Man and Wife Cannot Testify.

On May Is local magistrates courts
will be affected by a new law regarding
the testimony of wife or husband
aeains, each other On the day named
the legislatures measure dealing with
testimony of man and wife at law in
preventing man or wife from testifying
against each other, in any court, either
on felony or misdemeanor charge,
except at the request OF the defend
ant, goes into effect
In any other words IL man abuses
his wife, the wife cannot testify against
him except at his request Vice versa
il woman attacks her husband he
cannot testify against her except at
her request. This law will knock po-
lice court sessions sky high and will
tend TO elevate the court TO level near
criminal court, for the police will have
to dig up more competent testimony.
This holds true as we'll in justice shops,
criminal courts and in fact all the
courts.
A man or wife cannot testify against
each other except at the request OF the
defendant even in a case in which the
accused is charged with an ofense
against the child, father or mother, Sis
ter, or brother, or either Of them.
Under the old law which remains
unchanged, a child may testify against
a parent.

Up Rises the Corncob.

Hitherto the humble corncob has
been regarded almost exclusively as a
bit of natures handiworS that served
no distinctive purposes beyond its pri-
nal one IL is true that in some Sec
tions of the country the cob has been
fashioned into pipe bowls which have
contributed to the pleasure and COM
fort, no doubt, of tobacco smokers.
Corncobs have been used, too, for fuel,
with Indifferent results. Aside from
these forms Of occasional utility the
cob is regarded as a hopeless waste
product and thrown away.
But now comes the Department OF
Agriculture with a report in which
the modest corncob suddenly finds it.
self glorifed. Instead OF being
worthless bit Of refuse, the whole cob
can be converted into valuable SUBJ
stances. Thirty-fve per cent OF IL is
tranSformable into crystalline glucose,
which has many uses one OF them be-
ine the production OF alcohol. Think
of il! Alcohol from corncobs F! Anoth-
er use is the making of what is called
adhesive" which is demanded in the
production of FIBRE board and paper
boxes. 1t appears from the report
that if this corncob adhesive could be
made colorleSS. instead OF retaining It's
brown tint, il would replace the ad-
hesive now utilized in starch, deStrine,
-four paste. and kindred articles. And
this replacement could be effected by
the use of only per cent of the annual
yield of cobs.
All this is much like finding gold
in desert or something TO eat in dish
Of prunes. Corn cobs may look man
kind in the face and hold their heads
up in the company OF useful commod-
tiles, for they are TO play an important
part in the scheme of industry. The
corn itself may lose some prestige by
constitutional amendment, but the cob
by producer of the stalk-thus s,rug-
giles manfully TO save the reputation OF
the family of usefulness.

Weak Kidneys Make

Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills of Shepherdstown People.

AS one weak link weakens a chain,
so many weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final break
ing-down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gener-
ally when their activity is lessened
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and there
is an ever-ncreasing tendency towards
dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's disease,
When the kidneys fail there is no real
help for the sufferer except kidney
help.

The Presidents action in trying TO
save the brewers and wine-growers is
not viewed with favor by his own
church people. The commissioners
of the l3lst General Assembly OF the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States in session in 81. Louis on Tues
day adopted the following resolution,
a copy OF which was cabled TO Presi-
dent Wilson:
"This assembly learns with pain
that the President OF the United States
has recommended TO Congress that II
repeal a part Of wartime prohibition,
and in view Of this fact we most
earnestly petition Congress that 1t not
only retain the measure but that the
measure be enforced 10 the fullest
extent, 10 the end that the needs OF the
world for food may be met, and that
the efficiency and morale OF our own
people be preserved"
Rev. william Kindman, OF Column

Presbyterian Church and for a man
holding so high an Office as that OF
