Movie Mob Gives
London Big Scare
LONDON. —What at first might
have been mistaken for a genuine
move upon the government build
ings in Whitehall was made when
a small crowd attempted to pass
the barriers recently erected by
the police at the entrances to
Downing street and King Charles
Street. The crowd, however, It
developed, was made up of about
150 actors sent by a moving pic
true company for photographic
purposes only.
The “mob,” whose attempt at
the barricade was a mild one,
was dispersed by the police, the
camera men, meantime, crank
ing vigorously.
34,249 AMERICAN
SOLDIERS DIED IN
WORLD WAR
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. —Final fig
ures on army casualties in the world
war are contained in the annual re
port of Surgeon General Ireland made
public last night, showing 34,249 kill
ed and 224.089 wounded.
The proportion of killed to wound
ed is about the same as in the civil
war, although mortality from gun
shot wounds in the world war was
only 8.26 per cent, as compared with
13.6 per cent in the civil war. The
report said this indicated that im
proved surgical and sanitary meth
ods in the recent war had saved the
lives of 5.34 per cent of all American
soldiers wounded.
Os every 1,000 men sent to France
110 were admitted to hospital ,as the
result of battle casualties, the re
port says, and nearly seven men out
«• 1 <"-00 died as the result of wounds.
<*ra'ntry losses were heaviest, 215.6
out of every 1,000 men of that arm
being wounded and 12.77 killed. The
signal corps was next, with 52.22
wounded, and 3.13 killed per thou
sand.
Death from wounds totalled 13,691,
or slightly more than 6 per cent,
while 158,585 of the wounded, or 70.7
per cent, were returned to duty, the
remainder being invalided home for
treatment or discharge. Shell wounds
were by far the most deadly, the re
port said, adding that no American
soldier lost both arms and both legs
in the world war, or both Ifegs or
both arms and one other extremity.
Eleven lost both legs at the thigh;
one both legs at the knee; nine both
legs below the knee; one both feet
and three one arm above the elbow,
with one leg at the thigh. More than
4,400 soldiers lost a part of one or
more extremities. Sixty-six lost the
sight of both eyes; 44 lost the par
tial sight of both eyes and 644 lost
one eye or the sight of one eye.
Man Makes Valuable

Natives of the Cook Islands in the
Pacific Ocean are reported by a trav

be taking a vegetable oil for rheu
matism which is said to accomplish
amazing results. He says he saw
badly crippled natives completely
cured by swallowing a little of this
oil twice a day. Hundreds of letters
from rheuipatic sufferers have been
answered artd oil sent them free after
he returned to America. Mr. P. E.

Pleasant Pellets.
As Prof. Strauss says, “The excretion of uric acid
we are able to effect by exciting diuresis.” Drink copi
ously of soft rain or distilled water, six or eight glasses
per day, hot water before meals, and obtain Anuric Tab
lets, double strength, for 60 cts., at the nearest drug
store and take them three times a day. If you want a
trial package send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
“Anuric” (anti-uric-acid) is the recent discovery of
Dr. Pierce and is much more potent than lithia, for it
.will dissolve uric acid as hot tea dissolves sugar.

NEW YORK. —Prtice and detectives are combing New York for

church, five blocks away. Police of other cities have been asked to

“Key to Happiness*’
Held by Aged Couple
Married 75 Years Ago
BUFFALO, N. Y.—Have you been
looking for the “key to happiness?”
Well, Mr. and Mrs. George Mathew
son have it.
They live at Fredonia, a small
town near here, where they have just
celebrated tfieir seventieth wedding
anniversary. They challeneg any
one to equal their record of happi
ness through all wedding anniver
saries except the diamond.
“Absolute frankness with one an
other.” That’s the first notch in the
“key?’ And “willingness to give in
a little bit,” is another.
Mrs. Mathewson is 88 years old
and was born in Chautauqua county,
New York. Her husband hails from
Wayne county, New York, and is 91.
"These days,” says Mr. Mathewson,
“a couple who stay married ten years
figure they are ‘just about it? But
As our boys "came
marching home,” they
brought a certain red-blood
ed doctrine, and showed us
the glory of a perfect body.
They will show us how to
"keep fit,” even if we have
passed middle life and are
beyond the athletic stage.
For the tired business man,
the man who feels the daily
grind and the nightly fag,
has meager appetite, head
aches, nerves unstrung, is
gloomy, ending in a soggy
brain, try the right way.
Get out of bed, open the
window, breathe deeply,
exercise the army “setting
up” exercise or use dumb
bells, until in a warm glow.
Before breakfast take hot
that’s nothing. Mom and I cele
brated our tenth anniversary a year
before the civil war broke out. We
had been hitched for eleven years
when I went away with the Tenth
Minnesota infantry, called the Ren
ville Rangers.” . And she says:
“It’s ridiculous haw people are get
ting divorced nowadays. We’ve never
had an argument that amounted to
anything, and I still love him.”
The wedding anniversaries they
have celebrated (except the diamond)
are:
First—Cotton.
Second —Paper.
Third—Leather.
Fifth—Wooden.
Seventh—Woolen.
Tenth—Tin.
Twelfth—Silk and fine linen.
Fifteenth—Crystal.
Twentieth —China.
Twenty-fifth—Silver.
Thirtieth—Pearl.
Fortieth —Ruby.
Fiftieth—Golden.
Seventy-fifth—Diamond;
The owners of the “key to happi
ness” are looking forward to the cel
ebration of their diamond anniver
sary, when they have been married
seventy-five years.

