OUR CHILD.
The lovely bud, so young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just come to show how sweet flowor,
In Paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed,
And babe it blossom there.

lit can't be- imagined. Even some OF
the Vernon Castles and Mrs. Vernon
Castles are afflicted with it. It's part
and parcel of the business Of being
star to have temperament.
| But the seeming impossibility has
been located right here in Chicago
The stars under consideration get
anywhere from 800 to $4,000 for a
single public performance and they
not only as a class never have tenn
erament, but they can't afford to have
lit. They are automobile speed demons
Chicago recently saw as great 1,
galaxy OF auto speed drivers as ever
competed in this country, when the
new Chicago speedway was baptized
with one Of the greatest speed con-
tests since Old Dobbin was chased to
the bench by gasoline buggies. Dur
ing the two weeks that the speed kings
were flirting with death in preparation
for the big race Chicago saw a great
deal of the speed stars Not one of
them showed signs of temperament.
They all said they hadn't time and to
see the work they put in on their mo
chimes for from to 10 hours daily,
in order to have them fit for a CON-
paratively short turn about the track,
they didn't have.
Anyway; imagine getting at attack
of temperament while going 100 miles

1.-THE statement made today by William
| G. Juengst. superintendent Of th1 Keo-
kuk Water company.
"The Tugs on the fire hydrant at
| this corner has been tempered With
so that they were worn smooth and
the corners were worn Off" Mr..
Juengst said this morning to Gate
City reporter. Neither our wrenches
or those Of the fire department would
open the hydrant. l should Judge that
the damage was done by someone
with monkey wrench At any, rate
+, the corners OF the Tugs were worn
off,"
An investigation of the condition OF
| the hydrant was made by the water
company yesterday. 1t was found that
the wrenches used by the water COM
pany would not grip the Jugs. This
was the trouble the fire department
experienced in the fire at George
Gray's home Wednesday night. The
fremen were unable to open the n.y.
| drant at once, because the Tugs were
worn smooth
! Someone who was either misin.
formed or who had a malicious pur-
pose in circulating the report said
| that the firem.en were without hydrant
1 wrenches, the reason they could not
open this hydrant. This was untrue,
| for as the investigation by the water
company showed, the hydrant could
not be opened with their hydrant
wrenches.
The fire department is fully equip
ped with hydrant wrenches, and these
are fastened to every piece OF appa-
ratus.
The water company has repaired
the damaged fire hydrant.

HARRY THAW Is

While Acting az Own Witness or

1 limited Press Leased Wire Servicel
NEW YORK, July 9.-Harry K
Thaw had reached the crucial stage
of his nine year fight for freedom
when he resumed the, stand in hts

the freely expressed opinion of legal
men connected with the, case.
That Thaw, himself realized it, was
evidenced by his set face a. Deputy

watchful eyes Of the four hostile
alientists who will follow him on the
stand. Legal men were Of the opfn-
ion that Thaw must prove more
composed collected witness today
than he did--yasterday if he hopes to
help his case.
| So completely was Thaw exhausted
by his long hours on the stand yes
| terday that he asked the officials to
take him to the Waldorf to dine last
night. He needed relaxation, he said,
and they complied with his wishes.
| Cooks manner Of handling Thaw
evoked surprised comment, even from
Thaw's adherents. Where William
Travers Jerome had rallied at him,
Cook used just the opposite methods.
putting his queries in steady even
tones that got on Thaw's nerves.
Cooks eyes and those Of the four
alienists never left Thaw's face and
LIT admittedly bothered him.
| Deputy Attorney General Cook stat
ed before court opened that he under-
stood a second medical examination
of Evelyn Thaw today would determ-
inc whether she should be brought
here to testify.
Thaw appeared slightly worn and
tired. He answered questions IN a
cool composed manner, however.
Z "Do you believe you were insane
when you murdered Winter" was one
| Of Cooks first questions.
John B. Stanchfield, Thaw's attor-
ney. objected to the question and was
sustained.

Throughout his story, Thaw talked
evenly and at times slowly. Often he
gazed upward as though trying 10

trolled himself remarkably in inswer-
ing questions in contrast with his ex-
plosions yesterday.

White had made her offers for inno-
cent girls?" Cook asked.
"She told me that White had made
her and other women engaged in SINH

girl" Thaw replied.
Thaw admitted he had paid the
Merrill woman money for information,
denying it was for suppression OF tes-
timony. The amount, he testified, was
between $500 and $500.
Cook endeavored to find what
Thaws present attitude is towards
his wife, but Attorney Stanchf1eld's
objections were sustained.
did you kill White because he
ruined Evelyn, or because of his in
Jury to other girls?" asked Cook.
"If Miss Nesbit had escaped White
l probably never would have paid any
attention to him." was the answer.

SHOULD EAT
A Physlelan,s Advice.

indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are, nine
times out of ten, due to acidity; there
fore stomach sufferers should. when.
ever possible, avoid eating food that
Is acid in its nature. or which py
chemical action in the stomach de.
yelops acidity. Unfortunately, such
rule eliminates most foods which are
pleasant to the lasts as well as those
which are rich In blood, flesh and
nerve building properties This Is the
reason why dyspeptics and stomach
sufferers are usually SO thin, emaciat.
ed and lacking in that vital energy
which can only come from we'll fed
body. For the benefit Of those suffer-
ers who have been obliged to exclude
from their diet all starchy, sweet or
fatty food, and are trying to keep up
a miserable existence on gluten pro-
ducts, 1 would suggest that you
try meal of any food or foods which
you may like, in moderate amount,
taking Immediately afterwards tea

little hot or cold water. This Will
neutralize any acid which may be
present. or which may be formed,
and instead of the usual feeling of un.

that your food agrees with you per-
fectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubt
less the best food corrective and ant
acid known 1t has no direct action
on the stomach; but by neutralizing
the ecidity of the food contents, and
thus removing the source Of the acid
irritation which inflames the delicate
stomach lining, It does more than
could possibly be done by any drug
or medicine. AS a physician, | be-
lieve in the use Of medicine when
ever necessary, but I must admit that
/ cannot see the sense Of dosing an
inflamed and irritated stomach with
drugs instead of getting rid of the
acld-the cause Of all the trouble.
Get little bisurated magnesia from
Wilkinson & Co., or your druggist,
eat what you want at your next meal,
take some Of the bisurated magnesia
as directed above, and see If I'm not
