THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
Sargeat’s Inertia Baffle? Senate Com
mittee. '
By CHARLES P. STEWART
NBA Service Writer
Washington, Jan. 20.—Attorney-
General John Garibaldi Sargent is
vast of bulk and level full of inertia—
“that quality of matter by which it
tends, when at rest, to remain at rest,
and when in motion, to continue in
motion.”' ,
Bulk is hard to handle anyway.
Given plenty, of inertia to go with it)
and you've got a combination it’s dif
ficult to beat.
1 f Attorney General Sargeflt once
gained headway it’s a safe bet he'd 1
be about as easy to stop as a runa
way freight caYload of pig iron on a
steep down-grade. But at rest, be
lieve me, h«;s an awful job to start
up.
* • •
For instance, suppose you want to
find out from him something he pre
fers to keep to himself.
There's where his inertia comes in,
working both ways at once. ** -fc -
He'll talk ail right. You .can’t stop
him. But it’s non-essential stuff—
fish stories, jokes, iscellaneous piffle
of nil sorts. When you undertake,
however, to get him to discuss the
subject you’re interested jn, it just
can’t be done. He won't start.
* * *
Sargent's an amiable ginnL I sup
pose he hates to come out flat-footed,
when he's asked a question, and re
fuse to answer.
So he puts on a vacant expression
and says that’s something an assist
ant is attending to, and he knows
nothing about it. Probably this wns
true some of the time, in the early
day of his administration, when he
fras new on the job, but it can’t be
now, or else he really is dumb.
These Vermonters are difficult folk
to fathom and maybe the latter guess
is qgrreet, but my own impression is
- that the attorney general knows a
heap more than he lets on.
* * *
At any rate, the Senate committee
on the so-called aluminum “trust” got
a taste of the attorney general’s in
ertia.
AVhat that committee didn't find
out from John G. Sargent concern
ing the justice department's investi
gation of tht l aluminum industry would
fill the Congressional Library and
quite a lot more.
It made him look like a chump—
all the things he had to admit he
didn’t know—but it was a prime
quality of inertia, for all that.
DREADFUL PAINS
Georgia lady, Who Had Lost Too
i V Much Weight, Was Advised
’’•* to Take Cardui and Is
* Now Well.
Columbus, Ga.—-Mrs. George S.
Hunter, of this city, writes:
“After I married, thirteen months
ago, I suffered with dreadful pains
In my sides during ... My sido
hurt so bad it nearly killed me. I
had to go to bed and stay some
times two weeks at a time. I
could not work and I just dragged
around the house.
“I got very thin—l went from 126
pounds down to less than 100. My
mother had long been a user ot
Cardui and she knew what a good
medicine it was for this trouble, sa
site told me to get some and take it.
I sent to the store after it and be
fore I had taken the first bottle
. I began to improve.
“My side hurt less and I began to
improve in health. ... The Cardui
acted as a fine tonic and I do not
feel like the same person. I am
- eo much better. I am well now.
I have gained ten pounds and am
still gaining. My sides' do not
trouble me at aIL

knew about Cardui.” NC-160

* Discover Fountain of Youth
At last the fountain of perpetual |
youth has been found. Experts cf j
Johns Hopkins medical school have
produced in their experimental em- j
bryology laboratory a method' where-1
by animals may bo kept free front the
changes”of ape and made capable of
living indefinitely. “ The only trans
formation that takes place as they
grow older is that they grow silvery
in color.
, But! wait! Don’t get “all excited.”
There’s a hitch to it. The process
applies only to tadpoles. However,
it is , interesting to know that these
wiggfy creatures can be kept in file
“flower of youth.”
When frog eggs are hatching at the
laboratory, and long before the tad
poles develop fully, the anterior lobe
of the hypothesis (a gland in the
brain) is out away. With this lohe
gone, the experts claim, the Pbyroid
gland does not develop properry and
the tiny tad remains continually
young.
By feeding them bits of the gland
that is cut away or by putting it in
the water with them, it is claimed,
the Silvery color disappears a/ld the
development of the tadpoles into black
frogs goes on. However, they only
develop or age ns long as the gland
they lack is supplied to Piiem. When
this supply is stopped, aging stops.

A Sunday school teacher one morn

impress upon the minds of the chil

grace before eating. So turning to
Willie, the minister's son, she asked

She was very much shocked when
Willie replied: ."Go light on the but
