MY DAUGHTER

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound Became Entirely Normal
Clinton, Wisconsin.—" My daughter
was in a very run-down condition, and
was irritable, and
would cry at every
little thing she was
so weak and ner
vous. As Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound had
helped me when I
was a girl I gave it
to her to build her
up, and the results
were all that we
could wish for. I
wish that every
mother with growmp girls would try it
for these troubles girls often have. I
had tal on it myself before my girl was
born, and she was one of the nicest
babies any one could wish to have. 1
recommend the Vegetable Compound
to women and girls and cannot praise it
too highly.” - Mrs. I. A. Holford,
Box 48, Clinton, Wisconsin.
Mothers can depend upon Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to re
lieve their daughters of those troubles
they so often have. Thev know from
experience the value of tne Vegetable
Compound in the treatment of these
complaints and many, like Mrs. Holford,
give it to thc-ir daughters. _
Engineer Offers to
Take Money in Can
Gastonia Gazette.
W. U. Holway was engineer of Tul
sa s $(,500,000 project by which water
for that city is brought from Spavinaw
lake, 55 miles away, by gravity. His
final fee of $15,000 depended on the
water coming through, hundreds of
people declared the gravity system
wouldn't work.
Mr. Holway proposed that a check
for his $15,000 be sealed in a tin can
and started through the long concrete
conduit, he to take the chance that it
made the 55 mile trip.
The plan was at first agreed to,
but was not carried out, as it devel
oped when the water was released a
few days ago that it reached Tulsa a|
day ahead of the promised time, more
than vindicating Mr. Hoiway’s confi-'
dence in his work. So he got his check
in the usual way.
When a reputable modern engineer
tells you he can accomplish something,
it is a pretty safe bet that lie will
make good. Hats off to Mr. llohvay.

E
Chemist Declam Mrs. Sheatsley
Must Have cBen Dead When
Placed in the Furnace.
Columbus, O., Dec. 2.—Further evi
dence to support County Prosecutor
John R. Kind's theory that Mrs. Ad
die Sheatsley, wife of the Rev. C. V.
Sheatsley, Rexley pastor, was dead
before her body entered the furnace
in the basement of parsonage was
furnished the prosecutor late today
when experts reported that an analy
sis, of the blood of two guinea pigs
cremated alive in the same furnace
revealed large quantities of carbon
monoxide.
The tt"t was made nt the order of
Mr. King to determine whether a liv
ing thing east in to the flames would
inhale a sufficient amount of the poi
sonous gas to be evident in the blood
before death. An analysis of blood
from the lungs of Mrs. Sheatsley
show no signs 0f carbon monoxide,
chemists previously had reported.
The experts, Mr. B. M. Bundago,
patheologist, and F. Long, chemist,
reported to the prosecutor today that
their analysis showed the Mood of
the guinea pigs to be “literally satu
rated” with carbon monoxide
The experiment was conducted un
der conditions which Mr. King de
clared were us nearly as possible
these at the time the minister's wife
is believed to have met her death.
As a result of the tests, the experts
were confident that the woman was
dead before her body entered the fur
nace. Had she been alive, they de
clared in the report, carbon monox
ide would have been found in her
blood as in the blood of the guinea
pins.
The experts conferred with the
prosecutor during the afternoon. What
further action the prosecutor will
take was not indicated.
The cremated body of Mrs. Sheats
ley was taken from the furnace of
tlic parsonage more than three weeks
ago, where it was found by her hus
band, the Rev. C. V. Sheatsley, pas
tor of Christ Lutheran church of Bex
ley, a wealthy suburb.
The coroner’s preliminary report
pave suicide as a possible solution to
the mystery, but prosecutor King or-,
dered an investigation.
Three week-1 of questioning of
members of the family and neighbors
has thrown no light on the mystery,
the prosecutor said.

Strange Story Is
Unlocked by Death
Pittsburgh,—The story of a wealthy
southern hanker, who left a fortune
of $500,000 and his home and business
after a quarrel with his wife was told
to police today as the body of Jesse L.
Lemon was sent to his former home
in Acworth, CJn. The former banker
had been working as a collector for a
sewing machine company here for $18
a week. He died last Friday in a poorly
furnished room, which he shared with
a fellow employe, without the services
of a physician in his last illness.
Guy L. Snyder, a fellow employe,
at the sewing machine company, said
Lemon told him when he came here,
three years ago, that he had quarrel
ed with his wife over some trifling
matter 11 years ago. When he went
home after the quarrel, Snyder said,
the doors of his house were locked and
Lemon went to the bank, drew out $1,
800 and left Acworth. Snyder said he
did not know where Lemon passed the
eight years before coming to Pitts
j burgh.
