MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury in Bride Quiz.

Danville, Ill.-Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
cision in the case of City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to decision Of the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury is
immune from Indictment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t Is
said that many indictments have been
voted but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.

COLD FINE HAIR RESTORER
Explorer ShackIeton Asserts Trip to
Polar Regions Is Best Remedy
Germs Absent.

London-If you would have good
crop of hair-go to the Polar regions.
Extreme cold, it appears, is one OF
the remedies for Strengthening hair.
Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarc-
tic explorer, said:
"All of the men who went with me
on the South Pole expedition, with
one or two exceptions, possessed
stronger crops of hair on their return
to civilization"
Extreme cold strengthens ones
hair
"As our party approached nearer
the South Pole our hair grew more
slowly, but became thicker and
stronger"
A well-known London doctor said
that one reason why ones hair would
grow quicker in the Antarctic was
the total absence of germs and other
impurities which abound in all civil
lied countries
An official of London cold storage
company said that they had not q

perature of 20 degrees OF frost, and
the cold undoubtedly makes their hair

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

periods of my life. The first time of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for year or more that my nails

ton and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes 1t
was so painful that I had to use
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inf1ammations resulted in the
loss of the nail. / had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at

FIND A PREHISTORIC STAMP
Official Seal Uncovered by Sand Dig
gers of AtzcapozaIco-Wax Cling
ing to Face.

New York.-One of the most re-
markable archaeological and ethnolog-
ical discoveries made in Mexico since
Prof. William Niven found the famous
clay tablets of life and death down in
the jungles of Guerrero, has been
made amid the buried pile of petrified
idols uncovered by the sand diggers Of
Atzcapozalco
This find consists of nothing less
than an official SEAL or stamp, used
by some prehistoric emperor or king
in affixing his o. K to papers of state
The discovery was made about 18
feet beneath the surface of the old
river, or lake bed, which exists near
the pretty suburb above named. This
stream or pool has long been dead,
the waters having been diverted by
nature in another direction, so that
now it is merely basin of gravel
overlaid with sand
The artifact, which is about two
inches in diameter, and in a perfect
state of preservation, is remarkable
for the fact that it contains, on the
side used for stamping, several con-
centric circles at the margin, then a
ring of hieroglyphics much resemb-
ling the characters of the ancient Rus
sian alphabet, and around the center
three more concentric rings

Assertion That American Style of Pro
tecting Export Shipments Is
Faulty Denied.

Paris.-The widespread claim that
American goods intended for export
are the worst packed in the world has
done more to hurt American foreign
trade than any other dozen criticisms,
according to James e. Dunning, Amer
lean consul at Havre, France. The
charge is utterly unjustified, it is said.
Comparisons of American goods with
the products of other countries on the
wharves tf the great ports of Europe
fail to show any negligence In boxing,
Grating or wrapping. In many ways
American methods of packing are
more practical than others, because
while protecting the goods as much as
is necessary, they yet leave them open
for easy inspection.
THE one example eternally cited as
proof of the assertion that our goods
are badly packed" said Mr.. Dunning,
is baled cotton. The casual observer,
seeing a pile of American cotton on
the wharf, looking torn and dirty, the
cotton itself exposed to dust and
weather, is quick to draw conclusion.
