For Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
THE CAUTIOUS MAID


Said Percival Potter to Muriel Wright
Lets go to a night club and step
tonight,
They've got a great band and they've
got some swell gin
And there won't be no trobule in
gettin us in
For a guy that I know they have got
on the door
Will give us a table right out on
the floor"
But glance of disdain was in Muriel's
eye
And this was her prudent reply:
"I'm scared to death to think about
them padlOcIxs,
For the sake of a little bum gin,
L will take no chance ON PaIIy de
dance
Where the cOppers might lock me
My folks is respectable people
And L gotta be home by three,
Though love to step, 1 will keep my
AM they amt gOin' to paddock me-"
''There are plenty of Places said
Muriel Wright,
Where the music is grand and the
lights are bright
Where they play them tunes that is
all the go,
That is on the air off 'the radio;
If you ask me there I will go along,
For there amt no chance that I'll set
in wrong
But I will not drink synthetic stiff
For I never do nothing rough"
''I'm scared to death to think abomt
them padlOckS,
The papers has put me wise
To the raidin' done between twelve
By them government strong arm
guys.
/ gotta good job at the office
And Pm gOin' to hang ON to it,

Though L love to step, Will keep my
AM they amt gOin' to paddock me-"

An Island on the Move.

In Lake Erie, just offshore from the
port of Erie, Pa. there is a large
| sandy hook known as Presque Isle
whose presence gives the town of Erie
| the advantages of a harbor. On old
| maps this island is shown to have
been nearly a mile west of it's present
position, and at present it can be OBJ
served that the island is on the move
being constantly washed away on the
west by an eastward shore current,
and added to the east.
Apparently Presque Isle began its
Journey somewhere at the west end OF
Lake Erie, several thousand years
ago, perhaps, as a sand spit. Slowly
but surely 1t is travelling east, and
perhaps in another thousand years
all the monev spent on it by the town
| of Erie as a park and breakwater will
be handed to Buffalo as an unintended
present.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE

In other words, the appeals are plausi-
bic but not very convincing.
Along came DR. Edward A. Boyden
of Harvard Medical School and OBJ
served that the gall bladder of cats
could be made to empty by feeding
the cats mixture of egg yOlks and
cream. This was kinda suggestive.
So DIR. Lester II. Whitaker Of Boston
studied the action of the gall bladder
by means of the X.ray, and found
that the gall bladder empties its con-
tents into the duodenum Just az
promptly and aS thoroughly after the
eating Of food, particularly fatty food
as it does when the patient is sub
jected to the discomfort Of the duo.

the evidence reflects doubt on the
value of non-surgicai drainage of the
gall bladder by magnesium sulphate
Epson salt) solution injections.
Then Prof. A. J. Carlson of Chicago
no doctor at all but a whale OF a
psychologist. jumped in, swinging
lusty shillalah, and knocked all the
fine arguments to smithereens. Viewed
from the psychologists position-and
this is a question of physiology. and
Carlson is certainly top hole on the
physiology Of digestion-the non-sur.
gical drainage procedure lacks proper
support.
So there you are. as 1t were.

Taking the Gall Out.

About eight years ago DIR. Bethuel
y. V. Lyon of Philadelphia introduced
a new technical procedure whereby
bile could be drawn directly from the
gall bladder for examination, and this
| non-surgical drainage of the gall blad-
der, as he called it, has proved of con
siderable value in the diagnosis Of gall
bladder affections. Briefly the proce-
dure involved the application of the
duodenal tube, IL modern refinement
on the famous old stomach pump, and
the injection into the duodenum of a
solution of EPSON salt. which has the
effect Of stimulating the gall bladder
to empty itself into the duOdenum.
whence the bile was drawn out
through the duodenal tube.
Not long after this procedure was
adopted by physicians generally, some
Of them noticed that patients seemed
to derive some benefit from this oc-
casional extraction of the gall, and
this led to more careful trials of the
method as a remedial measure, and
some of the physicians who tried it
out concluded that it was of distinct
value, while others were unable to see
that it had any actual remedial value
they were inclined to ascribe i'm
provement in the condition of the
patient to the rest in bed, dieting and
other measures employed at the time
the gall bladder drainage was carried
out.
Physicians who looked upon the
procedure as a real aid in the treat
ment of gall tract and associated con-
ditions argued that the removal of
the bile in this way prevented the re-
absorption of bacteria or their poi
sons into the blood through the wall
of the diseased gall tract, as we'll as
the reabsorption Of these poisons from
the bile in the intestine, If the bile
were left to it's natural course. They
argued that this nonsurgical drain
age diminished the amount of focal
infection from the infected gall blad-
der or gall duct as the focus, source
or depot, through the rich network of
Emphatic channels in that region.
All fine and dandy so far. But l.
was about time for some one to come
along and tip over DR.. Lyons apple
cart.
There was always something about
these arguments Of adherents of the
Lyon procedure that reminded one of
the arguments put forward by Ger
man pharmacologists in behalf o.
their endless stream of new medicines

