Hot Weather Bad
for W011e71's Nerue
Season When They Most
Need Their Strength to
Withstand the Heat

Hot weather has decidedly weaken
ing effect on most women. They become
too languid to exercise. and as a result
have appetite only for light, tasty
foods. like salads and other cold con-
cocticns, which do not digest readily
and increase the natural tendency to
constipation.
At this season women should main
tain the highest possible standard OF
health. to counterfeit the enervating eff
feet of the weather. Good digestion and
regularity of the bowels are essential.
The combination of simple laxative
herbs with pep5in. sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, Is highly recommended as a
laxative and digestant by many ply
sicians. as well as by thousands Of
women who depend upon it as rem
cdy for many OF those Ills to which
women seem more especially suscept-
ib,,.

teen Months,

Des Moines, July 30.-The Iowa
Bankers Association was notified yes
terday that H. II. Durham, wanted for
severa, forgeries committed in Ames
last year, has been sentenced to four
teen months in the West Virginia PEN
itentiary, by the United States court at
Covington, Ky.
The charge for which Durham was
convicted was impersonating federal
officer. He is said to have represent
ed himself as P. p. Claxton, head Of
the board of education, or as a repre-
sentative of Mr. Claxton, in several
cities turnout the south
Durham lived for about year in
Ames, where he worked as painter
and paperhanger. Just before he left
he cashed number of checks that
were later found to be bogus. Detec-
tives for the bankers association traced
him for several months thru cities in
Kentucky and Georgia until finally he
was arrested at Buffalo. Efforts were
made to get him returned here for
prosecution, but the Buffalo officials
turned him over to the federal officers
from Kentucky instead.

sPlLLMAN RECEIVERS AUTO.
Victim Of Crook Still Out $3.50 and
Swindier 10 Missing.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, July 30-With the re-
covery Of the automobile 1t Is possible
that before long the young man giving
his name as L. b. Boyd will soon be
under arrest. The automobile was To-
Gated at Algona by detective OF the
State Bankers Association and the
which he soon expects to locate the
man. Boyd is the fellow who hired out
to Peter Spillman. wealthy farmer
near Lake Mills. Working for him a
little over two months he began to lay
a clever scheme to swindle his bene-
factor out OF large sum of money.
He planned to get $3.50 but in some
way he only secured $3.50. The oper-
alton Of Boyd has been extensively
published in Iowa and Minnesota pa
pers. When he had secured financial
assistance from Mr.. Spillman he then
asked to borrow his Overland car to
go to Forest City. Then 1t was that
he drew the $3.50 and lit out. Locat-
ing the automobile at Algona was the
first heard of him since. He left the
auto in the Trcmaine & Spillman gar
age. with instructions to keep 1t until
he returned After Mr.. Spillman iden-
titled the machine as his the proprie-
tors refused to turn 1t over without a
replevin. This was secured and now
Mr.. Spillman has his auto but he Is out
the $3.50.

Newton. July 30.-It was thought
until few days ago that the mad dog
scare at Monroe was closed incident.
The quarantine had been lifted July
and things were apparently going on as
usual.
However one day last week farmer
from Marion county bought six head of
hogs from a farmer northeast Of Mon
roe and took them home with him.
That night two of the hogs died and
shortly afterwards three more died and
the Marion county farmer naturally
wanted to know about it,
The heads Of the hogs were sent to
Iowa City for examination and the
report came back that the hogs had
rabies.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the county attorney, who ad-
vised the Monroe board Of health and
the board of health where the hogs
were bought, to call in the state board
of health to get the matter cleared up.

stole $1,000 worth Of jewelry from the

Roy Martin, one Of the clerks, entered
the store about 10 o'clock in the even
ing, after he attended lodge meeting,
and according to the proprietor, every

100000 FOR WAR HORSES.
European Nations Spend Vast Sum in
Vicinity Of Sioux City.

Sioux City. July So.-The European
nations now engaged in conflict with
Germany have spent over s3,000,000 In
Sioux City for horses to be used in the
European war, according to estimates
given out by Schloeman Bros, horse
buyers at the local stockyards. The
purchasing agents for the allies made
Schloeman Bros. their headquarters
while in Sioux City and it Is believed
the above figures are correct.
This large expenditure for horses has
made Sioux City one Of the largest
horse markets in the country for the
past four months. There are several
other cities far ahead of Sioux City in
the number of animals sold to the
allies. but they are not in this section
of the United States. Des Moines
sold over $1,000,0oO worth of horses to
the allies.
Practically all of the animals pur-
chased here were for artillery pur-
poses. The horses were sent to east
ern ports in special trains.
