BURNED To DEATH
Woman Found Dead i'm "A Squalid
Home Near Mitchell.

Mitchell. Dec. 23.-In a tiny two
room farmhouse, a Mitchell physi-
clan found the charred remains OF
Mary Traenor, about As years of age,
lying in a bundle Of rags on the
floor. In the same room an imbecile
sister. Anna Traenor. was lying
asleep on a nearby couch.
I'm the other room of the miserable
home, where squalor and filth was al
most indescribable, a brother, John
|TraenOr, was tossing on the bed with
pneumonia. The fourth member of
tho family of two brothers and sisters
James Traenor, was lettering about.
half blind with an attack of alcoholic
neuphritis.
The case is one of the most re-
voting which has come to light in
Mitchell for many years. The four
people, all between 40 and so years
OF age, have been living in their
howell about a mile north of st.
Joseph's hospital for several years.
All were addicted to strong drink.
The brother, who is now i'll with
pneumonia and whom the physician
had called to see. is stone deaf. Tho
two sisters have been unsound in
mind for years.
Last summe the surviving sister,
Anna Traenor, broke her leg. The
physician called at that time to treat
her has told of the conditions which
he found then. of things which he
had believed impossible for human
beings to endure. The floor had ap-
~parently never been swept, chickens
and pigs were allowed to run through
the house. the bedding was a mere
bundle of rags and the food was in
describable.
According TO the remnants of the
story gathered by the doctor who
made the discovery of the woman's
body this morning. the bed clothing
OF Mary Traenor caught fire about
10 o'clock last evening from a Ian
tern placed on the floor 10 heat the
room. James Traenor saw the dim
glare of the flames and rushed into
the other room and threw a blanket
about the human torch. extinguishing
the blaze. The burning fragments of
clothing which he tore off he then
threw on the porch.
According to his story, he saw
that his sister was dead and thought
IL unnecessary to call for assistance.
He then left the body on the floor
and went back TO bed in the other
room. The sick brother. who could
hear nothing, did not know of the
death of his sister until he was awak-
ened by. the doctor this morning.
The remains we're brought in to
the Noble undertaking establishment
this morning. Because of the cir
cumstances surrounding the case, it
was decided that an inquest would
not be necessary.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS As
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
CIATED PRESS.

New York, Dec. Especial: The
German emperor, according TO late
advices by way of Copenhagen, has
gone TO the front in the western the
alter of the war, where the general
attempt by the allies TO force the Ger
mans backward has been going on
for several days.
Both German and French official
statements clearly show that opera
tions of great severity are in prog
ress, but they differ with regard 10
the results achieved. The French
claim advances all along the line. the
recapture by the British troops of
trenches previously lost and the re-
pulse of German attacks aimed at
the retaking OF trenches which have
fallen to the allies during the past
day or two. To the south of Noyon
also the French claim to have gained
a foothold in the first line of the
German trenches. No mention is
made by the French of any repulse
OF the allied forces.
The German official statement tells
of the dislodgment in the neighbor-
hood OF the canal of the Anglo-Bel-
gian troops and the capture of their
trenches after inflicting heavy losses
and taking prisoners. To the north
east of Chalons. In the neighborhood
OF Souain, also the Germans claim TO
have repulsed a fierce attack by the
French, who left many prisoners in
their hands and a large number of
dead in front OF their positions.
While all the world is awaiting the
outcome of the battles in Poland and
Galieia, few details are being made
public, probably because no definite
decisions have been reached. The
continuance of the German opera
tons in Poland is referred to in the
most recent Berlin bulletin, but the
relative positions of the opposing
forces is not mentioned.
The head of the general staff of
the Russian army issues a statement
from %Petrograd, however, warning
the Russian public against "the ma
levolent reports" during the past few
days concerning the condition and
strategic positions of the Russian
army.
The fact hat the Russian armies
have adopted a narrower front, it is
explained by this official, was the re-
suit Of a decision reached after full
consideration by the military author
tiles in view of the concentration in
front Of the Russians OF considerable
German forces.
A call for $150,000, goo of Great
Rritain's last war loan has been
made without disturbance to the
money rates in England.
No agreement has yet been reach
ed between the Washington govern
ment and England regarding the
right of Great Britain to search ships
leaving American ports which are
suspected of carrying co%ntraband.
Even though the American govern
ment assents to the examination of
cargoes at ports of shipment, Great
Britain makes no guarantee of ex-
emption from further inspection if
the admiralty deems such inspection
necessary.
The triple entente powers have
given guarantees to Athens and Bu-
cbarest that Bulgaria will not attack
Greece or Rumania should Greece

The Suffrage Movement
And Womanly Beauty

The newspapers happily have prov
en- by printing photographs of many
suffrage leaders that they are up to
the minute, both as TO clothes and as
TO beauty and we contend modern
women are beautiful because they
have learned TO care for themselves
and study beauty methods. Then, too,
we have found an astonishing thing
namely that they have discarded
face powder. The reason complex
ions suffer so much in summer is be-
cause powder does not offer sufficient
protection against the hot sun. a
plain spurmaX lotion not only safe
guards the skin from the elements.
but in itself is a beautifier Of great
worth. To prepare this lotion at

When yod pick out a pair OF
ready-made glasses from stock you
are trying to At both eyes AT once.
That IS something that the most ex-
pert eye specialists in the world can
not do. Each eye must be fitted
separately and individually. There Is
as much difference between the two
eyes in a large proportion OF individ-
uals a. there is between the eyes Of
entirely different persons. If both
eyes are fitted at once YOU simply
pick out the pair OF glasses that seem
best TO the good eye. The eye that
sees best always determines the glass
that is chosen. The other eye-the
one that should have the greatest
care and consideration-ha 20 put up
with what seems best for the good
eve. The result is that the poorer
eve gets worse from neglect. The
only way 10 keep your eyes in the best
possible condition Is TO have each one
fitted separately. by a man who has
made a study OF the optical science
He will search out every imp ERECTION

every strained nerve, and put the
