IN COURT
Money Matters That Lawyers, Judge
and Jury Straighten Out-Trouble
Between Life Long Friends. That
Gets Aired in Court.

The petit jury convened Monday
morning and have been busy pretty
constantly up to the time of gong to
press on Thursday. Monday the court
heard the case of D. Jane Lutz VS.
John c. Elton, j. R. Elton and Julia
Elton, a case involving claim of the
plaintiff against the defendant for
$468.96 with interest accrued and
COSTS The defendant seemed to be
in the majority numerically but the
jury considered the preponderance of
evidence in favor of the plaintiff and
returned verdict of $59730.
Tuesday, Mrs. D. Jane Lutz was
again the plaintiff in the case brought
tor trial before the court. J. C. and
j. R. Elton were the defendants and
the amount claimed was $287.85 with
accrued interest and costs. Evidence
was produced, arguments of counsel
heard and the case given to the jury,
who returned a verdict for the plain
tiff of S368.45.
Wednesday,, a jury was impanelled
in the case of Carpenter VS. Burgess,
a damage suit for SANDER This case
attracted quite large audience and
Eugene Carpenter and William Bur-
CESS the principals in this case are
old residents of Royalton and both are
men who command and merit the es-
TEEN of those who know them. These
men have been nearly lifelong neigh
bors and friends from boyhood, as the
trial progressed with the endeavor of
the lawyers to show either that one
of these men had in effect called the
other chicken thief or that he had
not done so, and as the witnesses gave
this bit of testimony or that as to
what was said and when and where
and by whom, there was borne in up
on the spectator the feeling that care
ss.sss, thoughtless, perhaps malicious
and spiteful gossip had been at work
until the chasm had been made be-
tween these two old neighbors and
friends which perhaps may never be
bridged. In such case nothing can be
gained by either party nor will the
community be in any wise benefited
The little spark of misunderstanding
between two old friends has beer
famed into flame by the tongues OF
gossip and the result is real hurt and
injury in the lives of two good mer
and bitterness and discension in the
community.
Thursday forenoon the jury brought
in a verdict of $1.00 in favor of th'
plaintiff.

criticism upon the unfortunate VIC
tim, but to stand ready to help and en-
courage in any way that may offer and
to consider the possibility of exigen-
cies which may arise to bring finan-
cal disaster in ones affairs. 1.

ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS

A clergyman living near Leyden
was the father of thirteen children.
The eldest, born December 81, 1868,
was Herman Boerhaave, accounted by
many the most famous physician not
only of the 18th but probably of any
century. He died of gout in 1738.
He was an interchangeable teacher,
sometimes lecturing five hours a day
to his students at Leyden. He was
the first to give separate lectures on
ophthalmology (the science of dis,
eases of the eye) and to use magni-
tying glass in the examination of the
eye. He combined with a desire to
study diseases at the bedside, a free
dom from theoretical and philosophi-
cal influence which led him to use the
most modern diagnostic apparatus
which he could secure He was so
famous that Chinese official once
sent him a letter addressed simply
ITO the most famous physician in
Europe" His maxim was Simplicity
is the seal of TRUTH
The modern diagnosis of disease
aims to employ every method which
will reveal the exact mental and ply
| sical condition of the patient. Psyche,
analysis will reveal the depths of the
patients mind almost as clearly as
the X-ray shows the broken bone hid
den beneath the body tissues. The
pressure of the blood against the
vessel walls may be accurately meas
ured and appropriate meansN taken to
ward off an appopletic attack. The
bodily excretions may be anaiyzed and
the efficiency of the excretory organs
determined. Special apparatus per-
mits the examination of the eye, the
ear, the nose, throat, bronchi, and the
interior ofs,various other parts of the
body. Nothing is taken for granted;
the blood is examined, ;, the activity of
the stomach is estimated; the validity
of the nervous system is looked into.
The modern physician finds the dis
ease before he treats it,
i Accurate diagnosis is of Importance
to the public health because an early
and correct knowledge of the pres
ence of a disease affords opportunity
to prevent its spread. The case OF
tuberculosis. which is found early has
an infinitely greater chance of re-
covery than the one which is found
late. Boerhaave recognized these
facts in a general way and applied
them, in fact, according to Rohlfs, he
was the first who made chemica
examination of some of the bodily
excretions.

The Country Newspaper

THERE are not many thoughtful people who will deny
the value of the country weekly newspaper 1t fills
place and meets real need in the community that
other institution publication does Perhaps it
is not generally known that since the price of paper
began advancing shortly after the outbreak of the
European War 300 country newspapers have been
forced to suspend publication The country publishers
found impossible to advance their prices in proportion
to the increased costs to them and the result has been
that papers that barely able to keep going
even making small profit two years ago. unable
to exist The moral to this tale is this If you any
the publisher needs the money and pay it as
possible.
