Dazed by a blow from a highwayman, Mrs. James T. Perry wandered in the streets through the night and only reached her home at daybreak, according to the story she toW the police. A missing pocket-book and valuable lavalliere and a gash across her scalp bear out her story. She said she was returning from "San Francisco and was accosted by the robber, who stepped from a vacant lot. He snatched her laval liere and then demanded her pocket- 1 -t- - XJU. .1,. ,.(,. POOK, 8I1C aaye. vvH auc iciuswu to comply, she says, she saw his hand raised, and that was the last she remembered. Two strange women brought her to her home at 7 o'clock in he morning. One Edition of Paper Uses 30 Acres of Wood Chicago, Oct. 20. That newsprint paper will have to be made from the straw of wheat and other grains in a few years if the destruction of Canadian puipwooa ioresis comm ues at its present rate, was the as sertion of C. Price-Green of Toron to, industrial commissioner of the Canadian National railways, here to attend the exposition of chemical industries. The straw, he said, now is largely wasted. "With but one-fifteenth of the world's population, the United States consumes one-half of the .world's production of paper," he said. "One edition of Chicago s largest newspaper, he declared, requires the spruce of 30 acres of forest." 5a 0 A .S& rV& ffiV WlrtJi NEXT ONE OVER" wiTiTDiwsmm A CASE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION. Mi. THE country is dry for the bird with ossified eyelids. But if the hinges on your lamp shades are working you can wink yourself right into a souse that will exempt you from the next eight wars. . We don't know what kind of powders they, are peddling over the bars, but one drink will make you weatherproof. Two drinks will put the well known staggard tread on your liver. . V Three sniffs and you rush out like an alcohol burning crusader to pick the feathers off a lion. a When the prohibitionists passed a Sullivan law on concealed cork screws they figured the works would curl up like a haddock in the hot sun. They thought that noses would fade like Autumn leaves. But the cash registers are still playing Sousa's Marches. The bar keeps are still spinning their elbows to and fro and they ain't knitting sox. The stew bums are still utilizing the parking space between the brass rail and the gutta percha free lunch. King Alcohol is deader than Bluebeard's wives. But there hasn't been any insurance collected on him yet. A guy ain't dead so long as there's moisture on the bajroom mirror. And they haven't sawed the mahogany bar up into mourner's benches. There have been lots of floral tributes received. " But floral tributes don't make a funeral. Out in Oklahoma old Joe Krepp's wife died and Joe went out and bought a red nicktie. Oklahoma is the finest agricultural state in the world. They raise four crops of wreaths a year. Joe's neighbors had the parlor swamped with flowers. On the day of the last sad rites, the neighbors busted in and found Joe playing quoits with the funeral Wreaths. He had just made a ringer with a combination smilax and ivy quoit. He would have won the game if his brother-in-law hadn't made three leaners with a set of paper and wJtx rose wreaths. s If King Alco is dead, then the mahogany is a polished Ouija board that transmits messages from the spiritual world. And the stuff they slip you would heat an apartment house in a blizzard. One swallow makes a Summer so far as the temperature is concerned. It ain't carbolic and it ain't turpentine, but the effect is the same when taken with sousicidal intent. It's equivalent to stuff taken by mistake in the dark, except that the electric lights are on. Human nature is a queer bundle. A guy will step into a high licensed headache garage. He will order sarsaparilla and then get sore if he gets it. If the Kink is dead, then everybody believes in ghosts. Instead of a sheet he wears a label. And when a cuckoo applies at the hospital with a Number Six case of painter's colic the surgeons know that he has seen the spook. The extract they peddle now should be handled only with a brush. v Whatever the mysterious fluid is that is being poured over the bar, the ambulance records show that the boys prefer it to punctuated beer.. Futurity Coursing Meet Closes; Blue Bill Wins Cup and Purse Beatrice, Neb., Oct. 20. (Spe cial Telegram.) The national futur ity coursing meet closed here Mon day evening.

Wills, Brennan, Rosenberg, Winners in Jersey City Bouts Jersey City, N,' T., Oct. 20.

Dave ' Rosenberg of New York, last year's national amateur welter weight champion, knocked out Rube Lundv of New York in the third round. Jackson Defeats Drummie in Fast Six-Round Bout Philadelphia, Oct. 20. Willie Jackson of New York defeated Johnny Djummie, Jersey City, in a fast six-round . bout. Jackson had the advantage in every round except the fifth. Nurses Demand $5 a Day, Six Hours' Sleep ' Milwaukee.

When the engineer went back, in stead of finding the mangled body, as he expected, he discovered the infant unhurt. Itching, Scratching. Skin Diseases That Burn Like Flames of Fire Here Is a Sensible Treatment That Gets Prompt Results. For real, downright, harassing, discomfort, very few disorders can approach so-called skin diseases, such as Eczenu, Tetter, Boils, eruptions, scaly irritations and similar skin troubles, notwithstand ing the lavish use of salves, lotions, washes and other treatments applied sxtemally to the irritated parts. No one ever heard of a person being afflicted with any form of skin disease whose blood was in good condition. Therefore, it is but logical to conclude that the proper method of treatment for nmplea, blotches, sores, boils, rough. red and scaly akin, is to purify the blood and remove the tiny germs of pollution that break through and manifest their presence on the sur face of the skin. People in all parts of the coun try have written us how they were completely rid of every, trace of these disorders by the use of S. S. S., the matchless, purely vege table blood purifier. S. S. S. goes direct to the center of the blood supply, and strengthens and builds up the circulation, giving a clear and ruddy complexion that indi cates a healthy condition of the skin.

South High Tackles Lincoln School Grid Warriors This Friday Coach Patton of the South Oma ha foot hall squad is bending every effort to present a formidable team to battle against Lincoln High Fri day afternoon when they will make their second trip of the gridiron season. Lincoln High is considered one of the best foot ball teams in Nebraska, not losing one game this season. The Packers are not discouraged with three defeats against them, but are working to trim the Lincoln lads so they will be contenders for the state honors. The championship of Nebraska lies between Central of Omaha, Beatrice, Lincoln and South High. The foot ball men are busy every day going through scrimmage prac tice with the second squad and special signal drill. All -the weatc snnt . on the team have been patched up, according to Coach Pat ton's men. and they expect to return home victorious. The foot ball "dope" that readies Omaha about the Lincoln foot ball xntiad ic ran sin o- much ffossip be tween the pupils and faculty of the school as they believe that if all the reports are true- that tne Lmci r,-.4 riii rnnsist of well drilled and experienced players. The dope will not affect Coach ration ana m warriors, as they expect -to give the Lincoln lads a good fight at any Coach Mead of Lincoln probably will not change "his lineup and will use the same men he had in the Norfolk game, as he thinks more fighting spirit can be shown by the boys if they are not taken out of any game. New in the musical instrument line is a whistle with two tubes that is played like a slide trombone.

The Bluffs lads have taken on a new form in the past week, despite the fact that several star players are out with in juries. They are practicing hard daily and are confident they can de feat the fast .Des Moines combina tion.

' The Central High foot ball men tor is drilling his men on the de fensive so as to keep his goal line untouched in this game. With Wil marth and Robertson out with in juries they have received, Coach Mulligan is shifting players around considerably.

Robertson has a "charley horse" which will keep him -out of practice this week and probably out of the game Saturday. . The North High foot ball squad, which has defeated every high school in Iowa, is planning on hav ing an easy time with the local lads because of the heavy and experi enced men they have.
