PASTEUR TREATMENT
FOR WAYLAND BOYS
Examination Of Brain Of Dog Which
Bit Two Lads Leads to Treat
ment Being Ordered.

wAYLAND, Mo-, Oct. s.-As a re-
suit of the report from the state bac-
THEOLOGICAL station at Kansas City
that the dog which bit their sons had
rabies, Mrs. Frank Maddox amid Mrs.
George Thompson have taken. their
two boys to Chicago to have them
treated at the Pasteur institute and
this entire community is greatly ex.
cited over the apparent epidemic Of
rabies here.
Yesterday a dog belonging to John
Henshaw, who lives south OF here,
was killed by Cort Boyd, cashier Of
the bank Of Wayland. Henry Kircher,
and others, because 1t was mad. The
men went to the Henshaw farm to
kill the animal as soon as they re-
ceived the report of It's being mad.
James Henshaw killed valuable
COW recently because Drs. Bruner and
Murphy, veterinarians, claimed 1t had
lhydrophobia. At present all dogs are
chained UP and none is to be seen
running loose On the streets.
The dog which bit the MADDOX and
Thompson boys belonged to Ed
schmidt. The boys we're on their way
home from school last week when
the animal attacked them. The dog
acted strangely and last Sunday it
was killed and its head sent to Kan
sas City for examination. The report
of the meteorological station there
caused the mothers to take their sons
to Chicago for treatment to prevent
them developing hydrophobia.

teenth Street and Skids
Over Into the
Ditch.
NONE BADLY INJURED
Mr.. RandeIl Has Strained Back and
Miss Jessie Jacobs Has
Bad Cut on Her
Head.

Charles W. Randell, driving an auto
truck containing five persons besides
himself, struck the rock supporting
the right pillar of the park gate at
the Fifteenth street entrance last
evening shortly before 6 O'Clock and
skidded on two wheels through the
left side of the bridge just inside the
gate and turned turtle into ditch,
dumping all Of the occupants out and
slightly injuring several of them.
The occupants Of the car were
Charles w. Randell, the driver, a con-
tractor of 51S South Twenty-first
street; John Randell, his fifteen year
old son; Lester Randell six, and Eve
Iyn Randell, eight, son and daugh-
ter TO the driver; Miss Jessie Jacobs
Of 1924 Timea street. and Walter Weed
of 1903 Palean street.
Mr.. Randell sustained sprained
back and several minor bruises and
cuts and his two sons and daughter
were bruised slightly. Mr.. Weed was
uninjured, but Miss Jacobs received a
bad cut on her forehead, which, how
ever, is not serious.
The party started out late yesterday
afternoon from Mr.. Randells home
and drove first to Kilbourne park in
search of flower seed The kind wanted
could not be found there so Mr. Ran
dell decided to drive out to Rand park
in the hope that he might be able to
find what he was looking for.
He drove his automobile truck down
Fifteenth street but when he turned
at the corner Of Fifteenth street and
Orleans avenue to enter the park he
made too wide circle and the front
wheel struck the stone that supports
the right side of the park gate.
The car then skidded into the park
and over against the left side Of the
bridge Just inside the entrance and
crashed through this to the ditch be-
low. The occupants were thrown out
and the car fell on them, all having
Ia lucky escape from serious injury.
The party returned home in William
Hollands automobile the Randell
auto-truck being unable to be moved.
1t is badly damaged. the right side
being crushed and the front broken.

sour rising in the throat, the formation
of gas in the stomach which distends it
and causes pain often extending to the

