWS IRON CHARACTER
ISTICS But is COPPER.

Ottawa, Can, Aug. 17.-While he
declared that his discovery of a way
to transmute copper into iron is not
of great financial value at present,
r. L. KeUgh, of the ottawa Colleg-
late institute staff, said today that
he believed that the discovery is a
step toward the ultimate solving of
the riddle of the relationship of
metals to each other He intimated
that he might devise a way of chang
ing base metals into ones of greater
values.
For a number of years Prof. Keogh
labored at his task before making
public the result of his experiments.
"The new metal which have
made" said Prof. Keogh, answers
all tests usually applied to iron, al
though it is basically copper.
"At any time I am willing to allow
comp tent judges to undertake the
work of verifying the results of my
experiments.
81 do not think that the discovery
l have made is at present of any
financial significance. Later some
thing of greater Importance may fol-
low from the results that have al
ready obtained. l intend to continue
my researches on the transmutation
of elements"

Bohrnstedt company at Creswell and
the dynamite was handled after
wards in blasting stumps. It is
probable that the latter is more di-
rectly the cause of bringing on the
disease. 1t is a feature of the nitro
glycerine to dilate the blood vessels,
which will produce intense head
aches. Arsenic in the open air is
not very dangerous when applied
externally. However, it is a fact
that even the arsenic used in dyes
on wall paper has caused poisoning
to persons living in the rooms.
These two causes will probably re-

cause Guy Parker, of Pleasant Hin,
TO lose his life, A couple OF weeks

headaches that soon developed into
dellrlum He was brought to the
Eugene hospital and treated for
what was at first thought to be pot
soning directly from the arsenic in
the spraying material and from the
nitro glyoerine IN the dynamite, It
was seen that he could not live. for
soon after entering the hospital his
dellrlum became violent and he lost
practically al control OF his mus
cles. A few days ago he became an.
conscious and did not regain con.
sclousness until today when he was
himself only for a short time, Last
week seven physicians held a con
sultation over the patients condi-
tlon and decided after careful mves-
tigatlon that the pugzling disease
was not from direct poisoning from
the spraying material on the dyna
mite but was a case Of tubereulor

brought on by tho fumes Of the ex'
plosive and the arsenic IN the spray.
