THIEVES STEAL
WOMEN'S JEWELS
ROBBERS INVADE THE HOME
OF INVALID
IGNORE SICK WOMAN AND NURSE

tributors with satchels
Whom They Suspect

Miss Eva Chaffee attended a recep-
tion at Glen Mary Monday after
noon. but she did so unbedecked WIN
the iewelry she usually wears at So
ciaI functions. Sneak thieves entered
her home yesterday morning and took
all the watches, diamond rings, but
tons and valuables in sight exposed on
a dresser in the front room of the
Chaffee home, 1929 Girard street.
In an adjoining room were Mrs.
Chaffee, the mother, who is sick, and
her nurse, Mrs. McRoberts, unaware
of the marauders' visit
whether by coincidence or intuition,
the strange statement is made by two
neighbors that each suspected that
something was going to happen.
Mrs. ]. C. Hunsicker who lives next
door to the Chaffees, only a day or
two ago remarked to Miss Chaffee
that she was taking chances in keep
ing valuables at home, saying that she
should keep her gems in safe de-
posit box.
Mrs. Corey of Winfield street just
around the corner, had left her house
yesterday, but remembering that she
had left her jewelry exposed, went
back to her home, put all her rings on,
took all the money she had lert at
home and went shopping, breath
easier.
Both of these women commented on
the circumstance when they heard OF
the robbery.
AS soon as Nurse McRoberts discov-
cred the loss she set up an outcry
which brought Mrs. Chaffee indoors
from the garden and resulted in q
quick council of action. Miss Chaffee
did what the police told her was wisest
rushed to her telephone and notified
headquarters.
Neghbors Have Ciew
Then the neighbors were apprised
and II was decided that the only sus-
poets recalled were two men with
hand satchels, who were seen to stop
at all doors and deposit advertising
literature.
Detective ziegler came out, took
notes on the case and decided Off
hand that experts had done the work.
Chaffee, the father, who is plas-
tering contractor, reached home short
Iy afterwards on his wheel and he too
took the scent. From the clerks at
Cole & Coles grocery, nearby, he
learned that they, too, had noticed the
two men and had called the attention
of a passing patrolman to their APP
pearance, saying they looked like sus-
picious characters. These clerks said
the patrolman wrote down something
in his book, but they heard no more
from him.
The Chaffees are of the old family
Of that name, which has given to the
limited States several soldiers.
When they lived in Chicago eleven
years ago their home was also robbed,
and not only were jewels stolen, but
quantities of portable household goods.

Torturing Animals
To Assist Science
Is a Cruel Method to Follow, but
1t Has Saved Many
Human Lives

Prof Pawlow of Russia was en-
gagged for many years in exp -imental
work, trying to learn the workings of
digestion, especially the digestive
lands.
He, with able assistants, operated
upon dogs, cats, guinea pigs and other
animals.
His methods were seemingly painful,
hut he gave to science work which
won the Nobel prize and made for him
an undying fame.
Science penetrated the secrets of ma
ture. Prof. Pawlow saw animals di-
gest food. He analyZed juices from
every p1l of the digestive canal ana
stomach under all conditio: of diges-
ton. He spent years of ceaseless study
amid the bowling and dying beasts,
but he won, and science toda. looks
upon him as great man.
ITO do a great right do a little
cong" Shakespeare said, and Prof.
Pawlow obeyed this trite saying.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet are pre-
Jared by the most scientific process.
They are produced by modern appli-
ances, and meet the demand of goth
century chemistry.
They give man the means to correct
] infirmities of stomach and digestive
organs.
They nrich the blood, give nature

prevent and relieve bowel and intes-

They should be used after every meal
whether one has dyspepsia and stom-
ach trouble or the stomach be naturally
healthy. BY their use one may eat at

CHANCE FOR LAD AT
WORKING BOYS CLUB

Is there a homeless boy in Los An
eeles who wants an education badly
enough to work for it? There is a hne
chance to Join the Working Boys club,
where there is a position for the right
boy which will give him plenty OF time
to attend school at the same time.
The only requirements are that he
shall be Ia years of age or over and
that nobody else will take him. In the
afternoon from till late at night he
will be provided with employment. This
will give him an opportunity to attend
school in the daytime
The Working Boys club is under
the management of Mrs. l.. nj. Vance
and has it's headquarters at 1858 South
Main street The club has been in eX-
istence three years and in that time
200 boys have been provided with
homes. Many of them came from the
home of detention, from the reform
school and from the juvenile courts.
There are now twenty-eight boys III
the home, nearly all of whom have
steady positions and many OF them &c
to school.
One of the peculiar features of the
club is that there are no rules. 1t is
not a religious institution and boys
past is never inquired into. "When q
boy is given UP as hopeless by every
body else I ask that he be sent to me,
said Mrs. Vance 81 try to treat him
as his own mother would and for the
most part he can do as he pleases The
only regulation is that boys are not
allowed to smoke in the house. The
Golden Rule is our only religion We
do not have religious services nor do
we hold, out the Bible in one hand and
a piece of bread in the other. II q boy
does not behave himself he will have
to leave the home, and most of them
are very loath to do that. | try to get
employment for them and let them work
out their own salvation"
Any boy who is thoroughly in earnest
in his desire to gain an education may
learn of Mrs. Vance's offer at The
Herald office today between and G

DALLAS, Tex, March 21.--Reports
are reaching camp that McGraw has

with Eastern League clubs. 1t is quite
likely that he will find good berths in

COLLEGES OVERDO
SPORT, SAYS WILSON.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. March 21.-5Dr.
Woodrow Wilson. president of Prince
ton University. believes that there are
too many athletic sports in college. He
advocates the limiting of man to par
tlcipation IN one or, at most, two
branches of sport. In an interview at
Yale he said, through the Yale News,
yesterday:
MY view is that there are far too
many activities engaged in by under
graduates Formerly there were two
seasons of sport-fall and spring; but
now. when men take part in basketball
and hockey during the winter months.
there is virtually no cessation of ath-
letics at all for some men.
"A good plan would be to limit man
to participation in one or two branches
of athletics. This is the general senti-
n1ent of the Princeton faculty. but The
carrying out of any such plan Is the
difficult part"
