The prices on drugs, like those on
all kinds of paper, lis re gone "out of
sight." This in many places has re
sulted in drugs being adulterated. Re
cently several Wasuington druggists
pleaded guilty to the charge of Bell
ing adulterated and misbranded Tinc
ture of Iodin. according to arecent
issue of the Service and Regulatory
- Announcements of the Bureau of
Chemistry. Samples of Tincture of
Iodin were purchased under authority
of the Secretary of Agriculture from
a -number of -Washington druggists
by inspectors of the health depart,
ment. Analysis of the samples show
ed that many of them were deficient
in some ingredient essential to a full
strength tincture. The Food and
Drugs Act provides in substance that,
when a drug is sold under a name
(such as Tincture of Iodin) that is
recognized in the United States Phar
macopoeia, it must conform to the
standard of strength, quality, or pur
ity, as determined by the test laid
down in the Pharmacopoeia, or con
tain a statement on the label showing
its true standard of strength, quality
or purity. Tincture of Iodin is used
largely as an antiseptic in surgical
operations. It is used also externally
for local irritations and inflamations.
Failure to prepare ft tincture of stand
ard strength is due usually to careless
ness. Ten druggists pleaded guilty
to the charge of selling adulterated
and misbranded Tincture of Iodin,
and were lned $10 each by the court.

James Oveno. who ia under indict-
sent for the murder of his sweet
heart. Hiss Est ell Thompson, will
ro to trial tor the second time to
morrow. A second jury will hear the
eonl cting- testimony in the strange
the first baring ended In ft dis-
xnent Tbe alleged murder was
committed oa Febmary 1, 1913. Last
Korember Oveno was tried, snd eight
iurors voted cailty. . .
Oveno, it is expected, wui suck m
the story which he told st the pre
vious trial, that he killed the girl ac
cidentally, Miss Thompson hsving at
tempted to prevent h:s committing
suicide in her .presence. He had
drawn ftis pistol, be said, and was
about to blow his own brains out,
when the girl struggled with him.
During the scuffle, the pistol was dis-
ehanred. he els.med. Tbia testimony
was directly contradicted by the
mother of the dead girl and two oth
er women, irho swore that they saw
Ovena deliberately shoot his sweet
heart and then fire a bullet into bis
own body.
The murder, or acicdental shoot-
inc. was the culmination oi a love ai-
. . . . ..
fair between Oveno, who is a fcieilian
immigrant, snd pretty Esetelle
Thompson. They met at a night
school, where Oveno was trying to
master the English lansmape. Later,
according to the accused man. Miss
Thompson called at his tailor shop,
and in the dull hours of the day she
would aid him in his stnd:es. Later
on Estelle invited the swarthy Sicil
ian to her home. A strong affection
sprang up between them, and Oveno
elaims that he asked the rirl 's father
for her hand in marriage.
On the day of the tragedy, accord
ing to Oveno 's story, Miss Thompson
gave him hack some photos and trink
ets which he had siven her, and told
him that ber mother had forbidden
her to see him any more. Ho pro
tested that he loved her whether her
mother objected or not. As thev talk
ed, the girl suddenly exclaimed
"Here comes my mother." Oveno
claims that at tnis moment, his nerv
ousness got the better of him, and he
reached in his pocket for his gun,
determining to end it all there before
his sweetheart. Miss Thompson saw
whst he was doing, he claims, and in
terfered. Then came the strugsrle and
the discharge of the gun, and the girl
was the victim.
STUBBORN ECZEMA

, We are' daily receiving letters of
praise from people who have been

become discouraged and lose all

HEALTH AND INCOME.
Both Kept Up On Scientific Food.
Good, sturdy health helps one a
lot to make money. With the loss of
health one's . income . is liable to
shrink, if not entirely dwindle away.

keep up in the office.
"A mend suggested to me the
idea of trying Grape-Nuts food
which I did, making it a large part
of at least two meals day.

Jaftftft.
Bostoft, March 2L "I knew that
there are kuadreds of Japanese and
German serving aa ofiosrs ia the
ula army, and I know, too, that
there are more Japaaese ia Souther
Mexico thftft there are ia the entire
standing army in thia country," says
Capt William J. Mattery, until last
summer aa aviator ia the Villa army.
"I dost believe the United State
can whip Mexico within five years,
for tbe minute our soldiery roes, into
phat country all Mexicans will unite
in fighting our troops. V Ula, Caraasa
and Zapata they are all Mexicans
snd grafters and they heartily hate
the United States and American.
"I am not a Villa sympathiser. On
tiis other band, I owe Villa a debt
which I only wish I could pay, and
nothing would afford me greater
pleasure tbaa to be present at his ex
ecution. Bnt I think the attacks on
the Americas border were instigated
by some one other than Villa, just as
I know that much of the ammunition
supplied bia army during my connec
tion with it came from the Far East
and that great care was taken to keep
the place of its origin a secret.
"Villa has brains. He is general
ly credited ' with being half negro,
half Indian, and be is not what you
would term an educated man, but bis
scoundrel head is chock full of brains.
He is probably the most cruel msn I
ever met. I first saw bim near a
monastery in Shihuahua. My flying
mate, Mickey McGuire, of Arizona,
and myself, were engaged by him. The
second day of mv service, I saw 300
Mexicans, some of them "women, lin
ed up against the monastery wall and
shot down in cold blood. The climax
came when my pal, McGuire, was shot
down in cold blood last June. We had
not been getting our money very reg
ularly and Mickey very foolishly de
clared that he would get his money
the next day, or he would fly over the
border and back to the United States.
The next day Mickey started for the
machine, and as he reached it he was
shot down from behind. The report
reached the United States that he had
fallen 5000 feet and was killed. But
I was present at his funeral and saw
the bullet wounds in his back, and
his eyes and nose were almost shot
away.
"I had a Mexican assistant named
Gonzales. He was entrusted with the
messages and plans of Villa's arm v.
He used to translate the contents of
his dispatches to me and I would
eopy them in English. One day I had
the misfortune to be forced to make
a landing inside our own lines. The
eopy of the messages whidi I kept in
a secret hiding plaee in the machine
fell out and were seized by Villa men,
I was arrested and sentenced to be
shot, together with my mechanician
a fellow named Smith. Through the
kindness of a woman, however, we
made our escape, and by using our re
volvers generously, we were able to
get way.
