Stomach Ache.

Segmentary neurosis is the predis
posing cause of disease belonging to
the class of the paroxysmal spasmodic
disorders associated with the mus
culature of the alimentary canal. In
members Of this class seizures occur
in connection with food taking and
gastro-oesophageal hypertonus; they
also occur from mental and emotion.
al excitement, and from muscular eff.
fort; in them both visceral and parie'
tai layers of muscles are engaged in
spasm. Consequently they resemble
the anginal seizure in other features
besides that Of predisposing cause. A
neurosis attended by intercostal by.
peralgesia ensues when dendritic
fibers belonging to the affected CEN
ter traverse pressure zones of hyper
plasias, aneurisms, new growths and
pericardial and pleuritic adhesions.
Hence these diseases, as well as gas.
trio disorders, may be regarded as
potential remote causes of anginal
pains and seizures.-H. Walter Verdun

AZTECS IN UNITED STATES
Pentwater Farmer Believes He Has
Evidence They Lived In
That Vicinity.

Detroit, Mich.-Buried evidently at
4 period far remote from the time Of
the earliest explorations of this coun.
try by Europeans, collection of an
t1quities has been unearthed in the
vicinity of Pentwater, Mich, which
seems to prove the theory that the
Aztecs of Mexico once inhabited what
is now the northern part of the Unit
ed States. The find was unearthed by
Carl Schrumpff, farmer, while he
was digging up pine stump.
When Pere Marquette visited this
vicinity in 1672-1673 he found the whole
territory covered with forests, giving
ground for the belief that the mound
which Schrumpff uncovered was made
long enough before Pere Marquettes
time to have become covered with the
forests of which he speaks in his BIZ
ography.
Embedded at the taproot of the stump
Schrumpff found a skeleton in fair
state of preservation. Subsequently he
found 10 other skeletons, with their
accompaniment of articles of utility
and adornment. All the bodies had
faced the east, and had been buried in
a sitting position, the knees drawn up
against the chest. g3
A miscellaneous assortment Of ar
row and spear heads; also quantities
of broken pottery were found.

CARRIED 10 ON ONE TICKET
Conductor Of Train Thought Mother
Had Her Sunday School Class
! With Her.

Muskogee, Okla.-Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Scott Of Highland, Kan, are
seeking a home with lots of land.
They will need it, for although they
have been married not quite ten years
they have had nineteen children, all
boys. and 10 boys are living. They
hold the record for triplets, having five
sets to their credit, and also two sets
of twins. All the Is living boys are
under five years Of age.
Mrs. Scott once boarded train with
her 10 boys and one first class ticket.
The conductor informed her that she
could not take her entire Sunday
school class on one ticket, and it was
not until she showed him the family
Bible, with all the birth dates record
ed, that he believed it was only her
family and permitted them to occupy
five double seats while paying for one.

SAVES $500 ON $40 INCOME
Search Of Cripple's Shack After Death
r Reveals Example Of Unbeliev-
able Thrift

Newport, Ore.-An example Of al
most unbelievable thrift was exposed
when the shack occupied for number
of years by Owen Rupert, helpless
cripple, was searched following death
and revealed more than $500 in gold.
For about twenty years Rupert has
been a bedridden cripple without any
funds or means of support except $40
q month from Lincoln county. His
shack was a one-story building on pill
ing over Yaquina bay.
On some of the bright days of sum-
mer Rupert would be seen sitting in
chair, which he had to be helped in
to. but that was all the pleasure he
got in life, as few Newport residents
knew of his existence or visited him.
1t was from the county appropriation
that the $500 was saved after the bare
necessities had been purchased.

Bloomington, 1nd.-The problem Of
how to go to circus, which confronts
all small boys at this time Of the year,
and which is a familiar problem to
many older ones, was solved in an un-
usual way by two Bloomington lads.
When the Gentry circus opened here
two youngsters, whose parents would
not give them money enough to go to
the circus, possessed only one tangible
asset and that was a much-beloved
dog, of the cur variety it Is true, but
nevertheless precious.

village Of White Earth and vicinity,

RICH ORE FROM OLD MINE
Copper Shipped From an Old Spanish
Mine Recently Discovered In
Texas.

