Cow Wound Watch.

McAlester, Okla, October 30
George Burton, prosperous citizen
with good reputation for veracity
declares he left his vest with his
watch in a pocket hanging in his
barn three years ago.
Recently Mr.. Burton slaughtered
his COW and embedded in the animals
intestines, he found the lost watch.
The timepiece, according to Mr.. Bur-
ton, was ticking and but four minutes
slow
The only explanation Mr.. Burton
can give for the statement that the
watch was running was that the
passage of food through the cows
1ntestines had turned the stem and
kept the watch in operation through
out its intestinal experience.

Splendid Way TO
Reduce Your Weight

There is perhaps no one thing that
so plainly shows the passing of our
youth as the horrible tendency to put
on too much weight after we have
reached the age of 25 or 80 years
However young our faces may appear
the sagging, ilabby figure and forty
inch waist gives us away"
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the food
we eat into fat because there is NOT
enough oxygen in the blood to pro-
duce a proper combustion to DESTROY
the excess fatty tissue. Fat people
will be pleased to learn of a simple
home method that is wonderfully ef-
iicient in reducing weight, quickly
and easily without a starving diet
violent massage or strenuous eXer-
else. Go to any drug store and get
a box of Phynola: take five grains
after each meal and at bed time. This
treatment will often give quick re-
lief from overburdening fat Phy-
nola taken at meal time assists the
stomach in giving you the benefit OF
the food you eat; at the same time
dissolves the fatty tissue from any
part of the body where there is excess
sive fat. By this method many have
reduced their weight a pound a day
and there is no tiabbiness left. Gorgas,
the druggist Keller's Drug store,
Georges Drug Store, J. Nelson Clark
or al y druggist can supply you with
the genuine Phynola at a small cost.

Natives Shave Heads
to Let the Heat Out

Though the PHILIPPINES have
made marked strides in culture, in
dustry and civilization in recent
years, as set forth in their recent
pleas for independence, some ma
tives of the islands, as do a few
| indian tribes in the United States,
still present striking subjects for
study by ethnologists, according to
bulletin from the National Geo.
graphic Society.
The Negritos are generally con-
| sidered to be the true aborigines of
the Philippines and are racially
/ numerous tribes of the islands,"
says the bulletin. which is based
! On a communication to the society
! from Dean C. Worcester.
| They are of low, sometimes
even dwarfish, stature, with very
! dark brown or black skins. Their
heads are covered with closely curl
ing hair and many of them have
| abundant woody boards. They often
have so-called 'pepper-corn' hairs
distributed very abundantly over
their bodies. Their noses are broad
and flat, their lips thick, their arms
dlsproportionately long.
They do not tattoo their bodies,
put ornament them with scar pat
terms, produced by cutting through
the skin with sharp pieces of bam-
boo and rubbing dirt into the
wounds thus formed in order to in
feet them and make good big scars.
The men wear small clouts and
the women short skirts reaching
from the waist to the knee. They
are very fond of brightly colored
cloth, scarlet being preferred. but
individuals who cannot get cloth,
and there are many such, use in
stead the so-called bark cloth so
widely employed by inhabitants OF
the islands on the Pacific. Men fire.
quently shave the crowns of their
heads in order to get the heat
out
Throughout the year they sub
sist, chiefly on vegetable products
which they obain from the virgin
forest, and on fish and game. They
are wonderful woodsmen and dis
play great skill in taking fish and
game and in still-hunting theil
enemies; but here their efficiency
ends. They are good at nothing
, else, ana tnelr intelligence is of ar
exceptionally low order.
. Many of the Negritos point theil
} front teeth. but not by filing them
, as is commonly supposed. A CHR
of wood is held behind the tooth

a bolo is placed in such a position
as to slant across the corner oi
! tooth to be removed and a sharT
! blow on the bolo chips a piece from
! the tooth. The opposite corner is
similarly operated upon and an ar.
tistic point is thus produced
The music and dancing of the
Negritos are especially interesting
Many of them know how to make
and to play both the bamboo nose

Small Boy Dies From
Injuries Received When
Struck by Automobile

Carlisle, Pa, Sept. 26.-William
Calaman, a small son of Raymond
Calaman, was run down about s
o'clock last evening near his home
on the Walnut Bottom road, about
two miles west of Carlisle, BY am
automobile driven by Mrs. Samuel
Kitzmiller, of Shippensburg.
The boy was playing in the road
near a barn and the car swerved
and hit him. After the boy was
struck, Mrs. Kitzmiller is believed
to have become unnerved and ran
the car into a telegraph pole. She
then tried to bring the boy to Car
Isle, but owing to damage to the
car she could not do SO. f. +.
BarnitZ, a well-known lawyer OF
Harrisburg and Carlisle, came along
in a car and hurried the lad to the
Carlisle Hospital. There it was
found that he had sustained a frac-
tured skull and internal injuries.
He died in the hospital about twenty
minutes after reaching there. Mrs.
Kitzmiller is the wife of Samuel
Kitzmiller, the well-known head of
a local trolley company. The cor
oner is investigating the tragedy.

