JUDGE SMITH REFUSES TO
TAKE I. w. w. CASE FROM
JURY.
DEFENSE WILL SUMMON
PROMINENT "WIlLIEs"
Either Haywood, Walsh or Carol
inc Lowe May Be Called to Testify
in Defense Of Man Charged With
Criminal syndieaIism Trial to
Degenerate Defense Of !. w. w.

Cedar Rapids, Feb. 2i.-Another
attempt OF the defense 10 prevent
the case from reaching the jury in
the, trial of Henry Tom, accused OF
criminal syndicalisu, was defeated
yesterday, when Judge Milo p. smith
in the district court at Marion, over
ruled three motions for dismissal,
and ordered the defense TO be ready
10 present its case this afternoon.
Following defeat of the defense's
fight TO prevent the case from going
10 trial last Monday, the action came
as a surprise for the state, and re-
suited in another material victory
for the prosecution.
Attorney Harold .. Mulks, Toms
couns sci. backed his contentious with
a complete library OF law books, and
about a dozen citations o. precedent
cases. He endeavored TO show the
court that If there was conspiracy
involving Tom. il was developed in
Illinois and outside the jurisdiction
OF the local court, and that the state
had failed TO specify a single overt
act committed in the state of Iowa.
His arguments failed to influence the
court and the decision was plainly
favorable to the state.
Surprise is Contemplated.
Rumor after rUmor spread thru
the court house concerning another
surprise action being planned by the
defense. II became generally known
this morning that Attorney Mulks
had been called TO Chicago Satur-
day night for a conference with lead
ers OF the l. W. W. on the Tom
case. He left Cedar Rapids at mid
night Saturday and did not return
until early today. AS the story goes.
Attorney Mulks is ambitious 10 bring
10 the witness stand, at least one or
two OF the most prominent leaders of
the organization for which Tom ad-
rairs solicited memberships. Con-
corning the mysterious witnesses,
Attorney Mulks was non conmittal,
but it is rumored that any one Of the
following three may be placed on the
stand: Big Bill" Haywood, general
secretary OF the I. w. W; Frank P.
Walsh, q noted labor attorney, or
Caroline Lowe, a prominent writer.
Definite information on who the Chi
cago counsel of the l. W. w. will
send here, will not be available be-
fore tonight 1t is the defense's aim

EVERYBODY WRITING NOVELS.
John Murray, Publisher, Says Many
Want to Be Authors.

Want to Be Authors.
BY Associated Press.
Z London, Feb. 7.-,More books are
being written today than ever before
in the history of publishing. says
John Murray, widely known publish
er. The average Is better than 1t
was thirty or forty years ago." he
added. Great numbers Of people
have contracted a feverish desire to
write novels, but many Of them have
no real knowledge OF the aathors
craft. and are unequal to the task
they undertake. Any successful novel
now seems TO call into existence
veritable host OF aspirants who are
fired to emulate the happy author.
Two vital qualities which are
often lacking in the novelist of today.
are Il sense of humor. and really
clever working out or the plot.
1T is too early yet 10 say what Will
be the effect of the war on fiction.
Recently there has been ten
dency for novelists to deal with sex
problems in their stories. ! sincerely
hope this is passing phase. My
experience is that the wholesome
novel meets with success just now"
Mr. Murray said the present de-
mand in war books Is for his
tories of regiments and divisions,
many OF which are being written,
and will form the material for a
permanent history OF the war. This
he said could not be written for
many years.

Be Young In Body, Mind and
Looks Despite Your Years

How often you have
wished that you could
indulge in the strenu-
Gus exercise Of out
door sports with the
vigor and enthusiasm
of youth! But the
end Of the week finds
you all in you are
tired. listless and lack
theenergytogo out for
a vigorous walk or a
round of the links-or
any other exercise that re-
quires much physical exer-
ton. Many q man, even in
his middle forties, has a
vague feeling that he is
getting old"-and right
at q time when he should be
at his very best physically.
Andheisgrowing old, not
in the sense that the years
are pressing heavily upon
him-but in the sense that
his vital forces are wasting
away faster than Nature re-
places the worn out tissues.

How to End Them

To relieve colds or stuffed up head,
use either the Men-tho-eze DAY or
Night" Treatments shown at the right.
To prevent colds-to fortify the tiny germ
nests" against infection - insert Men
tho-eze each night and morning In nostrils.
Men-tho-eze Is a scientific, antiseptic
cream. When inserted in nostrils, it in
SANITY turns into an all-covering, soften
ing. healing autiseptic oil.
It provides a sal antiseptc cream for
constant home use, And, because it forms
m oily coating over the tiny germ nests, J"
It holds the antiseptics in contact for hours.
This accounts for its wonderful efficacy.

1t is announced in the London
press that company has been
formed with the object of lowering
the price of boots and shoes to the
customer, taking the place Of the
middleman. The profit accruing 10
the company will be approximately
PA per cent, and it is estimated that
the accumulated profit upon a pair

What Germ Nests" Are

Germ nests" are tiny inches, cracks, crevices
and pockets in nose and throat passages. There
are thousands of them. And millions Of germs
lodge and breed in them.
A single germ, lodged in such fertile soil, often
starts an infection that spreads poisonous dis
charges throughout the entire body. Or it may
be the beginning OF colds and dreaded influenza.
Modern living gives little hope Of -
evading germs. The problem of science +
has been TO Danish many of their dangers
And now, after years Of 1esearch, remedy
has been found.
