TO TRY WISCONSIN
SCHOOL TEACHER

Grace Lusk. slayer of Mrs. David
Robertsefor love of her husband, ex-
pected to see a jury completed today
to try her on murder charges Eigh-
teen tentative jurors accepted by both
sides sat in the box when the third
days session opened this morning.
When Two more men are accepted,
twelve will be chosen from the TWEEN
ty, according to Wisconsins legal pro-
cedure.
The spectre of spending her remain
ing days IN an asylum rose before the
school teacher today as she sat in
the court room beside her father, who
left his dentist office in a small town
ito aid his baby" The prosecution
in selecting jurors indicated that. if
the inSa nifty defense succeeds the state
will ask to have Miss Lusk confined
in the state hospital for insane. Judge
Lueck's instructions to the jury are
expected to be a determining factor
on this issue. The defense hopes to
establish that Miss Lusk was temper
arily insane when she shot her lover S
wife and tried to kill herself, but that
she il now sane and entitled to her
freedom.
The crowd that watched the young
woman on the rack speculated today
on the probability that she would take
the stand in her own defense and ba re
her relations with Doctor Roberts. The
defense also plans to call him to
testify, but Doctor Roberts may refuse
to talk. Department of justice agents
are in the court room watching for

THIN PEOPLE

and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually being
advertised for the purpose of making thin
people fleshy, developing arms. neck and
bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
Of men and women who keenly feel their
| excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods Physicians claim there il nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate. which is mex
pensive and is sold by TulIy-McFariand,
Waggoner g. Goodrich and most all drug
| gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or
| money back. By feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with the
necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate quickly produces a welcome
| transformation in the appearance; the in
| crease in weight frequently being astonish-
| ing.
This increase in weight also carries with
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of

excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull
eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow

Lawrence, May 15.-That the uni

sage Of the permanent income amend
ment to the state constitution for state
institutions. is making a fight also
against log-rolling and vote-trading in
the state legislature. is the statement
made by Dean F. J. Kelly. of the
school of education of the university,
in an address delivered before the men
of the First Methodist church Friday
night.
THE agricultural school need never
fear for appropriations" said Dean
Kelly. The state is essentially an
agricultural one and every farmer has
almost daily reminders of the worth
of that institution. The university,
however, with it's scientific schools, is
at disadvantage in that the average
voters and legislator cannot see the
need for money to be spent on labora-
tories about which he knows nothing
There will come a time when our
state schools will be operated on much
the same plan as we manage our city
schools. A central board will deter
mine how much money is needed for
their support and that amount Will De

city school taxes are placed on the
rolls. This placing of the income OF
the state institutions on mlii-taA
basis instead of a lump-sum basis Is

AMERICAN AID BIG
British Naval Expert Praises
q. s. Navy.
Ready To Battle Huns Any
Time They Come Out.

London, May 15.-American naval
aid has been OF the greatest to the
British fleet, says Archibold Hurd, the
naval expert, writing in the Daily
Telegraph on the new situation in the
North sea resulting from the Zee
brugge and Ostend raids, the extension
of British mine fields and the general
ly increasing naval pressure against
Germany.
The Germans can have battle
whenever they want it. The strength
of the grand fleet has been we'll main
tanned. Some of the finest battleships
of the United states navy are now as
ISOLATED with it. They are not only
splendid fighting ships but they are
well differed and manned.
III Admiral Beatty were asked his
opinion there is no doubt of what he
would say of the value of the aid
which the United States has given in
this respect. The conditions under
which the Germans would engage us.
therefore, are less favorable than two
years ago."
