DALE MATHEWS in COURT
GIRLS FORMER GOOD MORAL CHAR
ACTER is PROVEN.
Judge Anderson VIII Give His Deci-
sion I'm the Case To-MorrOw-Fed-
eraI Court News.

Dale Mathews, the Angola girl who was
arrested in Marion for raising 81 bills to
tens and who was indicted by the federal
grand jury last week, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Anderson, of the Federal Court,
yesterday afternoon. Although the girl
pleaded guilty to the charge, a tenacious
effort was made by her counsel and friends
to have her sentence suspended on the
ground that 1T was her first offense and
that her former life had been upright.
Sympathy entered into the proceedings to
great extent and before Judge Anderson
announced his decision almost everyone in
the courtroom had said something in be-
half of the girl.
Judge Anderson was not inclined to
suspend sentence, declaring that he would
be acting without the limits of the statutes
To this. counsel pointed to the case of Van
buskirk, of Evansville, on whom sentence
was suspended some time ago on the same
grounds. Judge Anderson said that he
would take the case under advisement and
ordered the girl to appear before him again
Saturday morning. He said no encourage
ment could be taken from his action and
that it would be unnecessary for her coun-
sci or friends TO appear with her on Satur-
day.
Clyde Carlin was counsel for the girl and
introduced as witnesses to testify to the
girls former good character a number of
her relatives and citizens of Angola and
the superintendent OF schools at Angola.
The latter testified that the girl had been
a teacher in the schools there for three
years, during which time she bore un-
blemished character. 1t appears that the
girl has not had much worldly experience
having only been outside of Steuben county
once. Her counsel said that he believed II
the girl were given the opportunity she
would henceforth lead correct life.
George Marvin, the man who broke into
the postoffice at Michigantown last April
and on leaving accidentally blew himself
up with dynamite, was also arraigned be-
fore Judge Anderson yesterday evening,
He entered a plea of guilty and was fined
$40 and costs and sentenced to three years

CAUSES OF HAY FEVER.
HyOmi the Only Cure-Gives Change
of Climate in Your Own Home.

Fifty years ago. hay fever had not
been named, but undoubtedly people
suffered then as they do now with
storms of sneezing. profuse watering of
the eyes, excessive running at the nose,
intense smarting and itching and stuff
ed up feeling in the head.
The direct causes appear to be heat,
dust and the pollen of flowers. AL
though hay fever may occur at any sea-
son of the year. it is most common and
severe in August. and preventive treat
ment should be adopted some weeks
before the time the disease is due

any one to breathe air at home which
is like that of the Adirondacks, the
White Mountains or other health resorts
where healing balsams fill the air with
natures germ destroyer, ozone.
Those who are subject to hay fever
should begin the use of Hyomef at once
and thus prevent the disease An ounce
Of prevention is worth more than a
