perfect an organization which extends
all over the county. Committees were
appointed and put to work ana the re-
suit is that the county Is pretty Wen

sanitation. All report fine success.
On Wednesday night w. e. Lancaster,

Proceeding the address the kahoka

concert on the stage In the opera
house They were given a rousing
demonstration by the audience and the
speaker of the evening passed them

more than an hour and If there was
a man or woman in that audience who
was not convinced that he or she
should buy second Liberty bond at
the conclusion of his address they
could not be convinced, that is all. 1t

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Not long ago
a man came to me who was nearly
half a century old and asked me to
give him preliminary examination

to find him with the blood pressure
of boy of 20 and as full OF vigor,
vim and vitality as young man; In
fact q young man he really was, not
withstanding his age. The secret he
said was taking iron-nuxated iron

30 he was In bad health at 46 he was
careworn and nearly all in. Now at

beaming with the buoyancy of youth.
AS I have said hundred times over,
iron is the greatest of all strength
builders. If people would only take
Nuxated Iron when they feel weak
or run down instead Of dosing them
selves with habit forming drugs and
stimulants and alcoholic beverages,
am convinced that in this way they
could ward off disease, preventing it
becoming organic in thousands Of
cases and thereby the lives Of thous-

cause which started their diseases
was nothing more nor less than
"a weakened condition brought on
by lack of iron in the blood.
Iron is absolutely necessary to
enable your blood to change food
into living tissue. Without it, no
matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing you any good. You
don't get the strength out of 1t, and
as a consequence you become weak,

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff


There is one sure way that has nevsl
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy Il
entirely. To do this, just get about -four
ounces of plain, common liquid arym
from any drug store (this is all you will
need), apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, Of yoar
dandruff will be gone, and three or -four
more applications will completely dis.
solve, and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy silky
and soft, and look and feel hundred
times better.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
SINGING MOMENTS.


It's when say goodbye at morn
And step off briskly down the street;
It's when at dusk the dreams are borne
To us from hearts that wait sweet.
It's when with tousled hair leap
In gladness of the little child,
Turned children in the golden keep
OF fancy beating strong and wild.
It's when bright day comes arrayed
In glimmer OF the golden sun,
And forth venture unafraid
To do task and have our fun.
Its when the old exultant heart
Takes from the glory Of the air
A new dream that shall lift its art
Beyond the shadows of life's care.
It's when from ventures bold and hard
You turn with languor In your breast.
To eyes with all loves beauty starred
And arms that soothe you until rest.
It's when the better self in
Leaps up above the dross and crude,
And forth go to face Gods plan
With righteousness and fortftude.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-Mrs. Marion G.
Cappell was proud enough Of her
citizenship today to carry 1t into
locked Jury room, which she faced the
prospect of calling home for the next
several months, In common with a
number of men.
To Circuit Judge Sabaths question
of whether she realized this may
mean that you will be locked up all
night with eleven men," Mrs. Cappell
replied y!
II do-and it will be under the as
sumption that they are all gentlemen"
Selection of Mrs. Cappell as a Eve
nire man" In the graft trial Of Charles
Healey, former chief of police-the
first time a women was ever called for
jury service in Cook county-"was an
accident"
The jury commissioners were under
the impression that Marion e. Cap
pell was a man.
The court did not conceal it's at
tempts to discourage Mrs. Cappell
from serving, but she met every such
effort cleverly. The defense counsel
were in her favor. The state was non
commital. /,
Both sides admit the selection of
jury probably will consume a month.
A second venire of 100 has already
been called and jurors tentatively Sc
lected are locked up at night-an I'M
usual procedure for case wherein
any but capital offense is charged.
Immediately after Mrs Cappell had
been tentatively accepted, Judge Sab
bath ordered the veniremen locked up
temporarily and she marched into the
jury room with a determined air.
Mrs. Cappell is a middle aged wo-
men, of striking appearance and was
neatly costumed in a blue tailored
suit.
She is Excused.
CHICAGO. Oct. 1S.-Illinois isn't
ready for feminine justice.
This was indicated today when
Mrs. Marion e. Cappell, AZ, dra-
matte teacher was excused for
cause" from serving on the jury to
try Chas. Healey. former chief Of
police, on graft charges.
Clarence barrow, attorney for
Healey, contended that the statues
prevent women acting as jurors in
Illinois. Circuit Judge Sababth who
had opposed acceptance Of Mrs. Cap
pell excused her, with an air of re-
lief.
Chas. Erdstein, attorney for VIM.
Skidmore, co-defendent argued long
and heatedly with his fellow counsel.
Mrs. Cappell despite her discharge
had the sensation Of what serving on
jury with eleven men would be
like, for she was locked up in the
jury room for more than an hour,
after her tentative acceptance before
she was called for final examination.

SEOUESTRATION. .

Revelations at Washington make IL certain
that Count Won Bernstorff while ambassador
handled vast amounts Of German god much o.
which was used dishonorably to finance activi-
ties against the peace and honor OF the United
States The sum disbursed by him is estl-
mated as high as twenty-five millions; and 1t is
now known that he supplied one million, seven
hundred thousand dollars to Bola Pasha, the
Turkish agent of Germany, then in this coun-
try, who now faces death In France as spy
and corruptionist on a colossal scale. Part of
the huge sum at the ambassadors disposal
seems to have been derived from the sale
of German securities in this country, the
financial movements having been engineered by
the Deutsche bank in Berlin through it's branch
the Deutsche bank in New York City.
There has been urged upon our government
the advisabiIity of sequestering such funds IN
blanks and other institutions in this country
Isubiect to German control as might be used to
our detriment. All the European belligerents
have found it desirable to do this, and especial
|ly is it incumbent on us. One of these days the
outlaw nation will stand at the bar, and when
asked to make PREPARATION for its shocking
crimes in Belgium will plead impoverishment
and inability to reimburse the victim. 1t
would be we'll if the United States were then in
a position to say: Here in our hands is money of
yours which can be used for that purpose, so
far as it will 60.
Seouestration is not confiscation but is hold
ing property in judicial custody to prevent it's
dissipation pending the determination of legal
claims Sequestration in this case would pre-
vent such illegitimate Of the money as Ger
man agents have already made and create a
fund for the payment Of such claims Of our citi-
zens for lives and property destroyed as may be
iiudicially established.
