Belgium Didn't Think
Much of Bonapartes

A descendant Of the illustrious fam
lily of Bonaparte, Miss Blanche Ster-
leight, is selling motorcars to pros
pects' in New York. Miss Sterleight
Is a daughter of Mrs Jerome Bona
parte. The latter's husband was a
grandson Of Joseph, brother Of the
great Corsican himself Joseph was
Napoleon's right hand in the critical
days of the consulate. He it was who
rushed the grenadiers to the chamber
of deputies during the revolution when
his brother was answering charges of
extravaganza in his campaign in
Egypt and Italy. Later Joseph was
awarded the throne of Spain. An old
Flemish rhyme has it that Napoleon
was "a butcher of men," Louis (king
of Holland) always broke his prom
ises,' Jerome (king of Westphnlia)
dealt in har1' and Joseph was the
"tyrant of SPAIN"

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

Health-physical freedom and full
vigor--ends at age 81. for the average
person. Maximum usefulness ends at
40. These facts, shown by the United
States Life Tables, 1920, form the
most appalling problem every human
being has to facet
What are the ears after 40 going
to mean to you9 Will they be worth

those years9

vidual." What sort of person is 1the
average individual in America9 He
works hard. He eats unwisely. He
loads his body with drug stimulants,
which appear to giee energy, but ac-
tually 6oqTow this energy from his
own reserve.

reserve strength which his body sought
to store up against these later years,
has bit by bit been robbed. Age 40

Remember the simple laws Of health
which everyone learned in school.
Avoid stimulants. Avoid the sleepless
hours, upset digestion, warning head
aches, taut nerves and muddy COM
plexions which so often accompany the
use Of the drug caffein.
Caffein is classified as a poison.
Like strychnin, it is sometimes given
by doctors in cases of heart failure.
The average cup Of coffee contains the
usual dose of caffein administered in
such cases. The alarming foolishness of
taking this poison regularly into the
system is borne out by the frightful
limitation of health and usefulness as
compared with the length Of life.

OId Vehicles in FAVOR

Yucatan clings to antiquated means
of transportation, which include the
carreta, the coche, the volan and the
voIante, although the Introduction of
automobiles bids fair to eliminate
these vehicles, says the Detroit News.
The carreta is a heavy two-wheeled
truck; the coche, a light four-wheeled,
rubber-tired, rigid-topped carriage,
with body supported on heavy leather
straps, for travel on the rocky coun-
try roads, similar to the stage coach
of Americas old West, and the volante,
very heavy four-wheeled vehicle,
somewhat like a victoria, but with the
body supported on heavy leather
straps used for rough travel in the
rural districts.

Big Traffic in Cocaine

Cocaine is derived from coca, and
is produced chiefly in the Andean
sections of Peru, Chile, Bolivia and
the Argentine Republic. The province
Of Yunga Bolivia, is the chief pro-
Quoting territory, the output aggregat-
ing more than $2OOOOO,OOO annually.
The production is constantly increas-
ing, and 1t Is believed that the total
crop of the South American countries
for the past year exceeds 1915, 100000
Among it's addicts it is better known
as Snow" and some authorities hold
it to be the curse of the Occident.

week to testify before the senate
committee that has been investigating
him. so Chairman Brookhart-who has
just been renominated by the Repub-

port, and the future course of the in
quiry will depend on the Supreme court
decision as to the committees powers.
In letter read by his attorney, Mr..
Daugherty expressed his resentment
against what he considered the unfair
actions of the committee, and added:
"At this point take occasion to con-
tradict and deny any inference, sur
mise or suspicion that profited in any
illegal, corrupt or unethical way, di-
rectly or indirectly, by reason OF any
activities of political associates or
friends at any time; or that my con-
duct, either official or personal, was
