LIGHT ON a CHICAGO CRIME.
Recent Family Butchery Found to Have
Kesnlted from Bisamy.

CHICAGO, Feb. s.-The investigation in
connection with the wholesale slaughter
OF tho klaetke family by the anarchist
Richard Klaetke has brought to light n
fresh sensation regarding the killing of
the Hellman family, one of the several
parallel cases here within the past few
months. Hellman, who was a prosper
Gus contractor, asphyxiated his wife, four
children, and himself. At the time it was
supposed to be the result of insanity, but
1t has now been discovered that Hellman
had two families, the Chicago household
and wife and two children in Ger
many.
A short time before the tragedy occurred
HellInan received news that his deserted
wife in Germany had discovered his
whereabouts and was even then on her
way with her children to America. He'll
mans first wife arrived few DAYS after
the tragedy, and is now living in the
house in which her husband and his Amer.

POISON IN THE BLOOD,
Which is the Direct Cause of Rheu.
matism, and in Fact of Most
Physical Troubles.
"These are irving times.m

"1hese are trying times"
The speaker was a middle aged
man and father of quite family.
81 don't refer to business" he con-
tinued, "but to the trying weather.
have a severe attack of rheuma-
tism. my wife has a bad cold and the
rest of the family are not well.
II known it is common thing to
lay all these troubles to the weather,
but have come to the conclusion
that the condition of the system has
much to do with it. If the man who
has rheumatism and the woman who
has cold will trace back for the
cause, it will be found in some weak
ness of the body.
"And do you know what l think
the greatest weakness in the bodv
is? will tell you. l believe it is
due to uric acid, which is in the
blood, keeping it fermented all the
time. / know that it causes rheu.
matism and l believe most colds.
"You naturally ask how does this
uric acid get into the blood. The
answer is very simple. The kidneys
do not do their duty and throw it
from the system as they should, and
therefore, it remains in the blood.
and believe that if the uric acids
were removed from the blood, most
rheumatism and colds would disap-
pear"
The gentleman was right, and he
might have added that Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys is also brought
about by this same cause. Is it not
plain to be seen that if the kidneys
are strong and healthy and throw the
uric acid out of the system. it will
not get into the blood and so poison
the muscles and joints and cause
rheumatism. or decay the kidneys
and cause Bright's disease.
There has never been but one
known remedy for all troubles of the
kidneys. and that is Warmers Safe
Cure. 1t has been found by the med
zeal profession TO be possessed of
properties unknown to any discovery
of modern or ancient times. 1t has
taken men, and women, too, who
were in the last stages, and restored
them to perfect health and strength.
1t is endorsed by physicians. ap-
proved by scientists, and used by the
best people in the land: Ii is sci
entitic preparation and owes its pop
ularity wholly to its power.
1t should be borne IN mind, how
ever. that where there are such seri-
Gus troubles as those above men
toned. only strictly reliable prep
aration can be used with hope or
safety.
1t will pay you to bear these things
in mind.
