ADDRESS TO VALLEY DOCTORS
Crrom a STAFF correspondent.)


DIES MONIES, Sept. 24-(special Tele-
gram.)-Dr. Palmer Findley OF Omaha,
not satisfied with the methods involved
in twilight sleep" suggested to physi-
clans at the Missouri Valley Meeting the
use OF nitrous oxide and oxygen In labor
casee.
II am convinced he said that we
have in nitrous oxide and oxygen a means
of relieving the pains OF labor that is
efficient, simple OF application and wholly
devoid of danger A nose inhaler is
adjusted and the patient instructed to
take two or three inhalations with mouth
closed at the onset of pain. When the
oontractions abate the supply of gas is
shut off until the onset OF the following
pain"
1T will be found that the second stage
will usually be materially shortened be-
cause the patient will more effectually
assist the powers of labor when relieved
OF pain. She Is not permitted to lose
consciousness nor to become cyanosed.
Her consciousness Is confused, but she is
aware Of progress of events and will
respond to suggestions."
spends $4,000 on Ten-Cent Art.
Four picture prints for Sunday sup
10 cents, have cost small fortune in a
legal controversy (which was tried out in
the Iowa supreme court yesterday for
the third time. Eleven years ago a school
teacher, Miss Martha Richardson, placed
the four pictures in question on the walls
OF the Henkle school house near Fort
Madison, where she was employed. At
the end OF the school term she left Hem
kle school to teach In an adjoining town
ship. Four pictures, identically similar,
adorned the walls of the new school, w.
L. Henkle, wealthy farmer. claimed to,
own the pictures. He had sent them to
the Henkle school by his son. Henkle's
fight to get possession OF the pictures
again has cost him over $4,000 The fight
involved two damage suits. In the one
he had TO pay Miss Richardson 1890
judgment for Islander for alleged state
ments that she had wrongfully taken the
pictures. In the other case, which was
before the supreme court yesterday for
the third time he is resisting a claim of
5000 damages made by Jacob G.. Kreh-
biel. whose house. where the teacher
roomed, was searched on a search war
rant secured by Henkle in his hunt for
the pictures. Since the original hearing
OF the case In 1906 Miss Richardson mar

the 1900 damages.
