LIBEL SUIT OF WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON AGAINST CHICAGO TRIBUNE BEGUN ,1 lilted Prraa Nrrvlce), Chicago, Mny 26.—Mayor William Hale Thompaon declared in speeches that '•British-American bankers were ronsponsible for the entrance of the United States in the world war.” This was the charge today of Weymouth Kirkland, chief counsel for the Chicago Tribune In his opening statement to the jury in the mayor’s $500,000 libel suit against the newspaper. "After the United States had formally declared war on Germany and Austria, Mayor Thompson made several speeches In Chicago in which he blamed English and American financiers for our entrance Into the European conflict,” Kirkland said. Council for the defense also read in to the records, the war message of President Wilson and numerous articles published in the Tribune and explained the situation In Chicago at the begnnng of the war. Counsel for the mayor n the opening statement characterized the Tribune as a “malicious newspaper which distorted the mayor’s remarks for political reasons and printed false news concerning his wartfrtie activites.” - RECORDS OF CHICAGO POLICE SHOW THAT NUMBER OF WOMEN ROBBERS IS ON INCREASE a* United Press Service. Chicago, May 26.—Women robbers and bandits are on the Increase, according to records of Chicago police. A greater number of robberies by women has been reported during the .first part of the present year than ever before in the city's history. While women criminals formerly “"were connected with robberies, in- * volving small amounts, now the ~ charges often run into thousands of dollars. The largest proportion or robberies by women are the work of thieves who gain entrances to homes posing as maids, the records show. Maids, po- ■ lice believe operate usually as members of gangs, enabling them to get X away with bulky loot. Authorities today sought a “maid" i who gave the name of "Agnes Swanson" in obtaining employment at the home of Owen W. Brewer, wealthy gold coast resident. When the family S was away from home on the third day pf the maid’s employment, she walked . <»it with 115,000 worth of jewelry and » ’ silverware.

~ Stick to Senreco and Your f Teeth Will Stick to You

Have White, Radiant Teeth That Will Compel Unstinted Admiration Don’t neglect your gums whatever else you do or you’ll be sorry later ~ on. Keep them strong sturdy and full " of life. Bear in mind that a hearty plant won’t grow in foul soil. Neither will unhealthy gums produce good teeth. Your dentist Is one of your best friends —don’t forget that —see him * qjjten—mary thousands of men and yeomen are enjoying health today because of the dentists' knowledge and skill. You can have white teeth so rediantclean and fascinating and so free from film or coating that they will

May 26. —Swarthy colored, sun-tinted hands from the far west were waving with hypnotic gestures in front of the east as the greatest of America’s college athletes got ready for the first day of the forty-sixth annual intercollegiate track and field championships, at the Cambridge stadium. Pleased with the taste of last year’s championship, the Pacific Coast, in the desire for another title, sent California, last year’s champions, and Stanford, two of the strongest of the manystar teams gathered here for the annual classic. "If California doesn’t repeat, Stan ford will win. We'll finish first hnd second either way," the California con tingent gloated and there was no strong rebuttal from the east. Pennsylvania, Princeton, Cornell. Harvard, Dartmouth, Penn State and Georgetown have strong combinations but the points will be split so manyways that there seems little chance tc head off the wellbalanced combina tions from the coast. Among all the Olympic, world anti national champions that will compete, perhaps none will draw the attention of "Tiny" Hartranft, the sensational Stanford shot putter, discus thrower and sprinter. He is within inches of the world’s record in the shot and discus, and although he carries over 200 pounds, he can do ten seconds in the century. He is counted upon as the biggest individual point scorer of the meet. Several world's records may be broken and it is almost a certainty that many intercollegiate marks will be shattered. Kirksey, Stanford; LeConey, Lafayette, and Lovejoy, Cornell, are con sisten 9 and 4-5 men in the hundred yards and on the Harvard track, which is about the fastest In the world, one of the three may jump out into the Paddock class. Larry Brown, Pennsylvania captain, is going out for a record in the quarter and the half and it he beats the field lined up against him, he will have to better the present mark. Allen Woodring, Syracuse star and Olympic 200

compel unstinted admiration. You can have firm healthy gums with no taint of disease if you will only visit your dentist occasionally and use Senreco toothpaste night and morning. Senreco is a dentist’s formula, a combination so perfect that, besides being the finest cleanser of teeth the most enjoyable of dehtifrloes, is an active enemy-of the vicious germs of pyorrhea—that all to common and abhorrent disease that attacks the gums and causes them to bleed, recede and grow soft, tender and spongy. Get a tube of Senreco today—the god rusults will astonish you—in just a few days your teeth will radiate purity. Stick to Senreco and your teeth ’ will stick to you.

