Tice Children Have Been at Or
phans' Home.
But We're Returned Through
Board of Control.
AT PARENTS REQUEST.
Said They We're Able to Pro-
vide for Them.
Did Not Apply Personally to
Capt. Perrett.
AT PARENTS REQUEST.

It develops that Goldie and Charles
Tice, the children of Mrs. H. L. Tice of
GIG Van Buren, street, who now puts up
a poverty story were sent to the odd
Soldiers home at Atchison year ago
last May but were returned home about
three months ago through The board of
control at the instigation of the moth
er. 1t appears that she and her hus-
band, then living together, appealed to
the board for the care of their children,
saying that they were then well able to
provide for them. The board allowed
the return of the children.
However, it seems that since then the
children have been begging and indica-
tons are that they are being trained to
be professionals in this line.
Mrs. Tice has been married three
times. Her second husband was an old
soldier. Her last husband has deserted
her. The children have frequently
been in the care of the humane officers.
1t was also learned that Mrs. Tice,
who stated that the Salvation army had
tried to overcharge her for old cloth
ing, had merely asked the prices at the
army's regular rummage sale. On these
occasions an entire suit is sold for 25
cents. or no charges at all if the poor
are worthy and have no money. M. {.
w Perrett this morning said:
Mrs. Tice herself admitted to me
this morning that she did not apply to
me personally for clothing, but had at
tended one of our rummage sales and
learned that we charge 25 cents for gar
ments However when know that a
person has no money and needs the
clothing / make no charges. What lit
tie we do ask is to pay for the cost of
collectin~ the clothes"

Saving Lives

| From January LIST of this year, two

cures would make a tremendous list.

feel that they owe their lives to the
United Doctors and cannot say enough
in their praise. The following is fair
sample of the two thousand testimoni-
ais. 1t is taken at random from a
huge pile which was on the doctors
desk waiting to be fled. To the Pub
lie: For ten years I have been suf-
fering from a complication of diseases,
and particularly from assesses on my
stomach At first the assesses would
form four or five years apart, and
then they grew more frequent and
come as often as once a month. They
would commence to form, give me a
great deal of pain and then break at
which time I would throw up great
quantities of corruption, and then I
would be relieved for a time. OF
course this kept running my system
down until had given up hope of ever
being cured of this terrible condition.
But had read so much in the papers
and heard from my friends of the won
6erful work being done by the United
Doctors that 1 went to them three
months ago, only asking that they give
me some relief. I did not expect to
be cured. For week or so, I seemed
to be worse and discouraged, but since
that time the improvement has been
continuous and gradual I eat every
thing care to and digest it perfectly
and have not had an attack after TAX
ing the first weeks medicine. Now I
feel perfectly we'll and am doing my
cured. However. the doctors advise
me to continue the treatment for an
other month in order that I may be
sure that the condition will not return.
All these ten years had been taking
treatment under the best doctors L
could find in my home town and the
surrounding cities. all of whom gave
me no relief except that temporary re-
lief which comes from morphine or
opiates. I got so bad 1 just kept a
bottle OF morphine tablets in my house
end took them as needed to control
the pain, for that was all the other
doctors could do for me. You can I'M
derstand how grateful 1 feel to the
United Doctors for curing me of this
awful condition and saving me from a
life of morphine eating. The United
Doctors have done more for me than
they promised. and I cannot thank
them enough. Name on request.

Filled with fun.
He rescued two
Youthful cats
Shivering on

He named them:

He would have named 'em
Cook and ''Peary."

Two skinny skunks

The f1remen's hunks"
Thus they missed

And are happy

HON. II. W. BYERS
MAY ENTER RACE
FOR MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM
THE NINTH IOWA DISTRICT
Strong Pressure Being Brou ght to
Bear On The Attorney General
To Seek The Nomination

That there is much speculation con.
corning the candidates for Congress in
the Ninth District cannot be denied.
But just who they will be is still more
or less uncertain. Ii is accepted how
ever, without any question that the
present incumbent, the Hon. Walter /,
Smith will stand for the nomination for
another term: and his friends have been
hoping that no one else would enter
the race SO that Judge Smith might
haye clear field ut the Primary next
June; and particularly If there must
he another candidate he may he some
one but little known and without prom.
inence among the voters in southwest
Iowa. A number of names have been
mentioned rs possible candidates, inclu
ding Judge Green Of Audubon county.
Junkin of Montgomery. Meredith of
Cass and Hart of Pottawattamie. But
the name most frequently heard in this
connection is that of Hon. II. w. Byers
OF Harlan, the present attorney general
OF Iowa. This is true because>~of his
ability as lawyer, his eloquence ON
the platform, his prominence IN public
affairs, and his extended acquaintance
here and elsewhere in the state. II Is
understood that Mr.. Byers would be
satisfied with another term in his pres
ent position in which he has made a
brilliant record, but that many among
his best friends and strongest political
supporters are urging him to ask still
higher honors and make a fight for a
seat in the Lower House of Congress.
II Mr.. Byers shall finally yield to the
opportunities of his friends and make
contest for the nomination there will
be something doing in the Ninth Dis.
