Following the adjournment of Con

firmity had been plainly exposed tc
the public gaze and after even the
patient himself had admitted that
something was wrong, the loudest
recommendation were for the Dawes
treatment.
Outside experts seem to be in more
or less accord that DR.. Dawes will
get the case and that he will pre-
scribe rigorous treatment which the
patient will follow relgiously, even
though it kills him.
But your correspondent, being ac-
quainted with the patient begs to sug-
gest that the case is more likely to
go to DR.. Norris, the old family doc

OF course there is no question about

Dr. Dawes is one of these smart,
dapper young city fellows. and has
been in town only a couple of years.
Recently quite a few folks have
come to the conclusion that he has a
distinct edge on the oldfashioned
general practitioner, DR.. George w.
Norris.
But some of the old-timers are sus-
picious of his new-fangled ways. They
say the patient was gagged with
three or four clotures this spring
and now look at him. Worse than
ever.
WHAT DR.. Norris says is that if the
patient were taught to realize
that nothing was to be gained by his
incessant tongue clacking, he would

He has proposed in a constitutional
amendment passed three times by the
Senate to abolish the short session

out that a case of filibuster is quite
harmless to the patient except dur
ing a short session.
BY passing the Norris measure, the
Senate has Indicated that it knows
what is good for it and that it pre-
fers the Norris medicine The trouble
is that the chief pharmacists of the
House of Representatives drugstore
have refused thus far to mix the dose,
although most congressman favor it.
Nevertheless, the patient is hard

be gagged or have his tongue ampu-

with homicide through nesIi-
gence," in accidentally shooting
and killing the family coachman,
the Duke Of Ratibor will be
forced to stand trial, it was
learned today.
The coachman was killed dur.
ing one Of the dukes hunting

that because the victim was
wearing fur boots, he was mis-
taken for a wild boar.
The prosecution maintains that
the duke. as an experienced
huntsman, was careless in firing
at an indefinite object.
