THRESHER EXPLODES
Two Iowa Farmers Killed by Burst

For a Distance of 100 Feet.

Charlottesville. Aug. S.-While stand

CINE belonging to the Wells-Twinan
farm, near this place, exploded yes
terday morning, killing Harold Twinan,
aged 25 years, and Sam TruaN. 4
young lad of 10, who was employed on
the farm. So great was the force of
the explosion that the young men We're

terrific force against straw stack.
The engine crashed thru a nearby
building for a distance of twenty feet.
Word had been sent to Washington
for a machinist to come and make re-

defective at that time. The repairer
did not start until yesterday morn

was only mile away. The owner Of

distance of about ten feet, to the
ground below, and struck on her head,
on the edge Of a jar, causing concus-

Summer Tips For Women

Next to the white, pale shades with a
very light shrimp pink as one of the
leaders, are extensively used in the
eastern resorts.
This is surely the age Of the slender
woman. She predominates at all the
resorts this season. Over at Atlantic
City it is said all the fat women stayed
away. At any rate, they are few, as
is plain to be seen; what is the Sc
cret?
Stout ladies of the 400 have found a
new way to quickly take off the extra
fat and hold it in check without incon-
venience. They have thankfully given
up dieting, exercising and the miscel-
laneous drugging so long in vogue
among the overfat, for a simple mix
ture that is said to give remarkable
results, owing to its control Of the fat
forming operations of the system. The
formula is: Marmola, one-half ounce;
Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, one
half ounce; Syrup Simplex, three and
one-half ounces; dose a teaspoonful af
ter meals and at bedtime. Enthusiast
tic users claim that this mixture will
reduce fat at the rate Of a pound a
day without causing wrinkles, and has
the additional merit of being perfectly
harmless. The ingredients are mex
pensive and obtainable at any drug
store. In order to get the best results,
however. the Marmola must be fresh,
and so care should be taken to get it IN

CHILD CRUSHED BY CARS.

Five Year-oId Otto Huddleston, Of
tumwa, Meets Terrible Death.
Special to Times Republican.
OttumWa, Aug. S.-Otto. the 5-year-
old son Of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hud-
dleston, of this place, was the victim
of a tragic accident, being crushed by
the cars in the yards here. Altho an
arm and leg were severed from his
body, the child fingered almost three
hours before dying.
The accident occurred as the Mil
waukee switch engine, No. 1864, was on
its way to, the lower yards to get
some cars from the packing house,
which are deposited by the packing
house switch engine at the lower
yards. The. theory advanced by the
trainmen is, that the child was playing
beneath the car and upon the switch
engine coupling onto the cars, made an
attempt to crawl out from under, with
the result that the limb and arm were
crushed.
Engine Foreman o. c. Kinney, in
charge of the Milwaukee engine, with
the assistance of other members OF the
crew, Immediately took the child to
his home nearby. Medical assistance
was summoned and all that could be
done to alleviate his sufferings was
tried. The child's parents are pros
trated over the sad accident and a pail
Of gloom hangs over the neighborhood
because of the sad affair.

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
