DR." YOUNCANDAlD.
MAY SERVE in PEN
Must Go To Jefferson City, If
Unable to Give BOnd-Appeal
Filed Against Verdict. -

]. H. Young the aged Specialist"
and Fred Sherman, his secretary, will
be taken shortly to the State Peniten-
tiary for two years, unless they are
able to furnish a bond of $500 fixed
by Circuit Judge Kelly to obtain their
freedom pending the appeal in the
Supreme Court. The last effort made
by the attorneys of the defendants
was overruled yesterday by Judge KEEL
ly. He declined to sustain the motion
filed in arrest of Judgment, which
would have saved the men from the
penitentiary until the case had been
raised on by the Supreme Court.
Even the pleas of the aged doctor
who says he is past 81 years, failed
to touch the Judge during the argu-
ments yesterday morning. Ed Drum
and Senator Thos. F. Lane, the at
torneys for the two men, made every
effort to have the allegations set forth
in the information by Prosecuting At
torney Caruthers, thrown out, but the
Judge upheld the information.
Following the ruling of Judge Kelly
in this case the April term of the Cir
cult Court, one of the longest on rec
ord, was adjourned Both Young and
Sherman will be given an opportunity
till the second day of the coming term
to make the bond fixed by the Judge
for their release during the time the
case is pending in the Supreme Court.
Young and Sherman were charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses from Rue Trovillion, whose
mother Young agreed to treat for ten
days. According to the testimony of
the young man and his father they con-
tracted to cure the patient within ten
days, and on the ninth day of the
treatments pronounced her cured, for
which they received 500. Mrs. Trovil-
lion died a few days later.

BILL EMPOWERS WILSON TO
REGULATE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

Washington, May 30.-Prohibition-
lists have called attention to a provi-
sion in the administration explosives
shipments bill, completed in commit
tee of the whole by the House today
and put in a position for passage,
which they say will place in President
Wilson's hands the power to enforce
nationwide prohibition.
The measure, designed to give the
Government broader power over pos
sible material for munitions, empow-
ers the President to regulate the dis
tribution and use of smokeless powder
and other explosives "and the ingre-
dents thereof" The House prohi-
bitionists declare that since alcohol
is used in making smokeless powder,
the President would be given broad
power over the liquor traffic under the
bill.
If the administration exercises the
prohibition power proposed in the food
control bill pending in Congress, it was
stated authoritatively, the ban will fall
upon beer, into the production of which
goes about $500 900 bushels of bar
ley every year.

STEER GAINS ESQ
POUNDS In 20 DAYS
Al Dittlinger Sells Yearold Steer
for SI00-Farm Better Than
Muniti0n Plant, He Says.

Cape Girardeauans Sunday will be
served meat from a brilliant Holstein
steer, which was sold by Al Dittlinger
to Frank Lawler yesterday after the
owner had increased the animals
weight from 74O to 900 pounds in
seventy days, an average of nearly
four pounds every day.
Mr.. Dittlinger brought the steer
from his farm in Illinois, March 90,
and fed the Holsteiner on Purina feed.
After the animal. clean country-bred
steer, had become accustomed to city
life and had stood the first siege of
city fever. it began to gain weight
manifestly. When weighed yesterday.
seventy days after starting the Purina
treatment the steer tipped the scale
at 900 pounds. Mr.. Dittlinger expects
to have him fill the 1000 mark before
he turns him over to Frank Lawler.
the butcher on Independence street.
Owning a farm these days. Mr..
Dittlinger said. is more profitable than
being the president and owner of an
ammunition factory, no matter how
large an establishment. To illustrate
his contention he showed how he can
make several thousand dollars from an
alfalfa field of 40 acres. The first cut.
he said, yielded a total of so tons. at
an average price of $50 per ton. The
second cut was equally profitable, while
he expects the other three cuts to
bring less than the first two.

