WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS
PhysicIan's Method May Have Been
All Right, but Here He was
at Fault.

We are told that the latest sensa-
ton in the medical world is the asser-
ton of a doctor that he is able, by
looking into a patients eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis of the complaint
which the patient is suffering. But is
this really as novel as it is supposed
to be? recollect hearing some time
ago of a doctor who said to a patient
who was under examinations: II can
see by the appearance of your right
eye what is the matter with you. You
are suffering from liver"
my right eyer" asked the patient.
"Yes." returned the doctor. 1T
shows me plainly that your liver Is
out of order"

of life in this effort to open a new
world to the slaves to Rev. Samuel
Bacon, an American minister OF the
Episcopal church.
BY act of congress, on March 3.
1919, the president was empowered to
create an agency in Africa for the
purpose of providing an asylum for
such Africans as should be liberated
by our ships of war from vessels
seized for violation of the law sup
pressing the trafiic in slaves.
The government decided to send out
the ship Of war Cyane and the trans
port Elizabeth with mechanics and Ia
borers under two agents for the pur'
pose of breaking ground for the re.
ception of liberated slaves. On Janu'
airy 8. 1920. having previously been IN
the service of the colonization society,
Bacon received from President Mon.
roe the commission making him the
head of the proposed expedition.
Thirty-nine families, comprehendine
80 families made up the company
Great difficulty was experienced in
finding not only a place Of settlement,
but even one Of debarkation.
A species of African fever appeared
among the members of the little band
of settlers. Soon rs Of the party were

der the labors he had assumed Bacon

malady in himself. The remedies

Soldier of Fortune May Lose Rights

Of q professor in the University Of
Athens and returned to America In
time to take up newspaper work at
the outbreak Of the Spanish-American
war.
He was able to speak several Ian
guages huently. and especially Span
ish. There was q great demand for
news from Cuba. and the genius Of
Nelken led him to make translations
from Spanish and Cuban newspapers.
for which he found ready market with
the Washington correspondents. His
success prompted him to fake" when
his news sources became exhausted.
One Of these fakes" was a dispatch
which he put forth all over the coun.
try, telling in most dramatic manner
Of the attempted assassination Of Gen.
eral Blanco, who was then governor
general Of Cuba, and which caused q
great deal Of excitement at the time.
Not long ago the captain turned up
in Constantinople and became involved
in some trouble there which prompted
him to demand the protection of the
the American flag. He presented his
case at the embassy. and in endeav-
oring to establish the fact that he was
a naturalized American citizen. some
disclosures came to light regarding his
papers which led the American charge
to refer the matter to the state de-
partment.
The department in turn made in
quiry at the district court, with the re-
suit that an order was issued requiring
him to show cause within sixty days
why his papers should not be can
celed.

intentional leasing of the room to both
the women and the city. The build
Ing is owned by McCombs Bros. One
member Of the firm rented the room to
the ladies for rummage sale. The
other rented it to the city for the use

Had 1t not been for the CASTOR wear
ing apparel, hats of an ancient vintage
shoes that were the worst for wear,

that arrived at the place simultan-
eously with the ladies, it might have
been suspected that women's suffrage
had arrived in Iowa.
The women, enough Of them to prac-
tically fill the little room, flocked into
the place, bringing with them all sorts
Of cast off raiment. They had rented
the room; that was all there was to 1t
and they did not propose to give up
possession to mere men until con-
WINGED that they should. The con-
vincing required some time, and as the
confusion incidental thereto was con-
siderable, w. F. Koontz, a member OF
the uoard, declined to serve longer,

secured to take his place Since then
registration has continued quietly and
undisturbed.
