Mulcts Rich Matrons
Gets Orders for Corsets; Takes tt
Heels With the Deposits.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va.-Several
OF Huntington exclusive society wo-
men have been taken in by an I'M
identified person of male persuasion
masquerading as woman, who posed
as a corsetier dealing only in custom
made stays of the most exclusive kind
and the highest quality.
The pseudo corsetier came to this
city a month ago and lived here for
almost two weeks. During that time
"she" obtained entree into the most
exclusive circles because OF her win
ming personality and the exquisite line
of corsets she had with her as samples
OF what all might expect if they gave
their order and paid down half the
price.
The corsetier was kept busy. Her"
visits included only the most exclusive
homes, where she measured customers
and collected a deposit.
How much society matrons of Hun
tington were mulcted out of no one
can say, as nearly all of those victim
lied will not talk.
When the cOrsets were not delivered
within two weeks, as promised, an in
vestigation was begun, which disclosed
the corsetier to have been man.

PRISONER TELLS
OFLIFE IN loft. ROOM
FIRST WHITE MAN TO BE
HELD CAPTIVE BY BROWN
MEN FELT HORRORS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Henry
Won Reidelstein, who tells the following
vivid personal story of experiences
which befell the FIRST white soldiers
ever held captive by the brown" is
distinguished Hungarian artist and
was lieutenant of the German forces at
| Tsingtau, China, when captured dur
ing the world war. Together with s.
| 900 fellow captives he was held tlve
years in Japanese military prison
camps.
By Henry Won Reidelstein.
| can but suggest rather than re-
veal the whole story of my imprlson-
ment in Japanese war camp, IN these
brief sentences.
There was some sickness, much
drinking in the camp, and eighteen
suicides among the 1000 men crowded
together, with an exercise ground no
larger than four tennis courts. For five
years we stayed there, not permitted
to leave the camp, surrounded by poor
sanitation and lacking both employ
ment for hand and mind and exercise
for our bodies.
Hated Each Other.
For five years | slept and ate in
room ten feet square with eight others.
We were happy at first in the eX-
pectation Of a German triumph!
But the months grew, and how we
hated each other! Indifference, then
despair and then hatred. The only re-
lief came when death took three OF the
men in our room and we had new per-
sons to get acquainted with, then
quarrel with, and to hate bitterly.
Knowing no Japanese, we could not
even talk with them on the outside,
| must say in behalf OF the natives
on the prison island that they were
kindly, and many offered to become
bondsmen for release Of Captives from
close confinement, but everywhere
Japan's stern military rule resisted
amelioration.
We appealed for labor and pleasant
tasks. They were refused. We asked
to be allowed to leave the camp tor
walks in the fields. We were told that
the natives objected to our tread1ng
their rice fields. Our money, what lit
tie we had, was taken from us when
liquor was served to the men, scores
of whom with nothing to do spent
their all for alcohol and forgettulness,
only to pay a greater price in sickness
and death.
The Japanese guards told us that
this was the first time Japanese ever
! had white men for prisoners and they
| had instructions to allow us no liber-
ties.
The natives organized excursions to
come out and look at us-the Mikado's
prisoners.
Mean, Petty Tricks.
The militaryism of the army was re-
/ fected not in great ways but in mean,
petty tricks that annoyed and made
men desperate. Little plants and vines
we had planted were torn up; little
drawings and toys destroyed with i'm
placable calmness,
For a year l have been slowly re-
gaining my strength in japan, where,
after my release, the Japanese people
were very kind. I cannot blame the
ipeople.

COULD BEAT HANDS
SHUCkING HIS CORN
AT LEAST ]. A. WHITE WOULD
BET so, AFTER BEING RE-
LIEVED OF DYSPEPSIA BY
TANLAC.

MY wife and myself have had stom-
ach trouble" says Mr.. ]. A. White,
residing on the Leestown Pike, K. r.
d. No. 6, near Lexington, KY, and
have both been nervous and run
down."
1--WE could not see anything without
suffering afterwards and could not
sleep at night We were regular ner-
vous dyspeptics. We tried many RENE
dies without permanent benefit until
we heard of Tanlac. | got this medi-
cine and began using it. We noticed
immediate results. We are both greatly
improved by Tanlac We give all cred
it for the change Of health to Tanlac.
1t is a remarkable medicine.
Il personally feel SO good that told
my hands day or two ago that |
could beat any of them shocking corn.
| meant it and believe | could have
beat 'em all.
OF all the maladies that afflict hui
mainly chronic dyspepsia, such as Mr..
and Mrs. White suffered from, is prob
ably the most prevalent and hours
might be consumed in describing the
sufferings, mental and bodily, of the
victims OF chronic dyspepsia.
A morbid, unreal, whimsical and
condition of the mind,
aside from the nervous physical suffer
ing, is the usual state OF the average
dyspeptic and life seems scarcely
worth the living.
Tanlac, the celebrated medicine, was
designed especially for overcoming this
distressing condition and millions of
people have taken it with the most as
tonishing and gratifying results. 1t
seems to go straight to the spot, ton
ing up and invigorating every organ
OF the body.-adv.

