Arsenic Absorbed by Living Hair.

New light has been thrown on the
legal side of arsenic poisoning, says
the Scientific American. 1t has been
found that arsenic compounds are abb
sorbed by the hair Of living persons,
though not absorbed after death. In
the hair Of a man arsenic has been
known to reach q cfncentration Of one
to five parts In 100000. The deposit
takes place In the hair after it has
been absorbed by the abdominal Or
gans-liver and kidneys in particular.
Therefore, In cases of acute, quick
poisoning, a chemical analysis of the
hair would show no arsenic, while 1t
would be found in the liver and kid
neys. On the other hand, If slow ar
senic poisoning were suspected, an
alysis would show arsenic in the hair.
but not in the liver and kidneys, and
it could safely be assumed that the
poisoning was not recent. The legal
value Of such evidence is apparent.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Ro0t, Dr.. Kilmer's Prescrir-
ton, Overc0meS Kidney Trouble

II is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the p%oisons
and waste matter from the system BY
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
e~rcise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
IL DR.. kilmer's prescription used in pr.
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

fused to review the convictions OF four
leaders in the 1915 " est Virginia coal
strike, who were sentenced to six
months Imprisonment for contempt OF
court in failing to obey an injunction
by a federal district judge.
The cases are another outcrop OF
litigation in connection with Judge
Dayton's decree that the United Mine
Workers was an unlawful conspiracy
In it's organization and operation. The
defendants were members Of the union
and were found guilty of melting min.
ers to leave or refuse employment.
The conviction was affirmed by the
Fourth federal circuit court Of appeals

ARBITRATION is PROPOSED
No Clash On Mail censorship-Three
Ways Suggested To Settle Row
With England.

Washington-State department Of.
ficials intimated strongly that this gov,
eminent will not permit the answer OF
the allies to the American protest
against censorship OF the mails to be
come a dangerous diplomatic question,
II was stated the whole matter could
be arranged by diplomacy in n Of
three ways. One was to make answer
in another note demanding conces-
sions categorically. Another was to
endeavor to have Secretary of State
Lansing and Sir Cecil Spring. Rice. the
British ambassador, reach an agree.
ment- The third suggestion would be
arbitration, II no agreement could be
had on the main points In this case.
Secretary Lansing declined to an
swer any questions concerning the In
timation In the British reply that he
had conceded the right OF the allies to
examine first-class mail for contra.
band.
The British note refers to a com.
munication received from this country
subsequent to the American note Of
May "a. It may be in this later com
munication that the alleged conces
sion was made. The communication
has never been made public by the
state department.
The British reply to the American
protest against the blacklist was ex-
pected to arrive here this week. 1t Is
now reported the reply will not be
presented within a week or ten days.
It has been stated that the American
reply on the mails will not be formu-
lated until the note on the blacklist
has been received. The conditions.
therefore, appear to suggest that &C.
ton on both issues will be delayed un
til safely after election.

Now York.-The new 13,400.ton
armed munitLon and passenger steam
er Alaunia OF the Cunard line was
sunk Oct. 10 by a mine in the Eng
lish channel between Falmouth and
London.
Gable advices received In this city
by Charles P. Sumner, general agent
OF the Cunard Company, stated that
Capt. II, M, Benson and a majority
Of the crew was saved. although some
are still missing.
The 243 passengers. 1856 cabin and
&c steerage, that the Aiaunia carried
from this port on Oct. 7, were landed
at Falmouth and probably owe their
lives to that fact.
The Alaunia had a cargo OF 10, 900
tons OF wal munitions, but examina-
ton OF her manifest filed at the Gus
toms house the day she sailed reveal
ed she had no explosives on board.
The message announcing the loss to
the Cunard line OF q tt'rd passenger
vessel read as follows:
"Alaunia struck mine in English
channel. Sank during forenoon. Ben
iron and majority Of the crew saved.
Some missing"
The Alunia left New York on the day
that the U-53 arrived at Newport. Her
agents considered the ~postponement
OF the sailing on account of the sub
marine risk and the value Of the lin
er's cargo. She sailed, however, on
scheduled time and news OF her safe
arrival in England has been anxious
ly awaited here.
The Alaunia Is the third vessel lost
by the Cunard line within the last year
and a half, The first was the Lusi-
tania, the second the Franconia.
The Alaunia's cargo consisted of
10000 bushels OF wheat, 1900 sacks
OF flour, 1,347 packages OF zinc oxide,
494 barrels Of lubricating oil, 307 bar
rels Of phosphate OF ammonia, besides
copper and gasoline. The manifest
