SWISS NOW EATING
u. S.-MADE CHEESE

WASHINGToN. July s.-The last
three years have witnessed the inva-
sion OF the home of the worlds most
famous cneeses--Switzerla nd--by the
product of American cheese manufac-
turers. and the Swiss cheese has had
TO make room for its foreign rela-
ton. according to Consul Murphy. at
l-ucerne. The CONSUL thinks that.
perhaps this Is temporary. but there
is no doubt that the constant i'm
provement Of American types OF Swissi
cheese has had much 10 do with their
Introduction into Swiss and other new
mark ets.
Swiss cheese is not made exclusive,

various varieties is not obtained by
any process OF manufacturing, but
is attributed TO popularity in the,

From that time we shall have ct least one fthe brighter planets visible until the end of the year. Nep- tune becomes an evening star Febru- ary 3. Uranus becomes a morning star February 2s. Venus Is too close to the sun to be seen. It becomes an evening star February g, but remains close to the sun for several months. Jupiter and Saturn are in the con stellation Virgo and Mars in Libra. At tho end of the month Mars will be just north of Antares, the star whose name means the rival of Mars.
 Jupiter's Satellites
 Those who have small telescopes and who have been interested in ob- serving the motions of the satellites of Jupiter will find them interesting on the mornings of February ' and February 23. On the first date the first and second satellites are eclip- sed at tho same time from 1.56 to 4.21 a, m. eastern standard time. It Is on the morning of February 2S, how ever, that they are most interesting, as many things happen then. First satellite 3 comes between the sun and Jupiter at l0:S2 D. m. eastern stand ard time February 22, SO that we see It's shadow begin to cross tho planet At l2a the shadow of satellite begins to move across the planet for similar reason. The four brighter satellites themselves are still visible. At 13Io a m. satellite enters the i shadow of Jupiter and becomes invis- ible by eclipse. At 13:5s the shadow of satellite 5 completes It's transit. At 1I4 satellite { comes between us and Jupiter and begins its transit across tho disc of Jupiter. It can be seen then with difficulty, If at all. As 1t Is of nearly tho same color and bright ness ss Jupiter itself The shadow of satellite is atill on tho rise. It completes its transit at 2:oS, At 2:lS satellite 3 begins to cross the planet, leaving satellite alone visible. This condition continues until 2iz, when satellite l reappears. Before com pleting its eclipse the satellite passed behind the planet as seen from the earth and was occuited as this Is elites at 2:se a m., February 22. occultation. At SAP the transit of satellite 9 ends and at 4;os the transit again visible. It is not very fre- quently that three satellites are in- visible at the same time.

Claims to Have Become Drug Adiet
 by Reason of Hypo Treatment

Claiming that pr. zachariah B. Chamblee by frequent administration of morphine to him had made "a dope fiend" out of him and that the habit took such a hold on him that he had to spend large sums of money to eff feet . cure. Benjamin o. Newman filed suit in circuit court against the physician yesterday, claiming S5o,0o0 as damages.
 According to the allegations of the complaint tho physician undertook to treat plaintiff from the early part of 1919 until the latter part of 1921. During that time he alleges, the de- fendant administered to plaintiff hy- podermically a certain fluid or con coction containing morphine.
 As a proximate consequence O. such administrations. it is alleged. plaintiffs health and nervous system were greatly impaired and plaintiff was caused to be nervous wreck and to be what Is known as "a dope fiend." making 1t extremely difficult for him to do without the drug.
 He also alleges that he paid de- fendant s3,500 for the administration of the fluid or concoction.
