No. Hut perhaps gallstones

inedicimil treatment In persons who
liuvo signs of gall-sac inflammation.
Stout persons along toward forty
mostly women are apt to havo gall-
sue disease especially persons who
have had typhoid fever a few years
previously.
Most everybody thinks gall-sac
trouble is "stomach trouble" or "dys-
pepsia" at Ilrst. The earlier symp-
toms are occasional slight pain or
discomfort with gaseous distention
felt about the stomach region; con-
siderable belching after meals which
soim times relievos or seems to re-
lievo tlio discomfort. The patient
may note icclings of coldness or
slight shivering at times. There Is
a tender place under the edge of tlio
right ribs. Not rarely there is palpi-
tation. These symptoms are prone lo
come on in the niaht.
A later stage developing In mouths

ing but the health is pretty fair
between attacks. "Acuto indigos-
(ion" shoulders the blame for theso
attacks in the patient's diagnosis.

generally blamed a rat her character-
istic symptom in itself.
In the third stage typical colic oc-
curs now and theu severe pain in
the upper abdomen perhaps vomit-
i'g and chill fever sweat following

strongly for gall-stones. X-ray pho-

ing considerable calcium salts but

T THIS particular period of the
year the New Year's resolu-
tion begins to occupy the atten
tion of a great many citizens of vary-
ing prominence and sobriety. Tlio
New Year's resolution is a supersti-
tion to the effect that between 11 i.m.
and midnight on December ".1st of
each year a backbone composed of
gelatine and putty will suddenly stif-
fen up and become so indexible that
its possessor will be enabled to say
"No" and stick to it for years at a
time.
Acting on tills superstition mm
who cannot exist throughout the year
without a drink before and after
each thirsl resolve never to drink
again: while men whose months
would feel like an extinct and un-
filled crater with "ii cigars in them
declare that lienc n'lb and forever
they will remain on hie i" the Amal-
gamated Older of Human Chimneys
and will use the money thus saved
to buy houses and farms.
Sad to say most of these resolu-
tions do not last over forty-eight
hours. There are many reasons for
this. In the first place it is true
t lint between eleven and twelve
o'clock on the night of December
31st men find it easy to refrain from

The
Sr.
.! mi in originally organizing the

people outdoor children by teaching
them the jojs of fresh air life. Ai
originaily fonue.l Mr. Seion says
the Hoy Scouts t.i ivcment was to he
a "message of conservation and
brotherhood." Now according to its
organizer:
"The study of trees (lowers and
mil are is giving way to wigwagging
drills and oilier activities of a mili-
tary nature thus destroying the sym-
bolism of the organization. As it
stands now militarism conies first

Q. A man at this place advertised
7iis property to be sold as town lots
lie. had it laid off with streets. On
day of sale he sold one-half to one
man for fanning purposes. I bought
two lots on day of sale and paid one-

my second payment was due this
man had bought most of the other
lots and I did not meet my votes
so lost my first payment because the
land was used for a farm. Would
this man be liable for damages and
can I collect my payment
Q. If there was a material mis-

Defense Of Ouilty Persons
In considering the ethics of ad-
vocacy the question is often asked
whether a lawyer should defend a
prisoner when iie knows him to be
guilty of the crime charged against
him.
Tie general opinion of the laity ia
that lie is not justified in undertak-
ing or continuing a defence under
such circumstances but a different
standard lias been prescribed for
guidance of the legal conscience by
eminent judges.
In the case of the assassin of
President MeKinley two former
justices of the supreme court were
assigned by the presiding judge to
represent the defendant at the trial
A remarkable instance which i; il-
lustraiive of this doubtful point oc-
curred in England at the trial of
Courvosier tor the murder of Lord
Fussell In 1840. The prisoner
was represented by Phillips one of
the must celebrated advocate:; of the
period. At the "m of tu first day of
the trial it .eemed almost certain
that the defendant would be
acipiitted as tile witnesses for the
crown had been so shaken upon
eross-cxniniriiition that no one be-
lieved tii 'ir teslimoi'v. Ilot.h Phil-
lips iniil his juror C!ark:-on. were
firmly convinced at tin; outset ef
their client's innocence. Hefore the
trial opened on the second day how-
ever the prisoner confessed to bis
lawyers that be had committed the
murder but stated that he expected
them Ui still defend him.
Pepper Talks
By Ci:oi;oi: Mattmi-.w Adams
Phillips was for throwing up the
brief but was opposed by Clarkson
who pointed out that the prisoner
was on trial for his life and entitled
to a defence.
In this dilemma they consulted
privately with Baron Parke who
was sitting on the bench with
Chief Justice Tindal at the trial in
the Old Bailey.
Baron Parke made this decision:
"If the prisoner still requests you to
defend him you are bound to do so
and to use every fair argument from
the evidence." Phillips thcreupoa
continued the defence of the prison-
er who was however convicted and
Buffered the death penalty.
The question is at best a delicate
one and involves the'' honor of the
bar in its consideration. Perhaps
after all it is more abstract than
real for it is seldom that a prisoner
owns up to his counsel that he Is
guilty. '.

London Likes This War Song
Jack Norworth's song "Private
Michael Cassidy (pom-pom) V. C"
recently sung in a London theatre
was the hit of the revue "Looking
Around." The audience was whist-
ling the refrain after the very first
verse. And altogether Mr. Norwortlj
muse have sung about ten. All Eng-
land will soon be humming that
catchy air. One verse runs ad
follows:
Who was it when ho found his boots
were leaking one day
Went out to get a new pair from a
Herman straight away?
Who was it catnu back late and said
1 must apologize
I h id to kill nineteen of them before
I got my size?

Ideals
A human being without Ideals is
as worthless as a ship without a
rudder. As surely and confidently as
does the rudder guide the ship so do
clean delinilp Ideals guide and
shape and complete a successful
career
There is never any prr gross with-
out an objective point.
If yor are building a business and
have carefully formulated honest
Ideals toward which you are to pro-
ceed there can be small question as
to your Success. Failure may mark
the way but your Ideals will keep
you in the right direction where ulti-
mate Winning is certain to be
reached.
As soon ar you learn the Ideals of
a Man. you know the Man.
It is impossible to find a really
great man or woman or business that
doesn't literally reflect Ideals in all
directions for every worthy Ideal
seems to be gifted with millions of
reflecting rays.
We are each of us responsible to
Society and the World in general for
our Idials.
Worthy Ideals earnestly sought
and sincerely carried out credit a
man on into posterity but um.nrthy
Ideals discredit and unharness a man
In re and now. Formulate your
Ideals with Others in mind. Meas-
ure not Success in the Immediate.
Make your Ideals so high that they
will not only lead you on and up but
all about you.

A Kansas paper thinks people are
