WHY ONES TEETH "CHATTER"
Certain Set of Muscles, Affected by the
Cold, Get to Work, Irrespective
of Will.

The little muscles which close the
Jaw are acted upon by the cold in such
a way that they pull the jaw up and
then let it fall by its own weight.
This, repeated many times, causes
the teeth to click together and produce
what we know as ''chattering."
We think of it in connection with
our teeth because 1t is the teeth which
make the sound, but the cause lies In
the muscles which we use in chewing
or in opening our mouth when we
speak.
The chattering occurs in spite of thu
will or brain. We have little control
over 1t, and can stop it only by clench-
ing the teeth. 1t is really a mild va
riety of spasm caused by the cold,
which acts on the jaw muscles In much
the same way that some poisons pro-
duce muscular spasms which cannos
be controlled.

Pittsburg Police Asked to Find
Medina Couple.

Complaint was made to Sheriff
Bigelow last Thursday by Mrs. Jas.
Schamp that her husband had desert
ed her the previous day and in conn
pany with Alice Barnett, Is, daugh-
ter Of w. S. Barnett of Homestead
street, had gone to Pittsburg. &
Investigation disclosed that Mrs.
Schamp's statements were probably
correct, as the conductor Of the 1880
southbound interurban car last We'd
nesday is said to have seen the couple
get or the car together at Medina and
leave itat Wooster, where it has since
been learned, according to the sher-
iff, Schamp purchased tickets for
himself and companion to Pittsburg
over the Pennsylvania railroad.
There seems to be some question in
court circles as to just which law, il
any. Schamp has laid himself amen-
able. The consensus of opinion at
present, however, is that he may be
held for violation of the Mann Act,
better known as the white slave" law
In transporting a woman from one
state to another for immoral purpos-
es. Mrs. Schamp also states that
her husband took with him their mar
rlage license, obtained at the time OF
their marriage last December.
Sheriff Bigelow mailed pictures Of
Schamp and the Barnett girl to the
ponce department of Pittsburg, with
the request that the department make
search of the city for the couple.

BROKEN WATER MAIN
ENDANGERS VILLAGE

Had fire got started in the busi-
ness or any thickly settled part of the
village on Monday of this week, what
the result would have been can only
be left to the imagination, but in all
probability it would have resulted
very disastrously ,inasmuch as the vii
lage was without adequate fire pro-
lection from 8 o'clock in the morning
until nearly 6 o'clock in the evening.
The reason for this was rupture
of the water main on Friendship
street nearly opposite the stand pipe,
when a huge steam shovel in excavat-
ing for paving job tore off connect
ing joint, and the excavated portion
OF the road formed deep dam that
was flooded with the escaping wat
er for several hours.
Workmen experienced considerable
difficulty in repairing the break, fin
ally sealing the ruptured main with
molten lead toward evening. ~

Arnold's companions were able to re-

slipped from the mems grasp as
they were lowering it to the ground
with a rope and it fell distance of
about ten feet.
At first it was thought that Ar

his fall, is likely to confine Arnold

Action

from her husband, Clyde Johnson.
The Johnsons reside in Litchfield
where they own a farm of about 88
acres. They were married June a,
1910, and have three children.
The plaintiffs first cause of action
is given as habitual drunkenness.Sec-
ond that defendant has repeatedly
struck her in the face, called her vile
names, and that on last Thanksgiv-

threatened to shoot her. Last Sum

his wife he was through with her,
that she could "go in rags, eat dry
bread and potatoes" and topped it off