SENATORS MOVE
TO SATISFY PLEAS
OF THE FARMERS
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, Dec. I.—lmpressed
by the insistent demand of agricul
ture that legislative relief be extend
ed the farmers in the present era of
falling prices for their products,
members of the senate committee on
agriculture who have arrived in
Washington and held formal confer
ences have agreed upon a tentative
program. The senators attending
the conferences decided to call in
members of the house committee on
agriculture and exchange views
Thursday afternoon. Friday, there
is to be a conference here pf repre
sentatives of farmers’ organizations.
It was said to be the consensus of
opinion among the senators holding
the meeting that four things at least
are necessary to extricate the farmer
from his present difficulties and open
up the markets in this and other
countries. The suggested program
is as follows:
Early establishment of peace; re
establishment of the war finance cor
poration, which has been inoperative
for many .months; extension through
the war finance corporation of some
form of credit to foreign countries,
so that they may make purchases of
American farm products; supplemen
tary credits legislation to broaden
the present finance system and make
possible, specifically, loans on accept
table collateral instead of loans on
land alone, which, it was suggested,
are of no use to many farmers who
are tenant or not large property
owners.
Senators Kenyon, Norris, Kellogg,
Wadsworth, Kendrick and Harrison
attended the informal meeting of the
senate committee. The farm credits
situation was discussed for an hour
or more and these senators, fresh
from their constituencies, exchanged
first-hand reports of the discontent
of the farming classes and their
present financial embarrassment.

and that which hath wings shall tell
the matter.”
10. Q. —Is it a fact that Revolution-

ton will be called before the commit
tee in connection with the proposal
to re-establish the war finance cor
poration and utilize its revolving
fund for the encouragement of ex
porting. At recent treasury depart
ment conferences with representa
tives of the National Farmers’ union
and other organizations, Secretary
Houston said he was opposed to the
rejuvenation of the finance corpora
tion. Among reasons given by him
in opposition was one that the char
acter of European securities which
may be offered could not be accept
able to the finance corporation.
Furthermore, he said, this corpora
tion was created to aid exporting in
event of some unusual depression.
He insisted that exporting was tak
ing care of itself quite well, and that
farm exports were increasing rather
than diminishing.
President Charles S. Barrett, of the
Farmers’ union, and other farm as
sociation heads, have announced their
intention of going to the mat with
the treasury department and congress
over extension of rural credits. Head
quarters have already been opened
here in advance of the assembling of
fongress and the actual drive will be
in next week followinganother meet
ing of farmer delegates on Friday
Senators and representatives from
the agricultural sections are expected
to attend the Friday gathering. These
same legislators intend cn Thursday
to map out a fairly extensive legisla
tive program and to submit their
suggestions to the farmers’ spokes
men. Meanwhile, the farm organiza
tions are repeatedly advising produc
ers not to sell below the cost of pro
duction, and merchants and bankers
are being told that it would be ruin
ous to the industry should agricul
ture attempt to meet its obligations
at the present prices. The holding
movement which followed the refusal
of the federal reserve board and Sec
retary Houston to extend emergency
aid in financing of this year’s crop
is declared to be growing stronger,
and the farm organization chiefs say
there will be no abatement until con
gress acts, or there is an improve
ment in present market conditions.
The agitation now centering about
the capitol building is entirely non
political. Both Republican and Dem
ocratic senators and representatives
are exercised over the displeasure
apparent in the farming communities
and the financial embarrassments
that have hit agriculture since the
tumble in prices of farm products.
The producers claim that their crops
were made on government pleas to
help feed the world, and that every
thing entering into production, labor,
materials and fertilizers, made the
costs of their crops excessive, and
they cannot be sold at the present
market prices.

