A prize Of 81 has been awarded to Trained
Nurse" a8i5 Napa street, Philadelphia, for
the following suggestion:
HOW TO FILL A HOT-WATER BAG
PROPERLY.
A hot-water bag is very often used In
the home to relieve many a pain and
ache, and yet how Intellectual 1t Is II 1t Is
not filled properly. The desired effect Is
obtained only by the heat of the water in
the bag, as we all know, and yet few of
us know that unless the air is expelled
from the bag we do not get the full
benefit of the heat. Air is a non-con-
ductor of both heat and cold.
To quickly and easily eXpel the air
from the bag. after having filed the bag
with sufficient water. and be sure that
we do not make the bag too heavy for
tender part of the body, twist 1t, holding
the twisted part firmly in the one hand
while you quickly screw the cap on tight
ly. Then hold the bag by the bottom and
shake vigorously, to make sure there is
no leakage at the cap. 1t is very i'm
portant that every hot-water bag should
have a nice, warm cover outing flannel
Is very good for this purpose This cover
can be kept clean. and 1t feels very much
nicer next the skin than would the rub
ber of the bag.

"The body has gone, my lord" he ex-
claimed.
Nonsense. Denham-ot course not
you've made some mistake "
But no mistake had been made. The
body of Doctor Anderson had been taken
away from the boat.
THAT is what the man came for, my
lord" said the detective.
''Nonsense-one man could not have
done the job"
"Ive no doubt there were more of them,
my lord. The fellow was perhaps only
a decoy-to lead us away from the boat.
Then the others came on the scene and
moved the body. I expect they've carried
It out TO sea and sunk 1t with weights"
They made their way out on TO the sand

half an hour they came across the marks

SEARCH FOR WHITE SLAVES HELD BY POWER
OF DOPE HABIT

Police, acting on lunches received
since the Harrison antelope law
went into effect, are working on
clues that young girls have been
Iured and forced into white slavery
by means of dope which was forced
on them by their captOrs and to which
they became addicted.
Chief Gleason, it is said, will coop
crate with the government agents In
an effort to locate white slave bands
that have been able to keep their hold
on girl victims whom they have lured
into life of shame.
For long time many people have
considered the stories that young
girls were kept in bondage almost i'm
possible. Now it is said that by max
ing dope slaves of the girls it is easy
for the underworld crowd to keep
them.
It is expected that Detective Ser
geant william F. Bowler, famous for
the number of white slaVers he has
brought to justice, will be assigned to
the work of discovering dope slaves.
The Desplaines street police I'M
covered what promises to be a sensa-
tionaI case yesterday when they raid
ed Elizabeth Cards massage parlOr,
421 S. Wabash, and rescued Frances
Wander, Is, 2122 Greenwich aY., who
was being held a prisoner in closed
room.
The Card woman, Mrs. Frances
King and her husband, Edward King,
were arrested. .....,
The place was raided as result of
a trap laid by the police when Miss
Wander, in a hysterical condition,
complained to them last night that
she had been. Iured to the place by
man she had met at State and Adams,
who had offered her a job as house
keeper at the place at a salary of $40

a note from King asking her to meet
him at Madison and Halsted.
It was after receiving this note that
she told her story to the Desplaines
street police They instructed her
to meet King and go with him to the
massage parlor. The police trailed
them. When they broke down the
door Miss Wander had already been
made a prisoner.
Another example Of a girl gone
wrong through dope was found in
the case of Marie Fransen, arrested
yesterday in Carson, Pirie, Scott &
Co. on a charge of shoplifting.
She told the police she had been
taught to snuff cocaine and take
morphine by Theodore Parker, with
whom she has been living at the New
Bradford hotel. He was also arrest
ed. The girl was parOled for 6 months.
