WAY TO CARRY CHICKEN
HEAD DOWN OR HEAD Up?

New York, April Magistrate
Corrigan, sitting in the Harlem po-
lice court, was called upon to deter
mine what is the proper way to car
ry a chicken. John Jackson, a
bricklayer, was hailed into court by
an agent of the Humane society who
held that Jackson's way of carrying
the bird. head downward, consti-
tuted cruelty to animals. The Mag
istrate was inclined to side with
Jackson, but the Humane society
agent declared that chickens should
always be carried head up.
Lets see what the chicken
thinks about it," said the Magis-
trate finally.
His honor held the fowl in both
positions, but the bird merely wink
ed and seemed to enjoy itself In
either position.
"Pshaw." said his honor. Both
prisoners are discharged. Here's
your chicken, Jackson"
The bricklayer left the court car
rying the fowl by the feet, head
down.

SIGNIFICANT TRIUMPH
FOR HON. BEN JOHNSON
His Fight On "Half. and.Half'
System Endorsed ByPres.
ident Wilson.

Washington, April 16.-The re-
form in District of Columbia affairs
longest sought by Representative
Ben Johnson received its strongest
impetus when 0. p. Newman, chair
man of the District Board of Com
missioners, in public address, de-
clared in its favor Mr.. Newman
made his address after long con-
ference with the President-a fact
duly chronicled in the local press
and il is confidently assumed here
that the President is supporting Mr..
johnson.
The reform concerns the so-called
"half-and-half SYSTEM by when
the revenues of Washington and the
district are raised. Under the pres
ent arrangement the people OF the
United States pay one-half the dis
tricts expenses and the district pays
the other half. Beginning five years
ago Mr.. Johnson attacked this as
unjust and inequitable. He has es-
timated. for instance, that it costs
Kentucky $4,000 annually to help
support Washington. He has made
determined fight against the half
and-half, and, as a result. has been
the victim of bitter feeling engen-
dered among the people of the dis
trict. by the real estate agents and
public service corporations which
oppose the increase in their taxes
that the abolition of the half-and-
half system will cause.
Now that Commissioner Newman
and inferentially the President
have Endorsed Mr. Johnson's fight,
il is expected the Kentuckian will
gain larger following in Congress
for his reform. He is chairman OF
the district committee which han
dies such matters.
Some days ago the President sus-
tanned Mr. Johnsons opposition to
what are known as the plaza
awards in which the hentucklan
commended that condemnation juries
had awarded property holders-in-
Guiding the b. a o. railroad-about
$1,1OO,000 more than their land
was worth. The President refused
to approve the awards which We're
to clear land for park project, as a
result of the representations of Mr..
Johnson.
At the time of that victory Mr..
Johnson said il was the biggest
thing he had done" Mr.. Newman S
speech to-day. however, transcends
the other triumph of the Fourth
district Congressman.

Mr.. Kirby is one of the unfor-

have long tended to weaken the

His latest outbreak is calculated to
destroy what influence 1t has left.
President Wilson. with his acute
intellect, is about the last person in
the country to try to put nonsense

laboring men to cooperate to spec

consideration of equitable. just, and

it is an affront to the intelligence
of the President to ask him to lis

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed yon have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf-vss is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh

dition of the mucous surfaces.

Don't Sleep Well
No Good Reason
Just Can't Sleep

Some people can't sleep. There
seems to be no special reason. They
have no disease OF the nervous sys-
TEN. Digestion is fairly good. Their
habits are pretty good. They may
smoke a little or drink little. yet
their habits are fair. Still they can't
sleep well.
Just little unbalanced in the nerve
centers. That is all. They should
have a little "righting up"
A tonic will generally do this. The
right sort OF a tonic. Peruna Is ex-
actly the tonic. Digestion is hurried
by Peruna. The stomach is empty
and ready TO rest for the night. The
circulation Is eQualized. The brain
is relieved OF all congestions and irri-
tations.
The Peruna acts on every blood
vessel In the system. IL acts ON all
of the nerve centers. One begins to
sleep and hardly knows why.
Take a teaspoonful to one table,
spoonful OF Peruna before each meal.
Sometimes another tablespoonful at
bedtime is necessary, where the sleep
lessness Is very pronounced.
Just try Il, neighbor. You will be
glad II you do. One bottle will con-
vince you. Peruna Is no sleep medi-
cine. II is not a nervine. II contains
no narcotics. II Is nothing Of that
sort. II is simply a regulative tonic.
