A StickIer for the Truth

have a friend who practices law
in the Florida courts and deals in
citrus fruit on the side. One day
he was on his way In car from his
groves to his home in Miami. On
the road he overlook lank native
who seemingly was in high state of
indignation, muttering to himself as
he trudged along and clenching and
unclenching his freckled fists.
The lawyer stopped and offered to
give him a lift.
II amt goin' so very fur" said the
stranger as he climbed into the
car, "but l can't git to whar I'm goin'
a minute too soon. There's a Teller
livin' down the road here piece by
the name of Ed Watts, an jest this
mornin' the word come to me that

settle it with him. When we git thar
you stop while go in, an then you
better jest watch to see whit I'm
goin' to do to him."
Presently they came to cabin set
among straggly fruit trees. A very
large very strong looking man sat on
doorstep busily engaged in doing
nothing at ALL

aggrieved person. "Thar's that thar
Watts yonder. Now, mister, jest you
keep your eye on me-"
From the car my friend watched
while his late passenger dismounted
and marched toward the front door
of the cabin. At his approach the
larger man uncoiled himself to a
height of considerably more than six
feet, at the same time moistening the
palms of his two brawny hands after
the approved fashion.
The two men exchanged a few
words; then, with the air of having
satisfactorily accomplished a difficult
but necessary piece of business, the
Invade turned about and returned to
where the car stood in the road.
WALL" he said, That's all settled"
what happened?" inquired my
friend.
Il axed him eff he'd said what them
fellers told me he'd done said, and
he come out like man an owned up

This Is the ritual as Frazer gives it
and he considers the murdered" OK an
embodiment of the corn-spirit. 1t is
easy TO see that the execution" of the
ak and knife instead of one of the
slayers of the OK is change introduced
into the ritual when human sacrifice
was replaced by substitution. The
whole history of mythology is filed
with parallel cases. Now when
q COW breaks into the garden and
eats the crops it is the OK eating the
crops represented by the grain on
the altar of Zeus on the Acropolis.
The COW is not killed, it is true, but it
is driven out and not before it has
elected itself the animal fit for murder
ing. Then, with weary wings family
fluttering down the dim ages, comes
the tradition of what used to happen
after the murder Of the OK" upon the
Acropolis-a victim must be furnished
in expiation-a death must follow. And
so you have your popular superstition

DIABETES

TN THIS disease the common opin-
i ion prevails that it's chief symptom
is sugar in the urine, this latter being
enormously increased in quantity. But
there is a variety in which, though the
quantity of urine is large, there is no
sugar.
This variety often occurs after
middle age, but it is not infrequent
in children, and it may occur in a
family, generation after generation.
In such families there is usually a
highly developed nervous system with
tendency to excitability, hysteria,
brain tumor, and other nervous dis
orders.
1t may follow injuries to the head
and may be preceded by the form of
diabetes in which there is sugar in
the urine.
1t may also be produced by excess
sive use of alcohol, worry, emotion,
and infectious diseases of different
kinds.
Thirst is intense, and the great
volume Of urine passed is as colorless
as rain water.
1t is also marked by constipation.
Indigestion. dry skin, excessive flow
of saliva, headache, slow pulse, dizzi-
ness, vomiting, and loss in weight.
In the second variety the urine is
abundant, has a sweetish odor and is
somewhat sticky in feeling.
It's specific gravity is high and its
content of sugar large.

The COLLINS, too, have much to do

Of course, causes trouble sometimes

story of Yeson Dan that l started to

ground one year to see If things were
looking as they should.
The gnome's doorways are the dark
rocks, smaller than those Of the COB
Inns and hidden among the leaves.
Sometimes they are quite out OF sight,
of the eyes Of mortal at least, be-
cause the gnomes so seldom use them.
Yeson Dan had never been above
ground before, and when this night
he opened the rocky door he stood
blinking for a minute at the sight that
met his small bright eyes.
COLLINS were dancing and capering
about and the moonlight made the
trees and bushes shine in their fresh
green gowns.

Hair-Curline Devices

Six hundred patents for new devices
to meet the age-old desire of women
for curly hair have been issued by
the United States patent office, says
Popular Science Monthly. These de-
vices include methods Of waving hair
by means Of not air and steam, and
by permanent waving machines. The
first American patent for curling hair
was issued in 1857 to man named
Lewis, who perfected an iron heated
by plunging it in hot water.

Brass work, with which the front
doors Of most British homes have been
adorned for centuries and which CON
tributes to the furnishings of numer-
Gus offices, is going out of fashion be-

in England are going up without brass

AIRMEN TO PATROL
i. S. FOREST AREAS
S5O, viii Be Available for
Launching Plans to Cut
3 Waste From Fires.

Under the provisions of the Agricul-
tural appropriation bill the Depart
nent of Agriculture is drawing up ar
engagements for the establishment of
an airplane forestry patrol in the
West, for which@S50 900 will be avail
able after July /.
The Army Air Service has agreed to
furnish the planes and provide main
tenance in the way of overhauls, and
the department will supply the pilots
from the reserve. A new departure in
the old method of patrolling the for
ests in search of fires will be taken
this year. Five bases will be estab-
lished-two in California, one in Ore
gon, one in Washington and one in
Idaho. The planes will not. as in the
past, make daily flights over the for
ests in search of fires, because it has
been found, it was explained at the
department today, that lookouts can
detect smoke quicker.
The real value of the planes will be
brought into use when areas are COW
cred with smoke, making 1t impossible
for the lookouts to determine what is
going on close to the earth, and when
fires are beyond control the planes,
again, will be able to report in few
minutes the extent of the cont1agra-
ton. Following electrical storms, spe-
cial patrols will go out in search OF
fires started by lightning and which
are difficult for the lookouts to locate.
