HOW THE OPAL GOT NAME
OF BEING UNLUCKY STONE

The opal has long borne the repu-
tation of being an unlucky stone.
This is a superstition for which the
jeweler is to blame. Anyone who
has handled an opal knows of the
brilliant colors that can be seen as
the stone is turned around. These
prismatic effects are produced by
myriads of tiny cracks which reflect
the light from different angles. Nat
urally stone that is cracked here,
there and everywhere is extremely
likely to break or cplit under the pro-
cess of grinding, polishing and set
ting, and it is the frequent cases of
i'll luck the jewelers. have in repair
ing these gems for the market which
has brought about the popular super
stition that misfortune may attend
the wearing of opals.

An incomplete poll of the two
houses of congress shows that tri-

known as the Plumb plan, is as dead
as a door nail. 1t will not even be

single member of the house commit

But for the Presidents insistence
that Congress stay on the job, the

high cost of living by aiding the pres

price of foodstuffs to fair level
and to solve the other legislative
problems the. President has called t.
their attention. Whether this is
merely because of their usual party
perversity, an unwillingness to &c
anything, no matter how necessary
if the suggestion comes from mem
Der of another political party, OF
whether it is due to an unwillingness
to do anything the packers and food
profteers may not approve, the pub
lie may determine. Debate in the

has been the one neyer-failing remedy
swamp Chill Tonic acts quickly and
surely II seldom takes more than
three days to break up chills. And no
purgative has to be taken with it,
the medicine itself acts gently and
agreeabiy upon the liver and bowels.
There is no caiomel in Swamp Chill
Tonic nothing but purely vegetable
ingredients and iron. 1t is tastless
and pleasant to take. Numerous ply
