Babies wear clothes The chief object
aimed at in dressing a baby is to lose the
baby among the clothes. If you have
foot and a half or two feet of baby, yoI
will require from 40 to 80 yards of clothes
to dress it properly. The reason for this
is that every baby is the best baby thai

vinegar did not dawn upon him, and he
was naturally solicitous about the reputa-

THE CAUSE OF LA GRIPPE.
Now Admitted 10 be From Deranged
Digestion.

Careful observation in many cases of
La Grippe extending over several years
have gradually developed the fact that it
is very generally caused from dietetic
errors.
In other words, during the prevalence
of La Grippe, persons who suffer from
Indigestion or stomach troubles are al
most invariably victims of the epidemic
This can be readily understood when
you remember that the germs of any dis
ease cannot gain foothold in the system
of man or woman who is blessed with
perfect digestion, because perfect diges-
ton means perfect health, and such per-
sons can bid defiance to La Grippe or to
any other prevailing epidemic
For this reason physicians have re-
Gently introduced into their practice the
new preparation known as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets as an almost certain pre-
tentative of La Grippe, as this remedy
by giving perfect digestion aud assimils-
ton of the food so fortifies the system
against disease that all danger from this
epidemic is reduced to minimum
So popular have Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets become that it is claimed within
one month after being made known to
the public one hundred and ninety three
druggists in Detroit, Mich, alone were
selling it and today they pronounce it
the most satisfactory remedy they are
selling for all forms of stomach derauge-
ment.
The price at druggists is but 80 cents
for full sized package
1t is not a cure-all, but is recommended
as a cure for Dyspepsia and stomach
troubles only.

LET THE MAN ESCAPE"


Jailed But Man Gets Away.
The police under direction of Chief
Gardiner made raid last night on the
rooming house kept by Mary Herman, at
421 East Fourth street. The raid was
made Just after ten o'clock and the in
mates had retired.
Mrs. Herman asked permission to go
into side room to dress, and while
the police were waiting for her
to come out her mother who lives near en-
tered the house to ascertain the trouble.
She inquired where her daughter was
and Chief Gardiner informed her that
she was dressing. Mrs. Herman went
into the room and returned in few mo-
ments with the information that her
daughter was not there.
The police somewhat mystified entered
the room but their prisoner was gone.
They searched every corner where it
would have been possible for any one to
hide. Then Chief Gardiner looked out
of the window. He saw what he sup
posed was a bundle Of clothing on
the little porch. When he opened
ment, the portly form of his prisoner in
her night clothes stretched upon the
roof. The roof was small and the woman
effectually covered it as she weighs $50
pounds. She was induced to go to her
room and don her clothes before going
to the ponce station.
Retta Mahaffy was also found in the
house with an unknown man. The two
women and man started toward the po-
lice station but when the party reached
Fifth and Kansas avenues the man re
quested that he be allowed to 60 down
Fifth street to find some one to
become his bondsman Sergeant
Donovan accompanied him. The
stranger led the officer about a block
when he suddenly started TO run. He
proved himselfa better sprinter than the
policeman and after Sergeant Donovan
had chased him about two blocks he gave
up the chase. The stranger has not
been found. (This is the story Donovan
tells.)
The Herman woman will be tried in
police court this afternoon but the Ma
haffy woman pleaded guilty to being
an inmate of disorderly house and was
fined $50 this morning.
Now the interesting question is who
was the inf uential stranger" who was
such good "sprinter" that he got away,
even with policeman at his shoulder.
How much money was there up on this
"sprinting contest?" Was the 'sirang-
err a rich man, a poor man, a "beggar
man or thief" or was he somebody that
the officer in charge knew very we'll in
deed? The police commissioners might
ask few questions about it next Satur-
day night merely as a matter of curio-
sifY,

ABOUT THE NEVELS JURY.
Interesting Facts AbOuI Its DeIibera-
tiOns Come Out.

tiOns Come Out.
In getting ready to present Novels
motion for new trial Lawyer D. c. Til
lotson subpRn81 seven of the jury who
tried the case to come to his office. He
wanted them to make afidavits telling
what their deliberations in the jury room
were.
Five of those subp9n@d came and told
Mr. Tillotson all about their delibera-
tiOns. They told that when the jury went
out eight of them stood for conviction
and four for acquittal on the first ballot.
On the second ballot the score was nine
for conviction sud three for acq initial.
About fifteen ballots were then taken
berore conviction was determined upon.
Then when that was settled eleven of
them voted for murder 10 the first degree
and one for the second. In about fifteen
minutes they had all agreed, and re-
turned their verdict.
It seems that there was nothing in
this that Mr.. Tillotson wanted, for he did
not take their affidavit5.
