Thrills in Picture

Virginia Pearson will give the aud- fences many a thrill in her new Will liam Fox photoplay, "A Daughter of France" which is being shown at the Empress theater.
 The scenes are laid in the French and German lines and the story is brimful of action. It shows how a French girl suffers during the inva- sion and how she handles the German officer who insists on making love to her while all around the kaiser's sol- diers are destroying homes and souls.
 The play is brought to a satisfactory ending by an unlocked for twist in the story and after you have been amazed at the action of the first part of the play you go away delighted that this French girl wins her battle of love and gains big point for democracy.

HUMAN RACE IS MORE
 UTILITARIAN TODAY
(Des Moinse Register)

A question frequently asked but nev- CT satisfactorily answered is whether the human race is more utilarian to- day than it was some thousands of years ago.
 Men have been traders ever since they learned how to shake hands. The task of earning a living has never been easy for the majority. The past has not appeared to be a period of light labor. but most people look upon any period in the past as less devoted to the spirit of gain than the present :
 And at last the truth of that view is demonstrated. Not long ago accord

 ing to a writer in the Journal of He redity, several hundred thousand cat mumniies were found in Egypt. Each mummy was as carefully embalmed as if it had been a human being instead of a cat. Here was evidence that the worshippers of the great Egyptian cat goddess, Pasht, devoted more than one hour a week to religion. Part of the time they cultivated the banks of the Nile, and the rest of the time they embalmed secred cats.
 But what did the modern inhabitants of Egypt do when they discovered this mummy menagerie! They sold the cats for fertilizer at $15 ton. Think of it! Fifteen dollars a ton for the sacred cats of Pashti It is a sacrilige, but it is typical of a world whose boots are blacked bv the lineai descandants of Homer

OP GRAFTON IS
BEST REMEDY
FOR ULCERS

That medical treatment in the cur
ing of ulcer is not only dangerous,
but is mere gamble, was the state
ment of Surgeon Major John B. Dea-
yer, professor of surgery in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who gave a
heated discussion of diagnosis of gas
trio ulcers at the session of the Tri-
State Medical association in the as
sembly chamber of the capitol last
night at Madison.
He advised operation in the case
of such disease. Seeing or operat-
ing is believing, for it dispels mystery
and sees the truth The medical
treater stands on the outside and
CANDLES, but the surgeon opens the
conditions to the light of day and he
knows what the proper method of
procedure is. | do not believe in
dilly-dallying with medicine and diet.
I may be radical, just as people
thought Theodore Roosevelt was when
he wanted war after the Lusitania
was sunk, but I do not believe in the
medical treatment of gastric ulcers,
for they are too dangerous to trifle
with" declared the surgeon.

HOW WEST POINT
WAS ESTABLISHED
Arthur Andrews Writes Of the His
tory of the Military School
Where He Is Pupil

Mr.. and Mrs. George w. Andrews
have received letter from their son,
Arthur Andrews, who became pupil
at West Point some time ago. the re-
suit of his entrance examination being
a very high grade. A recent letter
home reads as follows:
Dear Ones All:
Camp life has been about usual.
We have dress parades every after
noon and they are fine sights. Friday
there were about 500 Y. M. =. A.
workers here watching us before they
left for overseas duty. There were
tall men, short men, gray-haired men,
and otherwise. A week ago we went
on a short practice march and had
quite a time. We walked about five
miles on hot asphalt pavement. At
night we pitched dog tents and slept
in the open In about two weeks we
leave for a ten-day hike. Then we
will have a good time for our crawl
ing" will be ended. At the end OF
that we go back to barracks and
studies again. Tonight we pull off a
little "color line" entertainment; at
which time we may say anything we
please about upper classmen.
The foundation of West Point as
revolutionary stronghold may be dated
from an order issued on May q, 1776,
by General Washington detailing Gen
erals Putnam and Knox to proceed to
the Highlands and to recommend such
alterations as would put this position
in a proper condition of defense. AS
a result of this order Fort Constitution
on Mortilaars Island and Forts Clin-
ton and Montgomery at the mouth OF
Popolopen creek were erected. In
an effort to cooperate with General
Burgoyne, Sir Henry Clinton in 1777
captured these forts, but due to Bur
goyne's defeat the English troops were
forced to evacuate the captured posi-
tions. Profiting by this, the colon
lists proceeded to fortify West Point
more strongly, and at the end of the
war 100000 had been spent on these
Notifications.
Due to the efforts of General Wash
ington, West Point was purchased by
the government in 1890 for $11, 085.
General Henry Knox was the first to
propose the establishment of a mill
tary academy of the type of West
Point, Alexander Hamilton the first to
draw up well considered plan for
military education, and George Wash
ington may be considered the founder
of the academy itself The academy
was instituted by an act of congress
in March, 1902.
During the first ten years the at
tendance averaged 20 cadets. Under
Colonel Thayer's leadership the school
made its greatest advancement.
Major General Arnold was placed
in command of West Point on August
3, 1880. His headquarters were at

Mr.. Stout is a brother of Dr. A. B.
Stout of New York, formerly resi-.

brothers resides in Albion, her home
for many years. Attorney Stout is
much interested in genealogy and has
found out many interesting things
concerning the family. In early 1900
Richard Stout emigrated to New Am
sterdam from England. He married
a Dutch widow whose husband was
killed by the Indians, following ship

remarkable history of this woman has
been told in several histories and is
the basis of one of Frank r. Stock

Stout was a pioneer settler of New
