Physicians Puzzled by Two
School Children.
Youngsters Reverse Every Letter and
Word on Paper-Bo 9th Are Left
Handed-Riddle Difficult Of
Solution by Experts.

Cleevland.-Two true cases OF So
called mirror writing have been
found among pupils Of the public
schools by physicians engaged in TAX
ing a census of left-handed children.
Cleveland medical men are puzzling.
Both pupils are left-handed. One is
a boy, six years old. He entered the
first grade last September.
In writing, the boy holds the pencil
In his left hand. begins at the right
hand side of the paper and writes ev-
cry letter and word reversed.
The physician who discovered him
wrote the word ALI on a sheet Of
paper. and the boy could not pro-
nounce it. The physician then wrote
la on the sheet, reversing the let
tiers SO that they would show properly
only In q mirror, and the boy pro-
nounced 1t all" The physician
learned the boys mother also is left
handed.
Under the direction OF the physician
the teacher is gradually %instructing
the boy in putting letters and words
on paper in their proper position. The
task OF teaching him to read sentences
printed from left to right is more diff
fcult.
A less complicated case Is that Of a
girl. an eleven-year-old pupil In the
NTH grade. She entered the public
school three years ago, having spent
some time in a p%arochial school. She
was left-handed, and wrote from right
to left. with words and letters re
versed.
Under constant instruction she
learned to use her right hand in writ
Ing, and at the same time was taught
to put the letters and words in proper
position, from left to right.
The physician who discovered her
case said she is able to use either
hand IN writing now. When she uses
the right hand, her writing is normal.
But when she uses the left hand, the
old popularity asserts itself, words
and letters r reversed and the SEN
tence can be read only by holding it
up to a mirror.
1t was suggested that the cause of
this condition lies in the fact that
these pupils are unable to visualize
properly the images which strike the
eye.
All images, it was said. are really
inverted and are turned in the
proper position by an unconscious
mental process. This explanation,
physicians contend, would not explain
the case OF the girl who has learned
to e objects as other children see
them.

Should Convince Every Walhalla
Reader.

The frank statement of a neighbor,
telling the merits Of a remedy,
Bids you pause and believe.
The same endorsement
By some stranger far away
Commands no belief at all.
Here's a Walhalla case.
A Walhalla citizen testifies.
Read and be convinced:
Mrs. Ida Hellams, Factory Hill,
Walhalla, S. c., says: 1--WE have used
Doan's Kidney Pills in our family
with excellent results, and I know
that they live up to the claims made
for them. They were obtained from
Dr.. Bells drug store and used for
pains in the back and sides and trou-
Bile with the kidney secretions. Com
plete and lasting relief was received"
Mrs. Hellams is only one Of many
Walhalla people who have greatfully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for Doan's
Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Hell
lams had-the remedy backed by
home testimony. Soc, all stores.

Walhalla wins.
The basket ball game between the
girls team of the Westminster High
School and the Walhalla High School
on Friday afternoon resulted in a
victory for the Waihc'la S'r!s. The
score at the end of the first half was
10 to 7 in Walhallas fator. In the
second half Westminst, scored 8
points and Walhalla ID, making the
total score rs to IS, in favor of Wal
halla.
The game was the most warmly
contested yet won by our girls, and
although the score would not seem to
indicate it, the teams were evenly
matched. The Westminster girls
were probably superior in passing the
ball, but this was offset by the quick
ness and accurate goal throwing OF
the Walhalla team.
The scoring was as follows:
Westminster-Field goals, Annie
Cobb 8, Jessie Tannery 4; trial
goals, Jessie Tannery 4.
Walhalla-Field goals, Ida Bic

goals, ida Biemann 2.

Progressives' Small Showing.

The progressives have representatives
in but sixteen state legislatures, the COM
bined representation being only 1873, while
in the same legislatures the republicans
have O65 members. In Rooseyelts state
of New York the progressives have only
FIVE representatives in the legislature.
while there are fifty-nine republicans; in
Tafts state of Ohio there are only five
progressives, but there are thirty mine re-
publican members.
IT is reasonable TO assume that the re-
Mobilization of the republican party will
come about by the operation of natural
causes rather than through any me-
chanical scheme of reorganization al
though by general consent the way will
he made as easy as possible for the re-
VOTERS to return.
One of the natural causes referred to
will be the spirit of opposition TO national
democratic policies. and the fact that the
only party in evidence in opposition to
the democratic party in Congress will be
the republican party. Thus. the republic
can party will have an enormous vantage
ground in the mere matter of publicity
and IL will have the tactical advantage of
being right on the spot. drawing TO it
self the accretion of dissatisfaction with
the democratic administration and poll

Mr.. Boyle's Argument.

Mr.. Boyle, in the course of his argu-
ment. says:
Taking political conditions as they are.
and giving due consideration to the trend
of the times-whether from a radical or
conservative standpoint = the conclusion
seems irresistible: ID That there must
be reunion of the two divisions of the
historic republican party in order to beat
the democrats and ca that the growth of
the progressive party, based on the per
sonality of Col Roosevelt. is hopeless.
There are now only three state gov
ernors who class themselves as members
of the progressive party-GOv. Johnson OF
California, Gov. Carey of Wyoming and
Gov. Byrne of South Dakota, and the two
former were elected in 1910. long before
the progressive party was thought of It
will be remembered that seven governors
Endorsed the candidacy Of Roosevelt for
the republican nomination for President)
There are now fifteen governors who
are listed as republicans. Gov. Byrne of
South Dakota was the only state officer
elected by the progressiyes last November
outside of Judge Wanamaker of the Ohio
supreme court. who was nominated by
petition as an independent. although it is
fair to say that he had been very active
in the formation of the progressive party
and received its Endorsement as candi-
date. As TO Gov. Byrne. there was no re-
publican opposition to him.

Statement by Politi-

SENDS OUT ARGUMENT
JAMES BOYLE MAKES
Growth of Progressives Based on
Roosevelt's Personality De-
clared Hopeless.

Harry VI. Daugherty. chairman of the
Ohio republican state executive commit
tee. has sent out circular letter to "the
faithful of the "old guard OF the re-
publican party, inclosing James NJ Boyle's
argument affirming that the republican
party will come back"
His letter says:
After the recent election l thought
the wisest policy to pursue was that of
acquiescence. and to abstain for a time
at any rate from public discussion of
the causes of the defeat of the party,
knowing that time and consideration
would clearly show the real reason why
the party was not successful. A divided
party could not have succeeded, and, con-
sidering the bolt, ii was easy enough for
the democratic party to succeed.
