achieved the remarkable feat of

Much of the credit for this is

statement here in which he denied

elsewhere of national scope, of which
l have the honor to have been made
the head.'
He promised that full details of the
organization, said to be known as

Colonel Simmons received was arrived
at by an actuary, who figured the total

Strangely enough, the one surviving
wonder is the oldest. 1t dates back
almost 1000 years before Christ, and
1t is still in good condition. 1t is the

Kissing Termed Crime
in Puritan NeLD England

Kissing is considered an unhealthful
practice by some people. A few al
ago the physicians of Milwaukee pre-
pared n bill for the absolute suppress
sion of kissing. on the ground that the
practice was hygienically dangerous.
The bill did not become n law, or II
would have made Milwaukee more I'm
nous but somewhat similar laws eE
listed In Puritan New England.
In 1856 Capt. Kemble of Boston was
"set for two hours in the public stocks
for his lewd and unseemly behaviour"
which consisted In kissing his wife
publiquely On the Sabbath day, upon
the doorstep OF his house. when he had
just returned from an absence Of
three years" Twelve years later

Of the material to this purpose is not

Leasowe, between the Mersey and the

the search for a solid base, and the
xyTeck of a cotton ship offered an in

swim naturally, drown as they swim.
This is the case with rabbits, mice,