Allamore, Tex.-M. F. FARRELL has
just shipped a carload Of rich copper
ore from the old mine which he dis
covered near here last Christmas day.
The fact that the skeletons Of twen-
ty men were found in the long-aban-
doned shaft Of the mine and that near
by was found a collection of knives
and other relics leads to the belief
that the property was worked by the
Spaniards in the early days and that
trace of the mine was lost through the
sudden death by massacre by Indians
or otherwise OF the men connected
with the enterprise. III
The ore which FARRELL shipped to the
smelter at Ell Paso was all collected
from the surface, where it had lain
for an untold length of time. AS soon
as the shaft can be cleaned of debris
extensive operations will be started.
The discovery Of this ancient mine
caused great excitement. Prospec-
tors began rushing in here as soon
as the news of the find was made pub
lie and claims have been staked for
several miles around the mine. Many
good outcroppings of copper have al
ready been discovered.
Some of the ore samples assay about
$50 copper to the ton and considerable
gold and silver.

DRAWBACKS TO new IDEA
Cutting Down Of Hours Of Sleep Will
Be Sure to Meet With Much
Opposition.

A specialist who has pursued his
studies with devotion, announces that
sleep is a mere habit of the human
mind and body that may be thrown off
completely through gradual relinquish-
ment. It Is his view that the average
man may add 20 years to his conscious
existence by disposing of his sleep
habit. The cult has progressed to
the extent that many men are now
in way to eliminate their hours of
repose, with some show of success,
but there is vast complaint from their
families during the preliminary stages
of the cure. The man who has been
sleeping eight hours is not enabled
to shade the interval of rest to four
hours without seriously disturbing
his household. One who retires at
midnight and arises at four o'clock
in the morning aWakens other inmates
Of his home, both on retiring and
arising. There is some inherent de-
feet in human nature that leads one
to go laundering about house, knock
ing over chairs and shaking down the
furnace, when he should be preserv-
ing a deep silence. For this reason
the home treatment of the sleep habit
is not likely to be popular. What
should be done, for the protection of
normal humans, is to hive the sleep
habit patients in barracks where they
may strangle sleep at will without
disturbing others. TO curious stran-
gers the barracks would be a show
place, where the lights would be al
ways shining like beacons and where
the activities of life might proceed
as at noon. There is some demur to
the sleep treatment for the reason
that it adds one meal a day to the
requirements of the patient-a re-
quirement that is practically prohibi'
tive to many.

Odd Fishes,

1t IS said that at one time the Ice
landers taught tame bears to jump into
the sea and catch seals. In China
birds do equally we'll, for at a signal
they dive into the lakes and bring up
large fish grasped in their bills. In
Greece the fishermen use branches Of
pine STEPPED in pitch and lighted; the
Inhabitants of Amorgos used cypress
teaved cedar, which served, when light
ed, as a lure; and the Chinese fish in
the night with white-painted boards
placed in manner to reflect the rays
Of the moon upon the water. These
attract the fish to the boat, when the
men cast large net and seldom fail to
draw out considerable quantities. An
chovies are fished for IN . similar man
ner.

SAILORS DEFEAT
SOLDIERS Z TO |
TAYLOR, FOR ARTILLERYMEN,
PITCHED NO-HIT GAME, BUT
ERRORS LOST THE GAME FOR
HIM.

In a very interesting contest at
Fort Barrancas yesterday the Sailors
from the North Carolina defeated the
Soldiers Of the Fifteenth Company BIZ
the score of 2 to 1. Taylor, for the
Soldiers, pitched no-hit game, but
errors in the first inning allowed the
Sailors to score two runs. The Sol
diers only run came in the fifth in
ming, walk, sacrifice and hit SEMI
ing one man around.
This is the first game the Sailors
have won from the Soldiers, but their
team is steadily improving and soon
they will make the Soldiers hustle If
they win games. Another game will
be played this afternoon between the
Sailors and the 22nd Co. Each team
has astrong lineup and good game
is expected.
