GIRL GOES NUDE
 ' ID CURE HERSELF
INDIANA MAID WARDS OFF CON-
 SUMPTION IN WOODS.
NATURE RESTORES HEALTH
Polls Dread Disease by Sleeping in the Fresh Earth in Colorado Woods and Is Now on the Road
 to Recovery.

Indianapolis, Ind.-By sleeping naked in the woods, her body covered with loose earth, and nothing overhead but the canopy of the starry heavens, Miss Charlotte Dunnington, of Waterford, Ind, is making desperate effort to ward of that much-dreaded disease, con- sumption, which for the last year and more has threatened to cut down her young life when she was just entering the full bloom of young womanhood.
 It is a slight and frail, yet a pretty and attractive young woman who is talk ing this Hellenic road toward health and strength by putting nudity to test as the cure for consumption. 1
 And for all the summer months Just past, since early spring, this fraiI girl has pursued this strange cure.
 For more than year previous to the early spring, Miss Dunnington's pa rents and her physician have hoped against hope that the dreadful tubercu- losis of the lungs, with which she was at tackled, would not develop into that great white plague, consumption.
 But they hoped in vain.
 And then from her physician came the old cry: Either death or the vest
 The physician then advised that she go to Colorado, where she had an uncle liv- ing, and take the new cure for consump- tion-the mature cure"-the idea of which is to get right down to old mother earth and let the everlasting hills ao- sorb into their strength all of the tuber- cuIosis germs that infest the human sys- tenn.
 Miss Dunnington, following the advice of her physician and followed by the fervent prayers of her parents for her recovery, went to the little town of Grenada, Col, near which her uncle lived. .
 She was accompanied only by her faithful St Bernard dog, which kept her constant company, watched over her during her sleep and warned her when anyone happened to be approaching.
 Since early in May Miss Dunnington has thus slept naked in the woods, like a modern Diana, with her body covered only with loose earth, which sine gently

AMERICAN PLpeIN ENGLISH.
Kind of Talk That May Become Gen. eral When Commerce Ex-
 tends to China.

Since the Japanese have begun to take such an active part in the affairs of na- tions the attention of Americans has been drawn closer than ever before to the orient, says the Brooklyn Eagle In the event that Japan succeeds in keep in Russia out of Manchuria the long, taIked-of 'open door, in China will be- came reality. At first glance it would seem that the EngIish-speaking mer- chants would be handicapped in their trade with China on account of the many dialects that are spoken in that country. But these dificulties have been removed long ago, for fourishing trade has been carried on with the Flow cry Kingdom by the English people for many years. Tn order to make them selves understood the English mer- chants have adopted a iargon known as pidgin English, which is readily under stood by all Chinamen who have occa- sion to do business with the Britishers or Americans.
 Pidgin English means s'businesa'' English, and 1t is used in all of the sea- port towns of China. It is a queer sort of a jargon, with no attempt at gram mar, infection or conjunction, but is Iit- orally word -for-word translation. All that is necessary for Chinaman to doin order to converse by means of 1t iB to acquire few hundred words, with tho grammar modified to suit his own lan- guage. In good many respects it coz responds with the "posh an posh of the Romany dialect used by English gypsies, in which Hindu Persian words are strangely intermingled with Eng fish constructions. Pidgin English ia easily picked up by the Chinese and English-speaking merchants, ana ia rapidly extending to the interior Of India, so that in part it answers tho same purposes that were intended for volapuk. the universal language that was proposed some years ago

4 TRADE IN SAMOA
SIMPLE MERCHANDISING METH-
 ops OF THE NATIVES.
They Show a Genuine Yankee Bar- gain Spirit in Disposing of Their Bits of Merchandise-What
 They Sell.

Apia, Samoa.-Although the Yankee lays claim to the major share of the bargain spirit, there seems to be no place in all the wide world where 1t is entirely lacking.
 It is amusing to watch a transac- ton between two of the unspoiled children of nature as you find them on the Pacific isles. Perhaps cer- tain family will wish some of the fish caught by a neighbor. The head of the house, having little or noth- ing to do, is sent to make the bar gain. He takes a collection of arti- cles of more or less value, as purchas- ing agent.
 The family owning, the fish sit or lie about the house intent upon noth-

EMBROIDERED BUTTONS.
These Are Quite a Feature in the Trim ming of Hats of Latest
 Design.

