Post Mortem in Paralysis Case

Mason City.-In order to determine
If possible the nature Of infantile pa
ralysis, a post norton examination
was made of the body of 12-year-old
girl, who died, it is thought, from
the disease. While the patient exhiz-
tied some of the symptoms of the
disease and died in much the same
way other victims of the malady have,
there was no paralysis present in any
part of the body.
The post norton was conducted
by DR.. Frost, the representative OF
the government here, assisted by local
physicians, and specimens were taken
and will be sent to Washington, D.
c., for analysis at the United States
hospital.
The child, which lived in the coun-
try, took i'll Sunday while attending
Sunday school session, and died
Tuesday night. Another victim, a
child of three years, showed all the
symptoms of infantile paralysis, and
was practically helpless. 1t also took
i'll Sunday while attending Sunday
school service with its parents, and
died Tuesday. In each case private
funerals were held and the homes
fumigated.

Des Moines department OF public safe
ty, who Is here camping with the Des

fight for the big show at Des Moines

Sioux City was rival contender
and 1t took hard fight to get 1t, but
there seems little room to doubt that
Des Moines has captured the plum,
although the business session will be
held later.
Superintendent Roc and the Des
Moines delegation said they are con-
fident that Des Moines can handle
the big tournament so as to have an
attendance of at least 10000. 1t is
estimated that 10000 saw the events
at Red Oak.
Fred and Mack, the crack team Of
No. 8. Des Moines, are the heroes
of the tournament. They galloped a
half mile in record-breaking time,
while the crew made the hitch and
laid $50 feet of hose in 1:16 fiat, a
new worlds record. This means $500
to Des Moines. Council Bluffs and
Clinton's second team tied for sec.
ond place in 1.16 2-5. Clinton's first

A COOL
PROPOSITION
And . Sure One.
The Body Does Not Feel Hest
Unpleasantly II 1t has
Proper Food
Gr'ape-Nuts

People can live IN q temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, BY
regulating the diet.
The plan Is to avoid meat entirely fol
breakfast; use goodly allowance 4
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls Of Grape-Nuts,
treated with little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meager amount Of butter, and one
cup of well-made Postum.
By this selection Of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot. car.
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result is very marked difference
in the temperature Of the body, and
to this comfortable condition Is added
the certainty Of ease and perfect diges-
tion, for the food being partially pre-
digested Is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
: Experience and experiment IN food,
and Its application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use Of and add materially
to the comfort Of the user. e.

MAY sOLVEMYsTERY
Mason City officers Get a Clue In
Henry Luckus Case
RAMSEY TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
Letter Written by Seventeen-Year'
Old Boy at AlIerton Leads to In.
quiry That May End In Ar.
rest Of Murderers.

Mason City, Ia, Aug. 11.-While on
q trip at Allerton. to run down q
clue to the murder of the late Henry
Luckus, whose dead body was found
in the woods west of the city limits
three weeks ago, Sheriff Holdren
struck a scent to the murder and in
cidentally unraveled a "black hand"
mystery that has been bothering the
officials at Allerton for several weeks.
While the supposed murderer OF
Luckus was not found, a clue was
traced to Benton, Mo-, where it was
lost, but which, it is expected will be
picked up later.
A few days after the murder OF
Luckus his mother received letter
from Allerton, signed Willard Ram.
sey, stating that he heard two men
talking at the Rock Island depot at
Allerton of a murder in Mason City,
and that it yielded poorly, as they
secured but $14. On returning home,
the letter stated, the writer picked
up a Des Moinesi paper and saw the
account of the murder that the vic.
tim had secured a check for $14 the
night before. This prompted Ramsey,
he said, to write the letter. Though
he was put in the sweat box for a
couple of hours by Sheriff Holdren
and the officers at Allerton, Ramsey
is said to have stuck to his story
without variation.
What lends color to the belief that
either Ramsey, who is but II and
said to be stepped in the dime novel
style Of literature, is taking, is ment-
ally deficient, or has been used by
some person or persons as cats
paw to extort money is the fact that
the handwriting of the letter received
here by Mrs. Luckus and containing
threats unless money is paid, are the
same. A careful comparison leaves
no doubt, the officers say.
Some weeks ago a prominent mer-
chant of Allerton received letter,
unsigned, stating that if $500 was
pldCSu Ou CSl Lalu evening al
certain place in his lumber yard
his yard would be burned. Other
business men received the same kind
of threatening letters, and all of them
turned them over to the police. The
officers and postal authorities have
been working on the thing for sew.
eral weeks without the faintest clue
as to the guilty party till the letter
received here had been shown them.
Just what will develop is yet difficult
to determine, but it has led to inter-
esting developments at any rate. Ram.
sey was taken into custody and will
be held till an examination into his
case can be made. Two men who ap.
piled for a job at the Rock Island
shops at Benton, Mo-, tally with the
description given by Ramsey of the
men he saw. Sheriff Holdren went
to Kansas City from Benton, but
found no trace.
