NOTED WRITER DEAD.

From the window of his quiet
book-lined room, Nick Carter"
writer of thriilers," could look
over the green fields and or
chard blooms to the Sparkling
waters of Lake Goguac, near Bat
tie Creek, Mich.
Until a month ago the man
who turned out exciting stories
of hair-breadth adventures In
the CRIME and noise of city
streets, sat at his dignified desk
in his peaceful room ON the Grand
Boulevard here, and when he
was tired of looking at the rows
and rows of heavy calfbound
books that formed his library,
turned his eyes to a scene in spec
tacular contrast to the settings
of the stories he was pounding
out on his typewriter.
Nick Carter wrote of New
York dives, hut he wrote of
them at "a reSposeful country
home.
He wrote of crime in the midst
of austere responsibility.
He wrote of noise and tumult
in a stiffness that, IN winter, was
broken only by the crunch of ice
of the shore, of the lake, and in
summer by the buzz of honey
bees.
The man who died In Battle
Creek a few days ago was a fic-
ton foundry. His typewriter
turned out literally hundreds OF
stories.
His death is mOurned by a big
per cent of young Americans.

AUTOMATIC MARRIAGE"

The Illinois Woman s Legisla-
tive Congress, formed for the
purpose of helping the State auth
critics in all matters of reform
and the general uplift of life, re-
Gently held it's sessions IN Chica-
go and discussed ways and means
OF improving conditions. Many
eminent ministers sat with the
women In the council room and
shared in the discussions.
Among the world SORROWS re-
viewed were the child born out
of wedlock and its outcast moth
er. Here is the throbbing in
justice since the time began -
the helpless, innocent child doom
ed to bear the brand of illegiti-
macy, and the forsaken and
spurned mother left on the cruel
fixion cross Of her bitter life.
The Chicago women saw the two
in strong bas-relief against the
freedom and the responsibility
of the father, and set themselves
to provide d remedy against the
evil, inadequate, perhaps, and diff
ficult of application, but a begin
szirg, they believe, of new and
better order of Sings.
This proposed remedy is, if the
women can accomplish its pas
sage, a law which viii declare the
birth of cchild out of wedlock
to automatically marry the par
ents.
That is hard on men," pro
tested one director. But how
hard has it alwayas been on the
betrayed womenf Is the law =
written or unwritten-to go Oh
forever shielding the man and
scouraging the women? Both are
guilty? Should not each
have an equal punishment and an
equal claim upon justice

MRS. HERTWECK AT REST.

The remains of Mrs. Eliza j.,
wife of Otto Hertweck, who died
at Cairo, "Wednesday morning,
were laid to rest in the Hickman
city cemetery Friday morning, at
ter funeral services by Rev. X.
&. Douglass, at the residence of
Percy Jones. The funeral wa
largely attended and the floral
tributes were both generous and
beautiful, bearing testimony 10
the high esteem in which the de-
ceased was held. A large number
of out-of-town friends were in at
tendence. The passing of Mrs
Hertweck takes from our midst a
most beautiful, Christian charae-
ter; a life whose golden thread
bound into one sheaf all those
virtues and excellent qualities, ty-
pical of noblest womanhood. To
her children, how true must seem
these lines from an old poem:
No love like mOther-lOve ever
has shone;
No other worship abides and en-
dues,
unselfish and patient,
like yours;
None like a mother can charm
away pain
From the sick soul and the world
weary brain.
Slumber s soft calm ore my
heavy lids creep
Rock me TO sleep, mother, rock
me to sleep

CALOMEL CLAIMS
MANY VICTIMS.
Science Has At Last Discovered
A Substitute For It.

Very few realize how many
people are salivated by calomel
each year. Every one who has
taken this dangerous drug knows
that it gripes, sickens and is very
unpleasant to take but all who
do not know that while it acts
violently on the liver that 1t
softens the bone and Is liable at
any time to salivate them. Many
doctors dislike to prescribe it as
they would any other pois6nous
drug and some doctors refuse to
give it to their patients. 1t is
log these reasons that men of
science have been patiently
searching for a substitute for dam
gerous calomel and have at last
discovered medicine that possess
es the VIRTUES of calomel without
the dangerous and unpleasant aft
ter-effects. This new medicine is
called LEMOLAC and is now on
sale at Helm & Ellison's Drug
Store.

The last mail brought an inter- esting and instructive letter from Mrs. c. M. Wilkes, who is now in New York. Mrs. Wilkes is a quail fled lay instructor for surgical dressings and assisted with that work when she was here. Extracts from her letter follow:
 Sept. T. 1917. My dear Mrs. Blanchard,
 I have so often thought of you and the earnest ladies of the Skag- way Red Cross and my very pleas ant and unexpected meeting with you. l hope the hurried sugges- tions l had the privilege and pleasure of making to you proved as helpful as l would wish them to have been.
 On my return to Seattle, found the work l started there on my way to Alaska, in a very encouraging and flourishing condition.
 l have been at work in the Red Cross headquarters here and shall remain for time in this city. Later I may go to Washingtn to enter the Red Cross work at the National Headquarters and shall hope to be O. some real assistance in the great need for the surgical drssings.
 It is quite possible that you may have already heard from the Washington headquarters about the latest changes in the supplies need ed, but knowing how long it takes for letters to be exchanged will tell you that while I was in Seat tle instructions came that there was no further need for the three sizes of laparotomy pads, the three sizes of drains and the 2x2 sponges' These need not be made any more for the present, or until some spec ial order may sometime be made for them. The articles now. needed are the single and double compress es, the one and three yard rolls and the AKA sponges. I am sure you will all enjoy making all of these articles and of course the need for them is very great.
 You may long have known all about the items regarding the Red Cross work noted in this letter. put if so, I am sure you will pardon the repetition and will know that my interest in your progress Is the paramount object of my writing and I would pc exceedingly glad to hear from you and to know how you are getting on. If there is any thing I can assist you about, please do not hesitate to ask.
 Please convey my most cordial greetings to the ladies I met so pleasantly during those brief and Ill teresting hours with you, and most earnestly do hope for your great success in your ardent endeaVor to aid in the tremendous need of hu- manity in this crisis.
 With kindest regards to yourself believe me .....
 Yours very sincerely,
