THE PLINY cHUTEs.


(Synopsis of preceding chapters:
From the day of their betrothal Mr.
and Mrs. Pliny Chutes have just the
sort of life, teeming with adventure and
thrills, that is admirably suited to a
serial story. They are married in BIZ
plane by a nearby minister driving a
monoplane, the ceremony being enliven-
ed by chase after a crow that has
swallowed the ring, dropped overheard
by the best man. For five years they
are pursued by Sparhawk Bludd, an un-
principled scoundrel, whose aeroplane
factory they had pillaged for the means
to elope, and who trails them in a pow
erful twiplane. Bludu gasoline final
" runs out, and he drops into the Wis
kation Sea- Mr.. and Mrs. Chutes spend
the next seven years among the Kittle
tribes of the far north, being elected
king and queen respectively by the ad-
miring natives, and finally returning
to America, where Pliny goes back to
his former trade and they build a two
story home, the story being 200 feet
above the ground).
Conclusion.
esCan you explain satisfactorily, Mrs.
Chutes," asked the judge, why in this
time of German plots and spies, you
built house whose only entrance is
two hundred feet above the ground9"
ssI didn't want to be bothered by
peddlers, she exclaimed. "And I'm
a home loving woman and never like
to go out
"But your husband" cried the judge
triumphantly. "How does your husband
get into his new home7'
"My husband is steeple jaek'', she
heplied simply.
"The case is dismissed" gasped the
Judge, as he weakly lighted his pipe.

TRACE DISEASE
TO CONSTIPATION

One of the points on which
different schools of medicine prac-
ttcally agree Is, that about 959o Of
all human disease Is directly
traceable to intestinal putrefac-
tton of stomach waste due to in
activity of the bowels, or constt-
patton The eliTninative process
Is an essential factor In digestion
and on its proper functtouing de-
pends the welfare OF the entire
system.
Constipation is a condition that
should never be neglected. AS
soon as the bowels evidence the
slightest disposition to slow up, q
mild laxative should be taken.
The combination OF simple 1axa-
tive herbs with pepstn, known as
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin and
sold in drug stores for fifty cents
a bottle, is highly recommended as
a corrective, acting gently, in an
easy, natural ways without grip

DEMOLISHED A STRAW MAN

The Oregonlan criticises local news item about the
escape of Ewn Hayes from the State hospital for the
insane and says familiarity with these unfortunate be-
ngs unconscously breeds ocularity Indifference in
minds. The ntimaton is that the Capital Journal

ocular in any sense not concerning the person,
but only to the weather conditions. The escaped

deputy sheriff of Multnomah county. AS matter of
fact Hayes had been perfectly harmless patient for
years He had been given broad liberties about the nst
tuition and looked upon by those in authority not

PROPERTY WAS PURCHASED TO
SAVE TARAYERS' MONEY FO2
AN INHRMARY
8xpfHtn IN Dstan the Object IN Making
Purchase and Of Future BensttS
Monday, Nov. rs, 1917.

The members OF the board Of com
rntssioners OF Ohio county have issued
the following statement TO the ta1pay-
er-s of Ohio county explaining in detail
the reason for the purchase Of the
schuulhach farm for the use OF the
county intirmary:
To the Taxpayers Of Ohio County:
In view Of the fact that there seems
TO be a disposition to crittcise the pur'
chase Of the Schmulbach farm Tor the
uses Of a county inflrmary. we deem 1t
fair to state the reasons for this pur-
chase, and why in the judgment OF the
hoard il was a wise and economics
thing to do.
First: It had been apparent for q
number Of years that the intirnlary farm
at Elm Grove was Inadequate ana
moreover poorly located. Elm Gro't
is a growing community. The presence
of the inftrmary in the very heart Oh
prosperous and growing suburb was no'
desirable from a community standpoint
Moreover communication between the
tnfirrnary and the town OF Elm Grove
and the city Of Wheeling had become
80 easy that it was exceedingly difficult

into the town and cen coming 10 ~nee1-

selves disagreeable 20 the public. II
must be remembered that the inmates
Of the ipnrmary are not prisoners. Many
Of them are old and weak. and some
times childish They cannot be SUB
rnitted TO rigid rules and the ease with
which they can wander from the infirn'
arv. and the temptations to do so. In
noblic place like Elm Grove. rendered
i. difficult to maintain discipline.
Pam Too Small
Moreover. in the farm at Elm Grove.
we had only about thirty acres OF land
that was capable Of being cultivated. As
a result many Of the inmates OF the In
urinary who were able to do some work
and who really would have been oene-
hted by healthy occupation in the fields
were idle much OF the time. and the
board had to purchase at high cost
Quantities Of vegetables and meats
which ought to have been produced OF
the inflrrnary farm. During the past
several years the indrrnary has averaged
from eighty to ninety inmates. and The

necessity for buying at high cost much
of the supplies needed.
Second: In the Schmuloach farm We
secured 3SS acres. OF which 800 can be
cultivated. 1t is the belief OF the county
board that On the farm we will be able
to grow all shc vegetables that are need
ed for the infirmary and Jail. and to pro-
