PAINTED THOUSAND CATS;
is STRICKEN WITH BLINDNESS
Woman Loses Sight as She Realizes
Her Lifelong Ambition.

Just as she has completed the
painting of her thousandth cat Mrs.
E. NJ Gardner, widely known as
cat painter, has been stricken with
blindness at her home in Pitman,
N. J.
The cat painters sight held out
long enough for her to realize the
ambition of her Iife-that Of paint
ing 200 cats.
Cats of all types and degrees
aristocratic cats and just plain tab
bies-have been the subjects of her
brush She began painting 30 years
age. and in all that time she has
painted only cats.
At the very outset of her career
Mrs. Gardner made a discovery that
has been one of the secrets of her
success in cat painting. Instead of
the usual canvas she selected thick,
black velvet upon which to paint. The
effect of the velvet is quite striking,
as it gives the painted cats a lifelike,
furry appearance.

WILL TRY TOM WATSON
FIRST TIME IN GEORGIA
IF CONVICTION FAILS GOVERN.
MENT WILL ASK INDICTMENT
IN OTHER STATES.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Thomas E..
Watson will be indicted and tried in
Georgia first for alleged violation of
federal statutes fOrbidding the cir
culation of obscenity. The decision of
Attorney General Gregory not to
bring the first Indictment outside of
the state, as was originally contem-
plated, has been communicated to the
members of the Georgia delegation
who recently called upon him to pro-
test against putting the onus upon
the citizens, grand juries and federal
courts of the state that they would
periure themselves in case invOlv-
ing Watson.
The department holds that sep
arate offense was committed in each
place under the jurisdiction of the
circulating obscene matter in those
ed his weekly periodical, The Jeffer-
sOnian.
1t is conceivable that if mistrial
or an acquittal meets the depart
I0eQJ attempts 10 secure COiIF IL
ton in Georgia it will continue to
bring indictments in other jurisdic-
items for the additional offense of
circulating obscene matter in those
Jurisdictions.
The answer of Mr.. Watson's attOr-
neys will undoubtedly be that such
procedure would amount to persecu-
ton and not prosecution, and would
be illegal. since it would be subject
ing him twice to jeopardy for the
same offense. The department holds,
however, that it would be within it's
rights in taking such a course. A
jury in North Carolina or Virginia
might take a different view of the
in those states of Wat
sons paper from that taken in Geor-
gia.
Attorney General Gregory admit
ted to the Georgia delegation a be-
lief that it would be impossible to
convict Mr.. Watson in Georgia, be-
cause of the political animus that
would creep into the case. He is
his course with a view to Sc
curing trial in some state where
there would be no unusual prejudice,
either for or against Watson.

HANDS LIKE HAMS;
FEET 80 INCHES LONG
Ianta, and Out of a Job. Weighs
Nearly Thousand Pounds.

ATLANTA-The largest man the
world has ever known, measuring 9
feet tall and weighing nearly I 900
pounds, is walking the streets of At
lanta practically unnoticed, and at
times apparently out of job.
1t is the big negro who was for
merly with one of the biggest cir
cuses in the country, but who came
here some months ago dressed in a
red uniform in the employ of some
local concern. He attracted great
deal of attention at first, but now no.
body ever notices him.
One of the remarkable things about
the giant here is that his body is in
normal proportion. His hands are
about the size of hams, and his feet
are nearly thirty inches long.

BUILDING A GIGANTIC
AEROPLANE FOR ALLIES
WILL REPRESENT MANS GREAT
EST ACHIEVEMENT IN AERl-
AL TRANSPORTATION.

An aeroplane for the use of the
allies is being developed in this c0un-
try which will represent the greatest
achievement of man in actual trans
portation, according to E. Douglas
Wardrop, editor of Aerial Age.
This aeroplane will be six times
larger than any yet tried. 1T can
carry sufficient gasoline to give it a
cruising range of more than 600
miles at a speed of Is miles an hour.
Has Seven Motors.
1.-The power plant consists of seven
motors-six of 100 horse power each,
and one of 40 horse power. With
about eight passengers this machine
has a further capacity for carrying
700 gallons of gasoline, so gallons
of oil and a useful load of 5000
pounds.
This machine will be built with
three planes, spreading 1873 feet. The
length is 6S feet and rudder area "a
square feet. The weight of the hull
and planes is 5000 pounds. The to-
tai weight carried through the air
will be ten tons.
"A new gun will be used in this
monster plane which gives no recoil.
This gun consists of a tube, in which
two shots are simultaneously dis
charged by a single explosion. At
the moment of firing one shot-the
deadly steel shell-speeds down to-
wards the enemy; the second shot,
which is made of sand, is discharged
backward. Thus two discharges are
made at once, with the result that
there is no recoil from the gun.
Shoots Nine Centimeter Shell.
AT the beginning of the war the
shot used from aeroplanes was small.
This new gun will throw a shell nine
centimeters in diameter. Imagine
the effectiveness of this terrific can
non fire from aerOplanes.
This will be the type of lombard
ing aeroplaneS that will be used on
the German ports this spring.

