HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Proved a Wise, Good Friend.

A young woman out in Ia found
wise, good friend in her mother-in-law.
Jokes notwithstanding. She writes:
II was greatly troubled with my
stomach. complexion was blotchy and
yellow After meals I often suffered
sharp pains and would have to lie
down. My mother often told me it
was the coffee drank at meals. But
when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe
headache.
While visiting my motherin-law I
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum
ct began to use Postum as soon as
got home, and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
I have no more troubles Indigestion
is thing of the past, and my COM
plexion has cleared up beautifully.
MY grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave OF coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
"She finally was induced to try Post
UNI which she has used for over a
year. She travelled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to
do for years. She says she owes her
present good health to Postum

TRAGIC STORY OF HERoIsM
Philadelphia Boys Did Not Hesitate
When Time Came to Give Lives
for Companions.

$ Philadelphia-A tragic story of the
heroic sacrifice of three lives, inter
mingled with love and bravery, was
told here by four young persons, two
girls and two boys. Three young men
plunged into the waters of the Della
ware river that their companions
might be saved from drowning In
disabled rowboat. The dead are John
Mouchech, Raymond Tinney and John
Murphy. The saved are George Ger
man, Sarah German, Mary German
and John Nevill. They ranged in age
from 16 to 26.
Tinney and Sarah German were
sweethearts AS chaperons, they &C
companied the other cutters on visit
to Cramer Hill, on the New Jersey
side of the river and hired rowboat.
hen, singing and laughing, as all
happy picknickers do, they padded
away down the stream. 1t was twi-
light and the laughter soon changed
to the singing of old time melodies.
The two sweethearts sat to them
selves
Suddenly one of the party saw
water seeping in through a break in
the side of the boat. The singing
stopped and there were hurried sug-
gestions passed.
Raymond Tinney suggested that the
boys leave the boat, hoping thereby
to allow the splintered board to rise
above the water and lessen the dan
ger. Sarah German begged him not
to attempt it. None of them could
swim. He had told her that before.
The boat must be lightened shortly
or all would he 10st kissing his
sweetheart good-by, Tinney leaped
over the boatside. The other boys
followed Immediately. They did not
come up.
The boat capsizeda shortly after they
had disappeared in the water and the
girls were plunged into the river Ne
will and German, however, succeeded
in clinging to the overturned craft
and grapsed the girls as they were
about to sink for the second time. a
motor boat steamed to tAe spot after
hearing their cries and carried them
back to safety.

FIGHT ARMY WORMS
Agricultural College Receiving
Many Complaints Regard
ing Their Ravages.
HOW TOGET RID OF THE PEST
Experts Give Some Simple Ways or
Controlling Them-Dust Furrow
Makes Good Barrier.

From many parts of the state
George A. Dean, professor of entom-
ology- at the Kansas State Agr1cul-
tural college, is receiving complaints
that the army worms have started on
their annual rampages to destroy the
crops In each case the author of the
complaint has asked for information
on how to get rid of the pests.
Following are some of the simple
WAYS of com batting the army worm as
prescribed by Professor Dean:
AS soon as the army worms are de-
tected measures of control should be
put into operation at once if the loss
of crops is to be prevented, for they
move rapidly and destroy all in their
path Efforts should be centered on
combining their injury to as small an
area s possible. AS a barrier to their
progress there is nothing better than
a dust furrow, made the same as the
one for the chinchbug. If the wealth
er is cool and a fine dust cannot be
maintained it may be necessary to
have two or three burrows.
Postholes are made in the bottom
of the burrows at intervals of ten to
fifteen feet, where the caterpillars
may collect in quantity as they travel
up and down the burrows seeking to
escape. Here they may be readily
killed by pouring kerosene upon them
or by crushing them.
BY a through spraying of the vege-
tation on which they are feeding, with
an arsenical spray, large numbers may
be killed If they are just moving
into corn field or an alfalfa field
strip should be thoroughly sprayed
along the edge of the field into which
they are moving. In making the
sprays either lead arsenate should be
used at the rate of three pounds to
fifty gallons of water, or Paris green
at the rate of one pound to fifty gal
Ions of water. In using Paris green
two pounds of stone lime should be
used to every pound of Paris green.

waits on General Carranza, command
er-in-chief of the Constitutionalist
forces in Mexico. He has in his pos
session a communication from the
three South American diplomats
which opens the door for Constitu-
tionalist representation in the confer

whether the entire Mexican problem
will be settled by diplomacy or wheth-
er the Constituencies will continue
to fight their way by force of arms

The mediators have, in dignified
way, smoothed the path for Consti-
tutionalist participation. The United
States government wants them to ac-

by the Washington government of the
moral support it has been extending
to the Constitutionalist cause.
The mediators are hopefully conf
dent that General Carranza will send
ENJOYS here. Instead of believing the
negotiations will be Indefinitely pro-
1onged by such a course, they think
a pacific settlement would in reality
be more quickly obtained.
The mediators have not literally in

phraseology of the note is such as
to pave the way for their entrance to
the negotiations. 1t is in effect

WIDOW ARRESTED AT GRAVE
Wellington Woman Was Placing
Flowers on Tomb When Taken
Into Custody at Wichita.

When Mrs Grace E. Patton of
Wellington came to Wichita to place
a wreath on the grave of her muir
dered husband, she was arrested and
charged with killing him. Patton,
grocer, was shot to death December
10, 1912. He and his wife were at
home at the time. When questioned
by the police the next day, Mrs. Pat
ton said burglars fired the two shots,
one of which killed Patton, while the
other pierced a door
What puzzled the police was that
revolver containing one empty cart
ridge was found near the bed where
the slain man lay. The wife said
this cartridge was exploded when she
fired at the intruders. The bullet in
the door, the police say, could not
have been fired by her.

Germans In Full Retreat.

Petrograd, Oct 29.-The German
armies, driven, seventy-five miles west
and south of Warsaw, are trying des
perately to resume the offensive.
Thus far they have not succeeded
for the Russian vanguard Is so close
to them and in such strength that all
efforts to stem the rout and reform
the lines have been prevented by dt
rect attacks.
This battle in Russian Poland. that
Is regarded as the greatest of the
war, cannot be regarded yet as fin.
ished. Undeniably, however, the ad
vantage rests now with the Russian
forces and there is every promise that
the successes will be continued. The
Grand Duke Nicholas has brought re-
Inducements to press against the
kaiser's troops.
At various points the Germans have
forged far enough ahead of their pur
suers to form a semblance of battle
line and have fought at bay with In
tense ferocity. 1t has been repeatedly
necessary for the Russians to use
the bayonet to dislodge the enemy,
and this has resulted in huge losses
for both sides.
The severity of tine weather has
worked excessive hardships among
the Germans,
The following communication from
the Russian general staff was made
public:
