TO BANK PRESIDENT
Newly Elected Head Of Chicago lnsti
tuition Started at Bottom.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-From an obscure
messenger boy to president of one OF
the greatest banking institutions in the
west--this is the history of the rise Of
Lucius Teter, who Tuesday was elected
president of the Chicago Savings Bank
and Trust company.
1t is few months short Of sixteen
years since young Teter came to Chi
cago to make his fight for fortune. and
when his dreams We're realized he also
won the added distinction of becoming
at So years of age the youngest bank
president in the country.
The son of country lawyer in In
diana, young Teter was a stranger in
a strange land when he arrived here.
He had no friends. no training in the
vocation he sought to pursue, no infiu-
ence to push him to the front; nothing
but a goodly amount of courage, a deal
of self-reliance and a determination to
win that no vicissitudes could dampen.
With these assets as his only capital,
he started in to climb the ladder of sue
cess, beginning as messenger at a
paltry salary in the old Columbia Ma
tional bank. When asked by his friends
to explain by what method he succeed
ed in reaching the top, Teter laughed
and said:
why, l was so busy getting there
that have nearly forgotten how I did
It,"
Pressed for an explanation, he con-
tinued:
when came to Chicago l made up
my mind to get ahead. I loved bank
ing-and finally | got a job as messen-
ger in the Columbia National bank
when started in, took care of my
own work first and then studied all
could of the job bigger than mine.
When / was messenger I wanted to
know how the clerk did his work; when
was teller, how the vice president
did his, and so on. Then wanted to
know all about the theory as well as
the practice of banking, and read ev-
cry book l could get on the subject. In
this way l was always prepared for
promotion when il came"

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE
What is Causing the Increase Of G.


| What is Causing the Increase Of Ca
tarrh in Marshalltown.
In spite of the best efforts of medical
men, catarrhal troubles are Increasing
not only in Marshalltown. but all over
the country.
Catarrh is a germ disease, and to
cure it germ life in the breathing or
gans should be destroyed, and to do
this no other treatment has such posi-
tive and beneficial action as Hyomei.
When the mucous membrane is irrf-
tated and raw and the tissues weak
ened there is an ideal lodging place for
catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei and
see how quickly it soothes the mem
branes, vitalizes the tissues and de-
stroys all the disease germs, rendering
catarrh no longer possible.
/, There is no dangerous stomach drug
ging when Hyomei is used; no tablets
or liquid mixtures destroying diges-
ton.
Breathed thru the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every Hyomei
outfit, the healing balsams penetrate to
the most remote air cells of the throat,
nose and lungs, destroying the ca
ldFrldI germs So lIldL QUICK IeCOVcIy
follows.
Mcbride & viii agree to refund the
money to any purchaser of Hyomef
who does not find that it does all that is
claimed for it. The complete outfit
costs but s1.00.
Mans Bones to Make Buttons.
New York.-Henry e. Sullivan, a
prominent member of the Nameoki
club, has made in all seriousness the
lueerest of queer wills, rejecting the
utilitarianism that has been factor
H. every act of his life. He directs his
executors to have made out of his
bones circular buttons of the dimen-
sions of one-haIf to one inch in di-
ameter; to have his skin tanned and
made into pouches, and to have violin
strings made out of such parts of his
body as are suitable. and his executors
must adjust these strings to the body
Of the violin.

Dies in SNOWFALL.

Nienna-The Deutsches Volksblat1
records the story of sportsman who
while hunting chamois near Uttendorf
loosened the snow on which he was
standing by discharging his rifle. Once
started, the movement became an
avalanche, and the hunter was thrown
down the side of the mountain, rolling
rapidly towards the valley.
AS he went over and over the snow
collected around him until he became
the center of an immense SNOWFALL
which increased in size until it stopped
in the valley.
The man then was so tightly packed
in the mass that it was impossible to
extricate him alive. His body was
hewn tut of the hardened mass with
difficulty.
ImbecIe Boy Cured by Weighing Toes.
New York.-Speechless for sixteen
years, Gustav Laut has, in ten months,
learned to talk fuently. During the
same period he has developed from an
abnormal, undeveloped, almost imbe-
cile boy, into an alert, active. am
bilious person; he has grown four
inches in height, permanent teeth have
come to him against all the beliefs of
the dental profession, and he gives
promise of becoming healthy, normal
man.
His development is the result of ex-
periments by Professor Charles Morris
Campbell of Albany n. Y, an instruc-
tor in music. who treated the boy ac-
cording to theory of his own.
Professor Campbell began by causing
the boy to wiggle one of his toes, an
operation which required several
weeks. Gradually the principle was ex-
tended, muscles were stimulated, and
with their stimulation came a response
from lungs and heart and other vital
finally came the power to speak. The
boy has developed ambitions and says
he is determined to go thru college as
soon as he can make up for lost time.