Of heart disease. This condition is called
acid dyspepsia.
Heartburn, q name applied to o pain
in the pit of the stomach, with palpita-
tion Of the heart, results from acid dys.
pepsia.
It is a condition that can be corrected
by the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
tone up the digestive organs and by a
proper selection Of food. Send today to

ectady, N. Y, for the diet book "What

NEW YORK. November 1.-The strug-
gle between the coat suit and the frock
beneath a topcoat is well on. 1t was
purely academic before the cool wealth
er set in, but when women were COM
PEELED to buy winter clothes. and had
the problem thrust squarely before
them, the choice between the two was
the beginning Of the real battle.
II you question each woman who is
buying or going to buy clothes, as to
her preference, she simply goes of
into a state Of despair or acute irrita-
ton. Whichever she has chosen seems
to her the wrong one. and the result
will be excellent for the trade, because
she will buy the other kind. probably.
before the season is well advanced.
1t is very aIluring to hear the makers
of new clothes argue for the two types
of costumes. Each word has weight
and sense. The persuasive argument
that no woman should depend on one
type Of street costume, az she should
not depend on one pair of shoes to
carry her through the winter, sounds
reasonable. and probably few women
would disagree with it; the stumbling
block lies in the brutal fact that the

power of two kinds Of street costum-
ing. They are compelled to depend
upon one style, because bread and but
ter and meat must also be had.
The surest way to reach the heart
of the majority in this question is to
make an appeal on the economic side

| to wear the same costume to shops in
the morning and tea or weddings IN
the afternoon, and that their kind Of
life calls for the stern and sturdy kind
of dressing.
Well, after all, it is ones kind Of life
and social opportunities that determine
the choice of clothes. All the mis-
takes are made in this phase Of buy
in fne Individual must work out the
choice for herself. but she must re-
m. ilper that fashion puts its approval
upon the one-piece frock covered in the
street by one of the new kind of coats
that reach to the hem of the skirt,
fasten down the front and give the
appearance Of a redingote frock. Mind
you. there are women who will make
them serve as such, too, wearing only
a petticoat beneath.
One thing Is true: The blouse that
goes with the cloth tailored suit must
be simple, preferably of white wash

WAYS WITH PEPPERS.

When preparing escalloped oysters.
put them in green sweet peppers in
place of in baking dish. They are
much better this way and are often
relished by those who do not care
especially for oysters. Fill the pep
pers with (, alternate layers OF fine
cracker crumbs and seasoned oysters.
Moisten with milk and put dots, of
butter on the top layer of crumbs.
After cutting a lid from the stem end
of each pepper be sure to remove all
the seeds from the Inside, and be care
full not to break the skin. Bake in a
hot oven about twenty minutes and
serve at once.
Wash four sweet peppers. Seed them
and slice across. Fry them until ten
der. Place them around the edges of
a platter. After making a stew half
tomato and half onion, take six half
smoked sausages, rub them well with
a coarse towel and boil them FIVE min
utes in the tomato stew. Serve the
sausages and tomato in the center of
the platter.
To make green pepper minceneat
take one peck of green tomatoes chop
ped fine or put through a meat grinder
with coarsest knife. Cook slowly for
three hours, then add six pounds of
brown sugar, one cup of molasses. one
cup of vinegar three tablespoonful of
ground cinnamon. two tablespoonfulS of
ground cloves. one grated nutmeg, four
pounds of raisinS chopped fine, two
pounds of currants and half peck Of
apples chopped fine. Boil all thirty
or forty minutes. To be canned for
winter use.

TALK BY TELEPHONE ACROSS
 AMERICAN CONTINENT.

President Wilson, seated in the ex- ecutive office at the White House, in Washington, D. C., a few days ago took down his telephone receiver and talked to the mayor of San Francisco. The same day the mayors of Boston and San Francisco were placed in communication, and thus was marked the final perfection of the transcontt- mental telephone. The human voice is carried across plains, mountain ranges and deserts by the wonderful instru- ments invented by Dr. Graham Bell, of which there are twelve million in use in the United States. Those who have seen so many marvels perform ed by the telephone may have thought it possible all along to talk at dis stances such as between coasts, but this was not accomplished until the recent completion of links in the tele- phone line west of Denver. The ocean to ocean conversation probably is ex- pensiye, but it is a convenience that certainly marks progress in telephone construction.
