with the matter. On returning home
another ju-ju was invoked. with the
result that the son confessed that both

that they had killed and eaten seven

Strangely enough, people accused OF

APPENDICITIS FROM WATER?
French Scientific Review Says That
Wine Drinkers Seem Immune.

That appendicitis is due to water
drinking is the remarkable theory put
forward by leading scientific review
of Paris. France The statistics col
lected tend to show that only one IN 2o
wine drinkers is attacked by the maia-
dy, while 10 per cent. of water drinkers
are said to be victims.
1t is also pointed out that appendicitis
has become vastly more frequent, es-
pecially among the we'll to do classes,
since water drinking has become RASH
ionable-namely. during the last %
years-and the remarkable case is clted
of family of Is of whom six, who are
water drinkers, had to be operated upon
while the others were immune.
The tehory offered by several proml-
nent medical men to account for these
facts is not that water contains a mi-
crobe which may cause the complaint,
for many sufferers drink mineral or
boiled water, but that wine is an anti
septic and keeps down the bacilli, when,
when they became too numerous, may
cause appendicitis.
From these data the public is drawing
the conclusion that total abstinence is
an exaggerated virtue, even from SCI
entific point of view.-The Argus.

Argentine MiIlionaires.

Thirty or 40 years ago land was the
drug or the market in the Argentine.
Almost any of the hereditary land
owners We're willing to exchange
generous handful of acres for a pair of
the leather trousers of the country,
but the trouble was that the men who
had he leather trousers also posses
sed ,anre land themselves than they
could ever think of using. Trousers
were trousers, and when a man had
them he could go about the world as
freely as any one. But land was an
impedient, a ball and chain. Times
have changed marvelously in the Ar
geEtines. The land has ready mar
ket, the poorest and most remote COM
handing SO an acre, the better around
5000 an acre. The result is that where
the country had too many ragged land
paupers it has now too many million
aires Instead of half-naked artistic
|ierats, it has arstocrats who have set
a pace in spending that has caused
Baeaos Ayres to become known as the
new world. The cost of living has
mounted so high that it overtops any
thing else of the kind III civilization.
The problems of prosperity are some
times more yexatious than the prob
lens of poverty, What shall be done
to rescue Argentina from millionaires
who spend ST. freely that necessities
come near to climbing beyond the
reach of the wage and the salary earn
ers? 1t is a question for time to an
swer. and possible time will answer
by returning some of these Million
aires to the state where they Will long
for leather trousers and long in vain.

LOOKING FOR WATER WITH a

Belief in the Diving Rod Has Come
Down to Us From Ages Long Past
and Has Many Defenders.

Because of the long drought which
dried up streams, ponds, springs ana
wells thousands of new wells have been
dug and are being dug in all the terri
tory around Kansas City. Some of those
wells struck water. Many were dust
holes.
1t costs to sink a well and so there is
always a great deal of hesitation and
calculation, and careful inquiries and
looking over the ground before man
begins the outlay attendant upon the
sinking of we'll If water is not reach
ed the money spent in putting down the
well is wasted.
And so there are in almost every rural
community men who claim to possess
special powers and gifts in locating UNI
derground veins of water. These men
are called water witches" and they
work with various devices.
Some of them are well diggers by pro-
fession; they undertake first to locate
the subterranean flow of water by d.
vining rod and then to sink the well for
so much per foot If water is found, and
no pay if it is a dry hole
There are many skeptical persons who

water witches, that hole dug 40 or
60 feet into the earth anywhere Will
strike a water flow eight times In ten,
and that a well digger who guaranteed

strike water.

tree to locate a subterranean water vein
will probably be Il mooted question al
ways. The art, or fraud, or whatever II
is, of divining hidden water by witch
hazel prong has come down from ages
long past. The Encyclopedias speak OF
it as a species of witchcraft and its
practitioners as charlatans but many
scientists have written accounts of see
ing the divining rod work successfully.
1t is agreed by all who put faith in
divining rods that they will work only
in the hands of certain persons. A nat

deeply interesting. He touched briefly
on the tariff question, but dwelt on
welcoming to the city of Augusta those
present. At the conclusion of his speech
he was given great burst of APP

explained clearly the conditions in

Red MAKE. wilma Workers?

If you feel lazy, put on red hat and
wake up. In case you still refuse to
work. try a red necktie. also. AS the
wearing of these is not an infallible
cure, If there is still a desire to sit
down and loaf or to play instead of
work, put on red shirt That is said to
be enough to knock laZiness out of the
most shiftess. Spondy lotherapy does it.
All who are not familiar with spondy-
lotherapy may have a few minutes OF
the class time to look it up anywhere
in the history of curious tribes of the
earth. There is an American association
for the study of spondylotherapy, but
that does not prove much. The red shirt
is said to prove a great deal The asso-
citation gravely promulgates the infor-
nation that the laborer who wears red
shirt is a hustler, so full of energy that
he just cannot help working hard. 1t is
a crime to cut his hours of duty down to
eight a day, because the poor man suffers
for the chance to do more work because
he wears a red shirt 1t is couple of
winks worse than the belief in the blue
glass for curing the measles. A woman
who wears a red hat may walk all over
the shopping district and go home without
fatigue or anything else. Such is the be-
lief of students of spondylotherapy.
Even a bit of red ribbon tied in the but
tonhole helps some, and the red sweater
means that the girl who wears 1t is a
hummer every hour of the long day in
the fall when chestnuts are ripe.
Do not wear yellow or stand near in
contemplation of 1t, for that color Gains
the nerves, enervates the brain and stu
pefies the whole system. DIR. Albert Abb
rams of San Francisco is the medical
expert for the society of spondylothera-
by. and he says he has tested the colors
on human beings and various animals.
and there is no disputing the fact that
red is the life color, and that when it is
worn there is an absence of laziness.
The doctor is hunting for the color I'M
der the influence of which politicians
can be prevented from falling into graft
but he does not know it all yet, and is
not saying what that color is Perhaps
it is white or the absence of color, for
there is no history which shows that
men who wore none other than white
clothing were ever suspected of graft
ing on the public. 1t may be sufficient
for the society of spondylotherapy in the
next hundred years to establish the
truth of the theory that red makes all
hands work we'll and willingly when
worn next to the body. Red dye for all
the garments is cheaper than wasting
forces to urge the lazy along the way
