BOY CRUSHED BY CAR
Perry Brewer Fell in Front of Heavy
Motor Last Night.

Perry Brewer of 1927 Western ave-
nue. and Raymond Coolidge of 11S
Greenwood avenue, IT and 16 years
of age respectively, were injured about
$3.50 o'clock Friday night when the
al l threw them in front of an auto
mobile driven by r. NJ. Williams, 1437
Fillmore street. The left rear wheel
of the automobile passed over Brew
er's body and possibly crushed the
chest structure. He breathed with
great difficulty after being taken to
the st. Francis hospital but the ply
stefan in charge stated today that his
injuries are not necessarily fatal.
Coolidge was struck by the car and
his shirt was almost torn from his
body, exposing numerous scratches
and bruises on his back. However, he
rode the bicycle from the scene of the
accident near the Sachs greenhouse
on the West Tenth street road to the
hospital. Brewer was placed in the
Williams's car and hurried to the hos
pital.
Both boys were riding the same BIZ
cycle returning from a swim in Gage
lake. They had no light on the bicycle
and the road was lined with automo-
biles travelling both directions and
carrying glaring headlights. They
were following the Williams car and
attempted to pass it. They turned in
ahead of 1T to avoid meeting a west
bound car and that instant the wheel
faltered and threw the boys directly
in the path of the Williams car. The
Williams automobile was stopped
within eight feet of the accident

How to Reduce
Your Weight
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way

If you are carrying around ten to
sixty pounds of unhealthy fat you are
unnecessarily weakening your vital
organs and are bearing a burden
which destroys the beauty Of your
figure.
Why continue to be a victim of
superfluous fat? If you want to re-
duce your weight in a simple, safe
and reliable way, without starvation
diet or strenuous exercise. here is a
test worth trying. Spend some time
daily in the open air, take seven deep
breaths each morning and night and
get from any good druggist a box of
oil of korein capsules; take one after
each meal and one before retiring at
night; also follow the other simple
directions that come with the box.
Weigh yourself once a week, SO as
to know just how fast you are losing
weight. and don't leave off the treat
ment or even skip single dose until
you are down to normal.
Oil of korein is absolutely harmless,
is pleasant to take and helps digestion.
Even a few days treatment has been
reported to show a noticeable reduc-
ton in weight, the step becomes
lighter. your work easier; a more
buoyant, vivacious feeling takes pos
session of your whole body and mind.
If you are oyerstout you should give
this treatment a trial. You are very
likely to be surprised and delighted.

COssack Only Farmer in Disguise.
There was one brilliant second that
stormy afternoon of the revolution
when this fact that the uniform
doesn't make the soldier dawned on
the Petrograd crowd that was crying
for bread near the Finnish railroad
station. A policeman struck a citizen
with club. Nearby was a group of
Cossacks on horseback, with knouts
and swords-a grim sight to a Russian
crowd. But out from the group dash
ed Cossack; he was as terrible look
ing as any Cossack could be; he wore
all the terrifying Cossack garb, gift
of the car; his face was black with
the Cossack resolution which the Rus
sian people fear He swung his sword
and the crowd fell back, not knowing
his purpose. The steel flashed thru
the air and a crowd of thousands of
people beheld, for the first time in
Russian history, the sight of a Rus
sian Cossack killing a Russian police
man. The crowd cheered with delight.
The cry went up-"The Cossacks are
with US! The Cossacks are with us"
This one incident, it is believed by
some, marked the turning of the tide
against the car. 1t developed after
ward that the Cossack with the sword
was a farmer from the Cossack dis
trict. The crowd soon learned that
almost every uniform was only the
disguise of some citizen like them
selves. The rest was easy.
