II was with considerable difficulty
that Mr.. Snow was induced TO sign the
complaint, as he had heard part Of
Herman's story

Herman, as soon as he was arraign-

But Judge Diehl's questions quickly
threw another light upon this unusual
tale of suffering.
Are you a victim of the drug hab-

Herman hesitated an instant
Yes" he replied, bowling his head.
The shamefaced confession weakened
belief in the mans story, but left
greater pity for the children.

We're not in on time. However. the best

Home Fat Reducer
Works Rapidly and safely-Requires
No Exercising and Allows You to
Eat What You like-Cut This


For the benefit Of those who wish to
reduce their flesh quickly and safely,
we will give the recipe and directions
in full for simple household remedy
that can be obtained at trifiing cost
from any good drug store; one-half
ounce Marmola, 1-2 ounce fluid extract
Cascara Aromatic and 8 1-2 ounces
Syrup Simplex. All three are cheap
and wholesome, but you should take
care to get an unbroken package SO
that you can get Marmola and not
substitute When you get home mix
the three together by shaking them
together in large bottle and take one
teaspoonful after each meal and at bed
time
Follow these directions and you will
have one of the best fat reducers that
money can buy. 1t will take off the
flesh at the rate of at least two pounds
a week without disarranging the stom-
ach or causing wrinkles, while, best of
all, no exercising or dieting is required
to help it out. You can get results and
at the same time take things easy and
eat what you like-as much as you like
and whenever you like it.

ments. Judged by he. language. she
is the antethesis of the accepted ideal
of womanhood. Perhaps were she a
man she would be busy counscling
street corners until requested to move
on by the policeman on the beat. Her
work in Chicago will not be effective
because she is playing to the galleries.
She is drawing attention with her out
Iandish and barbarous propositions as
she might by outlandlsh clothes or IN
the costume of Fiji islander. But she
isn't doing any good.
Her propositions are all back num-
bers. Even Cain was branded, which
is Il case about as far back as human
history is supposed to go. Some states
in the union cropped the ears OF con-
victs under penitcntiary sentences and
middle aged men may still remember
having seen this distinguishing mark.
Some savages still employ the means
suggested by Mrs. Shaffner for making
away with idiots and the aged. There
is little new under the sun but much
that is "fresh." Mrs. Shaffner's prop
ositions belong in the latter, classill-
cation.
While men retain their respect AID
feeling of special protectorate over the
opposite sex such women as Mrs.
Shatfner. who would hang idiots and
that other woman. whoever she was.
who would make short time marriages
by contract. will jar on humanity In
general.

the DIFFERENCE IN BRANDS.

Addressing fashionable society wom-
en-, members of the Social Economics
club in Chicago, Mrs. Lillyan Shaffner,
vice president Of the organization and
chief of, police of city corporation, -
proposed to the women who heard her:
LET us brand the murderers on the
forehes DIS with mark that shall be
known across the length and breadth
of the land as the mark of Cain and
set them free, to work out their pun
ishment here where their crimes are
conlmi.ted." Mrs. sshaffner also sub
mitted proposition to kill idiots

of woman that is becoming too COM

Bristow. Nov. 9.-Of course the up
permost subject of conversation every
where this week has been the pan
ic." And curious panic it is, when
hardly any one is frightened of 1t they
are they keep it to themselves. And
it has another peculiar feature It's IN
spots, in Iowa. For instance, in this
town and in Allison the bankers are
doing business the same old way. one
bankers told the writer he had loaned
out over $4,000 during the past ten
days. All checks are paid in full, and
money furnished to grain and stock
men the same as usual. This exception
however, exists. They will not cash
Chicago or New York drafts, but sell
you all you want. The writer is told
the same conditions prevail in Hamp-
ton.
Here and there one runs on to an
individual that is an exception to the
general rule This man is loud in his
denunciation of otir banks and banking
system. There was an eloquent man
at the hotel yesterday. Banks should
be compelled to pay depositors in full. =
"Damnable outrage" He would sue
a. bank that refused him his money
and close 'em up A little inquiry
about this financfer, made it more
than probable that he had no money in
a bank and very little in his pocket.
But things do get mixed in such
times. The milkman came to the door
last Monday and told the lady of the
house, Don't know what we are going
to do, the banks had a meeting yester-
day and agreed that they will not pay
any depositors over $25 month And
said the lady in reply. Il don't know
how we're going to live, or how l can
pay for milk. Ten minutes afterWard
he came back Il guess l was mistak-
en- said he, they tell me down the
street the banks will pay s25 a week"
ooh, then, all right" said the relieved
housekeeper. At noon the husband
came home and told her the banks
would pay s25 day. why, we don't
need so much as. that" said the
pleased, tho economical woman.
OF course dealers and spectators
are making the most of these troubled
times. Some circulars have been
shown the writer where shippers have
dropped the prices way down. One
wholesale dealer in chickens sent out
a notice that five cents was his best
price till matters were settled, but the
buyer in the small town kept on pay
ing six cents as "he knew of another
firm that wanted them" Some grain
men are trying to break prices in

other nearby towns ends that. Some
farmers are holding off from buying
their winter family supplies, but tits
