DEATH DUE TO EXHAUSTION
Man Who Succumbs to Exposure Is
Not Really "Frozen," as It Is
Generally Understood.

During the deep sleep which follows
extreme fatigue the sensldveness OF
the nervous system is greatly reduced,
and it becomes unable to perceive the
lowness of temperature. The uncon-
scious sleep gradually passes into the
unconsclousness of collapse. Accord
ing to the popular belief such man
dies "frozen to DEATH" but as mat
ter of fact he was killed long before
his temperature fell to zero.
What really killed him was the re-
ductlon Of the activity of his tissue,
which always follows the loss of nerv-
Gus control. AS a result there was
less and less chemical change accom-
panied by the production of heat, and
at an internal temperature Of about 6S
degrees life ceased.
That is why, as experience has often
shown, the weary traveller who gives
way to the imperative desire to sleep
on the line of march Is doomed to
death when he has no adequate pro-
lection from extreme cold.

ENDS DYSPEPSIA,
INDIGESTION, N, GAS
"Pape'S DiapepSin" cures sick,
sour Stomachs in five minutes
Time II!

Really does" put bad stomachs In
order-"really does" overcome indiges
tion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and
sourness in five minutes-that-ju
that-makes Pape's Diapepsin the lar
gest selling stomach regulator in the
world. If what you eat ferments into
stubborn Jumps, you belch gas and
eructate sour, undigested food and
acid; head is dizzy and aches; breath
foul; tongue coated; your insides filled
with bile and indigestible waste, re-
member the moment "Papes Diapep
sin" comes in contact with the stomach
all such distress vanishes. It's truly
astonishlng-almost marvellous, and
the Joy is its harmlessness.
A large fifty-cent case of Pape's Dia-
pepsin will give you hundred dollars
worth of satisfaction.
It's worth its weight in gold to men
and women who can't get their stom
achs regulated. It belongs in your
home-should always be kept handy
in case Of sick, sour, upset stomach
during the day or at night. It's the
quickest. surest and most harmless
stomach doctor in the world.-Adv,

Sure Death to Flies.

With the sound of the busy city
droning an accompaniment to their
death struggles, some 500 of the most
carefully nurtured flies that ever flew
were executed in bath of alcoholic
gas in New York recently.
The terrible massacre was the coup
d'etat, the concluding triumph, of
Messrs. Beaumont Alexander and l..
Gossett, late of London, England, who
have come to America with gaseous
mixture which they say will reduce
the fly population to nil and create
havoc among all other insects.
For weeks they labOred to collect
flies to prove the truth of their as
sertions. They searched stables,
sought the recesses where the fly is
supposed to have its winter abode, and
offered real money for single fly or
pair. The gas, which has an alco-
holic base, first intoxicates the fly and
then paralyzes him, leaving him with
his sensory nerves useless, so that he
falls to the ground and is dead.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger Of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not inhame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just thinkl You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit Of pain or soreness.
II your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

GOLF AN old GAME
Was Once Played in Holland on
the Ice.
Goes Back at Least Five Centuries
So Popular in Scotland in 1857
1t Interfered With Other
Games.

"You have to be a fine rider, do you
aot, to play golf?" was the commonest
question in regard to the game not
more than 50 years ago. At that time
The man who Travelled about with set
Of golf clubs was an object of some
astonishment to his fellow travellers!
And yet the game of golf, according
20 the new Encyclopedia Britannica.
goes back at least five centuries. 1t is
portrayed by early Dutch painters, who
generally showed it being played on
ice! But one of the pictures in Il
Dutch illumined Book of Hours, now
in the British museum, is painting of
three men putting at hole in the turf
as in our modern golf. Although the
Dutchmen played and painted golf.
they did not write about it and we
have no records describing the game.
Just when Scotland took up golf
Is unknown, but 1857 it was already so
popular, says the Britannica, that it in
terfered with the more important pur-
suit of archery. In May, 1471, an act
Of the Scottish parliament was passed
forbidding this sport: "Futeball and
Collie forbidden. Item, it is statut and
ordaint that in ma place Of the realme
there be usit fute-ball golfe or uther
silk unprofitabill sports" etc.
1t is rather curious that this is an
edict of James " who later became
very much attached to the practice Of
the "unproftabill sport''-not only he,
but his daughter, Mary Stuart. 1t was
alleged by her enemies that, as showing
her shameless Indifference to the fate
of her husband, very few days after
his murder, she twas seen playing golf
and pall-mall in the fields beside Sc
ton"
Golf has from old times been known
in Scotland as "the Royal and Ancient
Game of Golf" Many mOnarchs have
made it their favorite diversion and
since its introduction into America all
the presidents have found it favorite
form of exercise.
There is still standing in Edinburgh
monument of the prowess of james
II as a golfer After the Restoration
James, then duke Of York, was sent to
Edinburgh in 1851 as commissioner of
the king to parliament. He was chal-
lenged by two Englishmen, mobiles Of
his suite, to play match against them,
for very large stake, along with any
Scotch ally he might select. With his
partner, who was one "Johne Pater-
sone," a shoemaker, the duke easily
won the game. He made over half of
the large stake to his humble co-ad-
jutor, who herewith built himself a
house at No. n Cannongate, which has
always been called Golfers Land.

SEQUEL TO GOVERNORS ACT
Lube Martin Convicted of Murder in
kentucky.

Murray, Ky, Feb. 22.--Governor
A. o. Stanley's previous efforts to

here today in the conviction for muir
der of Lube Martin, a negro, charged
with killing Guthrie Duiguid, a

imposed.
A continuance granted in Martins
case by Judge Carlos Bush early las,
January dissatisfied the citizens and
a mob was formed. Disorders which
ensued occasioned hurried night
trip to Murray by the governor,
through whose personal efforts order
was restored.
Martins trial was conducted under
the protection of a company of Ken.
tucky National Guardsmen. The
jury was selected from ven 70
drawn from Christian. nearby
county.
The verdict apparently has remov-
ed any danger of mob violence.
