Luz Is Said to Be Indestructible, but ls
Is Hard to Locate. ,
Much scholarship and anatomical
knowledge have been employed from
time to time in efforts to identify the
bone luz, said by ancient Hebrew
writer's to be the nucleus from which
the body is reconstructed at the resur-
rection. There are many marvellous
stories of the indestrucubility OF luz,
and the bone has been located by rival
claimants to the honor Of discovering
it in various parts Of the human skele..
ton. !;
The most careful searching of the lasr
published and amplest treatise on oste-
ology will not result in the discovery
of the bone called luz. 1t will be nee.

to be bone which cannot be Destroy

nor be broken or bruised by any force.
Its site is in the spine from the elgnt-
eenth vertebra to the femur.
I'VE read that the Emperor Hadr1an
once asked Rabbi Joshua, the son
of Chanm, how God would resurrecI
man in the world to come. He made

an anvil and struck with a hammer
the anvil was broken in sunder. but
the bone remained intact" Hieronymus
Magius represents that. according 10
the Talmudists, the real bone is near
the base of the skull, whether 1t be IN
the base itself or in the spine. Vesaiius
writes that this ossicle is described by
the Arabs as resembling chick pea In
size and shape. and Cornelius Agrippa
describes it as "magnitudine clcerls

HOLY WRIT QUOTED
BY OHIO SENATOR
Mr.. Burton Suspicious of Close
AffiIiation Between Repub-
Leans and Democrats.

WASHINGTON. july 1o,-The tangible
political affiliations In the present tariff
revision and reciprocity struggle in the
senate have evoked host Of sarcastic
illusions In the debate. The breaking
down OF party lines has reminded som
ators OF the lions and tie lambs, and
the wolves and the sheep: the pharisees
and the publicans.
The bids OF one element for some sup
port for another caused Senator Burton
OF Ohio an ardent administration sup
porter, TO remark that he was pleased
at the sort OF mutual admiration So
ciety manifested here among members on
different sides OF The aIsles.'' He con-
tended that Senator Bailey OF Texas
(Dcm.) and Senator Dixon OF Montana

amendment OF the reciprocity bill, WED

desirous that any manifestation of af-
fec;ion should ne between persons rather

A WARMING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regard
ing Health Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
tion of the kidneys
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness makes chemical analysis
Of the patient s urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot be
brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow According to health
statistics, Bright's disease, which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1910, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore. if behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success As a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmers swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation is soon realized II stands
the highest fot its remarkable record
of cures.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention, and wish sample bot
