POLICE BAFFLED
BY FACE SLAPPER
Curious Things Happen in
French Peasant’s Home.
Paris. — Husky policemen have
prowled in vain, learned scientists
have investigated without discovering
a single clew*, and neighbors have held
watch parties galore—yet the mysteri-
ous face-slapping thing'that inhabits
the home of Jean Rossier, a peasant
living near Rochpique, France, con-
tinutes its ghostly depredations.
Face-slappiftg by invisible hands
continues, and even the police and
curious scientists have felt husky, but
unseen, blows. Furniture tumbles
about. A noise like the rumbling of
distant thunder comes from the attic
at night. Beds are unmade and fires
in the cook stove extinguished.
And members of the Rossier family
are awakened sometimes at night by
the screams of the children, on whose
faces are bloody scratches.
“I have challenged the Tiling to come
out and fight a dozen times, but never
yet have I had even a brief glimpse of
it,” explains Rossier himself, who is a
veteran of the World war and a husky,
middle-aged farmer. “This house be-
longs to me, .though, and I’ll not leave
it in Spite of what may happen. One
of these days I’ll get hold of the Thing
and teach it a lesson, and then my
family and I can again live in peace.”
Neighbors say the ghostly actions
are actually the spitework of an
eighty-year-old woman who lives alone
in a shack in the town. She has cast a
spell over the Rossier family because
of some fancied wrong, the neighbors
say. Feeling against the old woman
is so great that police are forced to
maintain a constant guard around her
home to protect her from violence.
The Rossier case has become the
talk of France, and daily stories of
its last outrages are carried by the
Paris newspapers.' Scientists have
been called in on a great many such
cases, especially in the rural regions,
and usually have succeeded in expos-
ing some clever trickery. Never, how-
ever, have they encountered a case
so baffling and so apparently without
solution.
Use “Masonic Surgery” to
Restore Brock Statue
Queenston, Ont.—By the use of “ma-
sonic surgery” workmen are busy re-
storing the 18-foot weather-marked and
storm-maimed statue of Gen. Sir Isaac
Brock, hero of the war of 1812.
Seventy-five feet above the grave
where the general’s body lies beside
that of his aide-de-camp, Lieut.-Col.
John MacDonnell, stands a stone ef-
figy of the British troop commander
.who was killed in the battle of Queens-
ton Heights October 13, 1812.
About a year ago, during a thun-
derstorm, the general’s 1,300-pound
right arm, extended before him with
the hand clutching a scroll, was brok-
en off and shattered on the ground at
the base of the monument.
When workmen had raised a scaf-
folding about the column on which
Brock’s effigy stands they discovered
that weather had played havoc with
the statue in the 75 years it has stood
on the plain looking over the Niagara
river which flows 500 feet below.
“Fags” Luxury for Wives,
British Judge Decides
Worcester.—Sitting in the Worcester
County court, Judge Reeve, K. C., a
few days ago handed down a decision
that cigarettes are a luxury and not a
necessity for a wife, and that a hus-
band need not pay for them—in other
words, that she cannot run her mate
into debt for the “fags.”
The case Was that of a grocer
against a resident of this city, whom
he sued for cigarettes supplied to the
wife. The husband, it developed, op-
posed his mate’s use of tobacco, and
refused to pay the grocer’s bill. It
seems that the wife had formerly had
the cigarettes charged on the . regular
bill, but in order to check up on her
smoking, had ordered them placed in
a separate account. The husband had
not noticed the item on the regular
monthly statement.
Frog Ends 30-Year Fast
in Texas Icebox Prison
Houston, Texas.—The story of a
frog that had lived 30 years without
nourishment or activity in the asbes-
tos packing of a refrigerator was re-
vealed here. The creature was re-
ported somewhat emaciated, but its
eyes-were bright and blinking. Mrs.
M. Butler told of discovering the frog
when she dismantled an old refrig-
erator which had been in the house
30 years.
Standing Room Only
The Hague.—The world will he
hanging out a ‘‘Full House” sign
soon, according to the international
statistics institute, whicli states that
the population of the world now ex-
ceeds 2.000.000.000. an increase of
400,000,000 in twenty years.

Net Contents 15 Fluid Practiffi
Children will fret, often for no
apparent reason. But there’s al-
ways one sure way to comfort a
restless, fretful child. Castoria!
Harmless as the recipe on the
wrapper; mild and bland as it
tastes. But its gentle action
soothes a youngster more surely
than some powerful medicine
that is meant for the stronger
Systems of adults.
That’s the beauty of this special
children’s remedy! It may be
given the tiniest infant—as often
as there is any need. In cases of
colic, diarrhea, or similar disturb-
ance, it is invaluable. But it has
everyday uses all mothers should
nx.tH
facsimile/lure
understand. A coated tongue calls'
for a few drops to ward off consti-l
pation; so does any suggestion of,
bad breath. Whenever children
don’t eat well, don’t rest well, or
have any little upset—this pure
vegetable preparation is usually
all that’s needed to set everything
to rights. Genuine Castoria has
Chas. H. Fletcher’s signature 041
the wrapper. Doctors prescribe it.

Old-Timer Takes Fling
at Feminine Reasoning
With the announcement of a wom-
an senator nominated in Illinois, a
worried look spread over the counte-
nance of Senator. Moses of New
Hampshire. “I guess the Old Guard
is about licked,” he grinned, “be-
cause in debate, either domestic or
political, you can’t beat a woman.
“A constituent of mine has a wife
who would make a great congress-
woman. She had tackled her hus-
band for a new fur coat.
“ ‘But, my gracious,’ lie cried, T
just bought you an elegant, brand-
new fox coat last year!’
“ ‘New!’ shrieked his wife, ‘John
Jones, how dare you say it was
new? You know very well that the
fox had been wearing it for at least
six years!’”—Los Angeles Times.
Uncover Ancient City
The French government and Yale
university are uniting in the work
of uncovering the ancient city of
Doura on the Euphrates river. The
scientists have been excavating for
about a year and the objects un-
earthed are said to have thrown
new light on the little-known era
of 300 A. D., as well as the obscure
Parthian civilization.
Up to the present time the finds
consist mainly cl parchment records,
of no importance in themselves, be-
ing mostly minor legal documents,
but of great value in supplying
names of officials and other data of
the city.
