Court Holds Ritz
Conviction Legal
and Ritz of Richey VIII Have to
Pay His 100000 Fine.

The supreme court has affirmed
the judgment of the district court
of Dawson county in the case of the
state against August Ritz, convicted
of the manufacture oS moonshine
liquor The decision of the court was
handed down yesterday and the opin-
ion is written by Commissioner Ben
nett
Ritz had previously been convicted
on this charge, had appealed, and the
case was sent back for second trial
which resulted in his being again con-
victed The higher court finds no
error in the rulings of the lower court
at the second trial. Nothing new was
brought to light of any consequence
the court holds and, taking up each
OF the four instructions specified by
the defendant as being error the high
court holds that each was proper.
While the lower court restricted
the cross examination of the main
witness for the state to some ex-
tent, the supreme court says that
in its opinion the defendants rights
were not violated and the answering
Of the questions precluded would not
have thrown sufficient additional
light upon the situation to bring about
a different verdict by the jury.

OWES SPEECH TO WIRELESS
Young English Woman, Dumb From
Birth, Said to Have Become Nor
NAL After Treatment.

A young woman, deaf and dumb
from birth, the first patient to undergo
treatment by new wireless inven-
tion, articulated several words In the
presence of a crowded audience at the
Royal Medical college, Epson, Eng
land.
Wireless, having brought hearing to
the deaf, Is now bringing speech to
the dumb.
This latest wonder Is made possible
by the invention of Mr.. ]. w. Theo-
bald, Sunbury garage owner, and a
medical friend, DIR. Frank Thompson.
The dumb patient puts on ear receiv-
ers, and receives lesson in phonet-
les with the sounds magnified till they
are deafening to normal ears.
DIR. Thompson prophesies that his
first patient will soon be able to con-
verse freely. A curious unexpected
result has been that her deafness is
also tending to disappear.

Molten Lava weIds Volcanoes.

George Gilman read paper before
the Geographical society descriptive
of an ascent a year ago Of Kilimanjaro,
which he alluded to as Africa's high
est mountain. The party which he
led were the first to ascend after the
mountain had become British terri
tory. From wherever across the sur
rounding steppes one approached the
Isolated mountain mass two outstand-
ing features impressed themselves at
once-the tremendous size. coupled
with great height and the almost in
credible contrast between the tropical
half desert below and the alpine des-
ert above. Structurally. Kilimanjaro
consisted Of three single strato-volca-
noes, each Of which had had its own
origin and history. Through mutual
interbedding of the laval flows, how
ever, all three had grown into one
solid complex strato-volcano.

PLANT TREE IN RIGHT PLACE
Much Of Natural Beauty May Be Lost
u Proper Spot Has Not
Been Selected.

It is beautiful thing to plant q
tree, but 1t is doubly beautiful to plant
the right tree In the right place.
The deed loses half Of its beauty
when tree Is placed where it does not
belong, and where 1t will be impossible
for it to add to the joy and comfort
Of those who may be near 1t in future
years. A tree placed in location
where it will be In the way, and where
1t cannot develop in accordance with
its natural tendencies, is doomed to
be failure. The same Is likely to be
true of the tree that Is planted with
out thought as to the variety that is
best suited to the situation. 1t Is the
tree planting that involves thought
and judgment that is the real blessing
to humanity.
The beautiful thing in the planting
of the tree is the attitude of mind of
the one who does 1t. Those who are
to receive the benefits from the act
appear long after the work is done;
those who do the work are seldom d.
rectly rewarded for the labor. When
a person plants tree, he Is contrib
uting to the pleasure Of generations to
come, and If he plants the right tree
In the right place he bestows bless
ing upon others in the most unselfish
manner. II, on the other hand, the
wrong tree is planted, the future gen.
erations cannot reap the full benefit
of the work done years before by the
well-meaning Q but uniformed tree
planter, and the deed as measured by
results becomes less beautiful.-1lli-

A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS.

The uniform success that has at
tended the use of Chamberlain
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy in the
relief and cure of complaints, both
for children and adults, has brought
1t into almost universal use, SO that
it is practically without a rival and
as everyone who has used it knows,
it is without an equal.

THE IDEAL PURGATIvE

AS purgative, Chamberlain s
Tablets are the exact thing required.
Strong enough for the most robust,
mild enough for children. They
cause an agreeable movement of the
bowels without any of that terrible
gripping. They are easy and pleasant
to take and agreeable in effect.
