HOW DOCTORS

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and inhu'

fectiveness until the liver is made thor

step in the treatment is the new, nausea

which are free from the sickening and

mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
Of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with

TWO KINDS OF ADVENTURE
New Yorker Who Offered to Sell His

Jack Hardy, former sailor, living
In New York, who advertised that he

rest of his life to the highest bidder
who had a career of useful adventure
to offer, has received two bids.
A woman offered him $1,000 to be

Jack doesn't think he'll take this, not
being certain what the woman regards
as a successful trip to Egypt. The
other offer was from a man 'and his

AT LEAST IT'S NOT PROBABLE
Judge Was Likely Dead Right When
He Told the Elderly Lady About
His Gown.

The judges of the Marion county
courts recently adopted and published
rul es relating to formal openings of
court sessions, requiring all persons
in the courtroom at the time to stand.
This and the other requirements are
designed to insure dignity and deco
rum.
An elderly woman employed at the
courthouse accosted one Of the judges
in the corridors of the building and
complimented the bench on its a;tf-
tude in conducting court.
"In fact. judge" she added, 81 think
all of you judges ought to DO like
some of the big eastern courts and

Without batting an eye the judge
replied: 81 do wear a gown about

PAID HIM TO- KEEP QUIET
Incident of Wall Street That We Pub
Iish Without Any Affidavit as
to Its Truth.

There was a man in Wall street, en-
ployed as thirty-second assistant cash
ier in a bank. 1t took the bank di-
rectors several weeks to discover who
was talking to the financial reporters
about certain things supposed to be
known only to insiders.
Upon learning his identity the d.
rectors Immediately advanced him to
cashier, on the theory that his new
responsibilities would preclude his
conversing with outsiders on impor-
tant matters. But it didn't work.
The cashier was in a more favorable
position to relay important things to
the financial scribes He was pro-
NOTED to a vice presidency. He talked
louder and more frequently.
In desperation the bank directors
made him president Of the institution.
1t worked wonders. He stopped talk

prepared statements, and while they
were long and windy they revealed
nothing disturbing-From Life.

KILL OWN CHILDREN AT BIRTH
Arioi of Tahiti Look Upon Attempt Of
One of Their Order to Raise
Child as Sin.

Lovers of laughter, song, music,
flowers and birds. the Arioi of Tahiti
killed their own children at birth, and
looked upon the attempt of member
of their order to rear a child as a
sin. While religious causes were
given for this by the leaders and, no
doubt, believed in, the real cause,
Frederick O'Brien tells in the Century,
was a natural one whereby the species,
to prevent over-population of the
South sea island, destroyed its own.
With perfect health and no enemies,
the island would soon have had hard
time finding food.
The Arioi were wandering minstrels,
actors, priests and wonder workers to
which belonged both men and women.
The natives of Tahiti who have es-
capped the blight of civilization are
living proofs that at one time the race
was one Of the most beautiful in the
worlds history, while investigators
declare that arts and civilization were
brought to a high plane hundreds Of
years ago.
