BERLIN, April 5.-That luxury
credit granted women has caused
general unhealthy condition in bust
ness in Berlin" was the explanation
and defense Of the proprietor of a |
large millinery establishment which
has just failed for $4,000. The great
er part of the liabilities proved to be
debts contracted by women of the
middle and wealthy classes which
they failed to pay. The proprietor
said that some of his customers had
not paid for their hats for three years
or in some cases merely paid small
sums on account. He declared that
many women claimed they were afraid
to tell their husbands how much their
gorgeous hats cost. mention sum
sometimes only 25 percent Of the real
price and promise to save the differ
ences from their allowance for the
house. AS they followed the same
plan With silk hosiery, fine lingerie,
and dressmakers, there was never
anything left from their allowance to
pay anybody.
VIENNA, April 5.-"Women-tha
is, voluntary nurses-are absolutely
worthless in war" This declaration
by Dr. B. Breitner, one of the return
ing German surgeons from the Balkan
war, in an address before the Imper,
ial and Royal Society of Physicians
and Surgeons, has created a furore
among the women Of Austria. DR..
Breitner denounced the unframed vol
unteer nurses In unmeasured .erms.
Our experience demonstrated the
uselessness of the women, who volun-
teered because they wanted to call
themselves war nurses" said the
surgeon. ut wasn't merely incapacity
but even the will and desire to be OF
some use, was utterly lacking. They
never reported for duty at the time
set. The surgeons always had to be-
gin their work alone in the morning
j in the various stations and hospitals
for wounded. We had to wash the
patents and make their beds. While
| we sewed up tattered clothing for the
wounded, the women stood about and
| firted with lightly wounded officers.
They did not want to soil their fin
gers
BERLIN, April 5.Haying failed in
his effort to throw out" his Lessee,
Herr Sohst from his Cadinen farm,
the kaiser is now offering Herr Sohst
$4,000 to get out" The kaiser had
declared In a humorous speech before
the agricultural council, in which he
told of his experience as farmer
that he had thrown out" his renter
because he was mo good" and he pro
/ posed to run the farm himself. But
the renter, who had fifteen years
4 lease, came back" at the kaiser and
; the latter came off second best in the
court eviction proceedings. Now the
/ kaiser is willing to pay Herr Sohst. j
/ he will only leave.
Farmer Sohst has suffered nerv
GUS collapse because of his set.o witt

WHAT CLEAN BLOOD MEANS.

They used to accuse DR. A. B. simp-
son, one of the famous physicians of
Indiana. of having a, cure-all because
his great reputation was established
largely on one prescription. the most
effective Alternative or blood purifier
known.
No" he would remark, 1T will not
cure consumption, nor typhoid. nor
any one of a hundred common dis
eases. II simply purifies the blood.
but it does that very thoroughly"
What are the symptoms Of poisoned
impure blood? They range all the
way from the dreadful syphilis to a
muddy complexion. They include in
fammatory rheumatism, catarrh. scrof-
ula. eczema, erysipelas. pimples. boils,
running sores and a number OF similar
Affections. All these yielded readily
to DR.. Simpsons treatment. And dur
ing the forty years this preparation
has been on the market as DR.. A. B.
Simpsons Vegetable Compound. 1t has
never failed in a single case. The
very worst cases of syphilis have been
cured as we'll as all the other blood
diseases named above-and the same
compound has always given clear,
clean compilations to those, otherwise
in good health.

WHIRL OF THE WORLD.
What Would Happen il We Crashed
Into Another World.

We are spinning through space ut
the rate of more than Il thousand miles
a minute. What would happen were
we to meet another world moving at
the same speed?
In the first place. the heat generated
by the shock would be so great that
both worlds would be transformed into
gigantic balls of vapor many times the
size of the earth today. This. however.
might not happen If the inside Of the
earth is composed Of soldier and colder
matter than scientists believe it to be-
Although there is small chance of
any such aerial collision taking place.
scientists have already calculated the
probable results fairly accurately. One
has expressed the amount OF heat that
would be generated in this way. 1t
would be sufficient. he says. to melt
boil and completely vaporize mass OF
ice 700 times the bulk Of both the col
liding worlds-an ice planet 100000
miles in diameter.
Scientists have often considered the
possibility that the end of the earth
would come about In this way.
Certain it is that planets as great as
the earth have been destroyed by com
ing into collision with other huge bod
ies--New York Press.

