TWENTY SEVEN SPOONS
REMOVED PROM STOMACH
KAN8A8 H08PITAL PATIENT
By Associated Press
Parsons, Kansas, March 16.—J. A.
Malgrene, 40, an inmate of the Kansas
State Hospital for epileptics here, was
recovering from an operation perform-
ed Wednesday night, when twenty-
seven spoons were removed from his
stomach.
According to doctors, Malgrene’e
mental condition was responsible for
his mania of devouring silverware.
For months, his condition puzzled phy-
sicians, and it was not until he was
put in the observation wart that at-
tendants solved the puzzle.
Wednesday noon his meals were
served to him in bed. An attendant
reported to her superior that she be-
lieved her patient had eaten a spoon.
X-ray pictures were taken of his stom-
ach and the remains of several spoons
showed up when the picture was de-
veloped.
Last night surgeons operated on him
and removed the silverware and sev-
eral small pieces of wood, believed to
be matches. Some of the spoons re-
moved were partly disintegrated by
digestive fluids amf- brought the state-
ment from doctors that Malgrene may
have been, enjoying hfs “spoon salads”
for more than a year.

Dallas, Texas, March 21.—The jewel-
ed insignia to have been presented to
the retiring high officer of the Grand
Lodge Independent Order of Odd Fel-
lows, has been lost or stolen, accord-
ing to a report to the police. It Was
valued at about 6400. It could not be

it to the officer late yesterday.

Bastrop, La., March 16—No Indict-
ments were returned by the Morehouse
Pariah grand jury In connection with
the slaying of Watt Daniel and T. F.
Richard on Aug. 24 last and various
hooded band activities, which the jury
has been investigating for the laat ten
days. The Jury’s report was given to
District Judge Fred Odom late Thurs-
day. *
Attorney General A. V. Coco and two
of his assistants left here before the
grand jury made Its report. Mr. Coco
said that In event no Indictments were
returned, ho would file bills of Infor-
mation against certain persons named
at the open hearing here in January
as having participated In mob activi-
ties. He did not • state, however,
whether this action would be taken
immediately.
In Its report, the grand jury re-
ferred to the masked band case as
■"the deplorable crime of Aug. 24,” and
stated that while it had gone thorough-
ly into the affair, It could find no evi-
dence that would warrant the Indict-
ment of any individuals.
“As to deplorable crime of Aug. 24,
1922, when five men were kidnapped
on the highway of Morehouse Parish,
wn have carefully considered all the
evidence brought before this grand
jury as to tho activities of masked
and hooded men,” the report says in
part. “The majority of this body are
of the opinion that the evidence fur-
nished was not sufficient .to warrant
the finding of true bills against any
particular party.
"As to reports published In certain
newspapers that friction has develop-
ed between the grand Jury and the
Attorney General and his assistants,
wo wish to brand same as absolutely
false and unfounded. The relations
between the Individual members of
this grand Jury and the Attorney Gen-
eral and his staff have at all times
been pleasant and harmonious.
"Some 125 w(.nesses have been ex-
amined during the session and we
have inquired into all matters report-
ed to us, having retured seven true
bills on matters aside from the mob
cases. We find little law violated ex-
cept In the case of the prohibition law
and in several of these the District
Attorney has already filed bills of In-
formation.”

Feeders
A very simple and economical method of providing car-
'behydrates in feeds for hofs, cattle and sheep, is the use of
hlaek strap feeding pure Sugar Cane Molasses. This is not
a mixed feed, but as the name indicates, pore sugar oane
molasses used as a body builder and conditioner for horses,
steers, calves, dairy cows, hofs and sheep. A palatable and
digestible feed may be made of roughage fodder, tankage en-
silage, inferior hay an dstraw if combined with this black
Strap molasses, make yourselves acquainted with this val-
uable feeding material, especially now when fanners in so
many parts of the country are doing a larger amount ef stock
feeding.
I will sell this at the Elevator iu five gallon or barrel
lets at 2o per pound. I also make my own mixed feed now.

