22 YEARS IN PRISON
0sman Digna, Thorn in Side Of
British in Holy War in eos,
Wins Release.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTREAL, October ga special
cable to the Montreal Star yesterday
announces that Osman Digna. famous
in the days when the Mahdi was
waging his holy war against the
British in the Sudan. and who was
captured three years after the bat
tie OF Omdurman, when Lord Kitch-
ener finally subdued the fanatical
dervishes. the followers Of the ca
lifa, has been released after 20 years
of solitary confinement from a cell
at Wadi Halfa. Osman il now on
a pilgrimage to Mecca.
According to the Stars cable. the
British foreign office had forgotten
all about Osman until the question
was raised at the last session of
Parliament.
During Great Britain's Sudanese
troubles in the last quarter of the
nineteenth century Osman Digna was
one of the most fanatical, persistent
and most cunning of the British enc
mics. He had been variously a came!
driver and slave trader. and when. in
1882. Mohammed Ahmed, the "Mahdi,'
raised the standard of rebellion in
the Sudan and proclaimed "jehad."
or holy war, Osman threw himself
into the struggle with great fervor
He was made emir Of Eastern Sudan.
Osman himself took little part in
the actual fighting, but was the
genius directing the activities of the
fanatics. For more than Is years he
was thorn in the flesh Of the Brit.
ish. who did not completely subdu.
the Sudan rebels until 1897, when.
at the battle of Omdurman, the
califa, who had succeeded the Mahdi
was killed.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. October 22.--
Whether the Committee OF Progress

Toilette and Burton X. Wheeler for
President and Vice President, re-
spectively, is entitled to place in
spectors, challengers and witnesses
In the voting houses in Cuyahoga
County election day. November 4.
now Is before the State Supreme
Court for decision.
The case, brought by supporters OF
the independent candidates to com
pei the Cuyahoga County election
board to grant the inspectors, wit
nesses and cha,lengers, was argued
yesterday.
The election board had refused to
grant the request on advice of the
county prosecutor
The question at issue is whether
the Committee for Progressive Po-
litical Action Is In fact a political
party entitled TO all the privileges
OF the two major parties, Democrat
and Republican.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Parsons, representing the election
board, contended that the Committee
for Progressive Political Action is
not responsible for the list OF La
Toilette Wheeler electors on the bal
'ot, but that the petitioners are respon-
sible. The organization, he contended, Is
merely aiding the La Toilette
Wheeler candidates. and are not the
legal candidates OF that organiza-
ton. The court probably will render
is decision next Tuesday.

SILOx PROVES
BEST POWDER
FOR THE BABY
Amazing New Preparation
Absorbs All Moisture and
Prevents Chafing

Mothers tell US that Silox is the
best busting powder in America to-
day! Physicians tell us that Silox
certainly has their unqualified
recommendation!
Silox has won it's way into the
nursery solely through its amaz-
ingly effective absorbent qualities
its absolute safety and its extreme
purity and freedom from chemical
reaction.
Soft, fluffy, soothing, cooling
Silox never cakes or hardens az
talcum powder may do. Silox drifts
over the baby's tender skin and
dries moisture completely, pleas
antly. 1t slips into the little
creases- and dimples on baby's
plump little body as lightly as a
warm, dry summer breeze.
Use Silox after baby's morning
bath. Use it every time the baby's
changed" Use it on that irritating
teething r, h. Rub it gently over
chafed little legs and bodies. Re-
member, comfortable babies never
cry.
1t doesn't matter what dusting
powder you may be using now. Try
Silox. Note the difference. There's
more baby comfort in one can of
Silox than anything you've ever
used before. Because Silox is the
scientific development of one of the
most humane products that came
out of the war-a product to save
lives! Now Silox doesn't quite save
lives, but it certainly makes baby's
and mothers life lot happier.
Silox is not just Something
new" in baby comfort powder.
Silox is truly great discovery
the last word in baby comfort pow
ders. It's like dusting the baby
with million soothing, drying, vel
vet sponges. Silox has many other
uses that will save you many dol
lars and many hours of discomfort.
Be sure to read the booklet that
comes with the can. At drug stores
