HE RATIFIED LIKE A FORD.
Doctors Find i52 Pieces Of Junk in

Pittsburg Post: He sure did rattle

Thus did DR.. Eldridge L. Eliason of
the Philadelphia hospital report on the
success Of an operation on joseph

Quinlan was taken to the hospital
three weeks ago. He complained OF
severe pains about the abdomen. DIR.
Eliason had been called TO attend him
The doctors in diagnosing the case ran
the gamut from just plain collie to ap.
pendlcitis
Finally after due deliberation and
consultation, three surgeons decided
that Quinlan was suffering from gall
stones. He was taken TO the operating
room today.
When the abdomen wall was opened
and the gall bladder cut through the
stones were found and extracted. The
surgeons thought they had completed
their task. They were about TO sew
up the wound.
In cleaning out the aperture, DR..
Eliasons hand rubbed against the
outer wall OF the stomach. There was
something hard within. The surgeons
gathered about for an examination.
Many pokes and Jabs and squeezes

WASHINGTON TO ENGLISH EYES.

AN ANCIENT LEGEND MADE GOOD

Cincinnati Times-Star: Legend tells
Of an ancient nation Of female warriors
the Amazons, who were said to have
lived in Pontus, near the shore of the
Euxine sea, where they maintained an
Independent government under the rule
of a queen. These hardy women, so
runs the tale, carried war into many
neighboring countries, including Sythia
and Thrace and TO the cosast of Asia
Minor, even penetrating to Arabia and
Egypt. They were seldom made to
swallow their bitter portion of defeat.
Today, according to the war cables
from Petrograd, woman is again TAX
ing her place in battle. The Death
Battalion" in the Russian army on the
eastern front, reports say, is full in
the fight and is acquitting itself hero
ically. We read such lines as Ensign
Mile. Vera Butchkareff has been sent
to hospital suffering from shell shock"
and "the Death Battalion rushed for
ward firing their rifles with deadly eff.
feet"
II is a strange situation in Russia
which finds women standing fast un-
der fire, and thousands Of men turning
their backs to the foe and delivering
over their own soil. If these traitors
are capable Of shame, the spectacle
Of women fighting their battles for
them must sink deep into their souls.

An Effective Laxative

Or. CaIdWelrS Syrup PeDSin Highly

In children the slightest irregular

experienced mother knows that by
training her children to regularity
in this respect, and when occasion
arises administering mild laxative,

U S FARM OUTPUT
SETS HIGH RECORD.
VALUE OF CROPS AND ANIMAL
PRODUCTS FOR 1916 EXCEEDS
ALL MARKS OF PAST.

Washington, Jan 20:-American
farm products attained a gross value
of sl1S, ,449. 100000 in 1916, making
that year the greatest in point of
value of any in the Nations exist
ence. This estimate of the years
gross value of farm products, an
nounced today by the department of
agriculture, exceeds by S2,674 .000,-
600 the total of 1915, the previous
record, and by more than three and
a half billion dollars the value in
1914.
Crop production for the year was
comparatively low and did not reach
record figures except in few minor
instances but high prices sent total
values up.
Crops were valued at S9.l11, ,OOO,-
900 and animal products at $4.33S,-
100000. The crop value exceeded
that of 1O15 by s2,2O4, 100000 and
that of 1914 by $2,299, 100000.
Crops alone in 1916 were WORTH
more than crops and animal products
combined in any year prior to 1912.
Four crops in 1916 each exceeded
a billion dollars in value. The corn
production is put at S2,265, 900. 900:
Gotten. 81, ,4O6. 900. 900; hay. 81, 1,162.-
100000; wheat, $1,026, ,OOO, 900.

Goina for N. Y. Cotton Exchange.

Washington, January Ex-senator
E D Smith Of South Carolina today
called a conference of Southern
members of Congress, owing to COM
plants that have come from farm.
ers. bankers and merchants and bus
mess organizations of the South that
the cotton exchange of New York is
selling and buying contracts below
what cotton can be bought for in the
spot market of the South and that
the effect is to demoralize the entire
trade and make legitimate hedging
impossible. The result is disastrous
to any legitimate trading with the
exchanges and equally so upon the
export and domestic cotton business
it is claimed.
Senator's E D Smith of South Car
olina and Hoke Smith of Georgia and
Representative Hehin of Alabama
today agreed at the conference to
take up the matter with view Of
determining what steps to take to
correct this evil.
An investigation of the actual
transactions of the exchange by the
department of justice or some COM
petent body authorized and desig-
mated by Congress has been suggest
ed, Just what steps will be taken has
not been determined, but the evil
will be corrected, so Senator Smith
declared tonight.
