that the whole episode went off
half-cocked. The reporters I'M
doubtedly did so, and we trust
that it is not lese majestic or any
thing of that sort, to hint that
our respected governor himself
was a little previous. A judi
cious inquiry or two, privately
made, would have revealed the
sponsorless basis of the rumor,
as idle as the baseless fabric OF
a dream-and a general denial
could have resulted without the
calling together of a parochlal in
QUESTION. The taxpayers OF
East Baton Rouge, as they pay
the grand jurors per diem will
sadly form the same conclusion.
But the episode teaches US
that newspapers must salt the
tails of any rumors pertaining to
the State Legislature.
See that you do it, boys.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Certain New Orleans daily
papers were undoubtedly care
less in q celebrated instance
lately, in reporting a rumor,
without first going to the troub-
lie of getting sponsors for 1t.
They were read fine lecture
for their rashness by the grand
jury of East Baton Rouge,
which seems to be thoroughly
informed on the ethice of jon
malism. In its opinion, nothing
Should go into print but what
can be stamped undeniably as
true" and all rumors should
be held like naughty birds until
you can put salt on their tails
before letting them fly into the
pure ether of publicity. The
difficulty of catching the birds
does not count. They must
be caught and the salt must be
put on their tails before they
are allowed to fly farther. The
Grand Jury does not tell how
this can be done. That is the
newspapers problem.
But let us not rub more deeply
into the raw of our cOntempora'
ries' wounds. They sinned and
now they must suffer, but we
are glad that they 40 not suffer
much.

Rockford, Nov. "A sensation was
sprung here yesterday, when the for
rner wife of Joe Lewis kidnapped two Of
the children, little girls, whom the
court, which granted the divorce, had
committed to the care of Mr.. Lewis.
The former Mrs Lewis attempted to
get the children from the public schools
but the teachers would not allow them
to leave. The woman then waited about
the grounds till noon, when she
grabbed the little girls and dragged
them to buggy which she had hired
at the livery.
The children were protesting and
weeping SO loudly as to arouse the at
tentlon of neighborsA who knew the
woman. They Immediately telephoned
to Mr. Lewis, who found that the wom-
an had driven toward Nora Springs.
He notified the police at that place, and
she was arrested in the act of buying
a ticket there.
Mr.. Lewis received decree of d.
grounds for doing SO We're the fact
that Mrs. Lewis had abandoned her
children and gone to Montana with
another man. AS the court committed
the children to the care of Mr.. Lewis,
the woman is guilty Of kidnapping, for
which the penalty is heavy.

to the value of between $500 and $1,000
have been stolen from the wholesale
millinery store of M. Stern & Son, 316-
31S West Court avenue.
The theft is supposed to have oc-
Cured sometime between Saturday
night and Monday morning, when the
loss was discovered on opening the
store for business. but every effort has
been made to keep the matter secret
while the detective department has
been working upon the case.
The theft is one Of the most battling
ever recorded in the history of Des
Moines Whether employees of the mill
linery firm perpetrated the steal or
outside parties, is the point the de-
tectives are now working on. 1t was
because of this uncertainty that the
matter was attempted to be kept quiet.

GET BUSY, DOCTOR.

In a recent issue Of the American
Journal Of Clinical Medicine. the editor
takes occasion to remind physicians of
number of instances common to the
practice of all, when quick, decisive
action Is necessary. Among other rec
concentrations, it says:
Get busy when patient comes to
you with a cough. 1T may be only
cold, but then a cold may be pre-
cursor of pneumonia, or the cough an
early symptom Of pulmonary tuhercu-
losis."
To break up a cold quickly and cure
any cough that is durable, there is no
more effective remedy than the mix
ture Of two0ounces Of Glycerine with
eight ounces Of good Whisky and a
half ounce Of Virgin Oil Of Pine COM
pound pure. Take teaspoonful every
four hours. This formula is as mex
pensiye as 1t is effective, because the
mixture provides a quantity sufficient
to last the average family an entire
year. Where Whisky is not readily OBJ
tainable, five ounces of tincture OF
Cinchona compound can be used instead
with equal effect 1t is better to pur-
chase the ingredients separately and
prepare the mixture at home.
The genuine Virgin Oil of Pine COM
pound pure is combination of the ac-
tive principles of the Pine and Santal-
wood, retaining the well-known heal
ing properties of those trees. To In
sure it's freshness and purity, it is put
up for dispensing only in half ounce
walls, each vial securely sealed in a
round wooden case. Be sure to use the
genuine, prepared only by Leach Chem
