STRANGE CASE OF LOST MEMORY
A Striking Connecticut Instance Of
Amnesia

In the March American magazine
II. Abingdon Bruce writes an article
entitled The souls winning fight
with science" in which he shows that
science Is no longer at war with
mans belief in the immortality of the
soul. In the course of his article Mr..
Bruce tells the stories of number of
cases involving amnesia, or loss of
memory power. Following is one of
the stories he tells:---
"A striking case Of this sort is
found in the experience Of Connec-
ticut clergyman, Rev Thomas Carson
Hanna, who had the misfortune to
fall from his carriage one day, strik-
ing heavily on his head and being rem
dered unconscious.
when revived he failed to recog-
nize those about him, including the
young woman to whom he was engag
ed; had not he slightest knowledge
of his surroundings, and remembered
none OF the events of his life up to
the moment of the accident. Strang-
er still, it was found that he had SO
entirely forgotten the acquisitions of
education that he did not know how
to read or write, talk, or even walk.
In the words of the specialists, DR..
Boris Sidis and DR.. Simon p. Good
hart, who were called to examine
HIM
Although the functions of the
sense organs remained intact, and
the peripheral sensory processes re
manned normal, so that he experience
ed all the sensations awakened by ex-
ternal stimuli. yet there was a loss of
all mental recognition and of all in
depreciation OF incoming sensations:
all recognition OF the external world
was lost. Stimuli from without acted
upon his sense organs, gave rise TO
sensations, but perception and cogni-
ton were entirely absent The man
was mentally blind. He was as new
ly-born infant opening his eyes for
the first time upon the world
Happily the ability to form new
memories remained, so that it was
possible by a process of re-education
TO qualify the unfortunate Mr. Han
ma to mingle again with his fellows
on terms of ordinary social inter
course. But until means were found
TO restore the damaged cerebral ap
paratus TO its normal functioning he
continued to lack all consciousness of
his identity and of the prior occurren
ces of his life. In other words, his
true personality, his original ego,
seemed to have been wholly disinte.
grated by the blow on the head"

MExIcANs IN NAVAL FIGHT
Two Federal Gunboats Withdraw At.
ter Short Engagement

Nogales, Mex, March 4.-The first
naval engagement Of the Mexican rev
olution ended today at Topolobampo
after half an hour of ineffective firing
between the rebel warship Tampico
and the Federal gunboats Morelos
and Guerrero. which steamed down
from Guaymas for the attack.
The Tampico remained at Hopolo
bampo after its crew had mutinied
and turned the little vessel over &c
the Carranza forces. The Morelos
and the Kuerrero arrived off Topolo
bampo and opened fire today at LONG
range. The Tampico remained inside
the harbor while the Federal ships
took positions out in the Gulf of Cal
ifornia.
The Tampicos guns seemed Il
have a longer range than those of the
Federal gunboats. and the latter drew
away. No damage was done on eth
er side.

VAluAB { SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more at
rtention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkable degree and do
IA tremendous amount OF work in re
moving the poisons and wasted mat
ter from the system by filtering the
blood
During the winter months especial
ly, when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed as we take less ex
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich heavy food, thereby fore
ing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended. Evidence of
kidney trouble, such as lame back,
annoying bladder troubles, smarting
or burning, brick-dust or sediment,
sallow complexion, rheumatism, may
be weak or irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require
help Immediately to avoid more seri-
Gus trouble.
Many physicians claim that an her
bal medicine containing no minerals
or opiates has the most healing in
huence. The ideal herbal compound
that has had most remarkable sue
cess as a kidney and bladder remedy
is DR.. Kilmers SwampRoot.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Ad-

Clovis Journal Distributes Fifty Pounds oi
Seed to Curry Farmers

Sudan grass as stock crop
for this section is attracting a
great deal of attention. The
grass is said to have been brought
here from the Soudan regions of
Africa and to grow under severe
conditions of drouth. II does
not spread from the roots as does
Johnson grass therefore does not
become pest. 1t must be sowed
each year from the seed which it
bears in abundance. The seed
al present is very scarce and is
said to be worth about $500 a
pound. TIE Clovis Journal has

TELEPHONE COMPANY
IMPROVE SERVICE
Changes Made to Facilitate Service
Number Designations Changed

The Mountain States tele phone
company have made another
change in their directory in order
to facilitate the handling of calls.
In the instance of party lines, all
numbers under 200 have been
moved up into the higher numer-
ais so as to throw party lines OF.
the same switchboards in order
that quicker connections may be
made. The designating colors
red and black also have been
changed to the letters w and J
thus conforming to the rule over
the United States, these letters
being easier to distinguish, il is
said. The company claim to be
studying the needs of the people
in order to give the best service
possible although it is said at this
time that the local l;res are not
paying as they should, for the
amount of capital invested.
