LOCKING UP The IURYmEN

Some OF the shabby brocade of court

For instance. the outrageous habit
of locking jurymen up. Why? Dur
ing the progress OF a civil case which
lasts three or four days jurymen can
go home nights. But when the case
is given to the jury. the jury must go
into continuous session. under lock

There is no sufficient reason why we
should not go home at the end of a

The secret of Welsh's success in long

his manager believes that this is be-

he nudges his elbow and whispers:

Remarkable Discovery Of Frenchman
Expected to Make Revolution In
Prlce-Its Advantages.

Paris.-A remarkable discovery,
which, It is believed. will make a
revolution In electric lighting, is an
nounced by a young French scientist.
NJ. Dussaud, and is making a great
sensation among experts BY its
means it is asserted that illumination
can be produced at onefiftieth part
OF the cost at present necessary.
M. Dussaud's invention consists
partly ia the repeated interruption
of low voltage current for frac-
ton Of second each time. At each
cutoff the lamp rests for an infin-
itesimal period so short that the eye
receives the impression Of continuous
light. but long enough to allow the
fiiament to cool Combined with this
intermittent current small lamps
about an inch In diameter are
used. with a hlament Of tungstenate,
which offers very little resistance 10
the current, and yet gives Hight
thirteen and a half times greater
than any of the lamps now on the
market
The consequence Of the alternate
heating and cooling Of the filament is
that the lamp remains practically
cold, the surface never rising above
40 degrees centigrade. 1t can there
fore be placed as close as is desired
to the condenser Of an optical in-
strument, thus enormously increasing
the light. With low current Hight

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
lax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start al the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. Ii my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments There are % feet Of human
bowels, which is really d sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes elogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment en- expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. IL
/ had my way would prohibit the sale
of ninetenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stollaeh, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead Of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead OF impoverish
il; the enable the stomach to get all
the noursshment from food that ia put
