VISITOR GYPPED BY SLICKERS IN MATCHING GAME Taken for SIOO Bill When He Meets Stranger and Pal. Cl.aik up another victim to the old army game. Truce Clow of the Lakeways Supply Company ( of Duluth was in the ity for a few hours Tuesday night n his way to the Minnesota city nd lost SIOO, he told police today. Here’s the story he told police: At Market and Illinois streets, he act a man who asked him the name fa building across the street. Clow old him he was a stranger and the .'her man admitted he was in the ame fix. Meet No. 2 Together they strolled around the Monument Circle, where they met another “stranger” looking for a notel. They conversed; and as they conversed, the second “stranger” aid he was from Missouri and had ■plenty of dough.” He pulled out a roil of bills and Clow and “stranger No. 1" were onvinced. The next thing, the trio as matching pennies, then dollars. This didn't last long because Granger No. 2“ believed Clow and . :is “gentleman friend" were “rimming" him. To prove they had money to back it up, Clow dug deep ;n his pocket and produced a SIOO bill. Pleads for Mercy “Stranger No. 2” took it and then decided he’d have No. 1 arrested. No. I pleaded for mercy while Clow looked on and saw his century note go deep into No. 2's pocket. No. 1 solved the problem by saying they’d all be arrested, so they’d meet at another point. He took Clow’s arm and started to walk away. But the $lO0 —where is it? was Clow's thought. He turned to look for the “Stranger No. 2.” Stranger than all. he had disappeared. And while clow looked his first “acquaintance’ also disappeared. STAGE SISTERS IN SUIT Itosetta and Vivian Duncan Seek to Recover From Tax Expert. LOS ANGELES.

Ingrown Nail furns Right Ou* A few drops of "Outgro” in the crevice cf the ingrowing nail reduces inflammation and pain and so toughens the tender, sensitive skin underneath the toe nail that it can not penetrate the flesh, and the nail turns naturally outward almost over night. "Outgro" is a harmless antiseptic manufactured for chiropodists. However, anyone can buy from the drug store a tiny bottle containing direct ions.—Advertisement.

“Before I was married, my mother and sister and I did all the farming work on a 64-acre farm for eleven years. I married a farmer and now in addition to my housework and the care of my children I help him with the outside work on our farm. After my last child was bom, I began to suffer as many women do. Our family doctor gave me medicine but no results. One day he told me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did and now I am anew woman and 1 know that good health is better than riches.” —Mrs. Clyde I. Sherman, R. #l. Lickdale, Pennsylvania.

Ghosts! Cemetery Phantoms Were Well Jarred in These Days of War.

great reading, these stories of the World war, as told by Indanapolis veterans of that great conflict. And the boys seem to be geti ting their memories in fine trim, judging from the num- \ her of yarns being spun for Times readers. We ll publish all of them that 1 space will permit and the best one i each week will win a $lO cash award. ’Second best gets a $5 check. You needn’t worry about fine writing. Just send in your experiences, funny, pathetic, dramatic and keep them as short as you can, ' without ruining your story. Address j the World War Contest Editor of The Times, giving your outfit name and number, along with your name and address. a a a Harry Wells, 2716 North Olney street, submits a couple for today: I WAS lying in a pup tent trying to keep out of the rain. No luck and no roof. I was all wet, ! anyway. The orderly came in and ; said. “Corporal, the captain wants j to see you.” “Just right," I replied. “Just as leave get knocked off as drown.” % I was ordered for patrol duty for 11 p. m. in the front line. C. O. patrol told us we were going hunti ing. I didn’t think we were going ! to a reunion, so wasn’t disappointed. Reports came in there was a German sniper in a cemetery between the line, and our job was to find out where he was. Nice job crawling around that cemetery at midnight. We finally got to the cemetery like a bunch of night crawlers. There were fifteen in the patrol. The C. O. said, “Now keep together as much as possible, three paces ; interval.” So we started. Oh, boy, what a thrill when the fellow on my right fell into a grave. We had to pull him out. Those artillery guys did j not know a cemetery was there. We crawled on. the C. O. next to Ia stone fence. He passed word to | halt; he had found something. Sure enough he had. I went over and asked him what he had found. The sniper had dug into a grave ! hole about three feet square, plant- ! ing a machine gun and plenty of ammunition. That bird would just sit there in the daytime and pick our boys off in the front line. If | they shelled the cemetery, he would ; get in the hole, and all that could | get him would be a direct bullet into that three-foot hole. The C. O. told us to get back, that he was going to get that machine gun out of the hole. He thought is was connected to a mine and did not want to blow all of us up if it was. They all went back but me. I had to see. The C. O. thought we were all in the clear. He started pulling on the machine min when he heard me. He thought I was the sniper. Wham! I caught a hobnailed shoe right on the jaw. He sure did rave. Well, we tore up the sniper’s nest. Got one good machine gun, and I got one good kick in the jaw. Didn't oat that day for a very good reason. So that’s that. In the Argonne Forest I saw a soldier leaning against a tree. I asked him for a smoke, but got no answer. Ho was dead. Don’t know whether he had any cigarets or not. Didn’t look. Would you? a a tt Short, ond+fo the point is the contribution of Henry A. Walsh, 116 Virginia avenue, as he probably still remembers theold injunction. “Snap into, now, you!" IT was the Friday before Easter in France and rations were low. I was walking down along the Loire river, looking for my buddie I called Mac. I saw him coming out of a case we used to vis.t. He seemed to have had a very good break that evening. As I approached him I noticed he was eating an extra large sandwich consisting of French bread and meat. I said, “Mac, do you know that today is Good Friday?” He was of the same religion as I. He replied. “I’ll say, a damn good Friday, when you can grab off a lump like this.” In 1916 the United States treasury department received a package conI taining $30,000 marked for “The | Conscience Fund.” The address of this fund is Room 337, Treasury building.