WOULD PROVIDE RECALL
FOR COM MISSIONERS
HOW THE TERRELL COUNTY
BOARD MAY BE REDUCED
IF PEOPLE DESIRE 1T.

4 bill providing a uniform method
OF creating boards of county commits
sioners in all counties not having
boards at the present time, and OF
abolishing boards in counties which
have them, has been approved by the
senate committee on county and coun-
ty matters.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Ellis, of Triton, and has attracted wide
spread attention among members OF
the house and senate.
Provisions of Bill.
1t provides that counties not having
boards OF commissioners or a COM
missioner at the present time, may
create the same by a vote of the peo-
pie without an act of the legislature.
One-third of the voters by petition in
writing addressed to the ordinary
would call an election to decide the
question. In that election, which could
not be held in an election year, the
voters would vote for or against a
board of commissioners or commits
sioner, and would signify on their bal
lots whether they favored one COM
missioner or a board of three or five.
In the event majority of those vot-
ing should decide in favor of COM
missioner or a board of commissioners,
the same would take effect and the
commissioner or commissioners would
be elected in the next ensuing general
election.
Where a county has commissioner
or commissioners one-third OF the vot
ers by similar petition could initiate
an election to determine whether the
board should be reduced from five to
three, or from three to one, or from
FIVE to one, or whether the board or
the commissioner should be abolished.
The decision of majority would de-
termine the question.
County Manager Plan.
In addition to the above, the bill
provides for the office of county super
visor in every county now having a
commissioner or board of commission
ers, or which may hereafter create the
same. The county supervisor would be
in effect the general manager of the
business affairs Of the county, with full
authority to hire and fire" the county
employees in all departments.
In counties having one commissioner
the commissioner would be the coun-
ty supervisor The purpose of creating
the position OF county supervisor, eX
planned Senator Ellis, is to bring about
increased efficiency in the business al
fairs of the counties.

Living Costs off Twenty
One Per Cent in Year
$1.61 Now Buys What You Could
Get for a Dollar in 1914

yet TOT DoIlar IN 1917.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-Clothing
with an average increase in price of
nine-tenths of per cent, was the only
necessity that went up during the
month of June, according to statistics
covering the entire United States, made
public today by the national industrial
conference board.
Food was the only item that went
down, the decrease being figured at
three-tenths of l per cent. All other
items remained stationary. The de-
crease i'll the average cost of a typical
wage earner's family for the month
was figured at two-tenths of per cent
The statistics showed the decrease OF
living costs during the year ending
July amounted to Fl per cent. Count
ing the reductions up to July l, how
ever, living costs will show net de-
crease of OF per cent over those OF
July /, 1914.
Simply stated, the latter fact remains
that whatever you can buy for $1.6l
today you could have had for an ever
dollar in 1914, or unless your income
equals now 1.61 for every dollar earn
ed in 1914 you are not even with the
board. Mars has "stung" you.

WOMEN URGED TO SMOKE
PIPES LIKE FRENCH LADIES
One Suitable for Their Use Has Been
Put on the Market.

LONDON.-That the time has
come when women should take up
pipe smoking was the revolutionary
suggestion of Alfred Dunhill in a pa
per read at the Tobacco Exhibition in
London, according to the London
Morning Post.
Mr.. Dunhill said that, catching up
TO the times, or being perhaps little
ahead of them, he had ventured to put
on the market pipe suitable for the
use of ladies. He claimed that it was
not at all new idea. The ladies OF
the Court of Louis XIV were regular
pipe smokers, though not in the pres
ence of the king.

LEAGUE FOR LOWER
TELEPHONE RATES
ALBANY MAYOR INDICATES
FIGHT WILL SOON BEGIN
IN GEORGIA.

ALBANY, Ga.-Georgia cities soon
may band themselves together in a
fight for lower telephone rates under
the leadership OF the Municipal League
of Georgia, according to Mayor H. A.
Peacock, of Albany who scored the
Southern Bell Telephone Company be-
fore meeting OF the city council here
Tuesday night. Mayor Peacock stated
the Municipal League had taken no
action on the matter, but that express
sions be heard at the recent meeting
in Atlanta from representatives OF
many municipalities convinced him
that sentiment is ripe for such action.
Mayor Peacock asserted that the
rate increase recently allowed the tele-
phone company by the railroad COM
mission was an unWarranted tax laid
on the home and industry of the state
to swell the income of a corporation
whose profits are concealed through
expenditures made with other corpo-
rations of practically the same ownerr
ship
Failure of the telephone company
to erect a 100000 building in Albany,
as it promised to do two years ago,
also was scored by the mayor, who
said Albany practically was bribed off
from opposing the rate increase
through this promise. He said he had
just learned on good authority that
the phone company had leased its
present quarters for another five years
and expressed doubt if the building
ever would be erected.

HIDES OF 10000 OXEN
USED TO BUILD AIRPLANE

MANCHESTER, Eng.-To build
an airship of the R-33 type by the old
method of construction required no
fewer than $4,000 gold-beaters' skins
for the gas bags, remarks The Man
chester Guardian, which necessitated
the slaughter OF about 100000 oxen.
Then came about an invention by
which the number of skins necessary
was greatly reduced.
