GLAND Thieves
KIDNAP TWO IN
CITY OF CHICAGO
Chicago Police Have Most Unusual
Cases for SOlvlng-TwO Men
Kidnapped and Drugged

Chicago, Oct. 14.-History repeated
itself after 1000 years, as the opera
tions OF a band of gland thieves were
reported to Chicago police today.
Two men we're reported within the

upon by the gland robbers.
Captain Thomas Coughlin, head of
the police squad investigating the
strange crimes, advanced the theory
that the gland-snatchers were operat-
ing under orders of a wealthy aged
Chicagoan seeking rejuvenation.
Tho robbers, according to Captain
Coughlin, removed one gland from
each victim.
! There was a startling similarity in
the manner in which the two mer

several congenial companions in
saloon and later was, kidnapped ant
drugged. When he regained conscious
ness the operation had been perform
ed.
Several hours after the Woznial
case was reported, a woman calle
police headquarters and said her hus
band had ben a victim of the CLAN
robbers while intoxicated. Polio
rushed to the home to make a thor
ough investigation.
The Wozniak operation was pei
formed by someone familiar with tn
technique OF a surgeon. Wozniak wa
beset in the clinical district of the cit.
leading DR.. Walter Sullivan of Nero
Hospital to advance the theory thf
some inferno employed in a clinic ha

The Way He Should Go.

"Train up child in the way he
should go; and when he is old, he
will not depart from it." This is the
advice of the old Biblical proverb.
It applies just as much to health
habits as it does to the child's be-
haviour along other lines.
The New York health department
has issued a bulletin giving simple
instructions to children on the best
way to avoid contracting the conta-
gious diseases common to childhood.
Here are some of the rules:
"Keep away from children who
are suffering from severe colds, COM
plain of sore throats and say they
don't feel we'll. Without being un-
kind, you need not play with them,
or exchange candy or gum, or fruit
of any kind.
"Do not borrow or lend pencils
at any time; and never put your own
pencil in your mouth.
"Do not visit with playmates who
are not well; they may be coming
down with diphtheria, scarlet ferev
or measles; and as a rule the early
stages are the most dangerous.
"Do not go into any house where
there is warning sign pasted on the
outside. The only safe way is not to
expose yourself knowingly. Take no
chances"
The Glide who is trained to follow
these rules will have a basis for
avoiding contagious all of his life.
He will elaborate the instructions as
his knowledge increases, but the
main thing is that he will have form
ed the habit of health preservation
through sensible precautions in his
childhood, and "when he is old he
will not depart from it." His knowl-
edge in turn will become legacy to
his children and his children's chill
dren-Sumter Item.

Grain Drill Best for Sowing
Oats and Rye.

Flowing or narrowing in oats and
rye were pretty good methods as
long as a better one was not avail
able. There is a better method.
A. P. Spencer, vice-director of
agricultural extension in Florida,
mentions some of the advantages of
the grain drill for seeding oats and
rye: The drill insures uniform depth
of planting. The seed will have an
equal chance and none will be too
deeply or too thinly covered. The
drill will give uniform distribution
and apply The proper amount Of
seed. The land must be well prepar-
ed fcr the drill and consequently a
better seedbed for the grain will be
provided.
When the seed are plowed in some
are not covered and they fail to
sprout for lack Of moisture. Others
are covered too deeply and fail to
get up until it is too late.
Professor Spencer suggests that
when the soil is light il should be
rolled after the seed have been drill
ed in. Then after rolling it should be
narrowed to give the soil moisture
retaining surface.-Progressive Far
mer.
