Calhoun On the Job

Attorney Gen. Robert Lee Bobbitt has sent Asst. Gen.
Galloway Calhoun to San Antonio to take up the in
vestigation Of the murder Of Capt. Charles Stevens,
prohibition agent.
Atty. Gen. Bobbitt says he has information, from
other sections Of the state which confirmed the report
submitted by the grand jury as to the existence Of a
bootleg ring Of wide ramification. His information he
says indicates very strongly that there is a bootleg
ring operating In Texas which is a disgrace to the good
citizens Of the state, and a direct challenge TO the in
tegrity Of our government.
In his letter to Judge McCrory, the attorney general
made this declaration: Il am satisfied that the Off
GERS and citizens of Bexar county can care for their
own affairs. and I have sent Calhoun to you with the
request that he give you every cooperation and help
which you and the grand jury desire" Law enforce
ment Is said to be the duty Of the hour. Copy making
for the newspapers and the public Is a demand Of the
hour.

a large, hairy, and particularly
ugly monkey, which he presented
to his father. The barber trained
the monkey to assist him in the

One day a stranger dropped into
the shop, and had a good look at
the monkey sitting in a far corner
staring intelligently at comic pa

called to the door to answer some
query or other, and in his absence
the monkey seized the lathering

Afterwards he grabbed a razor and
started to strOp it with equal dill
gence, but in a grossly careless
manner. Then he clambered up on
the arm Of the chair and made as

experts on precious stones, old

Disputes arising out of the sale

Eskimo Musicians Not
Enthusiastic About Jazz

The Eskimo must be the great
music-lover. 1t is said of him that
he will sit on his native ice for
hours listening to the graphophone.
His own music he makes on an in
strument which consists of a skin
tightly stretched over the frame of
a hoop-half drum and half tam
BOURNE. Eight players of eight Of
these instruments make an Eskimo
orchestra. With each man strik-
ing the one note of his instrument
with a rod, the eight notes of the
octave are produced. Also, the
musician sings as he plays. Need
less to say, the people nourished
on this music are amazed by the
more civilized music, and it is said
of them that they greatly appreci-
ate graphophone records of sing
ers. Strangely enough, too, they
prefer most other music to jazz.

Fastest Thing on Legs

.The fastest thing on legs is the
title deserved by the whippet, the
featherweight, long-legged racing
dog that is rapidly becoming pop
ular in America. Over a 200-yard
course the dogs will outdistance
race horse, reaching the finish in
from 10 to IL seconds. That is
half the time the fastest man
would require!
In the Farm Journal, Werner P.
Meyer tells how the whippet orig
mated in England. "The breed was
built up," he relates, "chiefly by
mixing the blood of the greyhound
with the terrier family. The result
of this interbreeding was a dog re-
sembling the greyhound in physical
e"otures, but smaller and lighter of
aid; and to the speed and STAN
ina of the greyhound were added
the daring and gameness of the
terrier family"

SAUK CENTRE HERALD, Sank Centre, Mimi.

Most snoring is done with the
mouth open although it may occur
even with the mouth and lips shut.
Vibration of the soft palate and
uvula due to the air escaping
through both nose and mouth gives
the commonest variety in adults.
ANY narrowing of the upper
air passages so that free airway is
INSTRUCTED may be associated with
noisy breathing when asleep even
if breathing is quiet when awake.
"This production of noise does
not seem so curious when one notes
the physiological changes during
sleep. The relaxation of our mus
cles takes place in the back of the
nose, the throat, the larynx, just as
it does for the limbs. This allows
the walls to lose the tension main
tanned while awake. If in so doing
mechanical difficulties in breathing
occur or are increased, snoring
may result.
Apparently, the sense of hearing
goes to sleep before parts of the
nervous system which maintain the
muscle tension of the throat, so
that one never hears himself snore.
Sometimes person will get to
snoring so loudly or breathing so
difficulty that it will wake him up
abruptly enough to be dimly con-
scious of his own last snore. But
usually you don't know that you
snere, except as your friends and
| enemies tell you about it. OF
course the mouth becomes very dry
and uncomfortable when used for
breathing, and as mouth breathing
is commonly accompanied by snor-
ing you might draw deductions.
practically every condition that
may obstruct the nose and throat
may be the cause as small narrow
nostrils, adenoids, nasal polyous,
any inflammation causing enlarge
ment of the mucous membrane of
the nose and throat, such as nasal
catarrh, sinusitis, acute colds, ton
silitis. In most cases snoring is
just habit. Once the habit is
formed, curing this condition does
not necessarily cure the snoring. A
child may become a mouth breath
er because of adenoids, but con.
tinue the mouth breathing and
snoring after the adenoids have
been removed"
