Rusk stepped Into the kitchen and there found his young bride cold In death, hanging by a rope from a nail In the wall. The woman bad made a noose la a piece of clothes line, and after fastening one end to the nail had evidently put the noose over her head and stepped from a chair, the weight ot her body strangling her to death. When found the body had. evidently been hanging for several hours. There was nothing disturbed about the house,' and no farewell note was left for the husband, who seems nearly crazed with grief.

Jan. 21 (Special Corre spondence.) Chicago Is becoming aroused over the terrible dance-hall evil, but It required the pitiful suicide of a young girl to attract public Attention to this cancerous spot on the body politic. Staggering out of the ribald atmosphere, the girl swallowed acid and expired on the pavement, while the dance went on In side. Now tho newspapers and the -police have taken hold of the evil the for mer vigorously the latter In a perfunc tory manner. One of the Sisters" in the House of the Good Shepherd says that of -the 250 wayward girls In that institution. fully SO per cent trace their downfall to the dance halls. Tho secretary of the Illinois Industrial School for Girls said that of 225 girls placed in homes last year, 100 had caused trouble directly at tributable to the dance halls. This testi mony is substantiated by the officers of all the homes for girls- throughout tho city. All of them say they would hall any legislation that would put tho dance halls out of business. Meanwhile, with tho pulpit and press thundering anathe mas, the police Issuing their semi-occa sional warnings, and all the moral force of the city arrayed against them, the dance halls conUnuo blithely ontheIr nolsy way, swallowingjip 'immature boys and girls and casUng" forth moral and physical wrecks. Another crying evil quite recently brought to the attention of the public Is the peril to children In the fruit stores operated by Greeks at all the parks, and Fcattcred throughout the city, usually near a school building. Like poisonous insects huszlng at a screened window, these immoral haunts cluster around the edges of the parks, and with music and free-and-easy methods, lure in the young sters girls in short dresses and lads in knee breeches. The real extent of this evil has just been made public. Children these places do not cater to persons of mature knowledge are here taught to smoke cigarettes, carry on flirtations, drink liquor cleverly mixed with "inno cent lemonade and other "soft" drinks. Detectives who were sent out late In the Fall to report on these fruit stores, say they were crowded with children rang ing from 10 to 15 years In age. Many of them were In the "dopey" stage, due xto cigarettes or some drug In their drinks, and all of them had the blase air and manner ot habitues of the resorts.

The merchants' of this dty rfeld a meeting last night and effected a preliminary or ganization by which they hope to pro tect one another against the "dead-beat" class of customers. It Is the object of the organization to furnish protection against all persons who seek credit and then disregard their obligations. the noveau riche may avoid drinking from finger bowls or swallowing their soup as they would drink coffee, just because it happens to be served in cups. , "1 will act in anytrfpacity except that of servant," said Miss McAdam in out lining her Bphere. "Would you pass cigarettes to wom en? You know that Is customary at dinners here." "I should If the hostess so directed. I have no moral sense when I am em ployed." Chicago, the center of the holdup Industry, has two novelties in that line. One is a howling swell, who trav els about, accompanied by his negro valet. Their specialty la robbing res taurants. The valet waits upon his master, gets a line on the cashier's desk, the proper moment to strike, and then servant and master produce re volvers and clean -up the money tilL At their last appearance they drove up to a fashionable restaurant In an au tomobile, but the proprietor was wary and watched them from behind a screen. "When they attempted to hold up the place he backed them out at the point of his revolver. Of course, they escaped. The other novelty Is a 16-year-old girl, apparently an adept at the hold up business, whose latest exploit was to choke a woman, rob her, leap on and off moving cable trains with such agility that the police were unable to capture her. Quite recently there have been numerous robberies of children, sent to stores with small change to make purchases, and the police attrib ute these petty crimes to this girl, who attacked a woman as she was entering a- store at 11 o'clock in the morning and showed great skill In robbing her and getting away. The old Cripe homestead, at. Rochester, Ind.; "house of many tragedies," is being razed. It is the site of four murders, three suicides, three accidental deaths and the home of the Cripe family, four members of whom became insane. The old house, shunned for ) years as haunt ed and the abiding place ot evil spirits. Is now a mass of debris, and the resi dents thereabouts hope the curse will -pass with the demolition of the building. Here is Its hideous' record, so far as know: Mrs. Abraham Cripe Committed sui cide. Abraham Cripe's sister Fell dead. Loren Cripe Became insane. Loren Cripe Insane, choked to death. Ettas Cripe Mysteriously murdered. George Ford Committed suicide. George Cripe Accidentally killed. Jay Cripe Became insane and died. Clark Cripe Became insane, now in an asylum. Joseph Cripe-olurdered last December. Mrs. "Wilson Burn Murdered. Mr. Margaret Brabam Murdered. Wilson Burns Committed suicide. The last tragedy in the old house wag committed, December 5, 13W, when "Wilson J 'c . Burns murdered his wife, Mrs. Graham and Joseph Cripe and committed suicide. It Is worthy of note that there have been 13 tragedies In the old place. x Edwards County, Illinois, comes to the front with the claim that it has the bet moral record in the state. It is one of the most populous and prosperous coun ties in the state, yet It has not a saloon within Its limits, not a tenant in all its jails, and not a criminal case on its dock ets. Some years ago. However, there was a different story to tell. At a session of the grand jury. October 20, 1823, a by-law was adopted that any member not present 15 minutes after his name had been called should be fined a pint of whisky. The records show that the county at that time was reeking with lawlessness. The sturdy pioneers took hold of evil conditions a'nd by steady work have brought the district to its present proud and unique position. The observance of law was bred In the children, with the result that today the county is absolutely free from crime ot any sort. No other county in the state can approach this record.

The 'mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every Spring and FalL It was the universal Spring and Fall "blood purifier;"-tonic and cure-all, and, mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit. The Idea was good, but the remedy waa crude and unpalatable, and a large quan tity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef fects of sulphur lna palatable, concen trated form, so that a single grain Is- far more effective than a tablespoonful of tha crude sulphur. In recent years research and experiment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Cal cium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate-coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly concen trated, effective form. Few people are aware of the value ot this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul phur acts directly on tho liver, and ex cretory organs and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every Spring and Fall, but the crudity and im purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with thd modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers la undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike. Dr. R. M. Wilklns while experimenting with sulphur remedies soon found th. the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He saya: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when result ing from constipation or malaria, I have been surprised at the results obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In pa tients suffering from bolls and pimplea and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up and disap pear In four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cal cium Wafers Is a proprietary article and sold by druggists and for that reason ta booed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing 50 safe and reliable for constipa tion, liver and kidney troubles and espe cially In all forms of skin diseases as this remedy." At any rate people who are.tlred of pills, cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers" will find In Stuart's Calcium Wafers a far safer, mora palatable and effective preparation. 1
