LEG A MASS OF HUMOR

About seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
Just above my ankle. It irritated me
so that began to scratch 1t, and 1t
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and 1t
was completely undermining our
health. / lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence Of company,
I would have to scratch 1t until I had
the blood running down into my shoe.
! simply cannot describe my suffer
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss Of sleep, both
to myself and wife Is simply indie
scribable on paper and one has to ex-
perience 1t to know what 1t is.
II tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but I might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
rs bad II not worse. I had given up
hope of ever being cured when was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while l began to see change, and
after taking dozen bottles Of Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day I was born. Now after lapse Of
six months with no signs Of recur-
renee feel perfectly safe in extend
ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for ME. I shall always recommend
them to my friends. w. H. White,

CHIEF YEAGER BACK
Denies Charges Filed by Secretary
of Anti-SaIoon League
COUNCIL TO HEAR CASE TODAY
Yeaser Was Deposed Pending An In.
Northumberland Refused to
Gust Roe--A. 3. Elliott Act
ing as Chief.
COUNCIL TO HEAR CASE TODAY

Des Moines, Aug. 15.-This after.
noon at o'clock the council will
take up it's investigation of the
charges filed by the Iowa Anti-saloon
league against Police Chief George
Yeager. Pending the trial of the case
the council at its meeting Saturday
to fill the temporary vacancy, will
be in charge of the police department
and according to statement made
will do everything in his power to
assist in the ferreting out of crime
and the collection of evidence.
Because those who brought the
charges against the police head re-
gard Elliott as strong and fearless
man, they are very hopeful over the
prospect that there will be nothing
withheld in the police department and
that the hearing will be an impartial
one. For time Saturday it appear.
ed that it would be impossible to Sc
cure temporary chief of police
whose interests would not be warped,
and it was the determination to get
such man that led the council to
go outside of the police department
entirely and take a disinterested citi-
zen.
Had the council not designated
successor to Yeager, A. G. Miller
night captain and assistant chief of
police, would have assembled to his
place. This Roe strenuously opposed,
for Miller was police chief under the
Hamery regime, and Roe has sus-
picion that Miller was partly respon-
sible for the charges being brought
against Yeager. 1t has been claimed
that Miller informed Traffic Police
man Alb Day of improper conditions
at the station and that Day conveyed
his intelligence to those who are
prosecuting Roe. Day, under Hamery,
was in Miller's present position-that
of night captain. Because of the cir
cumstances, Roe claimed it would be
as unfair from his standpoint to have
Miller in charge of the police de-
partment, as it would be from the
other peoples to have Yeager.
The council refused to approve
councilman John MacVicar's sugges-
ton that Roe be temporarily removed
as superintendent of public safety,
and the mayor placed in charge Of
his department.
Confident that he will be able to
substantiate his charges that Police
Chief George Yeager knew of the
operation of gambling dens, houses
prostitution and liquor Joints in
Des Moines, but refused to modest
hem, w. c. Barber last night an
nounced that he would be ready to
nduct the prosecution at 2 o'clock
this afternoon-the hour set for
Yeager's trial before the council.

COAL MINER SHOOTS WOMAN
italian Shoots Six Times at Mrs.
Mary Manitina, Four of Which
Took Effect.

Des Moines, Aug. 15--Romanito
Riccieri, an italian coal miner, Sat
urday morning shot and seriously
wounded his one time sweetheart,
Mrs. Mary Manitina, aged "a years,
a boarding house keeper at the Della
ware mines near Berwick, five miles
north of the city. Mrs. Manitina lies
in serious condition at the Metho-
dist hospital but it is expected that
she will recover.
Sheriff Ben Ness of Polk county
and a posse of farmers and miners
from near Berwick spent Saturday
afternoon and evening in hunting for
the would-be murderer. Although the
members Of the posse several times
were close on the trail of Riccieri,
he was able to elude his pursuers
and has not yet been arrested.
The Italian shot at the woman six
times. Four of the shots took effect.
The refusal of Mrs. Manitina to
return his love is said to be the
cause of the Italians act. Saturday
morning he went to her home and
found her alone. According to the
story told by Mrs. Manitina, Riccieri
came to the house and demanded
that she get a divorce and marry
him, and when she refused, the Ital-
ian drew a revolver and began shoot
ing.
Thinking that the woman was dead,
Riccieri calmly walked away from
the house, going across a neighbor-
ing cornfield. Mrs. Manitina was
found by Miss Ida Cox, neighbor,
who notified the police.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Gent. Of Sufferers Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.

From several Investigations that
have been made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, 1t is estimated
that on an average about fifteen per
cent. of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the $4,000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, not less than 10000 are infected
with this disease. II the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to- tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found In
almost every state, and In the major
ity of cases the only sure remedy is
the destruction Of the old buildings
and the erection Of new ones.

MANY Babies Lose Lives,

An alarming death rate for babies
under one year of age has been es-
tablished in Iowa during the past
three months, according to DR.. Sum-
ner, secretary Of the Iowa state board
of health. He states that about 80
per cent of the babies born during
that period had died. He states also
that during the month of July thirty
one babies had died in Des Moines
alone as the result of cholera infant
UNI. This disease is caused in many
instances, he said, by impure milk.
