ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR TERM
1000 Story Accounting for Word
Oeadhead," So Frequently Made
Use Of Today.

Exactly how our language came
into possession of the word "dead-
nead, which is so frequently used
IN connection with the Transports
tion business, is not known. Of the
many versions of its origin which
are current the following, whether
correct or not, is at least the most
interesting:
Many years ago the principal ave-
nue OF town passed close to the en-
trance of toll road leading to a
cemetery. AS this cemetery had
been laid out some time previous to
the construction of the road, it was
arranged that all funeral professions
should be allowed to pass along the
road free Of toll.
One. day, as a well-known phvsi-
can who was driving along this road
stopped to pay his toll, he observed
to the keeper: Considering the be-
nevolent character of our profession.
| think you ought to let us pass free
of charge"
mo, no, DOCTOR" said the gate
keeper, eve can't afford that; you
send too many deadheads through as
it is"
The story travelled around the
country, and in this way the word
"deadhead" eventually came to be
applied to those who obtain free
transportation from railway and
steamship lines.

VILLAS PRETESSIONS

Now Villa has set up a govern ment of his own, with himself as it's head, wholly distinct from any authority claimed by the con yention of Mexican generals and altogether apart from zapata or Garza, tke latest provisional presi dent" He has come out into the open, at last, as the self-appointed and self-chosen dictator of the part of Mexico which Is unedr the con- trol of his armies.
 This puts the situation in clearer light for many Americans who have been misled by Villas professions of disinterestedness. They cannot fail 70 see that his claim to be considered an unself- ish patriot Is absurd and hence forth they will judge him rightly as one of the military chieftains who are fighting for their personal ambitions and enrichment.
 Low as Mexico has fallen it is hardly possible that Villa can make himself the accepted head of the Mexican government. Civil war can scarcely end with a profession Gl highwayman in full control of the country. The Mexican people will not be ruled by a bandit with Villas bestial record of crime The higher he places himself in his own proclamations the sooner ne will fall. The farther his am bi,ions lead him the more surely hey will prove his undoing.

First-Don't Delay. Second-Don'
 Experiment..

If you suffer from backache; headaches or dizzy spells; if you rest poorly and are languid in the morning; if the kidney secreuons are irregular and unnatural in ap- pearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especial ly prepared for kidney trouble-they gre recommended by thousands. Can kidney sufferers desire more convincing proof than the statement following.
 James M. Cahill, stationary en- gineer, PAT Harrison st., Portland, Oregon, says: Nothing has occur red TO alter my high opinion of Deans Kidney Pills and I confirm my former endorsement ot them given some years ago. Since then, I have been helped by Deans Kid ney Pills and l believe that they have no equal for kidney and blad- der trouble"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Deans Kidney Pills--the same that MT. Cahill had. Foster-Mil- burn O., Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

says God only knows what she has

and disgrace more firmly on those
she should try to comfort
Mrs. Tweedle asks such a silly
question: "Who would pay the rev.
enue if we put the saloon out of bus
iness?" Had she studied the ques-
ton as have she would know that
for every dollar received from the Ii
censed saloon the taxpayer must pay
out more than two dollars for dam
