She was placed aboard the train and

point she was conveyed in the police am
bulapce TO the Twin City hospital

only possible way TO save the live OF the
woman was to amputate an arm and a
leg. The former was taken off close TO the

IL was found that there was a terrible In

Not willingly" he said. Heaven

Hand Organ Trust Hounds Him.

A fierce struggle for supremacy in
the hand organ music world is being
waged on the South side between the
barrel organ trust" and II Anton
Rocco, an Independent producer, who
has entered the field with an improved
music-making device. says the Chicago
Daily News.
Everywhere that Rocco goes the
trust is sure to go" is the slogan of
the trust, and when Rocco backs his
harmony machine against the curb and
begins to reel off a yard or so of The
Maiden's Prayer a trust machine is
quickly wheeled into position along
side and lets fire a volley of "Alexan-
der" AS usual in these fights of com.
bines, the complair, the
public is the victim.
The scene of operations is between
Thirty-first and SiXty-third streets
and Cottage Grove avenue and Hal
sted street. Heretofore all barrel or
gans used in this district were rented
to individuals by the trust, which asks
a ubliS lCCs pul dllo"o thC SAIltolNC
privilege of the territory to go with
the machine. All went well until word
was brought to headquarters that
there was a competitor in the field
who gravely threatened the industry.
Not only does Rocco's machine pro
duce the familiar strains, but in the
popular songs the bars of the chorus
are punctured by a bass drum and
cymbals.
The mandate went out from the
trust that Rocco must be made to
leave the territory and he was told in
no simple terms to "skiddoo-a," but
he only smiled. Later, he says, threats
were made, but he continued to make
his rounds, followed by throngs of chill.
dren. AS a last resort the idea of
sending another organ was formed.
His footsteps have been logged, he de-
clares, by trust %hirelings, and when he
makes a stop another organ is placed
as near as possible to his machine to
confuse his music.

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-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 a 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
