AS A NAIL DRIVER
BY Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 14.-Henry Oes-
field, an actor, connected with a Ger
man stock company, was badly in
jured by the explosion of a one-pound
Hatc,-Isiss rapid-fire gun shell in his
room at 1926 Bremen street.
Oesfeld had the shell as a souvenir
of the Spanish h-American war and car
ried it in his baggage.
Wishing to drive some nails in his
room he picked up the she'll as the
heaviest article at hand. The shell was
so constructed as to explode when
sharp contact was made with a fulmin-
ating cap attached to the nose Of the
ball.
At the second blow Oesfeld struck the
cap on the nail. Oesfeld was rendered
unconscious and sustained numerous
cuts and bruises on his body and head.
His right arm was later amputated at
the elbow and he will probably lose
his left eye.

BUGGY AND CAR
COLLIDE IN FOG
OCCUPANTS OF CARRIAGE ARE
INJURED
Thrown Twenty-Five Feet, One sus-

the other Serious
Bruises

Running at full speed through a fog
so dense as to render It impossible
for the motorman to discern objects
fifteen feet in advance, a Los Angeles
Pacific car of the main Santa Monica
line struck Nuggy In which were
James II. Whitworth, a rancher, and
Edward Lloyd of Inglewood, one-half
mile east of the power house at the
Junction Of the Santa Monica and Re-
dondo lines at o'clock last night.
The buggy was utterly demolished
and the occupants were hurled twenty
five feet. Whitworth sustained bad
bruises upon his body and his right
leg was broken. Two ribs In the mid
die section on the right side were also
broken. Lloyd was less seriously hurt
than his companion, although his
injuries were severe and painful.
The r:en had spent the afternoon
at Redondo and were returning to
half a mile outside the city limits Of
Los Angeles.
Fog Very Dense
Lloyd, who is employed by Whit
worth as q teamster and ranch hand
was driving when the accident oc-
Cured. He said last evening that the
fog was so dense that they could hard
ly keep the road.
The road upon which they were is
said t. be well Travelled highway. but
the car which ran them down, ac-
cording to the men, gave no signal of
approach. The number of the car
which struck the buggy uld not be
learned as the motorman after the ac-
cident did not stop nor sacken speed.
According to the meno .lcwever, 1t
was an outbound car OF the Santa
Monica line. They left the horse
which they we're driving to make its
way home as best it could and took the
next car to the city where they were
treated at the receiving hospital. Both
men remained at the hospital all last
night, their injuries making it prac-
tically impossible for them to be re-
moved. The Los-Angeles Pacific COM
pany was asked in regard to the acci-
dent, but the officials Of whom the In
quiry was made asserted that there
had been no report of any collision.

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over cr-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without

Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the

Keeping Parents In Subiection,

In the life of the very rich some
parents still seek to resemble those
curfews incarnate in humble life who
keep the girls at home and the boys
out OF the barrooms. Middle life and
old age are too hidebound to get ac-
customed to the manners of the new
generation of young men who are old
and worn before they graduate and OF
young women who win or lose large
sums at gambling. Children have q
right to expect from their parents do
cile obedience. At first this may be
difficult, but, as Aristotle says, "Vir-
tue is habit" and it can be acquired.
