Muncie Money Buys Artificial
Leg and Happiness For Poilu

MUNCIE. Ind, Jan. s. Touching
stories Of heart interest that concern
the victims of German warfare in
France are conveyed in letters writ
ten by Pierre Desseaux, director Of
the military hospitals in the Avignon
district, France, and by Nine. Des-
seaux, his wife, to the French Relief
Society Of Muncie, which for a year
has been sending continuous stream
OF hospital supplies, clothing and
money to this district. Interest in
this district was aroused here by a
visit to Muncie of Mrs. Charles c.
Marsh, wife of the American naval
commander, who had worked in the
Avignon district before America be-
came involved in the war and who
while visiting her relatives here, told
of the needs of the French hospitals
in that region.
Amongst our wounded, wrote Mon
sieur Desseaux in a letter recently
received by the Muncie society, was
a young man whose leg the surgeons
found necessary to amputate to save
his life. The youth at first objected,
seemingly in dread of the operation,
but finally consented. when he be-
came convalescent," the letter said

dreaded the knife, or feared death,
that he objected, but it was because

look upon him with horror or even
with pity instead of with love was too
much for him. Then it was his nurse
said to him: Dumas, don't worry, for
we have some money sent us by kind
friends in America and with it we
shall buy you an artificial leg, much
like the real one you have lost. in

FAMOUS INDIANA
LEPER IS DEAD
AT FORT BRANCH
Widow and Daughter May Be
Imprisoned for from One to
Five Years, Belief.

FORT BRANCH, Ind, Jan. s.-For
more than year Mrs. David l.. Byers
and daughter have shared the isolation
of David l.. Byers, the Indiana leper.
In what proved to be his living tomb.
Byers is dead now and his body was
taken quietly. almost secretly. to
cemetery near here. There were no
attendants and no mourners,
Fort Branch breathes easier now but
it still faces serious problem, In the
widow and daughter OF the leper.
1t is probable that they will be com.
PEELED to stay in quarantine for an
other year at the least. 1t may be
five years however. for physicians say
that, once infected with leprosy, the
first symptoms of the disease may not
appear for from seven to twenty years.
Was Wanderer
Byers had been quarantined since
December IL, 1916. He was 70 years
old and had wandered over the world
seeking adventure. Shortly before ne
went into what became his living tomb
he returned to his home here, In the
sunset OF life, to spend his last days
in ease, with men he had known from
boyhood.
lQ6n IL was tudt LLS pSSulldI OlS-
ease he had been suffering from for
some years was diagnosed as leprosy.
With his wife and daughter he lived In
a five-room house until his death.
A telephone was his only communi
cation with the outside world. The
town marshal delivered groceries to
the home and always deposited them
in the front yard.
Now that Byers is dead Fort Branch
citizens fear that the quarantine will
be lifted and the wife and daughter
allowed to come and go as they please.
The time the women will be cOmpell-
ed to remain in quarantine will prob
ably be settled by DR.. ]. n. Hurty,
secretary of the state board Of health.
The daughter is about 40 years old.

iieved, however, that he got the dis

although it had progressed rapidly
through his body. He was suffering
from grip and 1t is believed that this
hastened his death.
His face and body were swollen and
he was nearly blind. His hands were
badly affected and ii Is said that
several finger tips had dropped off.

