NEW USE OF MAGNET

BERLIN-The current number of
medical publication describes a new
use Of the electro-magnet in the treat
ment of diseases. The method is the
result Of the work OF Prof Bayr Of
Leipzig The treatment. which is em-
ployed in diseases of the intestines
and in diagnosis, consists of the in
PRODUCTION into the intestines of a
harmless iron preparation, upon
which the magnet. applied to the abb
domen, exercises its attraction i'm such
a manner as to effect desired changes
of position of the affected tract. These
changes are so considerable that they
can not oily be felt but. can be OBJ
served The process can be controlled
with the help Of the Roentgen rays,
since the iron-containing tract is plain
~ delmited in the rays. The pres
ence, extent and location of intestinal
adhesions can be plainly observed,
making the process Of great diagnosis
value. The magnet can also be used
in diseases OF the stomach and the
peristaltic motion can be excited Boy

MaISle, why doesn't LICK uhe
me?"
:'How do you know he does not,
and what difference does that make,
kitty, dear if I like you? He has a
number of both men and women
friends that don't appeal to me in
the least"
Eyes, but Margie, you surely know
that man can have friends his wife
hates, but if he dislikes one Of his
wife's friends the teeniest, weeniest
bit she will have to choose between
them and continual nagging."
MY dear girl, Dick very seldom
says anything about you. The other
day, however, when we were talk
ing, he said you we're a most fascin-
ating little person"
Kitty dimpled. She cannot resist
admiration, even from people whom
she knows give it grudgingly. AS l
looked at her a sentence that l had
recently read in one of Mrs. Hum
phTey Wards novels came to me:
''FIattery is merely virtue out Of
place, kindness gone wrong - from
the point of view of the mOralist.
From the point of view of the ordi-
nary mortal it is what no man-and
few women-can do without.
I sometimes feel sorry, little book,
for those men and women who do not
read. The great writers, both ancient
and modern, put your thought into
language that prints them indelibly
on your brain.
Human. nature is the same always
in high and low and to all of US come
nearly the same temptations. We are
interested in the same things. There
it is, little book. 1t is people and things
that interest all of us. We call those
people high brOws who delve into the
realm of abstTuse thought without
stopping to realize that thought is
absolutely meaningless if it does not

who use our brains often analyZe the
motive but most of US act from sub
conscious motives and it is only when
we talk to you as I am doing that we
get anywhere near the reason why
that all the world asks.
Kitty asks: why don't Dick like
me" without stopping to think for a
moment that Dick must consider
Herbert a paragon of virtues, simply
because the temptations that appeal
to him could never appeal to Herbert.
Which leads me to ask you an
other questions, little book: ''Why is
it that a man thinks he is making
such a sacrifice if he lives a perfectly
respectable and decent life, and if he
knows this is a great sacrifice for
him, why does he seem to think that
it must be perfectly easy for a woman
to do the same thing"
l know, little book, that Kitty would
be a most amusing companion for
Dick if he could have her alone at the
play and restaUrant-in fact, he has
told me so, but he always Tesents the
fact that her little Establishments and
coqUeteries with men and their in
variable succumbing to them inter-
est me.
Kitty is far from being a pattern,
little book, but I have found her very
human and sometimes I have almost
wish that I could skim along on the
edges of life as she dOes-and yet,
poor Kitty is not always happy, for
she, too, has at least a glimmeTing of
possibilities.
One of these times came to her
when she looked over the baby
clothes gave her.
Of course, we both were crying
and she said:

HUERTA ARRESTED-V VIOLATES I
NEUTRALITY LAWS?

NEUTRALITY LAWS?
Fort Bliss, Tex, June 28.-Gen.
Victoriano Huerta was arrested yes
terday by order of the United States
government as he was on his way
to Mexico, presumably to take part
in new revolution. He, was releas-
ed on $4,000 bond after spending II
hours as prisoner at Fort Bliss. Gen.
Orozco, arrested with him, was re-
leased on $500 bond.
There have been more than ten
generals who have arrived here to
join the Huerta revolution since Sat
urday and all the details for launch
ing new revolution were complete.
Huerta got off the train at Newman,
where he was met by Gen. OrozcO,
and both walked into the arms of the
United States deputies. 1t was the
plan of Huerta to cross the Rio
Grande at Zacagosa ford in Orozco's
automobile The Juarez garrison was
to have mutinied and joined Huerta
when Gen. Salazar arrived from the
vicinity of Guzman with 1000 loyal
Huerta troops. A warehouse con-
tanning II machine guns, rifles and
large quantities of ammunition
bought by Huerta agents was discov-
cred in Ell Paso and is being guarded.
The detention of Huerta followed
nearly three months espionage by
the government agents. The depart
ment of justice had instructed U. S.
Atty Camp of the western district of
Texas to take into custody those men
who seemingly were engaged in vio-
lation of American neutrality laws.
Squatting at window of his i'm
provised prison yesterday, Gen.
Huerta watched the ceremony of un-
furling the flag at the U. S. army post
and stood at attention when the col
ors that he had once refused to sa-
lutte were unfurled.

from this side of border, will be laid
before Texas federal grand jury at
once. Attorney general plans to in
clude Americans reported interested,
some as financial hackers and others
who were to have furnished NUM-
tions. Officials familiar with the sit
uation say the prosecution for neu-
trality violation will be on the biggest
scale in American history.
Although HueTta and Orozco are
out on bail, they will be watched
to prevent jumping of bond in at
tempt to execute original plans. Pres
ident Wilson at Cornish is being kept
in close touch with developments,
which are now in Attorney General
Gregory's hands.