Shipping Unions, claiming to repre-

men of allied trades, met to decide
whether their organizations would
declare a sympe<letic strike. Such
strike already has been author

In the meantime the usual con-

opposing generals in the pivotal bat

no important change in conditions.
At Pittsburgh two additional small
plants closed and an attempt to re-
open third was reported by the

is in universal use, although some
Negritos play it with a drum
stick, which others beat it with
their hands. Many of their dances
are pantomimic. Their singing is
often weird in the extreme.
There are many stories current
to the effect that Negritos are often

the forest in a state of absolute

Get Grace'S Reply

Allentown, Pa, Sept. 70. - LABOR
leaders here were given a summary
of the contents of President e. G.
Grace's reply by letter to the ma
tional committee for organizing iron
and steel workers.
In replying he caustically referred
to the fact that had come to his at
tention that the national committee
had gone to the extent of prepar-
ing literature declaring a strike
which had already been placed in
the hands of some of the employees
of the Bethlehem Steel Company.
He defended the system of col
lective bargaining instituted by the
company with the men and said
that under it the men had an op-
portunity to take up grievances at
any time with the officials OF the
company and adjust them. He also
pointed out that the men have
means whereby the plans of the sys-
tenn of collective bargaining can be
changed, if unsatisfactory. For this
reason the Bethlehem Steel Company
deems a conference with the national
committee Unnecessary.
May Postpone Strike
Following receipt of the telephone
message a meeting of representatives
of the trades in Bethlehem was held.
OptimiStS expressed the Dellel tn,lt
the national committee might decide
to postpone a strike, called for next
Monday, because the relations of the
American Federation of Labor with
Bethlehem Steel in it's shipyards are
very satisfactory. Some of the ma
tional leaders, it is said, feel that
arrangements may yet be made to
settle the matter without strike. The
of the trades declared
however, that they fear they cannot
now hold the men IL the national
committee orders postponement-
Local leaders, replying to Mr..
Grace's contentious, state that the
Bethlehem system of collective bar
gaining is one-sided and that their
request that the United States secre-
tary of abor be arbitrator OF dis
putes has been refused by the com
pany.

Foster Cannot Say
That Gary's Refusal
Will Mean Strike

Pittsburgh, Sept. 26.-The question
of whether there will be a strike
of the Bethlehem steel workers
early to-day hangs in the balance.
Following the refusal last night of
President Grace, of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, to meet with the
steel workers national committee,
Secretary Foster, of the committee,
said that he could not say positively
that the refusal means the calling
of a strike.
The situation affects the company's S
plants at Steelton, Lebanon, South
Bethlehem, Titusville and Reading,
in this State and Sparrows Point,
Md.
The text of Mr.. Graces reply TO
the union committee was withheld
by Secretary Foster, who said that
he was mot at liberty to make it
public"
The committee will meet before
next Monday and take whatever ac-
ton that it deems advisable" Fos-
ter added. "A strike however is
quite probable, but L cannot say
whether it will be next Monday or
when. AS the matter is still in a
process of negotiation there is also
a possibility that the Bethlehem
Company will be given another op-
portunity to meet the unions re-
quest"
Shipbuilders Stay on Job
Mr.. Foster at the close of the ad-
visory committees meeting began
getting in touch with members of
the national committee asking them
to report to Pittsburgh at once. He
said that in all probability the COM
mittee would be in position to con-
slider the reply of Mr.. Grace on Sat
urday.
Should a strike be called in the
Bethlehem works, Mr.. Foster said,
the shipbuilding plants would not be
affected as they are working under
n union agreement.
The Bethlehem Steel Company is
the largest independent steel cor
poration in the United States, en-
ploying between 10000 and $4,000
men, Mr.. Foster explained. He said
the workers in the Bethlehem plants
are among the best organized in the
country.
Mr.. Foster announced that the
advisory committee had made an
immediate reply to Mr.. Grace stat
ing that the matter would be taken
up at once by the national commit
tee. He added also that the Bethle-
hem workers through their officials
had been notified by telephone of the
company's refusal to grant a con-
ference.
According to Mr.. Foster the pres
ent system of collective bargaining
referred to by Mr.. Grace is make
shift company union affair" which
was inaugurated during the war.

 You may be interested in knowing that ten of the biggest commercial poultrymen in the state, as well as the proprietors of more than half of the commercial hatcheries of the state, were among the first to enroll in the poultry correspondence course.

Monroe Salisbury, the movie player, has citrus ranch in the San Jacinto valley of southern California.
 Between pictures it is his habit to motor to Hemet, the town nearest his land, and drop in unexpectedly on the Indian family who live on the place and work in the groves.
 Upon the occasion of recent visit Salisbury found his Indian overseer in angry altercation with a contractor whom Salisbury had hired to build an irrigation dam on the place.
 Salisbury took small part in the conversation, and when he had fin ished the contractor said:
 Guess you don't know much about waterfalls
 Guess maybe I don't" admitted Salisbury, although l was born in Buffalo, where Niagara is the chief point of interest"
 That's nothing" responded the contractor, q was born in Pittsburgh, but I don't smoke"
