The Modesty of Women

Naturally makes them shrink from the
indicate questions, the obnoxious ex-
aminations, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
essential in the treatment of diseases of
women. Yet, if help can be had, it is
better to submit to this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble
is that so often the woman undergoes all
the Annoyance and shame for nothing.

Their Little Romance Rudely Inter-

Their Little Romance Rudely Inter-
rupted by an officer.
An officer with warrant put an end
to an elopement at Charlton and tenn
porarily suspended the elimination OF
a little romance. Edward Clark,
twenty-five years old, who travels for
a Chicago house, met and fell In love
with pretty Matte Eggers, the seven
teen-year-old waitress in a hotel din
ingroom at Osceola. On each of his
trips, Clark made further progress in
the inroads which he was making in
the young girls heart and they were
engaged. Then the girls mother and
brother stepped in and forbade the
match on the ground that the girl was
too young. The young people pleaded
for a speedy marriage, but the mother
and brother remained obdurate. Fin
ally an elopement was planned and
the two lovers took the train for
Charlton. The mother became aware
of the elopement: she telegraphed to
the police at Charlton to have the
couple arrested, and shortly after
their arrival, while they were search
ing for minister to tie the knot, the
lovers were confronted with an officer
with warrant. They accompanied
the officer back to Osceola where they
hoped to appease the wrath of the
young woman's relatives and become
united.

Wells is not a member of the ex.

the chambers property rights in them
were extinguished by the fact that
they were posted in public places and
thereby became public property. The

Champion Freak Bill.

At last it has come-the champion
freak bill for which the Iowa legisla-
ture has been waiting. Senator Gale
of Mason City is the author and his
name must be emblazoned along side
that of Representative Buckingham
and his famous "kill-the-incurables"
bill Of the last session. Senator
Gales bill Is less serious, however.
It simply provides that each laying
hen in Iowa must have rubber stamp
stamp attached to her heel. AS fast
as she lays an egg, she must kick
backward and stamp the egg with the
date of the performance. The labeled
eggs will then be fit for market. Sen.
ator Gales bill is in verse.

Chicago, March --latest develop
ments in the looting of the subtreas-
ury of the sum of $173,000 indicate
that it was the work of an insane man
who was and is an employe of the
United States subtreasury. That the
man, whose mind has become clouded,
could have hidden the money in the
federal building, is believed by en-
ployes of the subtreasury and is cred

Uses to become one of the most re-
markable mysteries ever encountered
by the local treasury officials.
The mans name, it was reported
around the government building, has
been mentioned in connection with the
theft almost daily since its discovery
and the secret service men are said to
be awaiting only an opportunity to
unearth the hiding place of the stolen
fortune to make the arrest.

bank in which these bills could sur
