The habit of wearing storm coats

injurious for the reason that they

very well, but to wear one as cover

The wearing of furs, heavy wraps

IOWA MAN
SLOWLY TURNS
TO stone
STARTED With STIFF NECK
Drinks Liquids Through His
Rigid Jaws

Omaha, Neb., December 11.-Frank
Worden of Colfax, Ia, will give $1,000
to any surgeon in the United States
who will break his back with anything
short of as ledge hammer. He spont
| last week in Omaha and was seen by a
number of physicians, but when he left
the city he carried his thousand dollars
with him.
| Worden is an ossifed mantle only
real one in the country. He is also
farmer and lives near Colfax, la. With
the exception of his eyes, his tJngue
and his arms from the elbow down, he
is one huge piece of bone, without a
Joint or hinge of any kind. His body
is as hard as stone and as rigid as a
piece Of steel Except as noted, he
can not move a single muscle of his en-
tire body. His wrists, fingers and fore
arm are all pliable, although Worden
says he can feel that his hands are get
ting little bit heavier than they were
formerly All day and all night he lies
straight and stiff, motionless. He can
not laugh; he can not even smile.
Eighteen years ago Worden was
farmer living near Colfax. One morn
ing he awoke with stiff neck. There
was no pain but he could not move his
head freely as had been his custom.
H paid no attention to it at first. But
the affliction grew worse and he finally
consulted the family physician.
Just a little Stiffness" said the
doctor. "That'll soon wear off"
But the stiffness did not pass away.
Worden went back to the doctor And
this time the doctor found something
that puzzled him. While making his
Examination he discovered that Worden
had lost practically all feeling in the
neck And then he called in another
doctor
The second physician was also puz-
zled. Looks like this fellow is turning
into a big gone" sal the new doctor
And soon they discovered that in fact,
Worden was actually turning to bone.
His flesh tissues were hardening
Other physicians and surgeons were
called in, but they were never able to
stop the ravages of this peculiar NAL
ady.
When Worden felt his jaws becom-
ing set, he placed small wedges OF
wood between his teeth, and in that
position the lower portion of his face
/ ncame rigid. In time the wedges were
removed and the teth were left about
half an inch part. Through this
aperture he is fed liquid foods He can
not masticate but he can swallow lik-
uids of any kind that are put into his
mouth
Eight years after the morning when
he discovered his stiff neck Worden's
feet and ankles were as rigid as those
of stone image. Years before that
time his legs has succumbed to the
strange disease and it was impossible
to use his hip joints, then his feet.
Surgeons say there is no regular cir
culation Of the blood through Worden's
badly, but that this flow has degenerate
ed into simply a seepage. In time ii
will cease altogether.
Worden lies on his back all the time
and he does not get weary His body is
not sore from its contact with the bed.
There are no bed sores" as is often
the case with chronic bed-ridden in
valids.

GEORGE WICKER RESIGNS
Having Other Plans in View Resigns
as Deputy Tax Collector After
Four Years Service.

George Wicker, who has so faith
fully and efficiently served the public
for the past four years in the capac-
ity of deputy tax collector for Brazos
county, has rendered his resignation
to Tax Collector w. Wipprecht to
take effect in few days. Mr.. Wicker
has made host of friends by his
strict attention to the duties of his
office and careful handling OF the
minute details so essential in his
work, and the people of the county,
as we'll as Mr.. Wipprecht, lose val
liable man by his resignation. When
questioned as to his resignation he
said that he had other plans In view
which will be announced at a later
date. and that he had never worked
under more pleasant conditions, or
for a more agreeable employer than
Mr.. Wipprecht, and that his resigna-
ton was caused solely by better
offer from financial standpoint.
Mr.. Wicker was raised in Brazos
county and has served in public office
for a number of years. He was con-
nected with the land office at Austin
for eight years as chief patent clerk,
and then served as deputy county
clerk here for four years prior to his
four years service as deputy tax col
lector, from which latter position he
is now resigning. He has demon
strated beyond the shadow of doubt
his complete mastery of the intri-
cacies of public accounts, and an
mate trait of dealing with the public
in a pleasing and satisfactory man.
ner, and whoever should be so for
tunate as to secure his services will
be the gamer.
Mr.. Wipprecht has not yet deter
mined upon Mr.. Wicker's successor,
but has several in view. He expressed
himself as deeply regretting the
resignation of Mr.. Wicker and spoke
of him in the highest terms, but felt
that he should not stand in his light
when better opportunities offered
themselves.