California star, probably will establish a new distance In the hammer throw. Nothing like the present assemblage of talentihas ever-appeared in the intercollegiates and tickets are in such demand that a new attendance mark may be set. $0 NERVOUS SHE WOULD ALMOST SCREAM ALOUD Mrs. Frush Gives A Strong Story of Her Sufferings. Declares that Tanlac Has Restored Her to Finest Health. "Tanlac has proved to be the right medicine for me,” said Mrs. Rae Frush, 326 Hamilton St., Toledo, Ohio. "About two years ago my stomach began bothering me and I got so 1 could scarcely eat anything without suffering the worst kind of indigestion. I had a stuffed up feeling and severe pains in my stomach and chest. I was so weak and nervous I couldn't even sweep a room wthout stopping to rest. The least noise, and sometimes the prattle of my baby, would get me so nervous I would almost scream out loud. Awful nausea and sick headadded to my troubles and I almost despaired of ever regaining my health. “A nurse told me how fine Tanlac would be in my case and I tried it. I have been built up to where I can do all my housework, have a good appetite. my nerves are steady and in fact I enjoy the finest health. I am only too glad to tell others about this grand medicine.” Tanlac is sold my all good druggists. LIKE CLOUDS ACROSS A SUMMER SKY foretelling the dreaded storm are the symptoms of women’s diseases! which point the way to physical and mental breakdown. The nervous irritability, the backache, the dragging palps, are not only hard to endure, but they bring certain knowledge of collapse unless something is done to relieve the sufferer. There is one standard remedy which has shown the way out for nearly fifty years. The women who have “come back” through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound present an argument stronger than words could ever be. See Star Bright, Gym, Monday evening. May 29th, 125t3 MONROE NEWS Mrs. Lee Reffey and daughters Misses Leia, Luetta and Glehola of Decatur, visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Grover Sells a few days last week. C. E. Bahner and family of this place and Mrs. Lee Reffey and daughters visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Baker, south east of town. Too much rain is the cry of our farmers, especially those who have completed their corn planting. The moving season is about at an 2nd at this place. There was quite an amount of moving done last week and this. Roe Wynn moved into the Magner property west of town, Wm. Stuckey into the Dr. Parrish home Ollie Heller into the Dr. Parrish building and. Forest Ray into the Menno Wittever property recently purchased by Mrs. J. P. Johnson. Quite a large number of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Busche who were recently married and went to housekeeping on the E. W. Busche farm just east of town, on last Saturday night sprung a surprise on the young couple by giving them a real old-fashioned belling. A fine time is reported by those present. Mr. and Mrs. Busche are both well known and highly respected young people of this community, and their many friends wish them success and prosperity through life's journey together. Warning to parents—lt has been the custom of a lot of small children to congregate in the new building in the business part of town, ranging form four to six years old, running and playing on the first floor. This is very dangerous as there are many holes left open in various parts of the large room, and should one of the little tots fall through to the cellar below, which is half filled with water, there would be a case of drowning to be reported. Such will probably be the case if the small boy or girl is not kept away from the building. In addition, in the rear of the room there is a vsry |a<ge yisftyn,: containing severalhundred gallons of water, which ’is also a very dangerous'trap. It should be the duty of the parents of these little tots, to prevent their children playing at that place ami save further trouble. The owners, or anyone interested in the bullying, whoever it may be should safeguard the lives of the little children by en-

closing the openings with barrels so i , as to prohibit children from making 1 the place such a perilous place to i i lose life by drowning In a large cellar , filled with water. It should be looked - after at once. , Through some msunderstandiug it , has been reported that Sherman , White & Co., Is going to discontinue . their cream and egg and poultry sta- ( , Hon at Monroe, Ind., which is an absolute error.
