HAD HIGHEST SOCIAL IDEAS
Marriage Relations Among Early A.
syrians Subjected to the Strictest
Code of Human Laws.

Marriage relations among the early
Assyrians were subject to a strict code
Of laws, 1t 10 now learned from a val
liable cultural document made ac-
cessible to the scientific world in d
German translation Of the cuneiform
text preserved In the Asiatic division
OF the Berlin Photographed museum.
The early Assyrian lawmakers had
this code inscribed on q set Of clay
tablets, unearthed during the excava-
lions Of the German Asiatic society in
Aesopotamia. By comparing this find
with other prehistoric documents, the
date of these tablets has been estab-
lished around 100 B. G., which would
coincide with the reign Of Tglat-Pfle-
sar L
The rights and duties Of married
women and the punishments imposed
for the infringements of these laws,
and as the marital relations Of q ma.
ton have always been regarded as a
reliable barometer Of its culture. this
discovery throws an interesting light
upon early Assyrian social conditions

HALF A CENTURY
Oklahoman Praises BIack-Draught,
Having Used 1t ''Can Safely
Say for so Years"

Grandfie1d, Okla-One Of the best
known farmers of Tilman County, Mr..
@. w. Tisdale, who owns and manages
q wagon yard here, says:
81 have used Thedford's Black
Draught-I believe / can safely say for
fifty years.
81 was born and reared in Texas,
Freestone County, siXty-four years ago.
I have been married forty-four years.
My father used Black DTaught before !
was married, and gave it to us e. .
For forty-four years Of my married
life, it has had a place on our medi-
cine shelf. and is the only laxative. or
liver medicine, we use. We use 1t
for torpid liver, sour stomach. head
ache, indigestion Z. | don't think we
could get along without 1t, knowing
what 1t has done for us, and the money
it has saved. 1t is just as good and re-
liable today as 1t was when we began
its use. My boys use it and they are
satisfied it's the best liver medicine
they have ever used"
Thedford's Black Draught Is purely
vegetable, not disagreeable to take
and acts In prompt and natural way.
SO many thousands of persons have
been benefited by the Sc Of Thedford's
Black-Draught, you should have no
hesitancy in trying this valuable old
well-established remedy, for most liver

SENT DIRECT FROM JUPITER
Ancient Peoples Had Odd Belief Con
corning Otherwise Unaccount-
able Shower of Frogs.

Showers of frogs must have been
common enough in ancient Greece,
seeing that Aristotle gives them a par
ticular name. Abiding to the pre-
vailing idea of his time, which sup
posed them to come from Heaven, he
called them messengers Of Jupiter.
Two carefully observed instances In
modern times have especially wrought
conviction among the learned.
The first was attested by whole
company of soldiers, who during the
French Revolution, were on a march
open country they were assailed by
a shower of little toads which were
dashed in their faces, falling with
torrents of water. Astonished at such
an unwonted attack, and DESTROYS of
satisfying themselves as to whether
this living shower came from above,
the soldiers spread out their handker-
chiefs on a level with their heads,
and found they were soon covered.
After the storm, the establishment
was general when the soldiers saw
this unexpected brood leaping about In
the folds of their cooked hats
The second well-attested shower of
toads fell In 1884, n the town of Ham,
In Germany, when the streets, roofs
and cutters were Immediately filled
with a great number Of these young
creatures.

PITTSBURGH, July 1S.-An increase

preparations are being made for an
active autumn in the belief that the
labor situation has reached a point
where the solving of disturbing prob
lens will be forced. This trend is
evident from the purchases of whole

expressed by heads of industries.

ST PAUL July 1S.-The marketing
of the excellent crops Of the north
west and the distribution OF the win
ter's coal supply will be seriously
hampered by the shortage OF rail
equipment certain to result from the
shopmen'S strike. according to rail-
road executives here. Seventeen days
of urgently needed repair work has
been lost and this cannot be made up
in time to prepare adequately for the
fall rush even if the strike ended
today. Twin Cities business men de-
clared in some instances today that
they were genuinely alarmed over the
situation. as they feared the rapid re-
coyery of business. which had been
well under way, had been retarded.
The harvesting Of rice and wheat
has begun in Minnesota and northern
Iowa with prospects of an excellent
WELD Crop reports from numerous
sources all forecast satisfactory pro-
duction of grain, corn. forage and
potatoes throughout the northwest.
Increased trade in the Twin Cities Is
indicated by the purchases of postal
money orders throughout this section.
This is taken to show that the farmers
are buying. There also has been de-
cided Increase In the parcels post busi-
ness through the ST. Paul and Minneap-
