WARMING No Good In Jasper.

A lot OF dentists in session in Bir-
mingham last week created a furore
by asserting that IL was dangerous
to kiss a peroxide blonde. The kisser,
so the dentists said, would be likely
TO contract a disease called 'Pyorr-
hoea," one of the results of which
would be to cause the teeth to fall
out.

they are here in Jasper the warning

Loan Sharks.


The crusade against loan sharks
which is being agitated by DR.. CIar-
ence w. Wassam, calls for the appro-
baton and encouragement OF every
thoughtful citizen of the state of
Iowa.
The loan shark" and the details of
his business, have been so frankly and
frequently exposed by the newspapers
of the country during the last few
years that it seems scarcely needful
TO describe his methods of making
usurious profits. 1t might be stated,
however, that the victims of the
nefarious loan system are always IN
dtgent, usually ignorant persons. BY
specious promises and a well feigned
generosity the loan shark" induces
unfortUnateS to become his debtors.
For months after a man has borrowed
money from this sort of a loan office
his efforts to pay the principal are
laughed away. The interest thus is
allowed to accumulate until it
amounts to more than the sum origin
ally borrowed. A man who borrOws
say, SO frequently pays many times
that amount before he can escape the
clutches of the shark
That loan sharks are doing busi-
ness in this state is a well known fact
Dr. WaSsam's campaign against them
is timely and, it is to be hoped. will
not be fTuitlesS.-Des Moines ia \

HOLBROOK IS HELD.
Friends Satisfied He Will Not Be Con-
victed of BlaclzmaiI.

Independence, Kan, Dec. 17.-Arthur
w. Holbrook. a Kansas City business
man, was given hearing before JUS
tice here on the charge Of attempting
to blackmail Mrs. Albert Tanner. the
wife of a well known business man
of Coffeyville. He was bound over to
the district court in the sum of 81 500,
which he gave. a number of business
men going his bail.
Mr.. Holbrook in letter to Mrs.
Dewey, his mother-in-law. explains his
arrest. He says that he was detained
at his office and that as he passed
down the street he walked hurriedly
in order to catch up with Bert Hast
ings, a friend. He noticed the package
on the walk and picked it up without
thinking and placed it in his pocket,
hurrying on to meet his friend when
he was arrested by a policeman He
says that he was taken back to his Of
fee and required to write on his type
writer when it was claimed that the
ribbon on his typewriter was the same
color as that used to write the black
mailing letter. He protests his inno-
cence and says that his only connec-
ton with the affair was the fact that
he thoughtlessly picked up the pack
age He says that as soon as he is
cleared he will bring suit for damages
against Albert Tanner. who caused his
arrest.
Mrs. Dewey and the Topeka friends
of Mr.. Holbrook are confident he will
be able to clear himself. The evidence
is so sriyial and cireamstantial That
they are satisfied the case against him
will be dropped.

Held for the Murder of Mrs.
Ocey Snead.
THREE UNDER ARREST
All Women Members of Her
Family in Jail.
Handwriting Experts Busy With
the Case.

New York, Dec. 1T.-The suicidal
mania" of Ocey Snead is apparently
the defense relied upon by the three
members of the Wardlaw family ar
rested in connection with her myster-
ious death.
Despite the fact that prison bars
now hold all the women members of
the family in which the bath tub vic

grieving herself to death over the dis
appearance of her husband, as Mrs.
Caroline B. Martin, her mother, in

state of helplessness, as is one of the

ways in which she intended to do away

held to await extradition to New Jer-

and the first person apprehended in

the tragedy occurred, fearing a grue-

stairs. Mrs. Mary Snead, who was
taken into custody late yesterday,
maintained reticence in her cell in the
Tombs prison where she spent the
night, and a statement from her was
hardly expected until her arraignment,
