Lured from their places or em-

and were arrested last evening by
Probation Officer S. n. Titus in the

were preparing to send telegram
They gave their names as Bessie Ad-

officials had been asked to arrest the
girls by a ministed In Kenton, who
said they had run away.
The girls are being held in the

officials from the Girls Industrial

Yesterday afternoon, the Kenton
minister, whose name could not be
learned, telephOned to Probate Judge
Spencer asking him to care for the
girls, whom he thought to be in the
city prison. Spencer learned that the
girls were not in the prison, but that
Major Titus was notified and their
arrest soon followed
The minister came to Marion this
morning and had In his possession a
letter from the Marion man, who had
written for the girls to come to Ma
rlon. The letter was In violation of
the postal laws as vulgar language

mans motive in having the girls come
to this city was not for the girls good.

genuine interests prevented him from
regarding any duty on board as too

To Escape Appendieiti..

A simple way to prevent appendi-
citis was recently described by a well
known physician. Every night and
morning, he advised, go on your knees,
bend backward until you sit on your
heels, and at the same time bend the
upper part Of your body forward as
far as possible. Do this six to ten
times. You may vary the exercise by
standing with heels together and toes
pointing straight forward and then
STOPPING into a sitting posture until
the knees touch the chest. Do this
also six.o eight times slowly. The
effect is to stir up the intestines in
the neighborhood of the vermiform
appendix and to keep it free from the
obstruction which is the primary cause
of Observation-Disclosures Answers.

Wf0 season every year 1t is GUS
tomary to select the leading
players from the teams east
and west to form what is called an
all American team.
The men selected for this eleven
have been picked not because Of their
playing in one contest, but the selec-
ton is based on the performances of
the players in all the struggles after
q careful and thorough review Of their
efforts. While there is always a diff
ference Of opinion in these selections.
they must be made without prejudice.
and the work Of each player must be
considered carefully that he may re-
ceive full credit for his work.
For the first time in the history of
football Yale is not represented by a
man on the eleven. The writer has
seen most Of the important games and
has gone over the records Of all the
games closely and has been unable to
find one instance Of where a wearer of
the Blue has done any brilliant work
that would warrant giving him a place
on the team.
Good ends were plentiful this season.
the most conspicuous being White of
Princeton and Smith Of Harvard.
White will always occupy a promi-
nent place in footballs hall Of fame.
It was his two spectacular runs. one
for eighty-fve yards and the other for
sixty-fve yards. which brought victory
to Princeton first overHarvard and then
over Yale. And they were not fukes
either. 1t was his nose for the ball."
