In an interview accorded upon his return
from a lons trip. Or. +. Turner. the physi-
clan. scientist and traveller, widely known
Tor his scientific researches. and whose
writings have brought him international
reputation, gave come valuable information
to those who were astounded by his loss
OF more than 100 pounds of excessive fat
since they last saw him. They found 4;
difficult. indeed. to recognize in the slen-
der. muscular and perfectly proportioned
torn OF DIR. Turner to-day. the same man
whom only few months previously they
knew as semi-invalid so enormously Fat
that he could hardly walk.
When questioned concerning his hoalth
and the remarkable change In his appear
ance. Dr. Turner said:
MY discovery came about during my trip
and in this way: When SEEKING data for
some literary work. found n reference to
the manner in which the Japanese were
said TO casily overcome any tendency to
take on superhuous flesh. 1t waseasily ap-
parent from observation that the Japs arc
comparatively heavy eaters and that their
starchy and therefore the most rat form

why. in spite Of these facts. the natives OF
Japan. both men and women, always pre-
sent such a slender. trim. neat appearance.
Although corsets rare In tina. country,
the women there have beautiful figures that
any American woman might we'll envy, and
the japanese men have strength and pow
eTs OF endurance that arc p!ovcrbal. After
dliGent inquiry about the cause OF this. I
became more than convinced thaT They

method was a matter OF life or death 10

BURGLARS AT NEW HAMPTON.
Climb Through Rear Transom and
Get Away With $500 Worth
OF Clothing.

I A bold burglary on Thursday night
brought a less to the clothing firm OF
Motulsky & Co., OF upwards OF $500
Articles taken from the store were
beaver lined, astrakan collar over
coat valued at 1925, two cloth over
coats, two slip-ons, two suit cases
and hat.
The burglar entered the store by
slightly displacing a couple of the
iron bars that are across the trans ON
of the rear door. He reached the
transom by climbing up the iron bars
on the rear window until he was high
enough to step over onto the small
shed that serves as rear entrance
and the roof of which comes right
up to the door transom. The person
who went through the bars must
have been very slender, however, as
the most space he could get by turn
ing the bars was about five inches.
A large man and small COM
panion were in the store that day,
and ii is remembered that while one
of them was looking at goods the
other went around through the store,
and it is supposed he was taking a
lcok at the layout" preparatory to
the nights work.
Tie spot where the entrance to
the building was made is only few
feet from the Chestnut avenue side
walk, and the burglars were evil

Ortberg met with a most distressing
accident the first of the week. while
driving fractions horse on the pub
lie highway. A part of the harness
broke, allowing the buggy in which
MIR. Ortberg was riding, TO run upon
the heels of the colt The young
horse became unmanageable, and
Mr.. Ortberg was thrown against a
picket fence. The bones in his right
leg were splintered in numerous
places between the ankle and knee
joints. Mr.. Ortberg was removed 10
a nearby farm house and physician
summoned. The accident will con-
fine him to his home for several
weeks.

WATER WORKS AT ossrAN.
Bee Makes Plea For City Water. Plant
i'm Neighboring Town.

Friday evening, between FIVE and
six O'Clock, the gasoline lighting sys-
TEN in Olsen's drug store sprung a
! leak and nearly resulted in a bic
blaze. The pressure from the tank
forced the oil to the ceiling, which
was burning crisply. Mr.. Olsen had
the presence of mind 10 tell Mr.
Ross, his jeweler, TO shut the valve
on the tank, thus reducing the pres
sure Mr.. Ross then threw pail OF
water on the blaze, extinguiShing il
Immediately. Considerable damage
was done to some of the stock, such
as books, etc, but aside from this
the damage was light
Last week we called attention to
the urgent need of a good system of
water works for Ossian, and the fire
at Olsen's demonstrates that what
We said regarding a system for the
protection against fire, is timely.
This time of the year is most danger
Gus, and, while it would be impos-
sible TO install a system this fall or
winter it is up 10 the people, how
ever, 10 give this matter serious con-
sideration and install q system early
in the spring.
This matter has been put to the
vote Of the people several times since
Ossian was founded, hut each time
the proposition failed to carry. Why?
Because il was not put up to the
people fairly and squarely. When
the proposition IS put to them in a
manner that is clear and honest,
it will carry unanimously AS stated
last week, we Will write several
articles on this subject, giving good
reasons why system of water works
for the protection against fire, and
for domestic use, should be installed
In the course of time we will also
give the approximate cost OF a sys-
TEN, the amount each tax payer in
Ossian would be assessed, showing
that You will not be overburdened
by taxation, as some of those opposed
to progress would lead you to believe.
Give this your attention, now. To
install system after the destruction
of portion of the town, would be
like locking the barn after the horse
has been stolen.-Bee.