Hats are trimmed with buttons quite a little. There are big button molds cov- cred with plaid silk and embroidered and these arc used in various ways to trim the fall and winter hats, says thu Brooklyn Eagle. One hat had a crush of silk around the crown, and this was caught down here and there with big round, silk-covered buttons.
 The embroidered button decorates not only the hat, but, the entire costume, and, while embroidering, the girl of in- dustrious tendencies might as we'll em- broider q sufficient number to go around.
 In the button supply the girl of fashion will need six for the front of her Louis XIV. coat. She will need four large but tons for the back of her coat, and she will require half dozen the size of 8 dime for her stock. These, with supply for the cuffs and the hat, should about afford sufficient number for the trim ming of modish fall costume.
 The button question continues to be an interesting one, particularly as ap- piled to sleeves. One of the pretty sleeves of the week is buttoned all the way down the back. A frill of lace falls down the outside, setting off the buttons handsomely. The frill reaches from the shoulder to the waist, for the entire back of the sleeve is slit open, filled in with lace and buttoned up again with little brass buttons.
 Another gown, this one made of dark green louisine, has a sleeve that is wrinkled to the elbow. It is slit and the slit is finished with a row of bullet but tons and a lace frill.

Bran Instead of Soap.

There are people who cannot use any soap at all on the face without finding that it makes the skin red and irritable. If even castillo is found tc have this troublesome effect it is best to abandon the use of soap altogether and use bran in bathing the face. Don't use hot water Add to the cold water in which the face is bathed a few drops of simple tincture of ben xoin. At night anoint 1t with a good soothing lotion and use talcum pow der to your hearts content. It is used on the most delicate infants skins without injury.-N. Y. Post.

wild Horse Capturing.

The work of capturing wild horses in the vicinity of Fox mountain and Madeline plains has begun, and several animals have been taken This coun- try is practically wild, unbroken stretch of mountains in western Ne vada and eastern California that is too rough for any purpose except grazing, and over which several thousand head of wild horses roam. The captured animals are invariably small, but well proportioned, and prove to be hardy, serviceable and obedient after being broken.-Sacramento Bee./

DANGEROUS AS DYNAMITE

A Red Oak health officer calls the
attention of the state board of health
to a matter OF serious interest to the
public and to every Iowa merchant who
handles stove supplies. The case re-
ferred to by the Red Oak officer Is one
where a housewife of that city was
seriously burned by the ignition OF her
clothing thru the explosion OF a gaso-
line preparation for polishing stoves.
The preparation is sold in cartons
with nothing on the label to indicate
Its highly dangerous nature Of the
compound. It ignfted when applied 10
the stove and exploded the contents
OF the bottle. The woman may die.
There have been dozens Of similar
cases over the state but no prosecution
that may be readily called to mind
has followed any of them. There is
q severe penalty against selling gaso-
line in this state, except when properly
labeled. This law needs better EN-
forcement. The factory that sends out
dangerous explosives for common use
without any intimation of their char
acter and the merchant who knowingly
distributes them are equally guilty and
both should feel the hand Of the law.
Without doubt an action for damages
would succeed against both the man
ufacturer and retailer.
The board of health is to take up
the Red Oak case, analyze the COM
pound and there is likely to be trouble
over that particular kind of stove poll
ish. Retail merchants should in their
own protection and in protection OF
their customers rid themselves of
gasoline polishes. or insist the labels
show plainly their dangerous nature.
Those who fail to do SO should be held
criminally responsible in case Of an
accident

CROWD TOM DENNisoN.

The failure of the first attempt to
bring Tom Dennison to Iowa for trial
was not unexpected. The presupposi-
ton was that Dennison would find q
court ready to stay proceedings. The
man whose baleful influence dominated
city like Omaha and spread its evil
ramifications from Denver to the Mis-
sissippi thru the venal of all classes
would scarcely fail to have cultivated
friends at court. IT reports are to be
credited. Dennison has been a political

making, q sultan of the police force and
criminal courts thru the kingship of the
criminal vote That he controlled at
least 400 voters Judge Hubbard's state
rnent of Dave MERGERS difficulties has
given practical assurance. Mr.. Denni-
sons own notebook shows that he and
his assisted in the making of at least
one United States senator. Dennison
was political power He owned an
army of voters. whose franchises he
traded for the protection or relief Of
criminals. That is part of Mr.. Den
nison's own record Such man would
be likely to own judge or SO as an
anchor to windward in case of a possi-
BILE storm. There is likely to be a big
legal fight before Dennison is extra
dited.
Dennison must be brought to trial If
the law can accomplish 1t. There is
more in his case than the single crime
for which he stands indicted by the
grand jury OF Harrison county. He has
made crime great. He represents that
most dangerous enemy to law and Or
