The Hat Trick!

A funny incident occurred at the
house of commons when l was there
the other day, says writer in London
Tit-Bits. A tin of liquid eggs, the prop

had brought il TO the house to demon
strate his arguments Oh the subject of

The occurrence, which caused much
laughter. reminded me that once Tree,

Telegraph Terrified Many

When Prof. Samuel T. B. Morse, in
ventor of the practical telegraph In
strument and code, first put them into
practice in 1915 many intelligent citi-
zens were actually terrified. Some of
the more skeptical spoke of him rs
being in league with the devil The
first message sent over the line that
had been constructed for the practical
tryout was "What hath God
wroughtm Morse was a painter, and
not an electrician, but he combined
the principles and devices that cleo
trical scientists had produced up TO
that time and in that way won credit
for the idea. Tie met with great OPP
position in getting the idea accepted.

HoIbien Master of Detail

Holbien, the portrait painter at.
tachcd to the court of King Henry
VIII, during a part of that monarch's
matrimonially meteoric reign, was a
master Of the art of detail In por-
traiture His portrait of Lady Jane
Seymour. who succeeded Anne Boleyn
as queen of England, is one Of the
most important of historical portraits,
not only because Of the fine character
of the work as whole, but because
of the delicacy with which the artist
wrought the brocade pattern In her
dress and reproduced the exquisite
delicacy of the fragile lace on her
sleeves.

praotors who can qualify as techni-
clans. To quality one must take
special course in Neurocalometer
Technique, and then demonstrate
ones ability to give readings and
properly adjust.
A travelling school is maintained
by The Palmer School of Chiroprac-
tic, Davenport, Iowa, of technicians
who know how to aid and instruct all
iessees. These travelling technicians
visit all lessees once every six or
seven months and check up on the
chiropractors who have leased the
Neurocalometer. No chiropractor
who has a Neurocalometer need
ever be in doubt as to what method
to persue in handling every case that
comes to his office. If he should ever
be in doubt he can call upon the
Palmer School, or he may avail him
self of the services of the travelling
technician.
Haddow & Haddow were elated at
the receipt of the news Of the is
suance of the patent protecting the
instrument and all users of the in
atrumet. Other patents are pending
and are expected to be announced
within few weeks. As many of our
readers know, The Palmer School Of
Chiropractic is the owner and OPP
orator of the famous Radio Station
woo. Programs are often picked up
in this vicinity by radio fans from
this station, now known as the
Home of the Neurocalometer."

Never "Out" Is Man
Who Keeps His Head

Take it from We pastor: Some great
things may have been accomplished by
excitement or desperation, or wild i'm
pulse, but you needn't be particularly
wise or observing to know that most is
accomplished by the man who retains
his mental poise; Keeps his head" !
once saw weak swimmer become ex-
hausted while beyond his depths, and
saw a strong swimmer so readily to his
rescue. The drowning man forgot what
he knew, that 1t is easy to carry an
other in water, If the one carried sub
mits willingly ana intelIigently. There
fore struggle followed when the two
met In which double tragedy was
averted only by the fact that the
strong swimmer kept his head, fought
better and knocked out his opponent
after which he carried him TO shore
Had both been cool, it would have been
easy aud had both become excited, Ii
would have been impossible. And the
rule applies as well to the other than
physical trouble. The fate which seems
to have you down and out can be
thwarted if you keep your head" If
you do the best you know, instead of
merely wasting time in useless worry
and anger. And this trait or habit will
stand cultivation which will bring IL
within the range of possibilities even
loT impuisiye, nervous or weakened
ersons.-Arkansa Thomas Cat.

