TWO WOMEN LURED TO PHILA
DELPHIA, AND ANOTHER IS
MURDERED NEAR MEMPHIS.
Agents of white slavers are prey
ing on young girls who wish to do
their bit for their country by becom
ing Red Cross nurses. Several cases
have been reported to the depart
ment of justice in Washington, and,
as the result, girls who wish to be
come associated with the Red Cross
are being warned to deal with none
but authorized agents at Red Cross
headquarters in the towns and cities
where they may reside. The ruse of
the wily deceivers usually is to per
suade the prospective nurses to go
te large cities with the assurance
that they are more likely to be ac
cepted and sent to battlefields in
Europe.
To date no arrests have been made
by agents of the department of jus
tice, but several are working in Phil
adelphia where Miss Leona Moffat,
aged 15 years, and Miss Anna Hart,
aged 16, are believed to be in cap
{vity. The murder of Miss Antoin-
mette Raphal, aged 15 years, of Mem
phis, Tenn., also is being investigat
ed.
Girls Lured From High School.
Misses Moffat and Hart were
members of the graduating class in
St. John’s high school, in Pittston,
Pa., and planned to join the Red
Cross. They became acquainted with
a young woman who posed as a
nurse and stated that she was re
<cruiting for the Red Cross. She
persuaded the young women to
leave their homes without consulting
their parents and the three are
known to have purchased tickets for
Philadelphia. They were traced by
County Detective P, J. Conley who
has failed to locate the girls’ captors,
even with the assistance of the Phil
adelphia police department.
Antoinette Raphal obtained per
mission from her parents to enlist
as a Red Cross nurse and left her
headquarters in Memphis, Tenn., on
her bicycle. She was seized as she
was riding along a state highway
which leads through a marsh, Her
headless body was found within 24
hours and Sheriff Tate began a care
ful search. Physicians declare that
Antoinette was killed to seal her lips.
The girl made a game fight for her
life and honor and was terribly mu
tilated in the struggle.
SHOOTS WIFE SO SHE ‘
WILL FORGET MISERY‘
Puts Bullet Through Her Cheek to
Cure Her of Toothache.
CHESTER, Pa.—When Mrs. Char
les Wright complained of tootache, |
her husband suggested that he be per- |
mitted to shoot out the tooth, at the
same time, producing a revolver.
“Now, hold perfectly still, and we
will put that tooth out of business,”
Wright said.
Wright pulled the trigger, the re
volver went off, and Mrs. Wright
dropped to the floor in a swoon. The
‘Chester hospital ambulance was sum
moned and the police were notified.
Wright was arrested when it was
found that Mrs, Wright was shot
through the cheek. He said he did
not know the revolver was loaded—
that he was simply trying to make
his wife forget her misery. {

{ “I suffered with stomach troublel
for twenty years, but I tell you,
young man, this Tanlac medicine hasl
{ about ended my troubles, and what’s
,_more than that, I've gained fifteen’
pounds since I began taking it,” said
J. H. McCauley, a well-known and
highly respected farmer of Dade
| county, Georgia, in talking to the!
| Tanlac representative at the Live
l!and Let Live Drug Store, Chattanoo
ga.
l “Just think of a farmer having to
live on raw eggs and the like, Farm
ing is hard work, and a man ought |
’to have plenty of good, substantial
|food to keep going. But raw eges
'was just about all I could eat, for|
'my stomach was in such a bad shape‘
‘[it couldn’t stand much of anything.
If I did eat much I would have to |
pay for it afterward. The pit of |
my stomach was as sore as a boil and |
at times I would almost choke with j
gas on my stomach. I got so weak |
1 could hardly stand on my feet—|
much less work. I was constipated | !
most of the time and had dreadful :
dizzy spells. I've always said farm :
life was the happiest life of all, but I [
tell you a- man in the shape I was ;!
in couldn’t get much enjoyment out | &
of it. I 3
| “I tried one kind of medicine after
| another, but none of it did me any
good until I got hold of Tan'ac. I be
gan taling it and felt better from‘l
the first three or four doses. My ap
[petite picked up and I began to eat |
‘things I hadn’t touched in months,l
and everything tasted good and
agreed with me.
“When ,I began taking Tanlac I.
weighed 137 pounds, but I've heen
gaining steadily ever since and now
I weigh 152 pounds, which is a ,{rainl
of fifteen pounds. I am not bother
ed with pains in my stomach any!
longer and I feel good in every way
—just like I had been made all over !
again. I am not constipated like I'
was, am no longer nervous, and feel
stronger than I have in years. I am!
now able to work in the field from
sunrise to sunset. I go to bed early
and sleep all night, and wake up
next morning feeling like a sixteen
year-old. I've taken four bottles of
the medicine. }
“Tanlac has made a real farmer of |
me again, and you don’t know how !
happy I am. I just feel like telling§
everyone I see what a wonderful

is below 40 years. Leaving waste
material in the body, poisons the sys

relief, are mild- non-griping in act

WISCONSIN SINK HOLE
SWALLOWS OVER 1,000 TREES
Subterranean Maw Also Gulps Down
2,500 Cubic Yards of Earth
and Gravel.
~ WATERFORD, Wis.—Th= big sink
| hole on the East Troy line of the
M. E. R. & L. intarurban in the town
of Muskego has taken another aulp,
| thereby bringing to naught tue work
{ of a winter.
! All winter the section crews work
ied in filling the place, and just as
t it had been leveled off to match the
| surrounding topography, presto, and
, the big fill disappeared from sight.
i All the hungry subterranean giant
‘swallowed this time was 1,000 trees
with limbs and tops intact, several
stacks of old ties, and some 2,500
cubic yards of earth and gravel which
had been dumped into the capaci
ous maw.,
- The spot gave trouble when the
railroad was being graded and John
1. Beggs, then president of the com
' pany, christened it the “devil’s tea
pot.” It was thought that the devil’s
|teapot had at least been filled to
' stay, but the magic disappearance of
. the trainloads of material fed into it
has caused many to believe that the
terrestial ball is a hollow one.
Since the former “mouthful” was
swallowed, a crew of about 100 men,
| with two steam shovels, has been
busy pouring in a new ““fill” in the
hope of choking the unseen cormor
ant.
