Father Of Punctuation.

The present system Of punctuation,
now used in all modern languages with
but insignificant variations, was intro
duced in the first half of the fifteenth
century by Venetian printer named
Aldus Manuti. He is the real father
of punctuation marks--of the full stop,
comma, semicolon, colon, question and
exclamation marks, apostrOphe and in
verified commas. Manutius' system was
adopted later by all printers until 1t
finally established itself throughout
Europe.-Louisvillc Courier-Journal.

LONDON, July 5.-Philip Schied
mann majority Socialist leader stated
in the Reichstag that he had nothia=

ment regarding peace. They cry for
peace with honor has reached its
highest pitch among the masses. The
action Of Schiedemann is considered
important as for the first time since
the beginning of the war that the

bound to have far reaching effect

Ut is characteristic of

s'three score years and ten," to look
Il back over the days that are gone
and thoughtfully live them over.
l find myself, at seventy-one, frequently
drifting back a quarter of century, when
1 see myself in the little drug store owned
at Bolivar, Mo-, making and selling a
vegetable compound to my friends and
customers what was then known only as
DIR. Lewis Medicine for Stomach, Liver
and Bowel Complaints.
For many years while was perfecting my
formula / studied and investigated the
laxatives and cathartics on the market and
became convinced that their main fault
was not that they did not act on the bowels,
but that their action was too violent and
drastic, and upset the system of the user;
which was due to the fact that they were
not thorough enough in their action, some
simply acting on the upper or small intes-
tines, while others would act only on the
lower or large intestines, and that they
almost invariably produced habit re-
curing augmented doses.
I believed that a preparation to produce
the best effect must first tone the liver,
then act on the stomach and entire alimen-
tary system. If this was accomplished, the
medicine would produce q mild, but
thorough elimination OF the waste without
the usual sickening sensations, and make
the user feel better at once.
After experimenting with hundreds OF
different compounds, at last perfected the
formula that is now known as Natures
nemsoY, which truly believe goes further
