Many or the permanent heads OF bu
reaus and departments, who arc cs-
ceiIent men and who had their work
thoroly and minutcly organized un-
avoidably had tho splendid system.
which tney had built UP thrown into
eon.usion ny tho size and complexity
OF tho additional tasks, thrust upon
them as an accident of tho war"
All in ALL Mr.. Mellon has come TO a
task probably never c1ccllcd in dim
Guilty by the duty OF any finance min
lister of any country at any time. In
attacking this task Mr.. Mellon in
spires as much confidence as Mr..
hughes does in attacking hts task.
The difference in Mr.. Hughes temper
ament. the fact that his problems arc
more Immediate and more in the pub
lie eye. and the fact that nc is moro
frequently seen by the public, causes
tho confidence in Mr.. Hughes to be
moro widespread. But to those who
have had occasion to observe MIR.
Mellon. the confidence in him is mo-:
less, Mr.. Mellon is an excessively mod
est man. he gives tho impression OF .
rather shy country banker. Who al
ways takes the ouietcst and most un-
ostcntatious path from his home -
his office, and who has shrunk Alrt
as much as natural courtesy wSuId
permit him. from letting himself get
iHNoiNeu III anything that Would az
tract him from his task. This char
actcristic of Mr.. Mellon that in going
twice n week from his ONCE in tho
Treasury to tho cabinet meetings in
tho White House. he avoids the pub
licity of Pennsylvania avenue and
chooses to walk quietly out OF the
treasury basement, cross compar-
ativcly unfrcduented street. enter the
White House alone and pass unosten-
tatiously the entire length OF the White
House to reach tho room where tho
cabinet meetings are held.
In surrounding himself with assist
ants, Mr.. Mellon has made tho i'm
prcssion of trying to get men like
himself. men OF proved ability and Of
transformations personality.
Altogether. those persons in wash
inEton who realize the magnitude and
seriousness OF our financial problems
arc checrcd and filled with confidence
fully as much by Mr.. Melons course
as by Mr. Hughes.

RELIEVE THAT DIAMOND FIELD
 IS FOUND NEAR BLUE BALL

Danville Is in fair way to become a marketing place for genuine dia- monds, with buyers from all parts Of the world on her streets. Up near Blue Ball, just over the line in Scott county, a party of prospectors have dis covered what they claim is a most prom ising diamon dfield, and they are now at work prospecting the field thorough iy.
 The field is located in Section 3 Township 3. Range %. and covers a fairly large area. with all the usual geological indica tions of a diamond field, especially the blue clay pipes, common in South Africa and which are also to be found in the Pike county. Arkansas field This section has been under observation for 10 ngtime. and development was started some years ago, but owing to the war, nothing per manent was don. Very recently company was incorporated in New Mexico, known as the Arkansas Dia mond Mining company, and permit secured from the State of Arkansas to do business in this state.
 This company sent three men (. l.. Higday. F. A Turner and C R.

Lawlessness Condemned.

AT the recent meeting Of the Aneri-
can Bar Association in Cincinnati the
executive committee of the judicial
section carefully considered and ap-
proved the report of Judge Charles A.
Woods, chairman of this section of the
American Bar Association. This re-
port was unanimously adopted BY the
judicial section of the American Bar As
ISOLATION. 1t is a timely warning TO
private citizens and public officials who
are encouraging lawlessness.
The report in part says:
The judicial section of the American
Bar Association, venturing to speak
for all the judges, wishes to express
this warning to the American people
Reverence for law and enforcement OF
law depend mainly upon the ideals and
customs of those who OCCUPY the
vantage ground of life in business and
society. The people of the United
States, by solemn constitutional and
statutory enactment, have undertaken
to suppress the age-long evil Of the
liquor traffic.
When, for the qualification of their
appetites, or the promotion of their in
terests, lawyers, bankers, great mer-
chants, and manufacturers, and social
leaders, both men and women, disobey
ana scott at this law, or any other law,
they are aiding the cause OF anarchy
and promoting mob violence, robbery.
and homicide, they are sowing dragons
teeth, and they need not be surprised
when they find that no judicial or
police authority can save our country
or humanity from reaping the harvest.

