One Of the most remarkable and
little known marine animals Of the
world Is the narwhal. a species of Ave
tic whale that makes its home in the
Polar seas. says the Popular Mocha mics

by the abnormal development Of it's
left front tooth. which sometimes at
tains a length of eight feet or more.
II tapers slightly to pointed hollow
tusk, the surface Of which Is marked
by spiral grooves and ridges. Occa-
sionaily both teeth develop in this
manner. The narwhals congregate In
schools. feed on small fish and crusta-
ceans and forms a picturesque sight
when plowing through the water, their
long. glistening horns rising in uni
son as they come to the surface ito
blow" The exact purpose OF the
tusk is not known, but is believed to
be for defense or for breaking through
ice.

NO EVIDENCE OF A TIDE

The process of extracting data from
the results of today's elections in the
several States. of deducing from
these varied conclusions may be ex-
pected to go merrily on for at least
several weeks. It Is not clear how
ever, how 1t may be possible to dis
cover among the results any definite
policy tending to unity the Demo-
Gratis for a national election.
The liquor question Is kicking
around but is not regarded as
seriously affecting more than Ave or
six senatorial contests. The drys
insist that the 10th Congress will be
even drier than the 69th; that in the
House there will be at least 300 rep
resenting the drys to los for the
vets and this In the face Of the de-
termined fight put up by the vets
and the tremendous effort they have
expended.
Many people doubtless will eventu-
ally wake up to the fact that these
State efforts to submit some form
of question affecting the Volstead
law will nowise relieve the drouth,
though possibly the feelings
temporarily. New York, Illinois,
Missouri, California, Colorado, Mon
tana, Nevada and Wisconsin will
have a referendum, out of which all
sorts of things may appear to be
extracted after the manner of taking
the rabbit from the hat. but thirsts
will not so be quenched and con-
sequent wrath will be invited.
An off-year election affords OPP
portunity for lot Of things to hap
pen, which are not necessarily
sequential or clearly indicative OF
the future. 1t Is possible then to
give freer reign to personal ambi-
lions and prejudices than when the
country is lined up in a Presidential
contest. It Is on the cards for the
excessively high Republican ma
| jorities to recede noticeably but out
of it all we discover nothing to in
| dictate a reunion of the forces which
strenuously contended in the last
national convention Of the Demo
cratic party. Cross currents have
been a conspicuous feature Of these
State elections but no evidence Of q
tide going out or coming in.

STOMACH TROUBLES

So-called Stomach Troubles-indi-
gestion, dyspepsia. gas, sourness. etc,
are, in probably nine cases out of ten,
evidence of too much acid in the
stomach" souring the food, causing
the formation of gas and starting acid
Indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and causes
a full, oppressive burning feeling
known as heartburn, while the acid
irritates and infiames the delicate
stomach lining. Get rid of Gas and
Acidity, and you get rid of Indigestion
To stop or prevent the sourness ana
gas, to neutralize the stomach acids
and keep the stomach sweet and free
from Indigestion, a teaspoonful or
four tablets of Bisurated Magnesia
should be taken in little water after
eating or whenever gas, sourness. pain
or acidity Is felt. This quickly sweet
ems the stomach. neutralizes the acid
ity, stops the pain and is harmless and
inexpensive to use.
Bisurated Magnesia, powder or tab

BE NOT DOWNCAST

One thinks of crime increase, OF
disrespect for law, of crimes winked
at by the professedly virtuous and
sneered at by the criminal element
of reforms annumerable to mend
fences held up by rotten posts
thinks of these matters occasionally
even If not effectively. And fit &C.
casion would seem to be suggested
by the advice the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger gives to voters not to
mark the party square on the ballot
but to mark each name voted for
whether voting the straight or a
split ticket.
The reason assigned for this ad-
vice is that it will be far safer If the
voter wishes an honest return of the
ballot, for "the temptation for dis
honest election officials to overlook
the separate mark and count the
ballot as straight party vote will
be very great, especially under the
existing circumstances in Phila-
delphia.' But be not downcast: the
older generation remembers that in
the good old days" ward heelers
