LIGHTNING NEARLY STRIKES
MISS UFA TURNER

In one of the heavy thunder show
ers OF last week little Miss Ufa Turn
er was near plum tree in the back
yard, which was split by stroke of
lightning and caused here to be stun
ned so that she fell to the ground right
in the view of her mother and she re-
manned unconscious during the time
she was carried into the house by her
terribly frightened mother and sister.
No i'll effects resulted from the
shock other than extreme nervousness

SO honest he went and confessed his

Another instance OF what might be
questioned as humane sentiment was
taking a man from the death house
at Sing Sing and performing a surg
zeal operation to save his lite in order
that he may meet death by electrocu-
ton. The excusable part OF this pre-
ceeding is demonstrated by the fact
that under the influence of ether the
man cried over and over again Il
never killed anybody."It appears to
be a scientific tact that under the in
t!ucnce of ether one cannot voIun-

the truth and ii so he will probably get
a pardon or another chance for his
life. ~

revenue act of 1921 are 81 1000 for sin
gle persons (the term including wild
ows. widowers. divorces, and persons
separated from husband and wife by
mutual agreement, $500 for mar
ried persons whose net income was
$1,000 or less, and $4,000 for married
persons whose net income was $4,000
or more. Under the revenue act of
1918 the personal exemption allowed
a married person was $4,000, regard
less of the amount of net income. The
personal exemption allowed married

alton of food that demands more buy
ing wisdom than Baking Powder.

and economy of the bakings them
selves.

 Getting up m the night to quiet am uneasy buby Is mol the joke that some comic writers represent tt to be. A young husband discovered this in case of his tirst-born and the means he took to overcome the difficulty won him a prize in a contest in new uses for electricity.
 The only means of quleting this baby. who was aiIlng. was to move him up and down. gently. In the low CT part of the crib the father fastened the motor of a discarded electric fan From small pulley on the motor he ran a belt to larger pulley on a short shaft, at the other end Of which he rIgged a crank. Then he extended a connecting rod to the center of the frame that supported the springs and mattress.
 The motor when started, moved springs. mattress and baby up and down about an inch, smoothly, gently and regularly. Ii proved entirely sat. lgfactory to the baby, who Is now one year old, healthy and happy, and he has never got hls parents out of bed at night since the apparatus was Installed.
