Chicago Papers Fighting the

THE VICTIMS OF DECEPTION.
A Community That is in Need

The Final Resort of Despera-

Three of the great Chicago papers
which became the victims Of mis-
placed confidence yesterday in pub.
fishing the Information manufac-
tured and sent out from Fulton rela-
tive to Judge Bigelow's disposition
of the inlunctions before him, gave
the correct stains Of the cases this
morning. The incident demon
strstes that Fulton needs watching
in all matters pertaining to the
Woodmen. The statements pub
lished in the Chicago papers were
the part Of deliberate plan to take
advantage Of the papers which were
at q distance and to create an erro-
neous impression before the correct
news could be known and thus
seek to profit by the effect
upon thousands of Woodmen all
over the country, who are Gag
erly seeking and waiting for the
courts action on the pending cases.
The Fulton people know that with
the unfit and unsafe accommod ations
for the records in that city, the
longer they are kept there, the
greater injury will be worked to the
order, as throughout the country

When seen he said he was positive
the body found in the we'll in Way

to that effect through sympathy. He
acknowledged that none Of the par

following the case closely.
Being guided by past experiences,
he arrived at the conclusion that the

Death of an Old-time So. Londonderry
Resident,

Rtsiut".
The news Of the death of j. L.
Pierce, which occurred on the 9th at
his home in Fitchburg, Mass was
received here with regret by all whose
recollections extend over the last
forty or fifty years. Mr.. Pierce was
a native of Chesterfield, N. H., but
came to So. Londonderry in early
life and for thirty-five or forty years
was eng ged in merchandising. He
was successful business man and
accumulated handsome property.
Some twenty years ago or more he
sold his mercantile business and in a
few years thereafter sold his real es-
tate aud went to Chester where he es.
tablished drug store. Here he re-
mained for few years when he went
to Fltchburg, leaving the drug store
in the hands of his son, Fred w.,
who still retains the business.
The deceased leaves, beside the
widow, who was Miss Ellen Marsh of
Chesterfield, sister of F. w. Marsh
of Chester, an only sou, prominent
business man of Chester, and an un-
married daughter. The remains were
inferred at Chesterfield.

DONT'S FOR SLIM WOMEN.

Don't walk to excess; a short walk
will be beneficial, but long walks are
fesh-reducing.
Don't wear black; black has ten
dency to make anyone look slender.
Light clothes are the most becoming.
Don't have your lingerie too close fit
ting; have your underskirts gathered
around the hips and a full front in your
Slderwaist is good.
Don't strive for long-waisted effects
or use pointed girdles; the longer you
make yourself look the thinner you will
appear.
Don't stay up too late at night; get
at least nine hours good sleep. A
woman needs more sleep than man,
and nothing keeps her in good condition
like lots Of sleep.
Don't wear stripes; checks plaids and
horizontal effects are better for thin
women. They should strive for be-
coming, deceiving effects If they study
art in dressing at all.
Don't forget that a well-rounded fig
ure makes you look younger and is con-
sidered mark of beauty. The starchy
foods, massage, moderate exercise, rest
and sleep will produce this.
Don't wear large, broad-sided hat
it looks out Of proportion, especially as
the face of a slender girl is usually small.
A moderate-sized or small hat will be
found much better.
Don't fail to have your gowns made
with an eye to hiding the fact that you
are too slender. Full waists, fancy
fronts and bouffant effects are best,
while draped skirts or very full ones
wall detract from your slender appear

DeRth of Horace Gale.

Our neighboring town of Winhall
loses one among its oldest and most
esteemed citizens in the death of
Horace Gale, which occurred at 8 80
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Gale was a
native of Warwick, Mass, and born
Jan. Sth 1907. When about 23 he
married Lucinda Conant, who sur
wives him and who also is in her 91st
year. About the same time he came
to Winhall together with his brother,
Levi, who died 81 years ago, the two
settling in the part Of the town that
was then a wilderness The two
brothers lived together fol awhile and
then Horace bought the place where
he has since lived and where he died.
Here by economy and intelligent in
dustry he obtained a competence
which enabled him to leave his aged
consort in most comfortable circum-
stances.
Horace Gale was one of natures
noblemen. His word was as good
as any mans bond. He never told
man or woman anything that he did
not believe was true. His integrity
was known by all and won for him
an esteem accorded to but few.
Peace to his memory.
He leaves, beside the widow, but
one child, a daughter, the wife of
David Gale, who with her husband
has lived with him for many years.
