Gunderberg visited ST. Boniface Gene
terry three weeks ago. bearing flowers
to place upon the last resting place
of her daughter Glare. she saw evil

found, upon investigation, that ghouls
had dug down to the spot where the
body had lain for eight years.
A portion of the coffin lid had been
chiseled off and two valuable diamond
rings-one of them" an engagement

of the three rings buried with the
body remained. The two rings taken
were valued at $3.50.

SOME OF PRESIDENT
WILSON'S ARGUMENTS
IN BEHALF Of TREATY

Article X. seems to me to con-

league would be hardly more than
an influential debating society.
Problems in readustment of our
national life cannot be postponed
without manifest peril to our peo-
pie and to all the national advan-
tages we hold most dear"
Our full, normal, profitable pro-
duction waits on peace. Our mill
tary plans wait upon it.
There can be no stabilization of
wages because there can be no set
tied conditions of employment.
Every suggestion of the Unled
States after Presidents conference

Eat less; chew your food thoroughly,
