"The Star SpangIed Banner"
Perhaps the most romantic story OF
any of these national songs Is that con-
neeted with the "Star Spangled BBan-
ner," which was written BY Francis
Scott Key while witnessing the BON
bardment of Fort McHenTy from a Brit
ish manOfwar which lay in front OF the
fort. There is no authentic story OF
the composition OF this song, but we have
an account of its origin from RIB.
Tanev. who was afterward chief justice
or the supreme court Judge 1anev
was a brotherinlaw OF Francis Scott
Key. 1t seems that Mr. Kew went out
TO the manofwar In order to request the
release OF a Dr. Beanes who had been
seized by the British and was kept on
that ship Mr. Key was one of the doc
tors intimate friends. He was a lawyer
by profession and was a resident OF
Georgetown, living in a house near the
Aqueduct bridge, which Is still marked
with his name. Mr.. Kew was courteous
" received by admiral Cochrane and his
Officers, but thew refused for some time
to release DR.. Beanes, and before thew
did so the bOmbardment began. It was
then impossible for Mr.. Key TO leave the
fleet. and he was told that he would
be detained until the attack on Ba1ti-
more. which was about to be made, was
over.
In his story of the song to Judge
Taney, Mr.. Key described the scene the
night of the bombardment. during which
he remained on deck watching every
shell from the moment it was fired until
it fell.
while the bombardment continued it
was sufficient proof that the fort had
not surrendered But It suddenly ceased
some time before day. and as thew had
no Communication with any of the enc
my's ships Key did not know whether
the fort had surrendered or the attack
uDOn It been abandoned He paced the
deck for the residue OF the night in
painful suspense, watching with intense
anxiety for the return of day and look
ing every few minutes at his watch TO
see how long he must wait for it: and
rs soon as it dawned. and before it was
light enough to see objects at a distance
his glasses We're turned 10 the fort, I'M
certain whether he should see there the
Stars and Stripes or the flag of the
enemy At length the light came. and
he saw that our flag was still there

deaths to each one thousand patients
That is two hundred per thousand under
drugs and knife to one patient under
Osteopathy. No wonder Dr.. Jones, the
great Typhoid fever specialist, said be-
fore the convention of doctors at Wash
ington, that he couldn't take the dope
he used to give his patients and live
himself, and that he (the great special
ist) used to lose from rs to 200 out Of
1146 patients-while now by the use OF
Osteopathy he had only lost one out Of
1146 patients. Can you get around this
sIedqe hammer fact? No wonder the
physicians for the king and royal family
of England have sent one of their num-
Der over here, DR.. Arnold, to study
Osteopathy. And Gov. COlquftt of Texas
has appointed two Osteopaths Medical
Examiners for the state Of Texas. And
forty three states have now passed laws
recognizing it, and appointed entire med
zeal boards of Osteopath doctors, or a
part of them For the dope and stimu-
liant medical doctors is now dead
profession. And osteopathy is taking
the world. 1t now has over seven thou
sand Osteopathic doctors, and hundreds
of medical doctors are now rushing TO its
colleges and studying It. The reason is
IT is natures only way And it cures
the greatest percent Of every kind Of
disease of any other method ever dis
covered. So that any other method
cannot compare with it in any disease.
That is why it is taking the world
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-07-01

So long as the nerve is congested and
deadened and pressed on at the spine, it
allows stagnant blood to accumulate in
the part it goes to- And produces disease
in that part by the decaying acid condi-
ton Of the blood in that part. If you
try to whip up this shriyeled, weakened
nerve by an irritant, such as poisonous
drugs, stimulants, electricity, or poison
Gus injections from diseased animals, you
exhaust what little vitality it has left,
and death is the result. A lady in FL
Paso had been weakened by typhoid
fever. She wanted tomato catsup-the
acid of the vinegar would have been good
+ for her, as it would have fermented the
stagnant blood and kept it dissolving and
passing through the kidneys. That is
why lemonade or any other fruit juice is
good in Typhoid fever, Yellow fever or
any other disease; or TO prevent them.
But there was some pepper in the tomato
catsup This irritated the heart into in
temperate activity, the same as the
poison of any drug, or stinulant, or
electricity would, and she died. If this
little bit of pepper or equal amount of
any kind of dope, had been given her by
a professional doper to whip her heart
into activity, he would have said the
disease had done it, and ''kind Prdvi-
denee IN his wisdom had seen fit to re-
move her." I don't wonder that God
repented that he made man when he has
to take the blame for so much of their

GHosTLY BUTTERFLIES.

Hoetera piera-of British Guiana, an
insect through whose outstretched
wings any substance on which it rests
can be clearly seen.
AS we crossed a swirling creek on
the trunk of a mighty fallen tree
something fiuttered ahead. We could
not see what it was. Closer we came,
and still the object remained indis-
tinct. We seemed to see a butterfly,
and yet that appeared impossible. At
last we marked it down on a fern
frond and crept up Until our eyes
were within two. feet of It. Nothing
was visible but the graceful lacework
of the frond until slanting beam of
sunlight struck 1t, and there, close

Mans Admiration for
a Lovely Complexion
(Women's Events)

Mere man has a decided weak
ness for the woman possessing a
naturally lovely complexion. They
only endure" the made up"
woman and they never can under
stand why a woman persists in
patching up her face with pow
ders and paints and makeshifts
of that sort. Therefore, the
clever women have entirely fore
sworn the old methods of tenn
porary identifying and are scien-
tifically acquiring good complex
ions that are their own. and
therefore far more beautiful than
the made up faces of their less
clever sisters. Cold creams and
lotions are a back number. Per
manent benefit can only result
from some drastic specific like
coleafed balsam. This has alter
alive properties and is both a cor
rective and a restorative. Get an
ounce and a half of pure colated
balsam of your druggist and ap-
ply each night. Almost electric
ally 1t will act upon your skin.
Pimples, liver spots, sallowness
and blemishes will disappear and
your complexion will become as
brilliant and clear as it was in
{ childhood.
