LIQUOR BLAME IN
400 PARALYSIS
CASES DOUBTED
Physicians Begin to Change
Minds When Tiny Girl
Dies of MaIady.

BD United Press
OKLAHOMA CITY, March TO-
Doubt arose in the minds of city
and county health officers here to-
day regarding the strange paralysis
which has made sick more than
400 men and boys.
The paralysis had been diagnosed
as liquor poisoning shortly after
victims were overcome, but when
little 4-year-old girl died Sunday
from the same symptoms, officials
said they doubted whether their di-
agnosis was correct.
The girl, suffering from paralysis
of the lower limbs and later yio-
lently Ill, died from commissions.
Her parents maintained she had
no liquor.
Officials attending the men said
their condition was little changed
and otherwise refused to comment
the disease.

Going Thru
Happiest Days
of Her Life

"Why shouldn't smile. says Mrs.
Anna Nebeker, of 1449 East nth St.
Chicago, who is a well known Eastern
Star, when finally found that | can
be free from the trouble | suffered
from sour stomach, by simply taking
that marvelously pleasant new medi-
cine called Acidine. 1t has cleared up
the rash on my skin, and | have more
pep than | need, now"
Not more than one person In
hundred has stomach so perfect that
it needs no help to digest the starchy
foodSand sweets, which make stom-
achs sour. It's these excessive acids
which thin the blood, lower your energy
and cause skin rash. The first signs of
too much acid are sick stomach, indi-
gestion, burning sensation in throat,
gassy belching. Try Acidine Just once
and you will see why more than two
million people depend on it. Get it at
any drug store

to an isolated cabin and menaced
him with red-hot irons before he
gave in.
The captors got $4,000 in cash

bers of the gang attempted to get
the $1,000 from Miss Gertrude Ko-

SEA FARLEY DISCUSSED
Kirshbaum Speaker Warns Against
Too Much Optimism.

Warming against expecting too

Radcliffe, British journalist, in adj
dressing the open forum at Kirsh-
baum Community Center Sunday
night.
THE naval problem is a crucial
one to Great Britain" he declared.
The financial condition of the en-
pire, if nothing else, demands limi-

much of this conference. If there

suits 1t will be a victory for all of
the nations concerned"

Ellis is in charge of the merger

Public service commissioners

Ellis asserted. although this case
is Of great magnitude and will af-

outside of indianapolis, it must be
heard and decided in exactly the
same manner as others.
Solely on Facts
Evidence of both the utility and
commission engineers has been in
troduced and more will be heard
Monday. 1t is on the facts in the
case that the decision must be
made and not on popular prejudice
either for or against the merger.
1T is rather an unusual thing
that the present protests are coming

r was rather amazing, when
- one summer. a professor Of
algebra in high school tele-
phoned by mother, who was a
kindergarten teacher, saying:
"Will you take Jessie for an
hour each morning this sum-
mer and teach her arithmetic?"
Jessie was his 8-year-old daugl1-
ter.
It seemed that the child sim.
ply had no notion Of what
mathematics were all about,
and no amount Of patient ex-
planning by her brilliant father
seemed to make any impression.
So my mother agreed to do

drawn in June and went on
with her class.
"And all we did," explained
my mother to the astonished
professor, was to play"
And that was true, because
I was called in on several oc-
casionS to take part in the
game"
To start with, we placed the
ironing board across two chairs
for q counter and prepared to
play store. Large blocks were
loaves of bread. Small blocks
were cakes and cookies, and
Jessie came to buy, supplied
with coins in her purse.
One loaf Of bread was pur-
chased and 5 cents was paid
for it.
Next time she bought two
loaveS Of bread, for a tea party,
and mother asked: Nov, since

But before she had time to,
Aline came hurrying out Of the
bathroom wrapped in a Turkish
toweling bathrobe.
"FIello!" she said, and her
face seemed to whiten under
Lovejoy'S eyes as she heard the
voice at the other end Of the
wire. Hello, Jack?

She frowned, listening to his

She had never seen silky lace
edged sheets before.
Beyond, in the bathroom,
there was q low murmur Of
voices.
Lovejoy tapped on the half
closed door, and Aline called
her to come in.
The bathroom was a big
room with shining tile walls. It
looked as buSiness-like as q

But the bathroom was hot

back into the bedroom to wait
for her.
Through the open door Of

Arline's dresses and coat on
their padded hangers.
Across the foot Of the big
bed a dressing gown Of old-blue

she started out at IL o'clock

She left him sleeping in his
buggy in the vestibule of the
Anderson house and followed a
neat maid upstairs to Aline's