CANCER REMEDY TESTS MADE ON I 1.300 PATIENTS California Doctors Relate Experiment Results to Senate Group. Bp Science Service WASHINGTON, March 19.—More than 1,300 persons suffering from the last stages of incurable cancer have been the subjects on whom Drs. Walter B. Coffey and John B. Humber of San Francisco have conducted their experiment of injecting a glandular extract which kills the cancer tissue, the California scientists told members of the senate commerce committee here. Their work is in no sense a cure or treatment, but merely an experiment, they declared. For many years they have studied j the sympathetic nervous system and | the endocrine glands searching for a stabilizer of tissue growth. Cancer jis a condition in which tissue 1 growth is abnormal. In the cortex of the adrenal ! glands, which rest above the kidneys, these scientists have found large amounts of an active principle which, they believe, behaves as such a stabilizer. They have injected ex- ! tracts of the adrenal cortex, con- | taining the active principle, into the j bodies of persons in the last stages ; of cancer. Within five or six hours the tor- ! menting pain is relieved and within j two or three days after the injection i the pain has disappeared completej ly. they told the senators. Furtheri more, in the majority of cases the ! cancer tissue sloughs off in from ' twenty-four to forty-eight hours i after the injection. Os the 1,300 persons receiving the | injections during the last three i years, only fifteen have died, Dr. j Coffey said. The injections are j given on certain days of the week in San Francisco and on other days i in Los Angeles where a theater is i used to hold the clinic. More than three times 1,300 perj sons have been turned away because ! the scientists did not consider them j suitable subjects for the experiment, or because they had not the faciliI ties to handle all the patients who sought their aid. No fee ever has been accepted by ; either of the doctors for the injec- ; tions and if other scientists take up j the method, they will be allowed to ; do so only on the same basis. The California scientists want the public j to have the entire benefit, rich and ; poor alike. YOUTH’S FLIGHT HALTED BY GUN Arrested as Annoyer on Woman’s Charge. Kenneth George Smith, 18, of 63 LeGrande avenue, was arrested today on complaint of a young woman, but not before he had demolished a. postoffice glass door, and two revolver shots from a traffic policeman's gun had startled crowds near Meridian and Ohio streets. Miss Mary Muldoon, 843 North Meridian street, said he annoyed her by following her into the postoffice. There she saw G. Roberts, deputy sheriff, and complained to him, Smith, seeing her approach the' deputy, bolted for a door, his speed carrying him through the glass. Harold Olsen, traffic policeman at Ohio and Meridian streets, ordered <raith to halt, and drew his gun and fired twice into the air when his command was unheeded. Smith stopped, and was arrested on charges of public indecency. CENSUS AID IS NAMED Mrs. Workman to Have Charge of Local Bureau Office. Announcement of the appointment of Mrs. Hazel L.
