REFORMS BY
-" IOWA WOMEN.

Those women who had the good for.
tune to attend the recent board OF
health committee meeting Of the Iowa
Federation held in Des Moines certain.
ly received inspiration sufficient to
stir them to activity all through the
winter. The Iowa federation is be-
coming known all over the country
for the vital issues for which 1t
stands. Take for instance, the work
of the health committee, at the head
of which is Mrs. J. W. Cory Of Spen-
Ger. Mrs. Corys brilliant work few
years ago, assisted by her untiring
collea CUES, was largely instrumental
in bringing about the passage OF GER
tain pure food laws in this state.
The health beard has been divided
into three sections; the first to have
charge of social hygiene and baby
health contests; the second to work
with and through state, county and To-
cal authorities. including the state
board of health, county supervisors
school boards, and city councils and
the third to work through literature,
press and study outlines.
Small wonder is it that public senti'
ment is aroused, for the committee
has worked through such crying needs
as the necessity of clean water; clean
milk; the inspection of schools, ex.
aiming the eyes, with a view to eye
strain from conditions, and also de-
fects in eyesight, adenoids, throat,
nose, ear and teeth; the preservation
of infant life; flies and microbes; the
public drinking cup; sanitation and
ventilation of school houses; the tub.
erculosis stamp; the hospital plan for
Iowa; segregation Of insane patients
from those suffering only from nerv'
Gus breakdowns in all private sani
tariums for the cure Of nervous dis
eases; clean warehouses, diaries
stores. delivery wagons; clean habits
and clean clothing of the employees;
close inspection OF slaughter houses
leading to municipal ownership of the
buildings, the study of divorce condi
tons; food sanitation, and especially
the retention of DR.. Wiley in his Of
fee; children's play grounds; ex
pectoration ordinances; books on
health topics in our public Libraries

RARE $40 GOLD PIECE, SECURED
FROM SAFE, WAS CHANGED
HERE.
DID NOT HAVE MOTTO
Double Eagle Was One Minted in 1907
Without Words, "ln God We
Trust; Discovery Made at
Bank Was Dramatic.

A twenty dollar gold piece, secured
by three yeggmen in blowing up the
safe of the Avery Supply Co. at Avery
Thursday night, was changed for one
of the yeggman, supposed to have
been a miner, Jack White, yesterday
morning at 10: 80 o'clock at a shooting
gallery on East Main street. The tell
tale double eagle failed to bear the
motto. "In God We Trust" and was
one of the very few minted by the
government in 1907. The discovery
was made by Assistant Cashier Fred
Dimmitt at the Ottumwa National
bank yesterday afternoon at 1:3C
o'clock under most peculiar circum
stances. The police were Immediately
notified and searched the city the en-
tire afternoon for the three safe blow
ers, but their efforts proved unavail
ing It is thought that the trio left
the city sometime yesterday after
noon. The find was suppressed yes
terday that the police might be en-
abled to capture the robbers if pos
sible Had they discovered that they
were known the yeggmen would have
eliminated their danger of capture by
distance instantly. > .s...... ..rr
The peculiar discovery was almost
dramatic. Patrolman Lightner was
receiving Instructions from the police
station in regard to the safe blowing
and was told That's the three yeggmen
might come to Ottumwa. He was
given a description of the rare gold
piece, which would be of the greatest
value in running down the safe blow.

JAMES MURPHY DIES At GALES
euRG-REslDED HERE OVER
FIFTY YEARS. ,s<&2-

Death removed one of Wapello
county's oldest pioneers, wnen James
Murphy answered the final summons
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Mary Faye, in Galesburg, ILL.,, last ev-
ening at S o'clock. Word Of his death
was received by relatives here today.
Mr.. Murphy became a resident OF
Wapello county before 1860 and had
lived here until two months ago when
he left to spend his last days with MS
daughter in Galesburg. He was 90
years of age. When he came to Wap-
clio county he became farmer and
was respected and esteemed by the
entire community. He retired from
the fields twenty years ago. He was
q faithful member of st. Patrick's
Catholic church when living here.
In the past few years, he has been
deeply concerned about his funeral
and before his leaving for Galesburg
frequently visited c. T. Sullivan to
talk over the arrangements once more.
He would tell of the kind of casket
he desired and the particular points
of his burial. The remains will be
brought back to this city for burial
Mr.. Murphy leaves four daughters,
Mrs. Mary Faye, of Galesburg, Misses
Lou and Anna of Salt Lake City, and
Miss Irene Of Chicago. Two sons also
survive, William A., st. Joseph, Mo-.
and Mike Of Aurora, I'LL. Mr.. Muir
phys wife Deborah, died in Ottumwa,
% years ago.
The funeral services will be held
Monday morning at Corpus Christi
church In Galesburg. The remains
will arrive in Ottumwa on Burlington

ers if discovered in time. The absence
of the motto was the telltale of the
gold piece. He was using the tele-
phone beside the cashiers window in
the Ottumwa National bank While
discussing the gold piece with Desk
Sergeant Morrissey, Cashier Dimmitt
took the double eagle over the counter
in deposit. He examined it when he
heard the conversation and the motto
was absent. He tossed it to Patrolman
Lightner and then the search of the
police began. -, ~
White Changed Money.
In all probability the three yegg-
men came to Ottumwa Immediately
after blowing the safe. One of them
entered the shooting gallery and asked
for change for a twenty-dollar gold
piece. Jack White accommodated him
thinking him miner, the great ma
jority of whom are paid in gold. A
short time later White rid him
self Of the gold piece at the D. B.
Davis drug store. The latter brought
the yellow coin into the bank two
hours later in his deposit. Mr.. White
was Immediately notified by Chief of
Police Beeman Of the meaning of the
gold piece and without delay White,
In company with the chief, began to
search for the man from whom he had
received it. He was able to give but
ialneagre description of the fellow, but
asserted he would know him i'm
mediately should he see him. But the
search proved unayailing.
The police are keeping up their
watch today, but it is thought to be
useless, as they men have in all proba-
bility left the city for parts unknown.
Although there was but one in the
shooting gallery when White received
the gold, information received from
Avery .convinces the police that there
were three of them in the city.
Albians Join Search. +
Sheriff W. B. Griffin and Chief of
Police Ed Webb Of Abba came to OF.
tumwa yesterday afternoon in answer
to summons of Chief Beeman, and
joined in the search. They stated that
the safe blown by the robbers was not
strong one and when the nitro.
glycerine exploded the top of the safe
dropped down upon the bottom, thus
hiding about 500 which the robbers
failed to secure. ..

BABY's TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn. and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open, and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell OF. and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come of when I removed his
shirt.
4 ''We tried a great many remedies.
but nothing would help him. till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. I think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"
