MUTT & JEFF IN MEXICO"

Gus Hil s fourth seasons offering of the irrepressible cartoon character

10 TREAT ALCOHOL
 ONLY AS CHEMICAL
MIXING POISON WITH ALCOHOL AND CUTTING OFF THE TAX
 MAKES FOR LOW PRICE
Germans Almost Exclusive Trade in Fine Chemicals Said to Be Due to the Manner In Which Subject Is Dealt With.

London, Nov. 3.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-To the Eng.ish practice or considering alec hol as beverage instead of a chem ical, which is also true of the United States, is attributed Germanys al most exclusive trade in fine chemicals for use in medicine and the arts. English chemical manufacturers are therefore trying to induce the govern ment to take off the tax on alcohol. which now amounts to S5 or more the gallon, according to strength.
 Although protective nation, it is pointed out that Germany has had at it's command an unlimited suppiy of duty and tax free Slcohol It's legis- lators realized the importance of al conol to the trade in commercial chemicals, and have not believed that cheap alcohol has anything to do with the temperance question.
 Eenatured alcohol, which is made undrinkable through the mixture of poisons at the expense of 16 cents the tain But impure alcohol cannot be gallon, is relieved of tax in Great Bri. used in the making of fine chemicals.
 Alcohol plays an important part in the making of almost every chemical, directly or indirectly. 1t is almost useful solvent for extracting active principles from plants and in purify ing them, but from the commercial point of view 1t is quite as important in working up waste materials into by products, on which successful manu- tacturing largely depends these days.
 Owing to the excessive tax on pure alcohol, England ceased to manufac- ture cocaine. which owing to the war. has advanced from four shillings to ten shillings an ounce Aceto-saIicy- lie acid and salicylate of soda have increased proportionateiy Thymol is but one of the articles that have jumped from shi lings to 45 the pound, or thereabouts.
 The government has endeavored to save these important drugs for British use by prohibiting their export. But the supply is limited. British manu- facturers will not undertake cheir pro duction because they see their bus- ness gone when the war ends. They gay that if they are to equip special plants they must be able to meet Ger man competition in the future. and they cannot do this unless the tax is taken off of pure alcohol for conner cial use.

ANOTHER NEW YORK TEACHER
FIRED FOR BEING MOTHER
New York, Oct. 5.-As she waits
to give birth to her child, Mrs. Sarah
Brestow, a teacher of ten years ex-
perience in the public schools is
reading today her notice, of suspen-
sion and a summons to face charges
of neglect of duty before the board

She is the latest teacher to be hit
by the ruling of the court Of appeals
which decided against mother-teach-
ers in the case of Mrs. Bridget Pex-

The League for Civil Service Re

education to amend the bylaws so
that teachers will not be dismissed for
similar neglect of duty" If the
board refuses the fight will be carried

True health is of modest nature.
1t is no friend to noisy, bumptious,
fatty countenance or body. Freckles
are the union jacks and fiuttering
flags Of both bashfulness and health.
To be in good bodily vigor your dis
position must be sunny, and sunny
disposition within is like a sum
baked glow without. That is, 1t
brings out a multitude of freckles.
In fine, the strength and power OF
your body is in exact proportion to
the number Of freckles on your face.
If you have your face and forehead
and the hollows under. your eyes
peppered and tattooed with freckles
you may assure yourself that you
have better health than those who
have only few.
True enough, freckles, like dark
compilations, often run in families,
too. This is to say, they are
hereditar.. But even when freckles
come down to you as rich inheri-
lance from past generations they do
not often appear until you roam
abroad in green fields and pastures
new at the age of ten years.
Moreover, freckles in families al
ways crown with their golden glory,

only the fair faces Of the strong and
health glowing youngsters. 1t is also
true that freckles are not disposed
to show in brunettes and dark
skinned members of such a tribe.
There is a curious and prevalent
mistake among many persons, name
ly, that freckles are not the badges
of bonny, good health, but something
unattractive to the eye; something
to be rid Of.
Nothing is further from the new
discoveries of science. These find
ings, however, are, after all, only
cpnfirmatory of what most people
have instinctively felt. Whenever
you glance into the face of any
freckle-faced youngster or fair maid
you are drawn to them by the yellow
pearls and Observation-Disclosures dots
across the nose and beneath the
eyes. The frankness and innocence,
purity and health that seem to go
hand and hand with freckles have an
unconscious appeal to all men which
is now explained for the first time.
1t is, plainly, as experiments prove,
the fascination of and desire which
robust health creates. 1t was not
known before, but all the sick, the
ailing, and even the vigorous, have

which thus connect all the important vital
organs with the brain.
"Motor fibres of the vagus go to the
pharynx larynx, bronchial tubes, oesoph-
agus, stomach, S m all intestines and
spleen. Sensory-refex fibses go to the
lungs, heart and stomach, and to all other
organs which the vagus supplies with
sensation. These reflex fbres stimulate
or inhibt the respiratory rhythm and the
heart rhythm-regulate the work OF the
lungs and heart"
1t is only within the last few years that
medical science has gained exact knowl-
edge of the hearts share in the functions
of the vagus, or pneumogastric nerve 1t
had long been recognized as the 'inhibi-
tory nerve-that is, that its main func-
ton was to keep various vital organs of
the human body from OVERRIDING their al
lotted tasks. Thus, stimulation of the
vagus retards the normal action of the
heart and lungs, while its partial paraly-
sis produces the opposite effect-like loos-
ening the brake on revolving wheel.
But to trace the anatomical extension
of the vagus nerve to the heart muscle is
comparatively recent achievement. Al
ter long, painstaking and minute observa-
ton, aided by. a special electrical mech
anism invented for that purpose-one of
which is in use at Bellevue Hospital, New
York-it was discovered that this long
sought connection was tn trough the
nerves sensory hbres.
The human heart, like that of the lower
animals, is provided with its own indie
pendent system of control. In the case of
many of the lower animals this indepen-
dent control is etirely adequate--the heart
by itself, disconnected from the brain and
general nervous system, is 4 complete,
self-governing engine. In the case of hui
man beings all the self-goyerning appar-
atus is there, but it has long since yielded
important functions to the brain and Its
communicating nerves.
It is through this once adequate, 1nde-
pendent apparatus that the vagus nerve
has been found to do its work. The sem

that any sudden emotion or mental shock,

But if the cabled reports about Prince
Oscar are true, either his terrible expert
ences upon the battlefield disabled the
"inhibitory" nerve or he was already the
victim of hidden organic heart weakness,
which required the strain of some such
experience to reveal itself.

he is at Hamburg, is the heroine of the

at length decided to overlook the fact
that she was not of royal blood There
being four lives between Prince Oscar
and the German throne, and the chance OF
his ever succeeding being virtually non

device was not considered So the pretty
Countess was permitted to become as

she had been royal herself.