SAXON LEADER PREDICTS
A VICTORY BY FORCE

Berlin, May COVE are not far
from peace but we can only obtain it
by the force of our arms and must
hold out a few months longer" said
Count Vitzthum, Saxon Minister of
the Interior, in a speech at Dresden.
The Minister predicted that the war
would end before snow falls again
and continued:
owe are ready to end the terrible
conflict by negotiations, but our enc
mics, who still believe that they can
crush US and were already sure of the
aid of the United States when they
rejected ourpeace oeffr with sneers and
insults, willed it different. There is
nothing left to us now but to strike
with all our might. We must and will
win.
"In the east we are victorious al
ready. The offensive power of the
Russians is broken, although several
months may pass before the Russian
people will be able to force their new
government to cut loose from the En-
tente and to enter into negotiations
for a separate peace.
"On the western front the new CO.
lossal offensive of the Allies will again
be shattered and the success of our
submarine war surpasses all expecta-
tions. Our food supplies are very
scanty, but they will reach until the
next harvest can be brought in. The
situation on the different battle fronts
has never been better than now and
our military strength today is greater
than at the beginning of the war.
Cali we have to do is to remain
united, grit our teeth and hold out.
Victory is in our grasp and cannot be
snatched from us by England, France
and the United States"

MRS. GLYNN SAYS WAR
MEANS DEATH OF SNOBS

London, May 3O.-Only one thing
will count after the war. That is
character. l used to be an anti-suffra-
gist and the most arrogant of conser-
vatives. Now l am a suffragist and
a democrat. This war meant the death
of cult and snobbery, except the snob-
berry of brains. That will never die
and perhaps it is worth preserving.
But the reverence for blood and
family and position which made peo-
pie accept almost anyone with these
has been destroyed. The war has
shown that courage, the knowledge of
how to suffer and be strong, the adapt
ability to fit oneself to ones surround
ings, are not the prerogatives only of
those with tradition and breeding,
generations of both, behind them.
Today, more than ever before, wom-
en- are true to themselves, and one
can write truth of them. They are
dropping intrigue, petty deception, the
subtlety which was a heritage from
the time when they had to use these
weapons against brute force. The
dramatic instinct and hysteria they
revealed in are gone forever.
| used to think women had not suffi-
GENTLY proven their worth and ability
to be given a vote. There were out
standing types of fine, splendid women,
of course, but women, as women en-
masse, seemed to me not fitted for
great things.
/ know now l was wrong. They
have had great opportunity of prov
ing their worth and they have not
been found wanting. They have done
wonderful things and the reward will
not have to be demanded; it will be
given. | can vision them going on
accomplishing, achieving. One can
not set any bounds to what they may
attain.
But most of all they must be true
to themselves. l wish that could be
a sort of Promethean fire in the souls
of all girls of today.
BY truth and concentration one can
get all things, and, above all things,
happiness. The girl of the future
has such a magnificent chance. She
will start untrammelled by convention
and tradition. The war has made
new world for her.
Social life will be greatly changed.
Isn't it changed now? l know that if
l like a person it does not matter to
me who or what he or she is in life
or what their antecedents may have
been. l like them for what I get
from them-brains and force of char
acter. '12iEs

WARNS SPEED LAWS
VANISH IN WAR TIME

New York, May 30.-The value of
automobiles in the work of mobiliza-
ton and other activities attendant
upon war was discussed here by Will
liam L. Lampeer, who is in New York
arranging automobile contracts for
the Canadian Government.
"The United States will have look
at some automobiles in high speed as
the military situation develops" said
Mr.. Lampeer, "and in that respect
they will but duplicate the amazed
tolerance of Canadian cities. The cars
are needed and the speed is needed
and what the military authorities need
will be approximately what the mill
tary authorities get.
Speed laws? They won't apply
For instance, there is a suburb out
side of Montreal which for years had
been noted for its stringent speed
laws. Any speed faster than eight
miles was financially dangerous, and
any speed higher than fifteen miles
resulted in Jail sentence. Since the
war that town has had a complete
change of heart. Recently l rode
through there and noticed large sign
under bad turn in the road. It
read:
Danger! Sharp curve! Slow down
to 40 miles"
