BANDITS SHOOT UP
SMALL VILLAGE
Eight Men Capture Wykoff, Min
neSota, and Escape With
$500 Loot.

Wykoff, Minn.-Eight men armed
with rifles and, sawed-off shotguns
took possession of this village of 500
population between and 4 o'clock in
the morning. While part of the band
patrolled the streets, firing indis.
criminately and ordering the citizens
to remain out of sight, the others
blasted their way into the vault OF
the Exchange State bank, cracked the
safe and escaped with about $500 in
cash.
The robbery probably was one of the
most daring of the many that have
been committed in Minnesota within
the last two years.
One group proceeded to the tele-
phone office, where the cables were
cut, while another group severed the
telegraph wires.
The bandits reassembled in front of
the bank and sent volley of shots
into the air. to arouse and intimate the
populace. Three men then set to work
forcing entrance into the bank build
ing while the others marched up and
down the streets, shouting warnings to
keep lights out and stay under cover.
The appearance of light was the
signal for broadside Of shots from
sawed-off shot guns.

SCARLET FEVER

CCARLET FEVER is one of the few
Efforts to ascertain It's cause have
been unsuccessful. although recent in
vestigations and experiments give hope
that we may soon have specific
treatment.
The germs which cause the disease
are apparently present lii the tonsils,
the blood, the Emphatic glands, and
on the mucous membrane of the
mouth, nose and throat
There is, AT present. no cure for
scarlet fever. Once it has attacked a
person, there is no curing" it. 1t will
run its course. 1t is comparatively
rare among grown people and chill
dren over ten years of age; among
young children, however, it is highly
contagious. 1t is widespread over the
entire world but is more prevalent in
temperate climates than in hot parts
of the world.
Efforts TO combat scarlet fever are
handicapped because the cause Of the
disease is not known; because we
have no direct method of controlling
it; and because many mild cases are
not recognized and consequently are
not treated and quarantined as scarlet
fever.
If your child suddenly feels tired
and out of sorts. if he has a
fever, a chill. or commissions. or If he
vomits. If the tongue Is coated. IL he
complains of sore throat. especially
If these symptoms are followed by a
rash. keep him away from other peo-
pie and call your doctor. Then do as
he directs in regard to quarantine. dis

you when it is safe TO let your child
again mingle with other children. Do
as you would like TO have other par
ents do. To keep your children well.
you must help TO keep other peoples

EARACHE A DANGER
SIGNAL

LAVE you ever noticed the hope
4 = less shut-in expression on deaf
persons face? Next to our eyes, our
ears are our most important sense or
gans. 1t is through the eyes and the
ears that we learn about the world
outside ourselves and keep in COM
munication with our fellows. A blind
man cannot see what is going on
around him but he can hear. and his
hearing generally becomes more acute,
to make up for his loss of sight.
But deaf person is cut off from
the world of sound. Not only human
voice but also all forms of music do
not exist for him.
Because the external ears are prom
inent features we generally think of
that part of the ear which we can see.
Yet the external ears are the least inn
portant part of our hearing machin-
cry. They are like the horn on the
monograph or the loud speaker on
the radio. Their function is to col
lect the sound waves and guide them
to the inner ear. The really important
part of our hearing apparatus lies in
surprisingly like the modern tele-
phone. A tight oval membrane, the
eardrum, corresponds to the dia-
phragm in the telephone. Three small
bones, held by ligaments and attached
so that they move when the drum
vibrates, transmit the sound in the
form Of motion to the auditory nerve
which carries the impulse to the brain.
Anything which interferes with the
perfect operation of this delicate ma
chinery will affect the hearing.
Wax in the outer canal will prevent
the air waves from entering or keep
the drum from vibrating. Adenoids
or enlarged tonsils in the throat may
close up the lower end of the canal
from the throat to the middle ear and
SO affect the air pressure that the
drum or the bones cannot move. In
fiammation Of any kind will produce
thickening Of the drum or cause the
ear bones to stick to each other. In
lection in the ear with the collection
of pus may rupture the drum or the
pus may work back into the deeper
structures in the bone producing deep
assesses, very dangerous 20 life.
Earache is not harmless complaint
of childhood, as some parents think.
1t Is a sign of deep infection which
may endanger life and certainly will
injure hearing.
Don't use hairpins, toothpicks.
matches, penholders or any other
hard substance in the ears.
Don't allow children to put any,
thing into their ears. Any foreign
object may produce deafness or in
jury to the ears.
If wax occurs remove 1t with soft
cloth or by gently Swinging the ear
with warm water.
If your child has earache find out
the reason for it. Hot water or hot
salt bags, warm sweet oil. onion poul-
tees and other household remedies
are good enough to control the pain
temporarily. But they do not remove
the cause of the pain.
Middle ear infection in children
following scarlet fever or measles or
due to persistent "colds" may endan-
ger life or may result in lifelong deaf
ness.
Take the same care Of your ears
that you do of your eyes. Earache
and deafness are danger signals.
Take warning in time.

Austin, Texas-Brushing aside all

the right of women to hold office,
Judge George C. Calhoun in Fifty
third district court, ruled that Mrs.
Miriam A. Ferguson is legally qualified
to be governor Of Texas.
In an opinion, which Mrs. Fergu-

exposition of the law and complete
vindication of the position of the first
woman nominee for governor, Judge
Calhoun declared thta neither the
constitution Of the state nor teh sta
tutes of the Legislature bar women
from office. He refused to grant a
temporary injunction to restrain cleo
ton officials from placing her name
on the ballot, which was requested by
the plaintiff, Charles M. Dickson OF

A few minutes before M. Loucherur

formula which, it was hoped, would so
revise the protocol on arbitration and
security, as to meet the objections of
the Japanese and the views of the
delegations opposed to the japanese
