HISTORIC APPENDIX
+ 4. i. i. j. + i. j. i. i. j. j. j.

Washington e. H.-Citizens of
Washington G. II. are very proud OF
the affix "eourt house" on the name
Of their city and any effort to change
it has always met with concerted OPP
position.
The name goes far back in Amer
ican history. Originally designated as
Washington, Ohio, this city found con-
siderable mail troubles as three OF
four other Ohio cities bore the same
name.
This city is in the old Virginia mill
itary survey and contains many de-
scendants of Virginians Thus when
the troubles with the mails arose the
citizens affixed "court house" to the
city's name in the same manner that
AppomatoX Court House in Virginia
was designated
Citizens claim the city often is er-
roneously designated as Washington
c. II. and Washington Courthouse.
They insist that the court house should
be two separate words.

savings-county police were advised
Thursday.
Sunday, Ehman removed the
money from hiding place in his

Ehman related that, Sunday he
went on a trip in the auto and

He did not have occasion to look in

turning from the trip, until Tuesday
How anyone found the sack or
would want it, without being aware
of its contents, is mystery to En-

LETTERS TO EDITOR

+ GuILDI.
The 5addest sickness known today
is that mental illness, which comes
on Letween the ages Of ID and 30,
known as Dementia Precox.
1t is the saddest because, first it
attacks youth; second, it is looked
upon as disgrace; third, practically
nothing is done for it because it is
wrongly thought of as an inherited
condition; fourth, most sufferers, un-
treated, never recover but are forced
to live in state hospitals for Is years
or more before death closes the pic
ture. About 10000 boys and girls
are taken ill with this condition each
year in the United States.
Seemingly the best method of at
tack on this problem is through the
general public The next 10 years
supply of these cases is yet in So
ciety, many of them in high school,
others trying to adapt themselves
unsuccessfully to their everyday life.
Young people in the earliest stages
of the disease are very much mis-
understood, thought to be stubborn,
unsocial, contrary, queer, etc. Prac-
tically nothing is being done to help
them back to normal physical and
mental health. The disease is per-
mitted to continue until the day
comes when the only thing left to
do is to probate them to one of our
many overcrowded state institutions.
Every effect has its cause. In
Dementia Precox the cause will in
variably be found to be some form
of auto-intoxication. Ii the relatives
of the sufferer would but take the
patient to the family physician early
in the progress of the disease, and
have him make very thorough
physical examination, the cause OF
causes will invariably be found in
some unhealthy dental condition, or
diseased tonsils, or in a sluggish
bowel this is slowly poisoning the
patient. Sometimes the glands of in
ternal secretion are likewise affected
to some degree, or other while again
a marked increase in the cerebro-
spinal fluid is found due to some abb |
normal or unhealthy condition exist
ing in the brain or its coverings.
Encourage an early physical exam
ination and thus start to relieve the
real causes behind that dreaded and
insidious disease, Dementia Precox.

Swiss Wise in Passing
Laws to Protect Fish

If there are still trout in the
lakes and mountain streams of
Switzerland, which have been fished
for GOO years, we can preserve trout
in the streams of this continent.
The way to do it Is to do it; and
one of the means probably lies In
not allowing anybody to cast line
or gig into any stream for long pc
RODS of time.
1t is the only way. Beyond a
doubt, In Switzerland it is unheard
of to explode dynamite in a water
course to totally destroy all the fish,
frogs, nevis, minnOws, crayfsh,
waterworms, water spiders and wa
ter striders that skate on the sur
face-hydrobatidae. so-called by sci
entists. Dynamite kills every liv-
ing thing, fnny creatures and their
food simultaneously. And it is sur
prising that the MOSES, the very
algae floating in the water, does
not perish. In Switzerland that
kind Of pursuit of fish is unknown.
But Switzerland has had hundreds
of years to grow wise-and efficient

Bepinninp of Baking

At first, the Stone age men ate
their wild grains raw, as their ape
like ancestors had done. The next
step was to pound them and mix
them with water to make them more
digestible, says an article in Popu-
lar Science Monthly. Some cave
men dropped a bit Of this mixture
on hot stone, tasted the result and
found it good. This fellow acct
dentally invented both the griddle
and the wheat cake. Later they i'm
proved on the process by covering
the cakes with hot ashes; that real
ly was the beginning of baking. The
new delicacy must have been a well
come change to people who lived on
little else but meat, and soon be-
came popular.

Peter. 'Tll go a little farther down
| and watch again" So Peter did.
This time IL was not nearly so long
after Rattles disappeared with fish
till he flashed past on his way to
the Smiling Pool. THAT means that
am getting nearer" thought Peter.
ut can't be very far from here. I'll
go a little farther and wait again."
SO Peter waited until Rattles the
Kingfsher had gone back to the
Smiling Pool, and then scampered
along down the bank of the Laugh
ing Brook. This time he went far
ther than before, and once more hid
in the long grass. he waited and
waited, but not glimpse of Rattles
did he get. although now and then
he heard his harsh rattle farther up
the Laughing Brook. After be had
waited long. long time. or at least
what seemed TO him long, long
time. he thought of something. 1t
must be that he had passed the
home of Rattles without knowing
it. He had come too far. Yes, sir.
that must be the reason that he no
longer saw Rattles the Kingfsher
coming and going. That home must
be somewhere between the place
where he had last hidden and where
he was then hiding.
Once more Peter decided to
change his hiding place. He poked
his head out over the edge Of the
bank and looked up the Laughing
Brook. A little way above was a
bend in the Laughing Brook which
shut off the view. From just be-
yond that came the unmusical voice
of Rattles. That's the place for
me-" thought Peter. 'Tll hide just
where can see around the bend
and see what | shall see"
Now all this time Peter hadn't
osce though of how unfair it was
to be spying on a neighbor in this
way. He was just trying to satisfy
his curiosity. He didn't once think
that it was not the way one Quaddy
should treat another Quaddy. So his
conscience, which you know is that