BEST JOB PRINTING AT HERALD
Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt,
Feb. 26.—(By Mall.)—While the world
has been following with unabated In-
terest and curiosity the wonderful ar-
chaeological discoveries In the Valley
of the Kings, little thought has been
given to the years of toll, research
and patience given by archaeologists
in these far-off ruins In order that
these wonders of a vanished civiliza-
tion may be made available to present
generations. It is perhaps little un-
derstood that the recent unearthing of
the tomb of King Tutankhamun by
Howard Carter, the British excavator,
represents a continuous effort of 33
years of research and excavation. Car-
ter began digging on the site of The-
bes, the ancient capital of Egypt, when
he was eighteen and has never ceased
his labors.'
He was never rich enough to con-
duct his ow nexcavatlons, but has In-
variably worked for others. Some of
his most notable work was done under
Theodore M. Davis of Boston, who
from 1907 to 1914 discovered six royal
tombs and a wealth of rare and valu-
able antiquities. In more recent years
Carter has been associated with Lord
Carnarvon, who financed the excavat-
ing work of Tutankhamun’s tomb. Car-
ter has dervied no pecuniary reward
fro mhia years of research. A friend
has described him as "poor as a tomb
mouse." American visitors at the
newly-found tomb have remarked that
the now famous excavator wears the
same suit of clothes, the same hat and
sh.^es, daily, Sunday and throughout
the year. * •
Carter’s, devotion and labors In the
cause of Egyptological science are
typicdl of the example of all excava-
tors, British, American and French, in
the ancient ruins of Egypt. These
men may be described as modern her-
mits in this 5,000-year-old Valley of the
Kings. -They lead a one-sided and nar-
row existence. Cut off from all civil-
ising and uplifting influences, the
score or more of them who comprise
the foreign colonies of Luxor move
within a narrow grove, and seldom
even come in contact with one anoth-
er. Excavating is almost a religion
with them.
The Valley of the Kings and the
Theban hills, 450 miles up the Nile
from Cairo, are Infested with wolves,
jackals, wildcats, foxes, snakes, liz-
ards, scorpions, vultures, beetles and
vermin. The archaeologists live in un-
pretentious stone and mortar houses
with nothing but the barest rough-
hewn furniture and the most primitive
household equipment. The house oc-
cupied by the American experts was
built through the generosity of the late
J. Plerpont Morgan, who was moved
to pity by their privations and axpos-
ure.
The natives of the valley are pathet-
Ically poor and untutored, rood la
kscarce and expensive. Water, where
It exists at all, has to be brought from
jafar In hand-buckets. The nights are
cold, and fuel Is difficult to obtain.
Many of th eother needs of life also
are leaking. The heat of the valley is
distressingly severe during the day,
and theentire area is plagued with
files and pernicious insects.
The archaeologists have few social
contacts. They live Ilk erecluses. The
whole west bank of the Nile In the
neighborhood of ancient Thebes Is a
desolate, forbidding waste of mud,
sand and rock. No flower or vegetable
of blade of grass has reared its head
alove this barren terrain for 60 cen-
turies. Only the most primitive roads
exist. Houses are few and far be-
tween. In selecting this place for
their eternal entombment the ancients
choose with an ey eto its solemnity,
seclusion and silence. The only hum-
an beings that move among the se-
questered ruins of what was once the
most flourishing city in the world are
lean and spectre-like Arabs dressed In
white robes. '
The American visitor to the caver-
nous valley which holds the Imperial
dead of the by-gone ages is over-awed
by the majesty and dignity of the
great, precipitous sandstone cliffs that
stand sentinel on either side of the
necropolis. He is reminded of the
heights of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado, or of Yellowstone Falls
when the noonday sun transforms
them Into a golden valley.
By day nothing disturbs the deep
repose of the place except Jhe sound of
the pick-axes and shovels of the
crowds of native boys and men em
ployed In combing the earth for Its
still hidden archaeologioaL treasures.
raoh just as he was laid away 6,000
years ago. A modern electric light
throws Its raya upon the emaciated
face, and gives th ebeholder a thrill of
awe and trepidation.
Day after day, throughout the years,
the silent, patient archaeologists- pur-
sue their lonely calling, finding here
a broken statue of a sovereign, there
the tomb of a high prlset, here the
shattered skeleton of a human, thare
the crumbled figure of a goddess, and
everywhere small tokens of a civilisa-
tion that gave th eworld Its rudiments
of culture, art and humanity.

owls and the cries of jackals and wild-
cats. In the midst of the silence and
solitude one feels himself standing
upon the brink of ttfo worlds, with
eyes gazing into a vista of the un-
known. j *
Sleeping in the heart of theae moun-
tains are Tutankhamun and his royal
kinsfolk. Some of the tomba go down
150 feet and extend back a distance of
three city blocks. The ancients be-
lieved these were the portals to heav-
en and everlasting llftr. American
visitors to the chasms of death'get a
fleeting sense of eternity and Immor-
tality as they enter the innermost re-
cess of the tombs and look upon the