PARIS, Jan. THE one big topic
in official circles in France today is
the fate Of ex-Premier Joseph Call
laux and General Sarrail. There are
those in authority who see death
ahead for both of these lately es-
teemed men. 1t was predicted when
the "Old Tiger" George Clemenceau,
was made premier that little time
would elapse before Caillaux would
be brought to book.
Already CaillauX has been slated to
stand trial for his life General Mau-
rice Sarrail is back in France, recalled
from Salonica, and he, too, may face
similar tribunal. Paris believes his
official head will come off at least,
and possibly his physical head
When ex.Premier Caillaux, through
his close confidant. Louis Malvy, min
lister Of the interior and member of
the war council. was in power, he
almost succeeded in carrying through
scheme to bring back General Sar-
rail and invest him, like Joffre, with
the. rank of a marshal of France, pre-.
paratory to imposing him upon the
allies as commander in chief of all
the entente forces in France.
Started With MaIvy Trial.
Clemenceau last month undertook
to form an administration, with the
avowed purpose of calling to account
and of bringing to trial Louis Malvy,
profligate and gambler-he used to
lose as much as 10000 francs in a
night at poker--for all the reasonable
and dishonest acts of which he had
rendered himself guilty while form
ing part and parcel of the various
cabinets that had succeeded one an
other since the year before the war.
Then it was predicted Joseph Gail
laux would also be brought to the
bar OF justice, and that General Sar-
rail would be recalled from Salonica,
tut without receiving any other COM
mand or promotion.
Orders for Caillaux's trial were
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1918-01-08

given by General Duball, the military
governor of Paris.
1t may be regarded as singular
conjunction of events that Sarrail's s
return to his native land should take
place at the very same time as the
reported success of a Russian Boil
shevik plot against King Ferdinand
of Rumania
The responsibility of the invasion
of Rumania and for all the appalling
suffering which it has been called up
on to endure at the hands of the Ger
mans, of the Austrians, and especially
of the Bulgarians, has been laid at
the door of Sarrai
The charges against Sarrail hang to-
gether with those brought against JOS
eph Caillaux. Louis Malvy, Bolo
"Pasha," and all the remainder of the
unsavory crew, some of whom are
under lock and key. two or three Of
whom are dead under mysterious cir
tives from justice.
Editor Exposes Scandal.
Indeed, had it net been for the Vigo
and Bolo scandal. vigorously and pat
riotically exploited by LeLon Dsudlet
we might never have heard the true
story of the betrayal of Rumania, and
of the nefarious pro-German, anti
French, anti-entente, and, therefore,
anti-American, intrigues of ex-Premier
CalliauX and of former Minister of the
Interior Malvy
Malvy was compelled to resign from
the cabinet owing to the persistency
of the attacks brought against him
day by day in the Paris Action Fran
caise, edited and owned by Leon Daud-
let.
Finally, Daudlet addressed an Off
cial letter to the president of the re-
public, and copy thereof to Premier
Painleve, directly charging Melvy
with high treason and offering to fur
nish the proofs. This letter was read
in the chamber of deputies Malvy re-
signed.

Better than the rendy-ma6o Kind.
Easily prepared At home.


The finest cough syrup that money
can buy, costing only about one-ifth as
much as ready-made preparations, can
easily be made up at home. The way it
takes hold and conquers distressing
coughs, throat and chest colds will
really make you enthusiastic about it.
ANY druggist can supply you with
21a ounces of Pinex. t60 cents worth.
Pour this into a. pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain gIanulated sugar
ready for use. The total cost is about
G5 cents and gives you a full pint-a
family supply-of a. most effectusl,
pleasant tasting remedy. 1t keeps per-
fectly.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs-loosens
and raises the phlegm., soothes and heals
the infamed or swollen throat mem
branes, and gradually but surely the
annoying throat tickle and dreaded
cough will disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
whooping cough or bronchial asthma
Pinex is special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, and is known the world
over for its prompt healing effect on the
throat membranes.
Avoid Disappointment by asking your

isfaction, or money promptly refunded,
goes with this preparation. The Pinex

Becoming Mayor Too
Much For This Man

FRANKFORT, Ind, Jan 8-Dr Os-
car w. Edmonds, Republican, who was
sworn in last week as mayor of this
city, today collapsed just few min
utes before he was to assume charge
OF the office, and has since been un.
conscious at his home. DR.. Edmonds
has been suffering from illness for
more than year, and it is believed
the strain of the few hours before the
time to take the office of mayor caus-
ed the sudden breakdown. DR.. Oil
yer Gard, the retiring mayor, was
ready to so to the home of Dr.. Ed.
monds to escort him to the mayors
office when word came that the new
mayor had collapsed. DR.. Gard also
is Republican.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkan. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en-.
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