Quack Doctor Defends Legal Action.

John Till, the noted or notorious
plaster doctor" who did rushing
business in Wisconsin and a dis
penser of dope for the cure of prac-
tically all human ills, has been
brought into the lime light recently
as defendant in suit brought by a
cook in a club at Minneapolis for
100000 damages alleged to have
been received in treatment Till gave
him. In the hearing of the case
good many interesting things were
brought out which heretofore have
been kept hidden from public knowl-
edge. In the matter of THIS
finances it was brought out that
when his popularity was at it's
height he was getting $4,000 per
month in free-will offerings from his
patients, while later the amount re-
ceived dwindled to 81, 900, and today
he is getting less than that. His
patients have decreased in number
from 5000 month to 1900 at
present Regarding his methods
Till stated that for diagnosing stom-
ach trouble he would feel of pa
tents neck and find out whether
there were seven nerves on the left
side and eight on the right side, and
by feeling" of these nerves, he said,
he was able to determine whether
the patient was suffering from stom-
ach trouble or rheumatism. How
ever, Till admitted he couldn't tell
the names of the nerves. For cat
arrh, he used oil of rosemary; for
kidney troubles, six drops of tur-
pentine in a spoonful of sugar; for
stomach troubles, a mixture of tine
ture of aloes and stomach bitters;
while his plasters were made of one
part of olive oil, three parts of red
kerosene and two parts of Bernstein
OIL The salve which he used was
made from boiled croton oil beans,
to which he applied the pious term
beans of Christ. Usage Press.

Stick Buried in Abdomen.

Usage, Ia, Oct 19.-While play
ing with companion in some woods
about a mile from home, Gilman
Horgen, the 14-year-old son of Gil
bert Horgen of this city, met with
a horrible accident.
The little boy had climbed up on
a stump and then jumped off back
ward. AS he did so he landed astride
a long stick that had been jabbed in
to the ground. The stick entered
his body between his legs, running
up a distance of nine inches and
puncturing the outer lining of his
stomach. A piece of the stick about
an inch and quarter in diameter
and five inches long remained in the
wound.
In this condition the boy walked
TO the house of neighbor nearly a
mile away, climbing through fences
on the way. When he arrived at the
house he was nearly exhausted and
doctors were Immediately summoned
Suffering acute pain, the little fell
low was hustled into an auto and
taken TO the hospital, where an in
cision was made and the stick and
portions of the cloth of the trousers
which had been carried in with ii
were removed.
Unless unlocked for complications
arise the result will not be perman-
ent injury, although it will be several
weeks before the boy will be able to
leave his bed

A Fatal Adventure.

Iowa City, Oct. 21.---Joseph Sauer,
aged "a, is believed to be dying, as
a consequence of his adventure in
the Iowa river, Tuesday night. as
chronicled in these dispatches yes
terday. The man, stricken by par
alysis, lay all night, exposed, partly
on the bank, and partly in the
stream. He has been unconscious in
the hospital most of the time since
he was found. and is not likely to
live many hours. There is no evil
dence that he tried to commit suicide
although his one-time effort in that
direction, when he cut his throat
with a razor, led the police to believe,
before they ascertained all of the
facts, that his act was suicidal.
