Slap In the Face.

BERLIN, Aug. 16.-The German
government has given the hundreds
of women employed by the state rail-
ways a slap in the face. It has told
them that they are impolite and dis
courteous to the travelling public, and
the inference is drawn that women
are untitled for coming into daily con-
tact with the public.
Railway ticket selling is almost
wholly done by women in Germany.
Their slowness, brusqueness, inatten-
tion and tendency to sharp. curt re-
plies, has been the cause of much
complaint. Eating a sandwich with
one hand while selling a ticket with
the other or liesurely finishing cup
of coffee while score of persons are
in line waiting for tickets, has been
a common occurrence. Now the head
of the state railways has issued an
order that the lady ticket sellers must
attend to business and above all be
polite and courteous under penalty
of dismissal

WILL BE BROUGHT
HERE FOR BURIAL
Clyde Chapman, Born In Keokuk
and Died at Los An
geIes, Cal.

The remains of Clyde Chapman,
who recently died at his home at Los
Angeles, California, are expected to
arrive in Keokuk Tuesday or We'd
nesday for final interment here.
Mr.. Chapman was a remarkably
popular young man and dearly beloved
by his near relatives. He was a
grandson of Mrs. Helena E. Scherer
of 1927 Fulton street, his mother be-
ing daughter of Mrs. Scherer.
The lamented young man was born
in Keokuk and was in the twenty
seventh year Of his age. When about
four years old the family went to
Fort Madison, where they resided for
a time and removed to Kansas City,
and about three years ago they went
to Los Angeles, where he continued
to reside until his death. He was a
skilled jeweler and was conducting a
prosperous business in that line
when he was attacked with the fatal
illness which ended in his death.
His grandmother and other rela-
tives and friends are very much sad
dened by the premature passing away
of this popular young man, whose
young life, SO full Of promise and
hope, has ended just as 1t was begin
ming to develop into the most crafty
ing success and usefulness.

DEATH
FROM BICHLORIDE
Victim Suffers fortunes and So Far
There is No Means Of
Offering Aid.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 1S.-"T should
advice anyone seeking flower strewn
path to the Great Beyond to leave
bichloride of mercury alone. / can
conceive Of no more horrible death
than from the effects of bichloride. /"
DR.. l.. M. Van Mater, prominent
Denver physician today issued this
warning to "would-be suicides"
through the United Press. In doing
so he admitted that the increase in
the number of persons taking this
means of ending their lives, is giving
medical men all over the country.
much concern The use of bichloride,
said DR.. Van Mater, has alarmingly
increased following the death of G..
Sanders Walker, millionaire banker
of Macon, Ga, who took the poison
by mistake and lived for several days
afterwards with full knowledge Of his
approaching end.
ut is an erroneous opinion that
death by bichloride is painless said
DIR. Van Mater today. violent pains
follow the spreading OF the poison
through the system. 1t is a corrosive
poisoning and naturally 1t is holly ir-
ritant. There Is no known antidote
after the poison has had a fair start,
except albumen-usually the white of
an egg-which surrounds and holds
inactive the poison If it is given soon
enough and IL the quantity of the
poison taken is not too large.
1.-THE reason that there Is no means
of coping with this terrible poison
after 1t has left the stomach is that
the mercury dissolves and permeates
the system SO rapidly. In action 1t is
very much like arsenic but far more
painful. The effect of mercurial bich-
loride is much similar in some re-
spects to the effects of an overdose
OF calomel. In some cases the teeth
are loosened. the sufferer undergoes
violent paroxysms of pain, vomiting
spells and conyulisons.
How the idea got abroad that bich-
loride of mercury poisoning was pain

stocks made any net gains of real i'm
portance, but the tendency was To-
