YONKERS, N. Y, May 5.-Mrs.
Minnie Rauch, the sorry widow of
Yonkers, has stirred up a terrific
turmoil among the maids and ma
irons of the town.
Mrs. Rauch is a sensible, plain,
good woman" searching for a reli-
able. thrifty soulmate, and there is
none to be found in Yonkers, she
says, because the "pompadour girls
and faithless wives" have disgust
ed the young men and put a crimp
in the marriage market.
And that is the cause of the tur-
mol. The buds and matrons refuse
to speak to Mrs. Rauch and her
best friends turn UP their noses
and look straight ahead when they
pass her on the street.
Mrs. Rauch, seven years widow,
has searched two years for a hus-
band and found none in Yonkers.
Now she has broadened the quest
and made public her intentions by
writing a letter to Harold Flem-
ming, member of the New York
Self improvement club. This has
been made public. Consequently
Mrs. Rauch has been delugei with
more than 100 proposals.

town." says the sorry widow, "bu.

spite of the fact that the women

tons and my future happiness

doctor DECLARES
APPENDICITIS ALL GRAFT

After all is appendicitis myth
Are many of the so-calied cases
of appendicitis merely no more mol
less than stomach aches?
DR.. M. j. Roiermund, author OF
"As 1t Is a scientific exposure OF
the frauds of modern medicine and
surgery, virtually declares that ap'
pendicitis does not exist.
Il have witnessed and assisted in
"a operations of so-callei append.
citis," he says, but never have
seen a diseased appendix"
Rodermund charges that the sur.
geons use the popular dread of ap.
pendicitis as a method of shaking
down their patients.
Il have seen number OF
healthy, blooming young men and
women sent to the angels just be-
cause the surgeons wanted the fee
of three to five hundreds dollars, "
he says.
Then he goes on to explain how
the expert surgeon makes good on
operation for appendicitis, deceiv-
ing not only the friends of the pa
tent and the patient himself, but
the assisting physicians as we'll.
1.-The surgeon puts his finger deep
into the wound, finds healthy ap-
pendix, which the touch will usual
ly reveal, begins to talk scientific
ally about the intense adhesions,
and comforts his face into all sorts
of expressions, and explains the Sc
rious apprehensions while breaking
up these imaginary adhesions.
But what do you suppose the
surgeon is really doing all this
time? He is pinching and squeez-
ing the appendix so as to look dis
eased when he finally takes it out.
His fngernails will have produced
dents and swelling sufficiently to
deceive any doctor or layman look
ing on, or any inquiring friends OF
the patient"
All this talk about the appendix
filling up with grape seeds, cherry
pits ami other fruit seeds, which as
youngsters we never hesitated to
swallow, is all buncombe, Roder-
mund declares.

CATCH TROUT IN
THEIR ORCHARDS

NORTH YAKIMA, May 5.-Game
Warden Thomas Mullen, of Yakima
county, has called the sportsmen of
this district together to devise
some way of protecting the game
fish which are now being slaughter
ed in thousands by being dumped
on the orchards and alfalfa fields
from the irrigation bitches.
There is now no protection at
the intakes of the various bitches.
The trout and salmon enter the
bitches and then turn off into the
laterals, finally ending their life in
the grass where the water has
played out and left them. Attorney
Ed Parker a few days ago caught
six-pound rainbow trout in his
pear orchard. Clinton Shannon
found several trout in his orchard
and numerous others have reported
similar finds.

The anatomy shows that it is
an absolute impossibility for the
appendix in man to become OBJ
structed any more than the glands
that secrete the saliva can be OBJ
structed by the food in tho
mouth" he says.
Instead of being a useless, SUI
perfluous attachment, with no ap-
parent use to the human system,
as popular impression has it, the
appendix, Rodermund claims, is a
very necessary and wisely placed
oil can for the intestines.
This little appendix is a CLAN
dular organ" he explains, land
evidently there for a purpose SIM
liar to that of other glands, l. e.,
to furnish fabrication and answer
as an oil can to prevent any OBJ
struction when the contents are
passing from the large intestine
into the smaller one"
In the dog the appendix ap-
pears but it is practically a con-
tinuation of the intestine, with a
wide-open mouth, inviting the
Judgement of infinitely larger OBJ
structions than possibly could force
their way into the human appendix.
Yet dogs do not have appendi-
citis.
The nearest possible approach to
appendicitis, according to Roder
mund, is a clogging of the intes-
final passage with fecal matter at
the abrupt curve over the appen-
dix. Should such a caking of the
intestinal walls occur it might be
expected to produce pain, and pos
sibly some Inflammation which
might be communicated in extreme
cases to the appendix.
But he says, this is no more
appendicitis than a common belly
ache would be Inflammation of the
bowels"
Moreover, such a condition may
be relieved by a diet that has a
tendency to loosen the packed sub
stance in the intestines, or it may
be removed by resort to grandma's
simple purgative treatment.

ed FISHER VICTIM OF
VICIOUS ASSAULT

Ed Fisher, Chief Rices secretary,
appeared at the Office this morn
ing looking like he had made the
acquaintance of some loggers last
night and they had danced upon
his features and punctured them
with corks. uBt it isn't the fact,
as Fisher will make affidavit. He
was hanging an old picture in the
cellar of his home late yesterday
and the ladder slipped from under.
On summing up matters before a
looking glass he arrived at the fol
lowing total: One black eye, two
cut and swollen lips, a gashed
cheek. 1,199 scratches, torn trous-
ers, coat, underwear, and a three
inch cash in his knee.

GIVING AWAY STATE
COLLEGE PROPERTY

A strong protest against the
state sale of land on Brewster fiat
has been made by e. A. Bryan,
president of the Washington state
college at Pullman. The land in
cludes nearly 10000 acres and has
been appraised for sale at $40 per
acre. 1t is part of the grant made

worth 500 per acre than the ap-
praised price. The state college
board of regents will meet at Pull
man May 10 to protest the proposed
sale.