ONE OF WORLDS WONDERS
IS DISCOVERED IN GEORGIA
4 Prehistoric Monument of Quartz
Rocks i'm Form OF Eagle.

Another wonder of the world has
been discovered by scientists in Geor-
eia in the form Of a mysterious pre-
historic monument of white quartz
rock boulders, in Putnam county in
the form Of an immense eagle, out
spread upon the ground, measuring
over 100 feet from beak to tail.
The relic is believed to be an In
dian mound, probably built by some
tribe which antedated the Greeks and
Seminoles. Even after the discovery
of America, it is said, some Of the
southern tribes Of Indians still used
the eagle as the symbol of strength
and bravery.
The battle flags of the Greeks were
made of eagle feathers, and their
council lodges were surmountd with
carvd images or stuffed skins of the
regal bird.

THE GOVERNMENT FIGHTS
THE DREADED TRACHOMA
MUCH FEARED DISEASE OF THE
EYES AMONG THE SOUTHERN
NIOUNTAINEERS.

In a way. a different way the Unit
ed States public health service is do
ing the thing which Mark Twain S
Col. Sellers proposed TO do with his
matchIess and altogether marvellous
eye water.
1t is curing sore eyes on an enor-
nous scale.
In small, isolated towns, far from
railroads. are five little government
hospitals which treat victims of sore
ewes on a scale as large as that of
many of the numerous city hospitals
devoted to the speciality.
Strange to say, however, its wide
spread existence within the borders
of the United States waited many
years for official discovery" For a
long time the experts talked of trach-
oma as an exotic disease. On the
theory that it came from abroad and
the chief danger to the american
public lay in the admission of in
fected immigrants, trachoma was
made one of the quaTantinable dis
eases. Every applicant for entry into
the United States is carefully exam
med and thousands of otherwise good
citizen material have been turned
back" from our ports because they
had trachOma.
The discovery" came little over
three years ago, when DR.. j. A.
Stuckey, of Lexington, Ky" called
the attention of the federal authori-
ties to the numerous cases of trach-
oma in the Kentucky mountains,
OF 1000 mountaineers examined
it was found that 500 had trachoma.
In consequence the hospitals were es-
tablished-three in Kentucky, one in
Virginia and one in West Virginia
at Jackson, London and Hindman,
KY, and at Coeburn, Va, and WEIGH,
w. Va. These hospitals had over
/, ZOO cases and performed 1913 eye
operations last October.
Trachoma is a disease of the eye
ids. Granulated or sandy lids, it is
often called. 1t leads to serious in
1ammation and blindness. 1t is both !
and durable. Among |
the mOuntaineers the work of curing i
the actual cases is proceeding rapid |
~, but more important is the task of |
teaching the mountain population to !
avoid infection by adopting more |
sanitary living arrangements.

RAILROAD SUING OWNER OF
AUTO HIT BY ROADS ENGINE
Erie System Reverses Procedure Us
uaI in Such Accidents.

PATERSON, ". Reversing the
usual procedure in railway accidents
the Erie Railroad has filed here a
suit to recover $4,000 from the
owner of an automobile which was
wrecked by an Erie railroad train
near Lodi, n. j., more than a year
ago. The defendant is Mrs. Anna
Alexander, widow of Dr. Archibald
Alexander, of this city. After their
marriage in December, 1914, the AL
exanders loaned their automobile to
carry some of the wedding guests to
their homes in Paterson. On their
way home Rev. Charles Merriam was
killed and two others in the
party were injured when the au-
tomobile was struck by train. The
railroad settled the claims for dam
ages by paying $4,000, and now
seeks to recover that amount on the
ground that Mrs. Alexander's chauf-
feuT was careless.

HOW TO GET RID
OF CHRONIC DANDBUFF

The only sure way to get permanent
ly rid of dandruff is to remove the
conditions that cause it and then keep
the hair and scalp in clean healthy
vigorous state so dandruff will never
return. This beats shampoos, which
merely remove the dandruff for a few
days at most. Read & Wager are now
strongly recommending Partisan
Sage, harmless, inexpensive and
quick acting preparation, that is guar
anteed to act directly on the cause of
dandruff a2d entirely remove it or the
purchase price will be cheerfully re-
| funded.
Here is test no one should fail to
try. Get from your druggist pack
age of Partisan Sage. Rub little of
it into the scalp with the finger tips
and see for yourself how the dandruff
disappears, the hair stops falling out
and all aching Immediately ceases
Nothing hurts the hair more than
dandruff, so why not begin using Pari-
sian Sage today and be forever rid
of it?

keep your feet dry; drink plenty of