II has long been believed that there
IS Civil War cannon in the Potomac
river at or near Shepherdstown. After
the battle of Antietam severn' dis
aoled cannon were left behind the
armies. and one of them was. il is
saIu' renounteo by some young fellows

10 believe that these youths meant to
blow up house or two in Shenherds-
town, and DR.. John Reynolds, who was
then mayor Of the town, and some of
the aged men took charge of the cannon.
1t mysteriously disappeared, and the
popular belief ever since has been that
1t was taken TO the river at night and
sunk. Some ten years ago, when the
water was unusually low and clear.
one of our local fishermen claimed TO
nave seen cannon on the bottom OF
the river. He thought that he had
located the SPOT correctly, but he was
not able to find it afterwards. There

Curing a Sore Throat.

A good story is told in Stageland of
Berlin prima donna who lived in the
time of Frederick the Great. When
ever anything or anybody displeased
her, she had habit of suddenly be-
coming too hoarse to sing. One day
an opera in her repertory was to be
performed, and the king was expect
ed to be present.
At the appointed hour the manager
came forward and announced that, ow-
ing TO sore throat, Mademoiselle
So-and-So was unable to appear. The
people were preparing to leave the
house, but the king rose and COM
manded them to keep their seats. A
few moments afterwards an officer and
four dragons entered the capricous
lady's room.
"Mademoiselle," said the officer, "the
king inquiries after your health"
THE king is very good" she said:
Il nave a sore throat"
His majesty is aware OF the fact
and has charged me to take YOU to the
military hospital to be cured"
Mademoiselle, turning very pale. suc-
gested that they testing, but was told
that Prussian officers never induced
in such thing. Soon she found her
self in coach with four men.

Sneezing.

Snerz ing is reflex act caused bv an
irritation Of some portion OF the larg,
nerve supplying sensation to he face
Excessive sneezing may be the result
Of some rritant, usually of vegetab e
origin. coming in contact with the
mucous membrane lining the nose, or
it NAV &c associated with some general
disorder.
Whooping- cough ard asthma arc
often accompanied by volen fits OF
sneezing. Persons of "gouty" ten
dencv are often afflicted with frequent
sneezing, and the same is true of per-
sons who possess a somewhat hys-
terica' or exceedingly nervous tenn
permanent
A sneeze and cough exert much
the same effect over different portions
Of the respiratory tract. In sneezing
an effort is made to get rid of some
substance irritating the mucous mem
brane of the nose; in coughing the
same thing is attempted for the throat.
Sneezing is in some instances pro-
duced by looking at a strong light or
vivid color. Inflammation may be in
creased, if not actually produced. BY
excessive sneezing, as we'll as by VIC
lent coughing. In this way either Of
these acts may be harmful.
Sneezine is often Indicative of some
catarrhal" condition of the mucous
membrane, and if much INDUCED in,
it tends to make this condition worse
by congestng the mucous membrane
OF the nose and pharynx, and in Sc
we're paroxysms that of the eyes and
ears.
The inhalation of dust or of Irritating
Vapors tends 70 stop up the head"
chiefly because sneezing is thereby
induced
We often hear it said, when one
sneezes, "You are taking cold"-an
expression in which there NAV be some
truth; for chilling of the body drives
the blood away from the surface. and
causes it to flow unduly to any part
OF the body already weakened BY in
Illumination. That point in many cases
is the mucous membrane OF the nose.
Some of the most severe colds, how
ever, are accompanied by no sneezing
! 1t Is not to be wondered at that the
practice of taking snuff" is becoming
obsolete. 1t is no more reasonable to
employ measures to induce sneezne
than it would be to inhale the fumes
OF sulphur, or other irritating vapors
to induce social cough.
Pressure upon the upper Lip or
above the bridge of the nose will usual
ly cut short even severe fit of
sneezing. This failing, mustard plas-
ter applied to the back of the neck, or
the administration of an emetic, will
be found useful.
