The examination of the pharynx and
of the esophagus is made chiefly by
pressing upon the skin covering these
organs in the region of the throat and
along the left side of the neck in the
jugular gutter. Sometimes, when
more careful examination is necessary,
an esophageal tube or probang is
passed through the nose or mouth
down the esophagus to the stomach.

One day in parliament young mem
Der, one of John Redmond's political
opponents, rose to make his maiden
speech.
Although obviously suffering an ag-
ony of nervousness, he managed to say
some bitter things about the Irish
members.
Whereupon one of the Nationalist
started to punctuate his remarks
with jeers, thereby intensifying the
youthful members nervousness to an
almost pitiable degree. Redmond
turned on his follower in fury.

should show that the feed has been

indicates severe Inflammation. Very

Topeka, Kan. Nov. 10.-In Kansas
the human nut attains its richest,
petty personal prejudice is often ex-
plotted as a great moral issue.
''Narrowness between the eyes has
been so long and so often extolled by
the politicians and the press that there
are those who believe it to be a vir-
tue. But a great majority of the peo-
pie of the state are sound at the core.
Those who oppose the sending of
tobacco to the soldiers are an incon-
minority. l doubt that
majority of the teachers favored the
resolution passed by the state asso-
citation. They merely lacked the cour-
age to oppose it.

question. It has contributed. and will
continue to contribute its quota to the

is. WEST ON 'MYSTICS'
Supreme Court Justice Speaks Be-
fore Topeka Ministerial Union.

In his address before the Ministerial
Union this morning, Justice West of
the supreme court gave a cOmprehen-
sive dissertation or his subject, The
Mystics." Speaking from the rostrum
in the Presbyterian church, he ex-
pounded the theory of mysticism, Civ
ing a history of the word, and citing
many examples of various mystics of
history.
The word mystic" is derivation
of the root word "mu," English
mum, and. according to Judge
West, originally meant one who under
stood any secret language or was ini-
tiated into any secret ritual Going
on with the discussion he gave as
illustrations of his points long list
of men whose work in the world was
of especial note and who gave as rea-
or inward illuminatons. One of his
uel Swedenborg who ascribed much
of his power to the fact that he lived
in a natural world with angels and
at the same time had his being in a
natural world with men, One of the
citations from a man of this day is a
quotation from DR.. W. F. Cobb, rec
tor of St. EthelbuTgas, London: The
mystic alone is able to understand the
world we live in
In closing, Justice West says, "Mys-
tcism is a vision rather than q the
DRY, and consideration should be
shown those who have dreams, see
visions, and have illuminations." Ac-
cording to Judge West the cult of
mysticism had its origin in the
twelfth century.

later found the lock again broken.

the shells spread over a wide area.
The attack was made before day
light. A gas alarm was Immediately
sounded. Every man in this particu-