Kentucky Liquor Traffic
Grows After Prohibition
No epidemics of consequence have
struck the United States during the
year, and health departments con
tinue to speak about the healthful
ness of various communities. Yet
more medicinal whisky is being used
than was beverage whisky, figures
of the internal revenue department
in Kentucky show.
Beginning in August, 1919, when
all internal revenue districts of the
state were consolidated, the with
drawals for Kentucky show the fol
lowing growth: ,
August 1919, 904 gallons were
withdrawn; September, 669 gallons.
October, 3,155: November, 7,056 and
December, 12,608. The high tide of
exportation was reached during De
cember when 1,056.268 gallons were
taken out of warehouses for expor
tation.
However, 1920 shows how whisky
“improved” as a medicine. During
January 40,094 gallons were with
drawn; February, 131,483; March,
289,486; April. 153,040; May, 223,178;
June. 483,617; July, 689,569; August,
601,609; September, 650,131 of a
total of 3,217,209 gallons for nine
months.
According to a report issued In
Washington, four times as much
whisky was withdrawn in the whole
country during 1920 than was with
drawn during a similar period of
1919. ,
Th a large withdrawals have
alarmed both the prohibition author
ities and legitimate dealers of
whisky. It is said that national as
sociations of druggists, fearing that
drastic measures might be taken by
prohibition officials to prevent such
enormous withdrawals, have signi
fied their intention to assist enforce

Marquette, Mich., in 1903.
The attention of Barle was arrest
ed by flashes of light from a metal
object. Investigation proved this to
be a watch hanging from a tree with
the note inside, which read as fol

“I have been lost three days. I
have shot three deer and placed the
same note in every deer. Art Kahler."
Can Tell Brand of
Booze by Jag
CHICAGO. —If you see a man
swaying from side to side as he
walks down the street, It lg safe
to ask him where he got it, be
cause it is the genuine stuff. But
if in his perambulations he is
imitating a top, then seek not to
imitate him, for it’s moonshine.
So says Dr. W. R. Goodsmith, for
twenty-five years director of the
Washingtonian home.
Dr. Goldsmith has treated thou
sands of alcoholics in all stages
and his observation is that real
whisky only gives a man the
staggers, but moonshine spins
him round and round, and its
effects are much harder to lose.
Scientist Weighs Kiss
And Analyzes Reasons
For Practicing Habit
PARIS, France.—ln a thirty-three
page treatise Prof. Edouard Male- .
spine, one of France’s most learned \
savants, describes, analyzes and dis
sects the kiss. He even weighs it.
In the latter effort he arrives at
the conclusion that persons kiss on
t'he lips from habit.
To excite the same sensations, he
affirms, it is necessary to impress a
kiss equal to the weight of two mil
ligrams on the forehead, temples,
nose and cheeks, three milligrams on
the palm of the hand, five milligram*
on the lips or eyelids and fifteen mil
ligrams on the index finger.
“In the white race,” he continues,
"the kiss may be a sign of love or
merely friendship. But with the yel
low peoples the kiss is reserved to
lovers or man and wife.”
Kissing an Acquired Art
Dr. Malespin says kissing is an ac
quired art and unknown in many
lands. He adds:
“It is the union of two wKk
simultaneously a myriad of settt'i
ments and sensations—love, desire,
fear, respect, purity, abandonment.
“The centuries have modified and
petrified the soul of man. Although
in our day one judges a people's de
gree of culture by their kissing and
the kiss has become the mirror of
society, it remains in the last analy
sis plain, barbarous Nature seeking 1
to satisfy the brutality and violence
of Its desires.”
Dr. Malespine says “the kiss is
the first manifestation of love; sim
ply another and more advanced man
ifestation of the sense of touch than
the handshake. And it is from the
sense of touch that all our other
senses are derived.
Must Be Served Hot
According to the professor, a kiss
can be very disagreeable if It is
cold. One’s lips should be warm, he
asserts, to get full value.
After ten pages of learned discus
sion on whether any one without *
sense of taste could hope to derive
pleasure from kissing, the savant
says kissing is an acquired habit be
cause no newly born baby under
stands anything about It.
“Despite all rules, despite all dan
gers, the kiss will persist and form
a part of our very nature," he con
cludes. “Society models and modi
fies it, but its source is profounder
than, our being. It is one of those
■instinctive gestures, mysterious like
our life and our soul.
