TOO MUCH STARCH
PUT IN HIS SHIRT
JOHN O'FARRELL'S SWEETHEART
OvERDID BUSINESS WITH S
POUNDS OF STlFFENING.
est. Louis Globe-Democrat)

WESSON. Miss, Jan. 20--As a re-
cident, or bad judgment, which oc-
Cured recently, there are two very
sad hearts today, a wedding knocked
out or put off indefinitely, and a
young man by the name of John o.
Farrell has been conveyed to a hos
pital for repairs, and from all ap-
over almost entirely, as in his pres
ent fix he is a most pitiful object.
The misfortune came about, it is
said. IN this way: John had been
counting what he termed the sweet
est and most industrious young lady
in the community where he lived,
from here. and they had contracted
to get married this Christmas eve
night and were looking forward to
that day with glad hearts. A few
days ago, it is said, the girl told
John she wanted an opportunity to
prove to him before they were mar
ried that she could launder his shirts
just as good as she had been telling
him she could, and he complied with
her request to bring her his best
Sunday shirt for her to fix.
She proceeded to launder 1t and In
doing SO put five pounds of starch in
the one shirt, and when he came to
garment launderef SO stiff that it
would stand up alone. He told her
he was delighted and was sure she
was the finest girl in all the world,
and he carried the shirt home, put it
on and wore it to town and got soak
ing wet in a rain. He went into a
store 10 warm and dry out. When
ne got home that night, as he did not
have on any undershirt, he did
not take the shirt his girl had laun-
dered off, but crawled into bed and
slept in it.
The next morning he decided to
pull the shirt off and let his intend
ed wife try her hand on it again but
when he proceeded to take the gar
ment off his body he was Mortified to
find it was sticking so tightly to his
hide that he could not pull it off at
all. He was at loss to know what
to do, but would not say a word to
mis- parents.
crawled up in the loft, removed sew
eral planks, fastened the bottom end
of the shirt to the joists and jumped
out like a spring frog jumping into
q creek. The shirt came off all
right but brought with it Johns al
most entire hide, with large pieces Of
flesh hanging to it. He tainted
when he hit the floor below, and was
found unconscious by some workmen
a little while afterward, 1t was
some minutes before the workmen
could get themselves together to I'M
derstand the situation, but when one |
looked up and saw the shirt hanging |
to the joists an investigation follow |
ed and the whole secret was at once
solved The local doctor was called |
at once, and he said upon arrival
that the case was beyond his know
ledge, and the young man would
have to be hurried to hospitak
where they were prepared to remake
a fellow as badly disfgured as John
was 1t is said that when the girl
in the case learned what had hap
pened she tainted, and is reported to
be in a dangerous condition.

PRES. WILSON CALLS
HALT ON INSOLENCE.

Offended by the tone and
manner of their chairman, w, NJ.
Trotter, of Boston, President Viii
son ended an interview with a
delegation of negroes, who call
ed at the White House TO pro-
test against race segregation IN
government departments, with a
warning that if the negroes
wanted to see him again they
would have 10 get another spokes
man. The President said he had
not been addressed in such fash
ion since he entered the White
House.
Trotter disputed a statement
that there had been danger of
friction and took issue with the
President. He declared the ne
gro people did not seek charity
or assistance, but held that they
had equal rights with the whites
and that these rights should be
respected.
Mr.. Wilson waited for the pro-
test TO end. Then he told the
delegation that he could not dis.
cuss the matter further.

Thanksgiving.

Giving God thanks for safe ar

was first heard on New England
shores from the lips Of POpham
colonists at Monnegan, IN the
thanksgiving service OF the
Church of England. The firt
Thanksgiving was observed in
December 1921. This was a week
of feasting. Venison was brought
in by the Massasoit Indians and
dozens of wild turkeys, rabbits
and smaller game were slaughter
I'd for the feast. The Indians
were invited TO join the whites
in the merrymaking, an invitation
which was promptly accepted.
The records make no mention Of
any special religious exercises
during the week Of -feasting. In
July 1923 a fast day Of nine
hours of prayer was observed by
these same colonists, who were
suffering from the effects of a
prolonged drought which had

FACTOR IN ACCIDENTS.

During the last few years a number
OF very startling accidents have been
clearly traceable to mistakes Of per-
sons using intoxicants. In most cases
this fact is suppressed, since, If known,
the responsibility would center on
some individual and become the basis
for damage suits. DR.. T. d. Crothers
OF Hartford, Conn. who has made a
study of alcoho's connection with re-
cent disasters. gives some of his find-
ings In investigating the causes OF
railroad and steamship casualties, fac
tory explosions. fires, automobile ac-
cidents and the like. We quote:
Laboratory studies and the asser-
tons Of the most competent experts
testify to the fact that no appreciable
dose Of alcohol Is safe to the human
body. To many men this seems
very extravagant claim and seemingly
contradicted by experience, when ap-
parent good work Ia done by persons
who use spirits. The laboratory shows
that the action of spirits is that OF
an anesthetic on the senses and in
this way the integrity of the brain Is
impaired and the evidences OF the
outer world through the senses are de-
ranged, lowered and lessened. The
laboratory shows that reasoning under
these conditions Is very apt to be
faulty. 1t lacks In rapidity and accu-
racy. Conclusions are reached on In
secure basis and judgment of events
lacks clearness. Laboratory studies
show cell and motor arrangement
and loss of control. which may be
slight at first. but later increased. The
ordinary caution seems to be dimin-
ished and persons act recklessly, and
both say and do things which later
are proved to be faulty. There is a
species of egotiem which follows the
anesthesia from spirits that is very
misleading and dangerous.

Housework is a Burden

The daily cares of keeping house
and bringing up a family are hard
enough for healthy woman. The
tired, weak mother who struggles
from morn to night with a lame, ach.
ing back is carrying heavy burden.
Many women believe that urinary
disorders and backache are female
troubles and must be endured. But
men suffer the same aches and trou-
bles when the kidneys are sick.
Women are especially subject to kid
ney disease. Tight clothing, indoor
work. the ordeals of childbirth, the
worry, and the STOPPING. straining and
striving of housework all help to bring
1t on. At first the trouble may be only
backache, sick headache, dizziness
and drowsy, dull languid feeling, but
this condition Ia dangerous to neglect,
