OLD MAN rs REVIVED
BY NEW GLANDS

A 75-year old man of London, Eng
land, boxed a round, fenced two as
saults, punched bag, and ran around
room in London apartment, while
Hartley street doctors looked on in
amazement.
The gentleman, with all this su-
perfuous "pep" was M. Liardet, DR..
Voronoff's most successful monkey
gland patient.
Two years ago Liardet was an old
decrepit gentleman with one foot in
the grave, so to speak, and the 9TH
er encased in gout bandages. He was
bald, poor of sight and hearing.
Today, he is as upright as guards
man, has fine head of golden grey
hair, perfect sight, and biceps and
thigh muscles like a prize fighter.
Harley street.-The London home
of the most exclusive and expensive
doctors in the world turned out in
full to see the nine-days' wonder and
got more their moneys worth.
aCome here" doomed 3young
Liardet to United Press represen-
tative, shake hands with me-"
The handshake was like the grip
of a star footballer's. Nothing flab-
by or old mannish about it.
Doctor yoronof, proud of his sue
cess, intends to try and line up some
notables for gland grating.

ATTEMPT TO ROB MONROE
CITY BANK

A crude attempt was made some
time between closing hour on Monday
and the time Of opening Wednesday
morning to rob the Citizens Bank,
here. The robbers it is thought, en-
tered through the back door, and
pried loose several bricks from the
top Of the north wall of the big vault,
but when they reached the concrete
which is some sixteen or eighteen in
ches thick gave up the attempt to en-
ter in that manner. They then strip
ped the vault door removing the
knob and bolts, but failed to open the
door. If any attempts was made to
work the combination it was unsec-
cessful as il bore no evidence of hav-
ing been tampered with. The con-
tents of one drawer Of the counter
were scattered about and is believed
that the would be burglars were
hunting for tools for which to force
an entrance to the vault. The work
appeared to be that of amateurs. No
money or valuables were taken and
only about two dollars worth of dam
age done to the vault. The Grand
Leader owned by Mrs. Lille Buckman
was also entered, but so far no goods
has been missed. The thieves enter
ed through one of the panels of the
back door. The glass had been broken
out of the door for some time and a
hoard that was nailed on in its place
was knocked off. No money was talk
en-, the contents Of the cash register
having been removed by Mrs. Buckr
man before going home, but the draw
er had been left open.-Paris Mer-
curry.

sANTE FE RAILROAD
CHECKS FORGED

Sante Fe detectives are looking for
three young men who are believed to
be guilty Of stealing and forging
three pay checks, Nov. 10. Twice q
month the Sante Fe employees file
through the lobby Of the freight build
ing, and are handed their pay checks
through latticed windows. Irregular
tiles have been SO few in this method
Of disbursement that last weeks an
nouncement came as an unpleasant
surprise.
Three men, all Of them out on their
regular runs, had their checks taken
up by three daring strangers. The
cheeks were cashed at the local banks,
and the strangers left town. II j.
claimed that one Of them had been
worIxingss on the road, and the other
two came from Moberly. Two Of the
checks were cashed at the Trust Com
pany bank. The checks were made
out to John E. Ford, for $41.93, and
Robert Waterfield, for $72.36. The
third check for $107.S9 was made pay
able to Earl Odell, and was cashed
at thS State Bank.
No blame is : attached to these
banks or to anybody for that matter,
except the forgers, as the checks were
valueless without the proper sigma
lures.
The men were clumsy however, and
the railroad company is confident Of
their capture. e.-Marcelne Herald.

Russian Influence in Fashions
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

The way that Russian dressmakers
leaped into prominence in Paris
through the success Of their efforts
to create a demand for Slavic cos
tumery is an old story. We have
gone beyond ancient absolute Rus
sian costumery, ppeasant and Boyar
French inspiration and American
practical commercial sense have de-
veloped a variety Of clothes which
suggest the Russian, but fit our mod
ern needs.
The crude coloration of the Rus
sian embroidery is at it's best in
sport clothes. Russian dressmakers
in Paris have realized this and are
getting into commercial touch with
the large American public through
the manufacturers. The French
wear their sport clothes with the
formality they accord to every CO.'S
tune. The American wears them
with the carelessness of a race of
sportswomen.
There is gown of white silk
jersey with cloth bands in pale blue
that was designed by the Russian
house. called Yteb for its owner. 1t

can woman In summer. A sketch of
it is given today.
This was sent over from Paris to
give American women an idea Of
what they can do in the way OF
outdoor clothes in order to make a
departure from the usual sweater
and skirt or short Jacket and one
piece frock. The skirt Of this. gown
is gathered to a long-waisted bodice:
There Is a wide belt near the normal
waist line; there are wide sleeves
The gown slips over the head.
The embroidery done on the bands
of Chinese blue fabric is a strange.
primitive design in black and yellow
threads. A narrow band of this
work adorns the neck and wrist line
The sunshade hat Is of white straw
faced with blue fabric and trimmed with
a wide scarf Of blue embroidered in the
black and yellow design.
The introduction of the gathered
skirt is a relief to all women who lead
an active life in the open. 1t is more
convenient than the narrow skirt OF re-
cent years 1t gives freedom to the hips
and the ankles. Once We thought it
ungainly. Now we accept it with quite
a show Of enthusiasm. We like it, and
for that reason we begin to talk OF the
ugliness of a skirt which caught US
across the end Of the corset and tripped
us Just below the knees.

A Fat Mans Fatuous Fancy.

This fat man is afflicted with what
appears to be an extremely popular
delusion:

Perhaps 1 am guilty of contributing
to this popular delusion that one can
reduce by taking exercises. l have
frequently reiterated that every in.

sumes and co the amount Of muscu-
lar work he does. be 1t called exer-
else, play or work. The dihculty

Some thin folks put on needed
weight by a faithfully followed sys-

underweight young men from stores
and offices gained an average of
twelve pounds in weight in the first
few months of rigid physical training
in the Army camps when we were
preparing for war.
AS Weber and Fields would say. IL
you don't take oudt as fast as you
