BoWEN's CLEVER PLAN.
County Treasurer Uses Graphophone
in Lieu of Speechmaking.

It is rumored that County Treasurer
Bowen has solved the difficulty ex-
perienced by candidates who are not
spellbinders and speakers. Bowen has
bought a large graphophone.
The local committee is demanding
that candidates on the county ticket
appear at the meeting and entertain
the crowd. Bowen is not a speaker.
To keep up his end of it he must do
something and as he has bought the
talking machine it is understood that
he will talk into the machine, in the
privacy of his office, where he will not
have stage fright and then he can
send the machine around to the cam
paign meetings, have it wound up and
set going and the audience will hear
from him.

WOMAN IN A WE'LL.
Mary A. SIxidmore of Osawkie Meets
Tragic Death.

Mary A. Skidmore, a widow living
with her son-in-law, John Zorb, 2 "
miles southwest of Osawkie, left her
bed at midnight last night and jumped
into a 5O-foot we'll. 1t is not known
whether her act was done while she
was asleep, whether it was an accident,
or whether the purpose was suicide.
1t is supposed, however, that the wo-
man intended to kill herself. Her
body was found in the well some time
after she jumped in, and an inquest
will probably be held today
Mrs. Skidmore was So years of age,
and had seemed to be in good spirits
up to the time of her death.
Osawkie is in Jefferson county about
90 miles northeast of Topeka.

TO THE ROOTS
Food the Cause and Another Food the
Cure of Stomach Ais.

When sickness comes it's best to go
to the root of the trouble at once-take
away the kind of food used when the
person got i'll for the food evidently
patient on Grape-Nuts. That is the way
of the food cure which has so many
remarkable cases to it's credit
Several years ago my husband be-
came affected by most disagreeable
and painful diarrhea, lost his appetite
and grew shockingly thin and haggard-
I persuaded him finally to see a physi-
clan but after taking a course or med1-
cine he was worse than ever and this
discouraged him so he tried a lot of
homemade remedies but they gave
him only temporary relief.
ssFinally 1 persuaded him to try an
other physician who treated him for
indigestion which he said was the cause
months treatment the physician said:
You have let it run so long it has be-
come chronic and exceedingly difficult
to cure and you will always be trou-
bled more or less.
well you can imagine how this
made him feel.
Sometime after that some friends
advised Grape-Nuts food and he
thought he would just give it a short
trial To our surprise he began to i'm
prove at once. He kept on each day
getting better and better until now he
can eat anything he likes and declares
he never felt so well in his life, has alb
solutely no trouble with his stomach
or bowels and is f1eshier than he has
been for years. Three cheers for
Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum
Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Sounds too easy almost to be true
but 10 days trial by anyone will prove
the value of Grape-Nuts, the most sci
entific food in the world.

N I lad waited twenty wears ahon

IF I had waited twenty years about
getting myself born, I'd have saved
myself ihnumerable heartaches," said
a Georgetown woman. My hair, as
you see, is a warm Titan shade. When
1 was child it was plain red, and I
was commonly called 'brick-top' and
carrots What misery L endured on
account of that flaming hair of minei
| washed it in sage tea, 1 soaked it
In iron rust water, and 1 shed tears
enough because of its color to float a
oattleShip- l used to long for some
lining TO brighten me enough to turn
IL white. My only grain of comfort
was the hope that it would darken
as grew older. Nobody considered
red hair anything but a horror in
those days. It's so different now. I
didn't realize how different till / took
my little niece down town the other
day TO buy her a doll. She passed
rows of black and blonde-haired dolls
d1sdalnfully- At length we came to
a case full of dolls whose hair was
exactly the shade mine used to be.
oh, L want one of those!' said
she Look at their lovely, lovely red
HART
The toy man who showed red
haired dolls in my day would have
oeen considered mad. but now they
tell me the red-haired doll is the most
popular novelty of the season. What
that means as to the attitude of mod
ern children toward red hair. only
one VINO was a red-haired child twenty
years ago can tell. It was thoughtless
OF me to be born SO soon.''

PENN. TAKES WELL EARNED REST

By TELEGRAPH TO THE TRTsUNE.1
Philadelphia Nov. s.-Pennsylvania's football
players are enjoying well earned rest The men
will not put on suits until Wednesday, when they
will begin sharp three days preparation for the
Indian game. Good men, that is the keynote
Of the Pennsylvania system from now on. Already
1t is considered that the crisis of the past
and the eyes of all fixed on the prospects for
next year. Those substitutes who have been
used, and against whose must be chalked
up year Of the four allotted them as college
players, are getting all the experience possible.
Among them are Rock and Williams whom Penn
sylvania must next fall beat into couple of tackles
Folwell at fuIlback and Sheble as half OF this
years team Pennsylvania will lose by football
graduation Piekarksk and Buckiewicz from the
line, and Smith and Reynolds from the back field.
Despite the success Of the team in the Harvard
game, there is a feeling among the undergraduates
that Weede. the speedy end, has not been treated
fairly. Sinkler, the of a physician connected
with the university has been playing the position
and there is To doubt that he is the weakest spot
on the Pennsylvania line. Backed by Green at
halfback and supported by Lamson tackle his
poor play has not been Overcostly. on SATURDAY.

game on October g. Weede into the sec

fully justified By the playing OF the sighted end.
