MUSIC AND YOUR
CRANIAL CAVITIES

Los Angeles. Oct. ga method Of
testing the ability Of any person to
sing, without seeing him or even
hearing him, has been devised by
Theophilus Fitz of this city, recent
]y director Of music in the State
Teachers College OF Colorado. This
method. which Professor F'itz says is
his Contribution to science is based
upon a series of measurements Of the
head cavities that he declares he has
worked down to exact mathemat tics.
He does not find 1t necessary to see.
touch or hear the subjects as his
work, which he terms voice diagno-
SIS" has become as definite to him
as mathematics. All he asks is that
certain measurements Of the head be
taken correctly. After learning these
measurements and the sex of the sub
iect, he makes his own calculation as
to the size and shape of the head
cavities and announces whether the
subject. II girl. is a soprano or con-
tralto. and if a youth. whether he
should sing the role Of a basso or q
tenor robusto.
Mamie often sings soprano just
because Susie does, although she
ought to be singing contralto." says
Professor Fitz. And Bill insists
upon singing bass, because he thinks
it is manly. when he really ought to
be Il tenor
Persons with round heads make
the best singers, he says. because
their head cavities are the most SYM
metrical: those with long heads come
next and those with oval Uranium
rank last.
Its nonsense" he says "for people
to pass four or five years studying
music. to ascertain whether they can
sing and IL so, what part. when by
this method, they can obtain such a
decision immediately"

turns sent to the secretary of State
showed that H. L. Graham. Demo.

DR.. Phillips will then petition the

GREATEST DANGER
FOLLOWS GRIP
Weakened Victims Fall Easy
Pray to Other Diseases

The getting-well stage Of grip,
pneumonia or other illness is the
most dangerous of all because the
body, weakened by the disease, is.
wide open to attacks of other lurking
germs.
That is why all the organs Of the
body must be kept in their best
working order, not only to drive out
the poison left by the disease, but
that the patient shall regain strength
as soon as possible to avoid further
attacks resulting from the poisons in
the system.
AS a means toward good health
after any illness Father Johns Medi-
cine builds up the body because it is
all pure wholesome nourishment and
free from opium, morphine, chloro-
form or other poisonous drugs o. al
cohol. Father Johns Medicine has
had 60 years success for colds and
throat troubles, coughs and sore
Threats, and as tonic and body
builder.

Over Relief From Nervous
Indigestion

Many American people suffer from
nervous indigestion. Worry. a deep
grief, overwork, lack of exercise or a
general run-d down condition OF the
system will cause it. Among school
children overstudy and confinement
in badly ventilated rooms will bring
1t on. It is disease Of the nerves
rather than OF the digestive organs
and is corrected by giving needed
nourishment to the nervous system
by building up the blood.
Rev. Giles Schumann, of No. 1882
Third street, Rensselaer,. N. T., Lu-
theran minister. recommends the
tonic treatment for nervous indiges-
ton very highly and is enthusiastic
over the benefit that he has received.
4 think that my trouble was caused
by overwork and worry" says Mr..
Schumann. For an hour or two aft
er eating suffered distress from gas
on the stomach and at times had sick
headaches. l lost weight, was rest
less and did not get proper benefit
from my sleep. My trouble extended
over a period of two years and al
though l tried many remedies Moth
ing gave me permanent relief until I
tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
i learned Of the pills through read
ing an article in newspaper and I
had taken them only three or four
days before ] noticed a marvellous,
almost miraculous change for the
hnffar
tinued. In my case DR.. Williams
Pink Pills worked like charm. Be
fore l had finished the first box felt
that l was fully recovered but kept
on. 1 am greatly invigorated and
strengthened in body and mind and
am again enjoying life.
I am recommending DR.. Williams
Pink Pills whenever l find anyone
who is suffering from nervousness or
stomach trouble.
Or. Williams Pink Pills are an
ideal tonic for nervous people be-
cause they are nom alcoholic and
nervous patients should avoid al
coholic stimulants.
The treatment consists largely in
rest, recreation and the use OF the
tonic, the discontinuance of any prac-
tice that may have caused the trou-
BILE and abstinence from tea, coffee
and stimulants. AS the nerves re-
ceive their nourishment through the
blood the latter must be built up and
made rich and pure. Especially il
there is loss of weight and pallor in
dicating a weakness of the blood, DR.
Williams Pink Pills are best adapted

