Waterloo, Dec. 10.-Harry Rogers
and Daisy Lee wish to reform and lead
respectable lives. This bit of ilNorma-
ton Police Judge Kepford says was
given him by the pair during their in
generation in the city Jail. The judge
thought first they were instncere. but
subsequent developments lead him to
believe they will carry out their in
tent.
A Waterlocan is said to have re-
ceived a letter from Rogers in which
he states he gave the Wisconsin au-
thorities a steer when he told them
he was fleeing to Canada, and that, in
fact, he is not far from Waterloo, and
Daisy is with him. They expect to
stay with friends until things quiet
down sufficiently to allow them to go
east and open drug store.
1t is said Rogers is a registered
pharmacist and to Judge kepford he
said he had tired of the life he had
led for several years and now was
ready to do right and enter an honor
able calling. He said he wants to go
east to open a drug store, and Daisy
would accompany him. In this BUSH
ness they would have no difficulty in
getting the dope" that their systems
Anuire. He said they had chosen the
S1r,e,t hecause thew had been operating
in the west and We're wanted along
the coast for theft Of silks. Another
reason Rogers assigned for wanting to
settle down was to avoid being hound
ed by officers Of the law, who, he said,
were beginning to get too we'll ac-
uuainted with him. Whether Rogers
was sincere in his desires remains to
be seen.

Sioux City. Dec. 10.-Henry Clark
Moore. formerly of Sioux City, and
more recently Of Tama. who for many
years has believed he could fly, and
who still maintains that belief, is now
walking the streets Of New York in an
effort to interest capital in his inven-
ton. He is more than 30 years OF
age. but IS still full of ambition. He
calls his concern the Iowa Flying Ma
chine company, and his invention the
Condor flying machine He declared
that Thomas A. Edison and himself
were one In their views on aerial navi-
cation. He declared the Wright BROTH
ers are wrong in the plan Of their
flyer. Their machine is too unWieldy
and occupies too much space with
wings so wide spread and so narrow.
They have attempted to follow too
closely the structure OF the bird in
stead of improving on nature. Mr..
Moore commented on the offer of the
London Times for $4,000 for flying
trip from London to Manchester. IN
twenty four hours. Mr. Moore declared
he could do the stunt In less than six
hours. He says the carrying capacity
of his flying machine removes the nee
essity of alighting for fuel. 1t can carry
enough fuel to cross the Atlantic ocean.
Its the perfect simplicity of this flying
machine that gives me much entire
confidence in it's success" said Mr..
Moore He is quoted as saying to a
New York reporter:
"a farmer can understand Its oper-
alton and manage it in flight more
readily than he can run threshing
machine Good horse sense Is all that
is needed My flyer will soon put the
automobile on the shetland why not?
No danger OF collisions on its wide
highway" Mr. Moore is said to have
a plan to devote one-half OF the 2,60U
shares which will be made over to
him In the new company. to establish
a factory in Tama for making pamela
the favortte food of the Mexican peo-
pie. but entirely unknown in the
United States He declared that the
magnitude of the business which Will
result will t,rn Tama into metrop-
oils of Importance.

somewhat weakened they managed to

eNeW Treatment
Pepsin Superseded in Treat
ment of Indigestion by
Recent Discoveries.
NEW FACTS BECOMING KNOWN
Neutralizine Agents Superior to
Pepsin In Cases Of Fermenta-
and Gas in Intestines---Simple
Formula Suggested.

physicians are coming to recognize
generally that better results are be-
ing obtained in the treatment OF
chronic indigestion by the use OF al
kaline elixirs and neutralizing MKT
ures than by continued administration
OF pepsin. That such should be the
case Is not due to natural prejudice on
the part Of patients against pepsin, as
an unsavory animal product. for too
few Of them are aware of the nature
of pepsin to cause Limitation OF IT'S
usefulness on that account; nor is 1t
due to the undeniable fact that pep
sin loses its efficacy on being exposed.
1t seems to be largely due to the
spreading knowledge that pepsin is
effective only in, an acid medium, and
then only upon proteids-not upon
other food elements, as fats and
starches; and that it has, again. no eft
feet whatever in cases where the seat
Of the trouble is in the intestines.
This IL the definite Limitation of pep
Gin, that in order for it to do its work
the stomach must be acid In reaction,
whereas the intestines, in which most
obstruction (and consequently most
fernentation) occurs, Is always aka
line.
On the other hand, the neutralizing
agents correct the excess of acid IN
the stomach, stop the fermentation,
and thus put a check on the forma-
ton Of gas in the intestines. Fur
thermore they tend to increase the
flow Of the digestive secretions, and
have q distinct value In eliminating
from the system the waste products OF
digestion.
We give below the formula of one
Of the, best neutralizing mixtures, that
can be readily prepared by any one
ut home: sodium phosphate. u o.;
essence Of Sealmint, l o.. good bake
ing soda u teaspoonful. Mix these
In an eight-ounce bottle, and add
enough pure water to I'LL the bottle.
Take two teaspoonfuls before each
meal. It is said that by virtue Of Its
neutralizing action. this simple mex
pensive remedy will give RELIEF from
gas within a few minutes. and that 1t
will actually cure the most obstinate
cases Of indigestion and dyspepsia
within two or three weeks.
Anyone is free to use this formula
and make this medicine up for him
self at home. All the ingredients can
be had Of any druggist at cost OF
about so or IS cents.

charged, but the Dedinas were bound

them returned no indictments. This
leaves the three suspects absolutely
free. From appearances now it does
not seem likely that the murderer or
