OPERATION IS


ed because OF the marriage. Or.
Bauer did not know the man per-
sonally. Doyle said.
DR.. Bauer recently completed his
studies az the Laughlin school Of
osteopathy at Kirksville. Mo. Three
weeks ago he was married. Then,
leaving his bride at Kirksville. he
went 10 Ann Arbor for post gradu-
ate work at the University OF
Michigan.
At 1890 q. m. attendants &C a
South Side filling station saw a
small coupe rolling slowly into the
driveway. A man leaped from the
a and disappeared into the dark
ness.
From the automobile the attend
ants, Harry and Harold Anderson,
heard means. They found DR..
Bauer, bound hand and foot, in
great pain. and hurried him TO
Jackson Park hospital.
There Dr. Bauer, weak from loss
Of blood, dictated a telegram 10
his bride. 1t read:
seriously i'll in Chicago. Come
at once"
Dying Man Tells Story
Weakly he told his story to De-
tectiYe Doyle. AS retold by the de-
tective the story was:
When DR.. Bauer strolled into the
lobby Of the Jennings house near
Ann Arbor Tuesday night, he fell
into conversation with a man he
had previously seen there. The
stranger asked to be permitted TO
accompany DR.. Bauer on an auto
trip to the city.
They had gone only a short dis
lance when the stranger drew a
revolver and said:
you had better do what / tell
you, because ] am desperate. / am
wanted all over the country and II
I'm caught it's the hot seat for
me"
The man then ordered Bauer to
drive to Chicago.
F. route they stopped for food
and gasoline. The abductor kept
the revolver concealed In a coat
pocket but pressed against DR..
Bauc-'s side.
Arriving at Chicago. the stranger
directed his unwilling chauffeur 70
drive TO a lonely section west OF
the Oakland cemetery. There DR..
Bauer was commanded 10 stop.
The stranger tied him hand and
fc7t with soiled rags and produced
a ~enknife. AS the man began the
operation DR.. Bauer lost conscious
ness. He revived when the car
rolled into the filling station
Near death. Bauer nevertheless
managed to describe his assailant
and advance what he said vas the
only reason he could assign for the
attack-jealousy on the part Of a
former sutton for his wife's affec-
ton.

Your Health
-RY DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN :

A FTER the World War great many sololers re-
\ turned to this country infected with conol-
ton called trench mouth
DESPITE its name this disease is not confined to
the trenches 1t has, in fact become so widespread
that persons nowadays catch it from all sources.
The germ that brings on trench mouth Is spHd
organism that can be seen under the microscope.
When it attacks the mouth, IL produces u4ceIs Oh
the tonsls.
The germ also creeps under the gums causing
bleeding and bad breath and creating a gray1sn
membrane with little bhsters
If YOU neglect the condition, it gradually gets
worse and results in a swelling Of the glands and
constant bleeding.
DERSONS can contract trench mouth by kissing.
i or by using the same spoons, forks or unWasned
drinking glasses. Fingers, TOO may carry the GERMS
to the mouth.
Sometimes the disease is even caught in the Of
fees of careless dentists but usually, direct contact
or contaminated eating utensils are responsible
To avoid trench mouth. it is necessary that you
take constant and watchfu care OF your mouth ano'
particularly of your teeth and gums. Remember tne
first signs of infection: persistent bleeding Of the
gums and unpleasant odor.
a EANY of the milder cases can be treated BY
wi good dentistry, the use Of simple sntiseptic
solutions or even regular cleaning Of the teeth.
More severe cases may demand special dental prep
arations, even treatment OF the oooy gehefaly Oy
injections into the blood.
There is good evidence that cases OF trench
mouth are increasing in the United States, and
there Is only one way TO combat the dieaese, Watcn
for the symptoms and If they appear see your dem
fist or doctor at once so that he can advise ths
necessary treatment. Every individual case should
be cured as soon as posSthla.

IL Was Arrays Cooler

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE is now and always
w mas been a Calvin Coolidge Republican. And
as remember the slogans of that era, Americans
we're urged TO keep cool with Mr.. Coolidge. can
recolect that there was ever any instruction 10
cut capers with Calvin.
But the choice of Frank o. Lowden as keynoter
is the most extraordinary touch of all in the plan
10 revivify the Republican party Perhaps the theory
runs that II il is possible to bring Mr. LoWoen PACK
10 life almost anything can happen
OF late I find that my memory about the dear
dead davs begins to fail me. To the best Of my
recollection and belief the last time Frank o. LoWden
appearpd prominently in the public eve was IN the
hot summer Of 1920 He was a candidate against
Warren Gamsliel Harding in the Republican ma
fio,sl convention OF that year Mr.. LOWdens name
was mislsid IN the fog of the little smoke-hed room
where the nomination was made AS a consequence
Of this inadvertence the Governor left the conVen-
ton in one Of the highest dudgeOns ever observed IN
American political life. Not only did MI LoWoeh
retire deeply into private life. but ne continued 10
use dudceOn as a town car and huff Tor sta
ton wagon Possibly beginning TO argue against
nv own case because IL Is quite possible that the
Young and unreasonable might have enjoyed being
preSent when the ice Jam broke II marked the
elimination OF one Of the longest political grouches
on record.
BUT If concede to the Grass Rioters the right to
turn hack the pages Of history must still insist That
there should be some authenticity IN the analogeS
drawn Springfield chosen as the shrine OF Abra-
ham Lincoln but almost Immediately Mr. LoWden
attacked the Roosevelt Administration on the ground
that il sought to increase Federal power at the eX-
pense Of the states.
Hold on a minute. How can a campaign for re-
turn to primitive conception Of states rights Wmcn
existed in the year 1908 be founded on the name ana
fame Of Abraham Lincoln? The Grass RIOTERS may
correct me II am wrong. but was under the I'M
preston that Lincoln fought the Civil War TO pre-
serve the Federal Union.

Eren Me CONSTITUTION Changes

r RATHER imagine that when the Grass RIOTERS
Il have gone home analysis of their words will
show that they much other men, In the alb
stract they all for the Constitution as II stands
without the changing Of comma. But IN specific
places where pinches they do not feel that way at
all. There must De people now alive who remember
that in the case Of liquor amendment was put
into the Constitution and then taken out again. In
other words within the span Of approximately gen.
Grafton the drvs agreed that the Constitution should
be changed and a little later did the vets Add
both factions and YOU have almost unanimous
decision that the document is not sanctifed above
revision.
It came 10 me as slight shock must admit, to
read that Frank O. LOWden had delivered the key
note speech To Tire Grass Roots delegates As under
stand the original call the purpose of the parey was
10 inhame The imagination OF young Republicans by
letting them the fiery words Of new leaders. On
top Of that the information came that William Allen
White would write the platform and Ex-Governor
LoWden make the keynote address. Mr.. White, 1
believe, thought better Of his assignment. I am not
10 argue that the spirit Of youth consists wholly
Of lack Of years. Quite recently have seen Bill
White and ne has all his faculties. Nor would L
DENY that his opinions lively and vigorous. But
I do not find them tinged altogether with novelty.

He's a June Graduate

" A LABAMA" PITTS took part in cheap but

didn't dictate the terms and now that he is free,
public sympathy amounting almost to admiration
is his.
The baseball industry maintains the cleanest
