"Witchcraft" in ENGLAND.

A case of witchcraft came to light
before Justice of the Peace Rupp of
Northampton, England, in the suit of
Stanley Wagner against Howard
Remaley recently. Wagner charges
Remaley with seeking TO harm him.
1t was alleged that some time ago a
sum of money was supposedly stolen
from Remaley. The latter consulted a
witch" doctor, who described the
thief The description is alleged to
have tailed with that of Wagner. In
order TO disturb the sleep of the
thief the witch doctor told Remaley
to take three horseshoe nails to a
neighbor, which he was to ask to
grease thoroughly. This was done.
Next Remaley was advised, in order
Ito kill the thief to get three drugs
from a druggist or undertaken and to
use a sledge-hammer in connection
with them. About this time rumors be-
gan TO reach the ears OF Wagner, and
he became so alarmed that he caused

of $7,750, 600. In machinery proper
the requirement is about 100000, 900.
These figures are based on United

DICTATES OF FASHION

The high hairdressing has made
fashionable many beautiful combs and
pins.
Stiff1y starched linen collars of the
outstanding variety are considered
smart.
Plaids and checks of many sorts are
in favor, especially for coates and
vests.
Some of the new tulle and batiste
lingerie gowns have foundation skirts
which suggest Turkish trousers.
Some Of the velvet street costumes
have extremely long coats, reaching
nearly to the hem of the gown.
On navy and black utility coats, col.
lars of changeable taffeta or broad
stripes are used to give little color.
Printed wolfe appears in so many de-
signs and the combination of colors is
so alluring every woman will surely
want a blouse of this material.
The latest blouses are extremely
simple in line. Tucks, bands of in
sertion, frills and rows of hemstitch
ing are the varieties of trimming most
favored.
Shirt waists of white organdie. to
which are attached mems waistcoats
OF white pque, with pockets at the
waist line and fiat silver buttons. are
novelty that deserves attention.

BEST TO FIND PAINS CAUSE
Useless to Smother Natures Danger
Signal by the Excessive Use
Of Drugs.

or all the sentinels that watch to
give warning that something within
our bodies has gone wrong. pain Is
the most assiduous, although its i'm
portance is frequently overlooked by
physicians as we'll al laymen. Pain
Is simply an expression of rebellion
against Objectionable stimuli; there
fore, however. desirable 1t may be to
get rid of 1T. it is far more important
10 find and cure its cause.
The old-time family doctors first
thought when called to a patient in
pain was to smother it by means of
powerful drugs. This was sometimes
useful in tiding a patient over a short
illness, which was bound TO right IL
self; but ii was worse than useless
in chronic ailments, because ii substi-
tuted for the malady in question a
far worse disease, namely, the opium
habit. 1t was exactly as though
railroad inspector on finding a red
lantern on the track should throw a
coat over it and go on his way. The
patient was satisfied when the pain
was lulled, but in this an important
danger signal was disregarded and ma
lures call for permanent relief re-
manned unanswered.
In appendicitis, for instance, it used
to be the custom to kill pain" by ad-
ministering large doses of morphine.
We now know that this dulls the pa
tents senses to a degree which makes
diagnosis of peritonitis or other COM
plications impossible, and that life
may be lost because one of the most
important symptoms is masked by
drugs. 1t is interesting also to note
how pain in appendicitis sets up a re-
fiex action of the abdominal muscles.
The muscles become hard and
"boardy," nature attempting to hold
the appendix as if in a splint so that
further injury may be impossible and
conditions favorable to repair may
obtain.

But one of the most important and
influential milliners in the Rue de la
Paix was an enthusiastic admirer of
the Louis XVI period, ard she has
created some notable bergere hats
which were received with rapture by
the more exclusive Parisiennes.
One Of these models is of black
velvet, with satin ribbons, II sapphire
