lot with kidney complaint. I
had right smart pains in the
small of my back and suffered
with headaches. I got so nervous
I was all unstrung and irritable.

tures for ransom, and he prefers
to gather in women and children,
of well to do families.
He shows consideration to the
poor fishermen and farmers along
the river who arc friendly to him
as a result, and warn him of the
activities of the police. — -

INCOME TAXES TO
BE TESTED OUT
Washington, October 29.—Pub
lication of income tax returns is
illegal in the opinion of Attorney
General Stone, who will institute
a test suit in the near future for
a final settlement of the question
by the courts.
Up To Courts.
The attorney general’s opinion
does not make the publication il
legal, but will carry its weight.
Legality is up to the courts.
Stone set out his views in a
lengthy formal statement from his
office Tuesday after the matter
had been thrashed out at the cab
inet meeting.
He did not indicate where the
suit would be brought, or against
what newspaper, The returns
were published in numerous news
papers throughout the country.
To Bring Suit Immediately.
The attorney general, comment
ing afterward, said that the suit
would be instituted soon, perhaps
tomoA-ow morning. The penalty
provided under law is a $1,000 fine
or a year in prison, or both under
the* old law.
Stone does not nse the word
‘‘illegal” anywhere in his state
ment, but makes it perfectly clear
that he regards the publication
by newspapers as not in accord
ance with the law.

Dark and Light Moon
The United States weather bu
reau says that “light moon” or “light
af the moon” means all that time
during which the moon Is above the
horizon through the forepart of the
night, or from dusk to bed time,
lay 11 o'clock p. m. “Dark moon”
>r “dark of the moon” means all the
rest of the time, or all the time that
;t Is not “light of the moon.” But
rountry people usually have a dif
ferent theory. They consider “light
if the moon” the time when the
moon Is going from “new” to “full,”
ind “dark of the moon” when the
■noon Is on the wane. The fact is,
the terms “dark moon” and ‘‘light
noon” are purely popular terms and
mve no scientific significance what
ever.—Pathfinder Magazine.
Chivalry
It was this which, without con
founding ranks, hail produced a
loble equality, and handed It down
hrough all the gradations of social
life. It was this opinion which
mitigated kings Into compan ms.
and raised private men to he fel
lows with kings. Without force
3r opposition. It subdued the fiercest
pride and power; it obliged sov
?relgns to submit to the soft collar
rf social esteem, compelled stern
authority to submit to elegance, and
jaye a dominating vanquisher of
laws to be subdued by manners.—
Edmund Burke.
Origin of Silk Culture
Although silk culture originated
In China and the very name China
finds its birth In at term meaning
“silk people,” the United States
looks to Japan for most of this raw
material. American mills are weav
ing nearly 50,000,000 pounds of raw
silk annually, of which about 80 per
cent comes from Japanese mulberry
orchards, says the Detroit News.
The ugly little silk worm Is treated
with great respect In the Orient,
for it brings to the far eastern peo
ples more than $300,000,000 from
the United States alone.