SPRING FASHIONS.

In the March Woman's Home Com
panion, Grace Margaret Gould, fash
ion editor of that periodical. writes an
article on spring fashions in which she
gives the latest news. The principal
point OF her report is that moderation
is to rule in fashions this year. Fol
lowing is an extract:
Seriously. Paris is getting scared.
She has gone from the extravagant 10

to go to the indecent. But right here
and now, the American woman is say
ing no: and it is a big. emphatic no.
too, let me tell you. Paris has heard
Oh, yes indeed. she can take a hint in
fashion as we'll as give hint in
fashion, Paris is devoted TO shining
American gold. and let me tell you
that the lure of the latter. and the
prospect of not getting il, has a quick
and telling effect on this same unique
originality. Paris's pocketbook nerve,
which is her controlling nerve, is high
ly sensitive to a frost.
so the dict has gone forth that
moderation will be the keynote OF the
spring fashions of 1913"

Calamity Than Crop Failure

thousand bushels, and the aggregate
cost was around s12, 10000.
Optimistic Feeling.
The optimistic feeling continued
right up to the harvesting time, and
when the first buyers appeared offer
ing 40 cents a bushel, many of the
growers laughed at them.
ITS a hold-up game the buyers are
springing," said the onion growers
They want us fellows to pay for the
new storages." And they mentioned
that last year, the buyers offered only
IS cents at first and the price scared
to 1925 later.
Forty cents, humph! That's no
price for onions. I'll hold mine a
while" was the current remark
The buyers did not seem to be very
anxious to pay even 40 cents, in fact,
it soon became apparent that buyers
were conspicuous by their absence
No one sold for 40 cents; but when 80
cents was offered optimism had cpl
lepsy.
Even when 80 cents a bushel was
offered there were many who refused
to sell; because it had cost them near
ly that much to raise the crop. There
were so many, however, that began to
shake in their shoes, and who were
anxious to get the 80 cents before the
price went still lower-as it showed
symptoms of doing-that it was not
an uncommon sight to see from five
to ten onion growers trailing a buyer
| saw one buyer moisten his finger on
his lips and then touch the tire of a
farmers buggy as a woman does in
testing the heat of fiat iron, indicat-
ing that the farmer had come in SO
fast that the tires were hot.
Stampede Resulted.
The report was circulated that the
price would drop to 25 cents bushel:
a stampede resulted, and the buyers
refused to buy at any price. Those
who had first class storage onions
We're finally offered 20 cents, and the
grower was glad to get that, because
cold weather was approaching rapidly
and he had no place to store his
onions from the freezing weather.
Several individual growers shipped
car loads of onions 20 St. Louis, Mo. D.;
Louisville, Ky; Chicago, ILL.,; Ham,
mond, Ind, and wherever they thought
it possible to sell them. The returns
on these car loads ranged from ten
cents to % cents a bushel A few OF
the growers went to the cities with
their cars, hired wagons and teams,
and peddled their onions on the
streets; but, even by doing that, the
net returns, in some instances, amount
ed to only 10 cents a bushel
The three storages here are full of
onions, some are still in the cribs
cellars are full, many old buildings

