the form fitting style of dress she af-

clan asserts that women are running
their health in trying to acquire the
straight lines now decreed to be the

puts it:
Some women are drinking vinegar

destroy the Innings of their stomachs

Others have been taking preparations

preparations do what its claims for

Vinegar drinkers, hopeless dyspep-

poor misshapen thing scarcely resen
bling little girl A bonnie head with
long ringlets an dsilken tresses lay
helplessly upan her shoulder; her little
back was crooked and curved. This
poor warped body was an odd place
in which to find soul Of exceptional
purity and love.
1t was this soul which first impress

found Its way into the big hospital on
the hill and has since permeated
throughout Its great halls and wards,
lending good cheer and hope to many
a weary invalid.
Now little Gladys Alma can walk
about the corridors.
Gladys has not knawn a father or
mother since she was mere babe. She
made her home with Des Moines
family which has recently removed to
Michigan, turning her over to the care
of Miss Pearson, superintendent of
the Methodist hospital.
There was no one to pay for the
identifying Of this little human form.
1t was a work Of pity and love partici-
pated in by every nurse, physician and
attendant in the hospital. The only
pay received has ben in love and good
cheer, but all will testify that the re-

FISH AND HARTMAN.

The public is getting rather tired Of
the Fish-Harriman controversy One
day Fish is out WITH statement
charging Hartman and Harahan with
all the crimes in the calendar, and the
next day Fish is charged with dipping
into funds of a railroad company to
float private enterprises. The only
enlivening incident in the entire affair
was the one round go between Fish
and Haranan in which the combatants
used bare fists as argument clinchers.
This incident furnished Chicago
cartoonist with an idea for a cartoon
which he shows Fish and Hartman in
fighting costumes and poses, and
which is accompanied by statements
from Fitzsimmons and Jefferies as to
the relative strength and science of the
adversaries. Messrs Fish and Harri-
man might well settle their scrap in
Quesnsbury style and have done with
all this war on paper.

TROUBLE CAUSED BY HAzINa.
Dubuquo School Board Orders an In.
vestiqation-High School Frater.
mites Under the Microacons

Dubuque, Sept. 2S.-The Dubuque
school board has taken cognizance Of
the operations of fraternities and has
instructed City Superintendent Oldt to
investigate the matter and report at
the next board meeting.
This recent activity was brought
about by the publication Of the story
regarding the haz!ng operations In
which Clifford Dennis. a high school
lad, and whose initiation was In pro-
gress was placed in a coffin and COM
PEELED to lie therein. the lid being Sc
curely screwed down. for ten hours.
The members of the fraternity de-
MED the statements. but the evidenc
is conclusive and the facts have stirred
up the community. There has bee
no other topic outside the regular cur
riculum discussed at the high school,
and when the board Of education as
sembled the fraternity question was
the first that received attention.
Two years ago the question of
"frats" and sororities was brought up
and among the professors the organic
ations were denounced. Nothing, how
ever, looking to their elimination was
done.
Superintendent Oldt is reticent. He
declared that he had nothing to offer
other than that he is commissioned to
investigate the affair Of last Friday
night and report his findings to the
board.
