plseRAcED HIS NATIVE COUNTY

Representative Appleby of New
Jersey says one of the keenest witted
men in his district is Harold Eli Pick
ersgill, for more than a quarter of a
century judge in the police court at
Perth Amboy. A boyhood friend of
the chief of police was arrested on a
charge of drunkenness and fighting.
Knowing that Judge Pickersgill was
exceedingly proud of his native coun-
ty of Schuylkill, in Pennsylvania, the
chief Matched up a scheme whereby
he hoped to get his old friend off with
a slight reprimand or small fine.
He told the prisoner all about the
judges love for the county in which
he was born and told him to an
nounce, in clear ringing tones, when
the question of his place of birth
was asked by the clerk, that he was
born in Schuylkill county, in the
state Of Pennsylvania
The culprit carried out the pro-
gram to perfection.
whats that?" queried the judge,
glancing up from his desk as he
heard the word "Schuylkill."
Il stated, your honor" smilingly
repeated the prisoner, that / was
born in Schuylkill County. Pennsyl-
vania.'
"Oh, you were, eh?" indignantly
asked the judge. well if that's the
/ case. III just give you six months
for disgracing my native county. Call
the next case"

THE FLAPPERs OF BURMA

Perhaps no women of the East
have been given more publicity
than those of Burma. In his Road to
Mandalay," Kipling really made them
famous.
Here dwell the tribes who have re-
manned as they We're long, long be-
fore the British stook possession
They speak the same language. eat
the same food and wear the same
kind of clothes they have for GEN.
turies.
When a man marries he hands over
all his jewelry and ornaments to his
wife. Indeed, the mans wealth may
be reckoned by the amount of deco
rations his wife wears.
Brass is the metal which is par
ticularly expensive and rare in Burma
and as a result brass is quite the
thing in the line of jewelry there.
The women wear %, kind of kimonc
reaching just below the waist, and a
short skirt about the length of a
bathing suit skirt, but very tight
This, however. is not important in
Burmese fashion. The important
point to the Burma woman is how
much brass she can carry, for the
Burmese women literally weigh
themselves down with brass rings.
Sometimes the burden of the jew
elry is so great that woman needs
a cane on which to lean as she walks
around proudly displaying her wealth
1t is real burden. because the aver
age woman of means in Burma wears
at least so pounds of brass, and many
are envied because they can boast
of 20 or so pounds under which they
totter as they walk.-From the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

One of the murderers, about six feet

crowd OF men, women and children
tried to tear him to pieces.

They will be charged with the mur-

Constable March was shot in the

ADVICE TO THE
 CONST|PATED
HOW TO EAT FOOD IS THE BEST LAXATIVE
No. ?

Most people think that the only reason TOT chewing your food thoroughly is to stimulate the flow of saliva The moro iu,- portant reason is that the moment you be- gin to chew Nature automatically hastens
 the movements of the thousands of little muscles Tn your intestines. Your food must move through twenty-six feet of intestine ana 1t moves four times fast while you are eating as at any other time. There- Tore EAT SLOWLY. It is helpful to drink a glass Of cold water at bed time and upon rising in the morning, or to eat an appls slowly before retiring.
 The important thing Is to have your svs- tenn thoroughly cleansed. One dose of lax atVe will not do this for there may be toxic matter caked in the folds and on the sides of your intestines. The food waste moves regularly through the center and you think you are not constipated while all the time your body is absorbing this poisonous matter. The result of this may be shown In sallow skin. pmples. offensive breath, headaches indigestion and half-sick rum down feelingi and you must give your body a thorough cleansing But do not take lax atives that will give you the laxative habit use a remedy like Lenthol Litate which helps Nature to do its own work by stim- uating the liver and toning up the muscles of the intestines. Follow the instructions which you will find in each package of I.entho Litate; pay a little attention to these simple rules and you will be surprised 10 sec how well and strong you feel aud how much more successful you can be In your social and business life.

AUTHORITY NEEDED
 ID PROVE CHARGES
House Judiciary Asks More Power
 in Daugherty Action

| Washington, Dec. 4.-The house | judiciary committee decided today to
 ask the house for authority to sub-
 poena. witnesses and to obtain papers requested by Represented Keller, re-
 publican, Minnesota in prosecuting his impeachment charges against Attor-
 ney Gen. Daugherty. This action was taken after Representative Keller told the committee today he would not be ready to present evidence in support
 of his demand for impeachment of Attorney Gen. Daugherty until the committee obtained from the house power to summon and swear wit nesses.
 In taking this step the committee acceded to the plea of MT. Keller who had contended he could not proceed unless he got possession of papers from the department of justice and could force the attendance of wit nesses.
 Chairman Volstead announced that the formal hearings would begin Tues day. Dec. 12, and the committee with power to administer paths would grind away as fast as possible.
 Jackson H. Ralston, counsel for MT. Keller, was requested by the chairman to submit list of the documents de- sired. Mr. Keller said that with fa- vorable house action on the commit tee request he would be ready with his case next week.
 In. arguing that the committee should ask for, more authority, MT. Ralston gave the names of Chief Jus tice Taft, former Attorney Gen. George w. Wickershanl. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Guy Oyster, MT. Com per's secretary as witnesses he want sd to appear before the committee. In connection with charges that MT. | had failed to prosecute ,nti-trust cases, MT. Ralston said that Donald R. Richbury, lawyer of Chicago, and a Cleveland lawyer named Stevenson, should be called.
