Il BANANAS HIS MEAL;
DOCTORS FIX HIM UP
Charles Carrigan, With Is Left,
Has to Stop Eating His
Favorite Fruit

Enter now Banana-itis, somewhat akin
to small-boy-green-spple-itis save that
the latter malady generally picks out
youthful victims of insatiate appetite,
while the subject in the example of the
former that herewith is trotted forth Is
an adult.
Charles Carrigan, 30th and oxford
streets, is the subject. Physicians at St
Joseph's Hospital say his pulse is nearing
normal today and that his bulge Is dis
appearing.
Charles left home to wander about the
streets of this big city unattended and
with 10 cents i'm his pocket. Charles likes
bananas. He might be said to have a
mania for them.
At 18th street and Ridge avenue a fruit
dealer was trying to dispose of three
dozen bananas from all old punches be-
fore taking the bag off new one. He
attached to the three dozen a sign read
ing:
Ten cents for the lot"
Adjusting his spectacles, IL he wears
them, Charles examined the sign. He then
thrust his hand into his pocket and drew
forth dime. After a careful scrutiny of
this and the bananas he turned the money
over 20 the fruit dealer and went away
with the bananas.
Three times II is 36. Mark well that
figure.
One hour later Charles appeared in the
hospital dispensary. He said he had ter
rible pains in his midriff
Physicians found Is bananas in his
pockets.
Subtract Is from SO and you have
left?
Twenty-one, exactly.
Very good.
And lust that number of bananaz had
been slowed away by Charles, who was
bulging like the famous bear that met

THE WEEKS WEATHER
REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES
WEATHER BUREAU AT
HURON.

Huron, Sept. 30.-The week as a
whole was moderately warm, though
il vas cool at the beginning and at
the end. 1t was warmer in the east
ern portion of the state than in the
western. Fair weather prevailed dur
ing the early part of the week, but
there was considerable rain later.
The sunshine was considerably less
than the normal. Haying. threshing
and blowing were retarded consider
ably by the rain. Corn matured
nicely during the week, though in
localities its advancement was slow.
There was some local damage TO this
crop by the frost of September 81.
but the damage was not general, and
some reporters state that the crop
was benefited by the frost, as ii has-
tened maturity. More tender vegeta-
ton was damaged considerably. Pas
lures are in excellent condition, being
still green in many places. Stock
continues in fine condition.

Another pleasing feature of the days
program was the luncheon that was
served by the home economics de-
partment of the Howard city schools
to the teachers in attendance at the
meeting.
But by far the most significant
event of the day was the advanced
enrolment of teachers for the South
Dakota Educational association,
which will be held in Aberdeen the
first three days of Thanksgiving
week. More than SO per zen of the
teachers of the county paid the en-
rollment fee and practically all the
other teachers promised to do so be-

OBSERVANCE OF BIRTHDAY AN
NIVERSARY OF THE ORDER.

last evening observed the sixty-fourth
anniversary of the organization of
the order. About 100 members were
present and the evening was very de-
lightfully passed socially in addition
to a program of music and addresses.
Mrs. K. B. Davis, one of the Oldest
in point of membership of Hope
lodge, gave a history of the local or
der from the time of its institution
through all the years up to the pres
emit time. The history was well pre-
pared and the reading was enjoyed
by all the members, recalling Incl
dents of lodge life that had been OBJ
scured by time.
Mrs. Hattie B. Borland, grand sec
rotary. an official of the order of
much experience, was assigned the
subject of a history of the order in
general, giving a very interesting ad-
dress on the work and charities of
the order as a whole.
Mrs. f. G. Ball, state president OF
the order, addressed the members
principally on the subject of the Odd
Fellows orphans home at Dell Rap
ids. Her remarks were in a measure
a report of the work of the home,
bringing out information of which
members are not generally convers-
ant. There are at the present time
forty-one inmates of the home-thir.
ty-six children and five adults-whC

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPLIED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Sept. 30.-Special
Furious fighting still characterizes
the united efforts of French and
British to break through the German
lines on the western front. The al
lied forces, the French war office an
nounces, continue to make gains OF
ground and to add to their captures
of men and guns.
Foot by foot. as the official com
munication reads, the French are
making progress to the east of Sou
chez. and likewise have continued
their advance in Champagne. 1t con-
tains the significant statement that
among the Germans taken prisoners
were men of the guard corps. who
had been brought back from the Rus
sian front a few days ago. This
would seem to indicate that the Aus
tro-Germans have been compelled to
weaken to some extent their eastern
battle line in order to reinforce those
sections Of the western line.
Field Marshal Sir John French re-
ports the capture of powerful Ger
man defenses around Loos, where
the number of prisoners taken by the
British has now reached 5000, forty
machine guns being taken and many
destroyed. The British have cap
tured the first and second lines and
are heavily engaged IN an attack on
the third.

GIRLS CLOTHES
WATERFOWL School Board and Sump-
tuary Legislation.

Watertown, Sept. 30.-Sumptuary
legislation was enacted by the school
board last evening, when, in a meet
ing attended by a committee of eight
ladies from the Parent-Teachers' as
ISOLATION. it passed a resolution, the
endeavor of which is to regulate the
attire of seventh and eighth grade
and high school students. Under
this silks, %satins. chiffons, laces and
frills for girls are placed under the
ban beginning September l, 1915,
and will be frowned upon from this
time. This resolution provides that
the girls of these grades be required
TO wear in school, a dress of the sail
or suit or middle blouse style, cut
reasonably high at the neck and the
sleeve to owe the elbow. Color to
be quite solid" Boys are required
to discontinue the wearing of sweat
ers" or "jersies" in school rooms and
parents and teachers are urged to
use their influence for the early
adoption of such attire. The girls
do not take kindly to this new rule
and there will undoubtedly be a Wig
orcus protest against the enforce
ment of the rule.

goes up, the boys door opens and

does not recognize his father and the