H. A. SHOREY, JR., DEPU.
TY SECRETARY OF STATE

Secretary Of State Frank W. Ball
at $50 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
Oct. %. 1918. commissioned Henry A.
Shorey, Jr.. as deputy secretary .of
State. This makes two deputies in
the office Of the secretary Of State,
the other being Deputy L. Ernest
Thornton. who has held that position
since Mr.. Ball became secretary.
The new deputy. Mr.. Shorey. will
have charge of the engrossing, the
elections and the Automobile Regis
tration Bureau, Montford S. Hill, who
has been in charge of the latter bu-
reau. having resigned.
Deputy Thornton will retain charge
Of the commissions and the corpor-
atoms.
The law provides for the appoint
ment, il he wishes. by the secretary
Of State Of deputies, But this is the
second case where two have been
appointed that is within the memory
Of man. The old records may con-
tain other dual appointments. but
they are not recalled. The other oc-
casion was in 1895. when Secretary
Of State Nicholas Fessenden appoint
ed Byron Boyd and Abel e. Russell
A. his deputies.
It may be stated In connection with
the above appointment that Mr..
shorey also on Tuesday announced
his withdrawal as a candidate for
secretary Of the Senate and that Mr..
Hill. formerly with the Automobile
Bureau. announced his candidacy for
the secretaryship.

Bowdoinham Town Farm.

Superintendent and matron. Mr..
and Mrs. T. H. Rogerson. Expert
ence since April 1916. Salary: $40.
free rent, cords of wood, use of
farm.
Inmates: No inmates. Five tramps
were entertained within a year.
The part of the house intended for
inmates is uninhabitable, with fallen
ceilings, rotten floors and general
neglect and decay. The town owns
one wooden bed. There is cell
without window, for misdemean-
ants.
Sanitation: 1t is said that the
water is not fit for use. Drainage is
only on surface and is poor. Two
earth closets not we'll enclosed and
contents not removed as they should
be. Flies numerous in house.
Recent improvements: Some re-
pairing and painting in keepers part.
Recommendations and suggestions
This almshouse is unfit for use and
the expense incurred in running it is
needless under the circumstances.
The matron reports that the select
men have not visited and inspected
the premises this year. The general
housekeeping is very poor for a pub
lie institution, and as the superin-
tendent and matron have eight chill
dren OF their own they would have
no time to care adequately for pauper
inmates, even if the buildings were
repaired SO that they could be kept.
Thus the arrangement is extravagant
for the town and makes no suitable
provision for the sick and aged Door.

Benton Town Farm.

Superintendent and matron, Mr.
and Mrs. Manley Gerry. Experience,
since April 1918. Salary: They have
use of farm and two COWS and re-
cefve $500 a week for three inmates
and $500 for another.
The inmates are: Men so years of
age. one; over 80, one; women under
80. one; over so, one: total, four.
OF this number one was feeble mind :
ed, one crippled, one sick in bed, re-
quired assistance in dressing. etc.
Separate quarters are provided for
the latter. Largest number present
at any one time since the previous
inspection, five; smallest, four; nor
NAL capacity, five.
Arrangements for separation of the
sexes is poor. Bathing required
weekly. Individual towels are used.
One couple live in two rooms by
themselves. Another inmate works
away much of the time. The in.
mates part was clean but gloomy as
the trees and bushes give too much
shade. One woman cares for two
rooms and her sick husband Anoth-
helps little in outside work.
Repair is generally good. A new
kitchen floor is needed. Furniture
and equipment is generally good and
sufficient. Beds and bedding: Com
Portable and clean. Matron has been
wagins a successful fight against
vermin. Kitchen haS refrigerators,
etc. Food is kept in a clean cellar
way and in a screened closet in the
cellar. Sanitation: Two earth closets.
Fire protection: None. Recent i'm
provements: Papering and white
washing of four rooms.
Recommendations and suggestions
That trees be cut to allow more
sunlight in the inmates part: pro-
vision of rocking chair for inmate
upstairs.
