UNsHAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test in DEBORAH. No DEBORAH resident
who suffers backache, or annoying
urinary ills can remain unconvinced
by this twice-told testimony.
Sever Olson, prop. blacksmith shop,
w. Water ST., DEBORAH, says: MANY
wears of hard work as blacksmith
has weakened my kidneys and
brought on attacks of backache.
When | have these attacks, it is
impossible for me to stoop over to
shoe a horse, because of the sharp
mains that catch me through the
small of my back. My kidneys acted
irregularly and the secretions are
highly colored. / never let the
trouble get good hold on me be-
cause | always use Doan's Kidney
pills from Engbertson's Drug Store
and they Away cure me up in fine
shape"
The above statement was given
September 81, 1915 and on February
9, 1920, Mr.. Olson added ! have
| the same confidence in Doan's as
ever. | gladly confirm all | said IN
nv former statement in praise OF
them. | take few Doan's once in
while and | am never troubled with
backaches and they keep my kidneys
regular"

FROST THREATENS CROPS.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 1S.-With
the storms of the past twenty-four
hours apparently over. Ohio farmers
and fruit growers were making prep
arations to fight heavy frost. pre-
dicted for tonight in this state by the
weather bureau. The frost may be
killing" in the lower sections. the
weather bureau announced.
The tornado which yesterday
wrought havoc in Indiana and Illinois
last night worked its way into Ohio,
cutting a swath through Auglaize and
Allen countries, in northwestern Ohio,
injuring three persons and doing much
property damage.
The tornado cut a path several hun
dred yards wide, passing south of Lima
and continuing in a northeasterly d.
rection. Several houses and at least
fifteen barns were reported demolished
and some live stock was killed. Wire
communication was demoralized and
trees and growing crops damaged.
The injured are Mrs. John Van
Fleet of Yoder, who was brought to a
local hospital after her home had been
razed by the wind, and Mr. and Mrs.
J. Riley of Buckland, a village south
of here, who were removed from the
wreckage of their home in a serious
condition.
Faulty telephone and telegraphic
communication has prevented a COM
plete check of the damage done.

DOWN WITH .AZZY VOTES 81 ATANNAH:
POLICE MUST DECIDE WHAT is JAZZ'
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
SAVANNAH, Ca, April 1S.-Jazz
at last is an outlaw. The Savan-
nah city council at a meeting late
Monday afternoon passed an ordi-'
nance barring jazz, syncopated or
otherwise, from the stage. from all
public dances, and presumably
from all homes, for the new law
makes 1t a crime 20 "engage" in
this terpsichorean pastime.
Now that the law is on the city
statute books. the city fathers are
looking for some one definitely to
define jazz. In the modern dance
where does jazz begin and where
does 1t leave of?
The law declares jazz" to be
indecent and Injurious to public
morals" and fixes a penalty of
$100 fine or thirty days in Jail
for those who participate In the
barred dance. or those who permit
it at affairs which they control.
The ordinance was adopted be-
fore the largest crowd that mas
attended council meeting in
years. Alderman A. J. Garfunkel
is the father of the anti-jazz
movement. He introduced the
ordinance ten days ago and 1t has
been the town talk ever since. So
great was the interest displayed
that Mayor Stewart decided to

PLAN WAYS TOEND
BIG MAIL RObbER|ES
Small Thefts Checked, De-
partment to Go After Or
qanized Bands.

I Having practically eliminated petty
mail robberies, the Post Office De-
| partment today considered ways and
/ mail thefts which are believed to
be the work of concerted bands of
! thieves.
+! In the past six months mail thefts
| totaling approximately s2,353,O have
| occurred in the United States, OF
which about 100000 has been recov-
cred The huge total was secured by
| robberies in ten major thefts. COM
mencing with the gigantic theft of
! S1.5O0.000 in New York city last fall
| All information in the hands of pos
(, tai inspectors points to the concerted
| work of organized bands of mail rob-
bers, who managed to pull" rob-
berries despite the efforts of United
/ States marines and others who were
| on guard.
| Use of the marines reduced the
number of smaller robberies to prac-
/ ticalIy nothing. and succeeded in cut
! ting the total amount of money lost
l
| Besides the big New York hold-up
from which none of the money ever
has been recovered. there was another
big robbery at Elkhart, Ind, early
| this year. The entire sum stolen
100000, was recovered.
| This amount represents the sum
total of what has been recovered
| in the ten major theft cases occur
| ring throughout the United States
, during the past half year. Postal
officials realize that the robbers are
[ laying low. concentrating their ef-
forts on big "jobs."
/! While officials are pleased with the
reduction in the number of smaller

I ton in relation to major robberies
is still serious The question of pos

of homicide against Barnet Epstein.
landlord of the apartment house in
Washington Heights in which Mrs.
Laurence Helms, twenty-five. and her
two small children were burned to
death today, was filed few hours
after their bodies had been found.
Mrs, Helms was the daughter Of
Charles A. Sherwood, general man
agcr Of the Boston Telegram. With
her children, Harold. two, and Flor
ence, three, she had rented the apart
mept only q few days ago.
Detectives investigating the cause
of the fire reported that The new five-
story building recently opened to ten
ants was without electricity or gas.
and that any one entering II after
sundown had to light candles or Ian
terms to see their way.
They also reported finding that Ep-
stein did not have a certificate OF
occupancy from the building depart
ment. Epstein, arrested upon the ad-
vice of Assistant District Attorney

"The professionals" said Alder
man Gordon Saussy, "emphasize

known to have q similar measure.
Those who spoke for the ordinance
said the young people needed some

bad thing, indeed, but no one has
been found yet who can draw up

ing in it's wake death and much destruc-
destruction. A loss of thirty lives was
attributed to the storm, which devel-
oped considerable energy as it progress
ed over Illinois and Indiana. taking in
many places the form of tornadoes.
Damage to property will mount into
millions, it is believed.
Accompanied by rains which sent
streams, then swollen, coursing far
beyond their usual channels, the
storm brought added suffering and
inconvenience to some communities
which for several days have been
affected by flood conditions. drop
in the temperature to below seasonal
normal added to the discomfort or
families whose homes having been
destroyed by wind or made unin-
habitable by foods are now living III
tents or improvised shelters.
Twenty-One Dead in Indiana.
Indiana apparently felt the full
effect of the wind storms yesterday.
In tina. state thirteen persons are
known to have met death in different
communities. Early yesterday morn
ing the storm centered in Illinois.
Striking number of villages in the
darkness, tornadoes wrought havoc
to many homes. and such reports as
were available from agricultural
communities which had been striped
of nearly all means of communication
indicated that thirteen persons had been
killed.
Missouri, Iowa and Kansas had felt
the storm early Sunday, but IN these
states it lacked the intensity which
marked it's sweep across Illinois and
Indiana and into Ohio.
AS it passed over Indiana there
were two distinct tornado belts. The
one in the southern part sustained
some damage. but across the northern
part of the state there was wind
swept strip in which the loss of life
was heavy. Warren county, in the
western part of the state. reported
loss of twelve lives. Four met death
in Madison county, in the central por-
ton of the state.
Two villages Wrecked.
The death toll was greatest in GEN.
trail Illinois. The villages of Irving
ton and Plainfield. near Centralia,
were badly wrecked and several per-
sons were killed. Other fatalities in
this state were in small rural COM
munities.
Wires were blown down by the
wind and telephone and telegraph
companies hurried today to complete
repairs. With restored communica-
ton it was considered probable that
the complete reports might indicate
even greater disaster than was lndi-
Gated early today.