have been turned into temporary
storages and filled, and there are sew
eral hundred bushels buried, and there
is no market
Have you ever experienced a con-
dition of this kind? If you havn't, can
you imagine what a calamity IL is?
All that work of producing, all that
work of harvesting, all that work of
storing and then to be unable to sell
at price that pays only little more
than the cost of handling after the
crop is harvested or perhaps be unable
to sell at all. A crop failure does not
compare with such a condition.
What is the cause for all this" you
ask
/ do not know, they tell us that it
is because of overproduction. 1t is
claimed that many of the other onion
growing sections cannot grow large
crops only during the years of heavy
rainfall and this year they have GER
tainly had the moisture. We can raise
good onion crops here in the dry years
as we'll as in the wet years because
our soil retains moisture.
Business Affected.
Can you imagine the affects of this
onion situation has on business here
Remember that the banks were loan
out to the limits early in the season.
clothing stores, dry goods stores, hard
ware stores, grocery stores and even
furniture stores extended credit freely
to the onion growers who were posi-
tive Of obtaining big returns from
their venture. Land was bought on
short term mortgages, the mortgagee
little dreaming of the results as they
are. Many of the merchants borrow
ed money SO that they could carry the
poorer class, and many of the others
until the onions We're harvested. The
majority of these people are unable to
pay, and it will take them a long time
to get caught up again-a whole lot
of them never will pay. The shortage
of money has caused a decrease in
business, and worl. is scarce because
there is little money in circulation
with which to pay
To hear one onion growers story is
to hear practically all of them. The
losses being in proportion to the
amount invested. One man told me
that when he began work on his onion
crop this spring he had $4,000 in the
bank; he now owes the bank $4,000
His onions, about 5000 bushels
brought him something like $4,000.
Few Made Money
There are a few OF the onion grow
ers that came out ahead-a very few,
however. They are the ones who sold
early and who harvested big Yields
something like 500 and 500 bushels to
the acre. An onion grower can make
good money at 80 cents a bushels for
his onions if he has a good yield.
Those who placed their onions in
storage are anxiously awaiting the
pleasure of the market, and they are
also hoping. The question with them
is: will we get enough to pay our
storage rent and little besides, or
will we have to pay storage rent and

PREBLE INF Urinary
BLACK Frank" Does Not
Talk-He Sleeps On
An Iron Bed.

Shy Of Company and Spends

palladium Specially

EATON, O., Feb. 26.-For more than
IS years BLACK Frank" has been an in
mate at the Preble county infirmary.
During all this time he has never spok-
en- a word, hardly uttered a sound.
Many years ago he sneezed, and was
himself apparently surprised. And
since then, If he ever felt like it, the
sneeZe was suppressed.
He is BLACK Frank" possibly the
most interesting inmate of any charita-
BILE institution in the whole state.
Half wrapped in a. thin little blanket,
Frank" was found when a babe in a
deep wood in the country, northwest
of Eaton. He was taken in charge by
the county, shortly after the poor
farm had been established. Efforts to
get trace of his parents failed after a
long search, and where he was born
was never learned.
He was given the name Frank" by
another of the inmates at the institu-
ton. Being rather dark complexioned
BLACK" was added to the name
Prank" and he has ever since been
called "Black Frank"
Frank" seemingly never liked to
look like man and refuses to wear
tried to dress him up, but always he
would tear into pieces any clothes 9th
er than his "sacque."
Notwithstanding his unusually good
appetite, to which appeals rotten ap-
pies, cigar stumps and old guilds, his
health has been remarkable and never
in his life has he spent an i'll day. He
does not use knives or forks, but pre-
fers to eat with his fingers off tin
plate.
After violating the laws laid down to
keep ones stomach in good condition,
he climbs onto his little iron bed, and
with his head upon an iron bar, sleeps
like log. Despite the soundness with
which he sleeps, snap of ones fin
gers brings him to his feet, ready to
obey the orders of any one. If request
ed to dance a little he will comply,
and then retire and in one minute be
fast asleep. BLACK Frank" has an idea
that no one can make his bed, and
daily attends to the matter himself.
He likes to do work and when asked
to do anything his face l1ghtenS up
with a broad smile. When he is not
given any particular task he busies
himself in placing into neat piles
small pebbles, or strewing them uni
formly along on the ground. 1t is sell
dom he ever throws down stone, but
instead bends over and places it care
fully on the ground. Chicken feathers
and other small articles he finds in
the yard will always be carefully plac-
ed by him out in the middle of the
road in front of the institution.
He is shy of the company of other
inmates and passes the time alone. Be
cause of his many strange little traits
and his prompt and willing obeyance,
BLACK Frank always has been liked
by superintendent in charge of the in
stitution.
