LAUNCH GOES OVER DAM.
Boat Containing Pleasure Party

Boat Containing Pleasure Party Is
Hurled into swirIina Waters.
Des Moines. Before the eyes Of
half hundred horror stricken pee
pie who were powerless to render as
sistance launch containing Earl and
William Jennings and Edwin and
William Ebersole, all prominent young
men, were swept over the pes Moines
river dam at Center street Saturday
afternoon at 3:15 o'clock.
Edwin Ebersole and William Jen-
nings were drowned and their bodies
have not been recovered Earl Jen'
nings was carried into the eddy at
the foot of the Edison Light Com
pany's substation and swan to the
shore. Almost exhausted, he was lift
ed from the water by bystanders. VIII
linn Ebersole was carried down the
river to a point about twenty-five
yards below the dam and seVeral
yards from the shore He struggled
gamely in the foaming waters for sew
eral minutes and had all but given
up. With burst of heroism that
made the spectators gasp, and with
out removing any of his clothing,
Grand Ferguson, a big negro, dived
from the abutment Of the sewer
which empties into the river at that
place and made for the drowning
man. A1ter heroic struggle Fersu-
son succeeded in getting the almost
unconscious Ebersole TO the shore.
A failure of the gasoline engine to
respond to the manipulations OF ore
of the party was directly responsible
for the accident. At the start the
launch engine worked perfectly. The
boat puffed its way to the middle OF
the stream. and had just been start
ed north. when of sudden the en-
CINE stopped. The party was theh
within a few rods Of the dam. Earl
Jennings took an oar from the bot
tom of the boat and padded furious
ly. But instead of padding up
stream he was assisting the current
in sweeping the craft into the WIG
swirl of waters below. Just before the
boat reached the brink of the dam all
four men arose to their feet and with
arms waving wildly disappeared.
An unfortunate phase of the acct
dent is the fact that within day or
two the life line which the city coun-
Gil recently authorized to be placed
across the river at the dam, was to
have been placed in position. Only
Saturday the workmen were engaged
in digging holes on each side of the
river for posts from which the line
was to be strung. Had this line been
in place at the time of the accident it
is likely that none of the four men
would have been drowned.

Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to chest

and in few hours the patient will be
out of danger. This simple remedy
has never failed to cure this too-often
fatal malady.. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient, but con-
tinue always until the Precipitation

Sagging at Shoulders.

Are you letting yourself sag bit
at the shoulders? Don't, If you want
to keep either young or well. There
is nothing so fatally easy as to grow
round-shouldered. Keep sharp watch
on yourself to prevent it.
4 Each morning stand up against the
lamb Of a door and see if you havo
begun to sag. Also walk around your
room each day with piece of broom
stick or short umbrella under each
arm and brought across the back. This
keeps the chest up and head well
poised.
Deep breathing exercises, whenever
you think Of them, will help ward of
those round shoulders, also making q
practice to wall with the chest up.
This last is the simplest Of all proven.
tives, for if i. is always practised the
rest will follow.

Useful RemodeIing Suggestions.

Have you a last years white linen
suit which requires only a few new
little touches to make it suitable fol-
this summer? If so, follow one of the
latest ideas from Paris, and introduce
q bit of color by using colored ere
tonne for the trimming. Just touch
of it will be sufficient. Perhaps you
will need to make only new set Of
cuffs, and possibly an adjustable shaw!
collar, which may be worn or removed
at your pleasure. .....
! Then, again. you could introduce a
renovating touch in your linen skirt
and-coat suit merely by changing the
buttons. If your suit happened to
have large pearl buttons last season
rip them off, buy some molds and
cover them with cretonne.
