Internal machines of torture were used.

facks, were placed around their naked
bodies, and other such ever-before-heard

The False Notions

Exist in the minds of many otherwise in
telligent people as to the requirements of a
disordered stomach or liver. The swallow
ing of nauseons and powerful drugs is the
way to encourage, not to cure dyspepsia
and liver complaint. Nor can constipat-
ed or otherwise disordered condition Of the
bowels be remeded by similar treatment.
That agreeable and thorough stomachic

the reverse of unpleasant, and never pro-
duces violent effects, is far preferable to
medicines of the classes referred to. 1t in

cheers the mind while it strengthens the
body, and institutes complete reform in
the action of the dsordered stomach, bow
els or liver. Appetite and sleep are both
promoted, uterine and kidney affections
greatly benefited by its use. 1t is indeed a
comprehensive and meritorious prepara-
ton, free from drawbacks of any kind.

none are SO good OF so beneficial as the

A Deficit of $1,000 Found So Far In
His Account.


The trial OF Exnicious, ex-clerk Of the
finance department of the city, for embezzling
funds paid into the treasury by taxpayers,
will come off on Saturday next before Judge
Sheehan. Administrator Isaacson says there
has been discovered, SO far, deficit In Ex-
nicious's accounts Of about 1920, and, that
while 1t is impossible to Say how much the
city was robbed OF, the bond of the embez-
zling clerk Is ample to cover any possible de-
ficit On Saturday the bills receipted by Ex-
nlctous and the parties who paid the money
to him will be produced in court, and also
the register In which the various amounts
should have been but were not entered. What
the defense OF the accused will be 1t Is impos-
sblet to say. In the presence OF such concu-
sive evidence Of his crime, it Is difficult to
conceive what possible defense he can set up.
The Administrator has never seen the culprit
since thel otfense was!discovered, and declares
that his duty is plain, and he will prosecute
him to the full extent Of claw.
1t remains to be seen If the young man will
continue to bear himself with that easy devil
may-care manner which characterized him on
his first appearance in the courtroom.
