WHISPERS DISEASE BREEDERS
Municipal Employees Beard Pivot of
an Iowa Campaign-Owner
Declares He'll Keep 1t
Special to The Herald,

Speclal 10 Inc Herald,
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, March ia
municipal campaign. already hot. is
given variations by "whiskers issue"
Health officer Fred Lerch wears a
thick mat of beard and fellow officers
and others who come in contact with
Lerch insist that he get a shave. His
duties touching quarantines, take him
continually where dealy disease pre-
walls, and there is fear that this luxuri-
ant facial adornment affords a too at
tractive nest for the insidious microbe.
City Physician Ross is an extremist
in the matter of excluding the posi-
bility of infection, two ordinances, the
anti-spitting and the sidewalk fruit
stands or peddlers' carts measures, be-
ing the result of his activity along this
line.
Lerch says he will not have his
whiskers sacrificed to the whim of a
lot of silly people. He declares he dis
infects them in season and out and
that the idea of a microbe finding a
harbor there is preposterous. He is an
appointive Office and he wants the place
again. Nominally he is Il Democrat,
but he will doubtless affiliate with the
side in the present fight who will
promise him his place again and the
retention of his beloved beard.

STRANGE FACTS

lets. to be taken a few times a day,
may lie such wOndrous potential DOS
sibilities. that by their use the course
of a mans whole lfe-yes, of the world
may be changed!
Yet, who would not appreciate the
fact that If Napoleon had not been suf-
fering from cancer of the stomach he
would have won instead of lost-at
Waterloo?
And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
would have cured his stomach trouble
had they then been invented, as they
have cured thousands of others in the
past ten years, who have suffered just
as Napoleon did
So you can readily appreciate that
today, by curing all these people,
Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets is helping
to get the worlds work done, by people
WIN WOuiu uO WOISS WOTh Lney, were
sick, so they must be having a great
influence, in quiet way, on the worlds S
progress.
They may, therefore, be classed as
one Of the triumphs of science. among
other discoveries in medicine, me-
chanics, transportation, etc.
Let this, then, remain in your mem
ory, a fact upon which to act when
occasion requires:
When any organ in your vast di-
gestive machinery gets out of order,
you have at your command one of the

less friction, add to the energy and
working possibilities of your bodily
machine, and relieve yourself from suf-
fering, disease, weakness, premature
old age and death.
All this is strictly in accordance with
the most modern teachings of the best
scientific schools of health, hygiene and
medicine, and it will be to your ad-
vantage to lay these facts to heart.

JUDGES PUZZLED BY TWINS
Birth of Boy and Girl Make Carrying
Out of Provisions of Fathers
Will Hard Problem
Special to The Herald.


CHICAGO, March 17.--Chicago law
yers and judges have spent consider
able time during the last few days in
the discussion of a peculiar legal prob
lem which arose recently in Denver.
A resident of that city made a will
which provided that in the event of
the birth of a son by his wife the son
should receive two-thirds of his estate
and the child's mother the other third /;
but If the baby were Il girl then the
mother was to have two-thirds of the
estate and the daughter the other
third.
The father died, and soon afterwards
tWins-a boy and a girl-were born.
Therein devolved the legal problem.
The case was discussed by Judge Cut
ting and Judge Kohlsaat and by var
ious men of the legal profession in
Chicago.
"It is probable that the fathers will
was made with no idea of the possibil-
ity Of such a contingency arising" said
Judge Cutting. "The document no
doubt will be thrown a~ide and the es-
tate will be divided according to law.
The mother and each of the children
will get a third of the property. The
case is a strange one. 1 never heard
of a similar one"

EGGS SEAL A,HoBo'S KISSES
They Are Ancient Goose Fruit and

parently it takes the proper planting
of a goose egg or two to stir the elo-
quence of tramp to it's deepest
depths.
"Them lips is mine, fer jist one
kiss!" exclaimed a hobo. as he
emerged from his hiding place near
Indianland this morning and plump
Miss Martha Trump passed by.
On Miss Trump's arm hung bas-
ket of eggs, and none but she knew
that some of them We're over ripe
goose eggs, to be utilized as nest eggs.
So there were two kisses waiting for
the tramp-one on the lips and one
just behind the ear, as he turned to
run away in his dismay-and an an
cient goose egg imprinted each, for
Miss Trump hits what she aims at.

PILES
Cured After so Years. We Can Cure
Piles and Prove 1t.
Sample Package Free by Mail, So That You
Can Prove II on Yourself. No Surgery.

Piles (or hemorrhoids) rarely kill,
but they cause more exquisite agony
in a few minutes than much more
serious troubles. This is especially
true in the case of those who are ever
so slightly constipated. 1t means the
certain renewal of the agony every
morning. 1t is inevitable and unavoid-
able.
Piles can now be quickly and per-
fectly cured, without pain, cutting or.
detention from business or occupation.
1t has already been demonstrated in
thousands of cases, in both sexes, at
all ages and in the very worst as welt
as the ordinary ones.
We propose to let you try it your
self. You have probably been bitterly
disappointed by many so-ctlled Pile
Cures
This is why we want you to try
our remedy before you pay a penny
for it. Then you will know certainly
and absolutely. whether it will do
for you what it has done for so many
others. 1t is for sale in every drug
store because people must have it.
No one who has not suffered the tor
ments of itching, painful or bleeding
piles can appreciate, for one moment,
the marvellous sense of relief that fol-
lows the use of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
You can go to the toilet without dread
or fear, you can cure yourself at home
without the slightest trouble, incon-
venience or difficulty.
Follow a few easy and simple direc-
tions and get well and stay well.
Go to your druggist at once and buy
a box of Pyramid Pile Cure for 90
cents.
Here, for instance. is a sample of
the kind of letters we get every day
and we don't have to ask for them:
Friend, I write to tell what good
your Pyramid Pile Cure has done for
me. I used your sample, and it did
me so much good 1 went and got two
boxes, and I used one and am an
other man altogether. I have no pain,
no piles, and have been troubled with
them for over 80 years, and could
find no relief till now, thanks TO your
timely cure. Use my name if it will
do you any good. Isaac Smith, Whar-

Stensland was obstinate and de-
clared we could not take him and that
he would not go voluntarily.
AS matter Of fact, we had no legal
right to stop Stensland. Technically
we were guilty of kidnapping, and the
situation began to look serious. The
American minister could not order
Stensland 'sarrest until he had received
instructions from Washington. These
had been cabled for the night before,
but had not arrived. If Stensland had
only known this he could have walked

could not have escaped ultimately, but
he could have caused us lots of trouble

my Indebtedness began long
