be spent In the emanatorium, and the
treatment continues for three weeks.

which do not perish like light rays. but
are held IN solution In the air. are
breathed into the lungs There they
get into the blood and thus are carried
to every organ OF the body. This IL

HUNTING MOONSHlNE STILL
Armed Deputies Start for Southern Ozarks, Where 30 Men Are
 Said to Be on Guard.

Springfield, Mo, May 16.-Intent upon capturing by force a moonshine still in Ripley county, near the south ern borders of the Ozarks, which they have been unable to find by strategy, a posse of 12 armed men headed by A L. Arnold of Springfield, Harry Mead of Joplin, Deputy United States marshals, and James Case of Spring field, deputy internal revenue col elctor. left here for Doniphan, from where they will proceed to the hills which are known to conceal the illicit whisky makers.
 It was reported that the still is be- ing guarded by 30 armed men, and every effort will be made by the posse to capture the entire band. Re peated efforts have been made to sur prise the owners of the still, but it has been so carefully guarded that the deputies have never found any of the moonshiners at work.
 If the federal officials are success full in the raid, what is believed to be the last moonshine still in Mis-. souri will be destroyed.

Washington, May 16.-Democrats of both houses of congress say they believe that the currency bills which are to be introduced in the house by Representative Glass and in the sen ate by Senator Owen will be virtually identical and that the measures will express the views of the administra- ton on the great and troubling sub ject" in hand.
 Representative Glass who will be the chairman of the house committee on banking and currency, is much more of a conservative on financial questions than is Senator Owen, who is the chieftain of the corresponding committee in the senate. It Is said that the views of MT. Glass are the views of the East and the views of MT. Owen are the views of the West If the president can make the East and the West meet on common ground, and can secure the enactment of bill which Is neither too radical nor too conservative, the Democrats say that he will clinch his growing fame as a controller of men inclined to be wayward.