Word was received thic week by
Haddow & Haddow Of this city that
the long wait for the issuance OF a
patent on the instrument known as
the Neurodalometcr, and leased by
the Doctors, has been issued by the
Patent Office at Washington.
This is good news for lessees Of
this instrument, because Of the wide
spread fight they have put up for the
past twenty months to protect their
first announced as an invaluable aid
to chiropraetors in their work of eX-
aiming patients, Haddow & Had
dow Immediately purchased a lease
emitting them to use this instru-
ment in their office.
Great Aid to Chiropractors
The Neurocalometer is heat reg
istering instrument that detects
pressure interferences on the nerves
emitting from the spinal column.
With this instrument trained tech
nician knows where pressures exist
and as a reult all guesswork is done
away with. The patient can be ID
justed in the exact place where the
pressure is located. Some remark
able cases are recorded Of relief from
very stubborn diseases by the Pal
mer School. Locally, Haddow &
Haddow have been most successful
in their handling of many stubborn
cases.

Bad Temper Harmful

Bad temper. an eminent pathologist
has discovered, has the strange effect
of increasing the amount of sugar in
the blood by 10 per cent to 30 per
cent in the course Of a few minutes.
That is why an angry man wants to
fight the object of his rage. He be-
comes hot-blooded because the acces-
sion of carbonaceous material intoxi-
Gates his muscular system. The strange
thing is that this rapid change is due
to a tiny gland about the size Of a
pin. When it functions normally a
person remains calm and even-tem-
pered. II the essence exudes too Law
ishly, hatred, passion. and quarrels
ensue.

The Cow-Tree

In Colombia there is tree known
as the cow-uee, 1t is treated much
as we treat a cow, or, this vegetable
cow is bled rather, its veins are cut,
that is TO say, the bark of the tree is
incised Immediately the laciferous
vessels thus bisected yield an abun-
iant flow of white liquid which as
regards it's appearance, taste and nour-
ishing properties hardly differs from
ordinary milk. Eyaporated by gentle
heat. this vegetable milk yields de
llghtful sort of marzpan with a slight
aromatic odor.-From the Wonder
Book OF Plant Life. by Jean Henri

Origin of Dollar

The name "dollar" originally came
from "thaler," coin which originated
in Bohemia in 1919 and was widely
used In central Europe for many years
afterwards. But the coin itself was
taken from the Spanish "peso" which
was the common unit of exchange in
the West Indian trade in colonial days.
II was called the Spanish dollar. In
1892 the coinage act Of the United
States gave legal recognition to what
was already an established institution.
Later the silver content was slightly
changed.

SALE OF LAND FOR
 CITY MISSION FUND
Broad Street Property to Be
 Converted Into Cash

Seeking permission 10 sell plot of land on Broad street owned by Elihu Burrltt and to apply the pro- ceeds 10 the support Of the BuNitt Mission on Cherry street Edward J. Skinner, trustee of the Burrtt es- tate, has sued the heils representa- tiyes and creditors Of the famous peace advocate. Mir, skinner Is rep resented by Attorney Donald Ganney and the suit Is returnab}e in the su- perior court, Hartford, the first Tuesday in Scptemuer,
 IL was stated today that the suit Is merely d matter of form in order to allow dispose of the property Elihu Burritt died in 1S79 and his estate has long since been settled, except for this piece Of property about one rod square, which IS To- cated in the north side Of Broad street on Burrtt Hill. CT more fami- liarly the 'Nigger Hill' section of the city.
 The will Of MT. Burritt provided for the esta ablishment Of two mis- sions in this city for the perpetua- ton Of religious work. One of these missions Is located on Cherry street and one used 10 be located on the plot of land now in question. For many years an old barn stood on the property and in that barn the residents of that setcion gathered for services. Sunday school was held there and the community gath cred there for hymn singing. The barn was destroyed by wind years ago.
 Since that time the chsra cter of the neighborhood has changed ma terially. It is thickly populated and there Is q church within short dis lance Of the plot. Furthermore, there are no funds with which to carry out mission work, as stipulated by MT. Burritt. However, taxes on the property are coming In regular ly and 1t Is said that the land is an expense.
 Therefore, Mir. Skinner, as trustee of the estate, Is asking for permis- aon to sell the property. since 1t will be possible to carry out the terms of the will.
 Whatever proceeds there may be from the sale of the property, If 1t be sold, will be turned over to the Burritt Mission on Cherry street for the support of that institution. The City Mission band now supports the mission.