The Antelope in Favor.

This year antelope skin is in fashion
in many forms. 1t is u really new
skin, because only the Beers in South
Africa had ever used it previously.
Most of the antelope skins which
We wear or use come all the way from
Africa, because antelopes are found
only in Africa and Asia at present.
There are about one hundred varieties
of antelope, so you can well imagine
the confusion of any one who tries to
determine just what is or isn't ante
lope skin. To make it more ConfuS-
ing, these skins vary widely in color.
The antelope's skin has certain dis
tinct virtues Tor wearing and manu-
facture. 1t is soft, pliable, easily
dyed, and makes a very comforting
skin to wear. The ease with which it
is dyed helps to make it fashionable
because it can be matched with the
seasons colors.
The fur of the antelope is rather
close. and it has short hair. 1t has
n smooth finish, and even glistenS.
The natural colcrs of the various an
telopeS are usually lively, because
they match the colors of the bright
plains and jungles Of Africa. The
antelope is a peaceful animal and he
depends upon his speed to carry him
from harm. Usually the natural col
OfS OL the antelope are DIOWu, III
many shades, or brownish yellow.
This protective coloration' enables
him to blend indistinctly with the
landscape and thus affords him pro.
lection from his natural enemies.
There is a real reason for the sud-
den favor of antelope skin. Furs are
becoming scarcer each year, as we In.
crease in our use of them. Fur farm
are being started to supply the fur
market with enough pelts for your
needs. Antelope skin is new to the
market, and it relieves the strain on
more popular pelts.
A few skins similar to the antelope's
might easily be sold as antelope skin
to the unknowing buyer. These are
chamois and the sturdy old Rocky
Mountain goat. AS a matter of fact,
there has never been an antelope IN
America in civilized times, though
there have been animals similar in ap-
pearance.
Antelope skin is being used for
coats, purses, wallets and even shoes.
1t is still a fairly inexpensive skin
and one which has won patrons on its
own merits. In purses, wallets, shoes,
etc, it may be distinguished by it's
beautiful grain, and soft, smooth fin
ish. The hunt for the antelope is on,
and youll soon be wearing the spoils
of the chase

COUNT ADLERBERG, HOTEL MAN,
IS ARRESTED UNDER ALIEN LAW
Russian Exile, Later Released on $4,000
Bond, Says Deportation Would Mean
Execution by Bolshevists

Count Basil Adlerberg. now a clerk

days a figure in the court OF Nicholas,
Gar Of the RusSias, was arrested yes
terday on a charge of violating immi-

warrant, for it was his father who put

that the anarchists striving for the

The Alderberg name is on the
prescribed list in Russia. 1t was
an Adlerberg-Count Vladimlr-who
was aide to Gen. kuropatkin in the
siege Of Port Arthur in the Russian
Japanese war; it was an AdlerberS
Count Alexander. father of the
central figure in the local drama and
brother of Count Nladimir--who was
the governor general of the st.
Petersburg district from 1908 until
1917, and who had formerly sup
pressed the nihilists.
The hatred of the name by the
ruling forces in Russia today is
shown, according to the present
count. by the fact that his father
and his two brothers were murdered.
as well as by the fact that he is
alive today only because of a coinci-
dence which reads life fiction.
