My own idea is that Schalk was no,
Disgusting genius under a short hair

be summed up in one word-PIEw
The warden thinks Schalk got a

thought he would and drove Off with

WOMAN WITH TWO HUSBANDS
Calls on Police to Settle Argument and
Is Placed Under Arrest on Charge
Of Bigamy.

Cleveland, O.-Police here are deal
ing with the peculiar situation In
which an unnamed woman finds her
self. Fifteen years ago the woman
was married to Minnesota man ani
moved with him to Cleveland, where
they opened a small shop. A year ago
the woman disappeared. Three months
later she came back to town with
man whom she introduced to her hus-
band as her new husband. and showed
n marriage license from Toledo to
prove that she had another man."
An argument, apparently good-na-
tured, followed. and husband No. I
proved to he a good talker. for his
wife went back to him. Then she left
again and sought out No. 2. The two
husbands tried argument again. but
this time the woman said policeman
would have to decide the question as
TO whom she ought to live with, so
they all went 10 a police station and
told the story. The prosaic sergeant
could see no love to the case and held
the woman on n charge Of bigamy.
She Is waiting action by the court ne
present, while the husbands fraternai-
iy seek some way TO help her out of
her trouble.

ROYAL PALACE LITTLE USED
Castle Of Nuremberg, In Germany,
Was, However, Always Kept In
READINGS for Occupancy.

Every large city in Germany has a
palace or two, some more. Hanover
has four, Dresden has two, Stuttgart
has four, and so on. All of these were
occupied more or less permanently by
members of the reigning family. AS an
example Of one not so occupied. but al
ways kept ready for occupancy, may
be mentioned the castle of Nuremberg.
1t Is of the medieval type; thick
stone walls. towers, dungeons and all
the things that go to make up the cas-

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT

An examining physician for one of the

so many applicants for insurance are re-

majority of those whose applications ara

judging from reports from druggist
who are constantly in direct touch wit

has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and heaiinI
