Drying preparations

simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up
the secretions which adhere to the mem
brane and decompose, causing a far more
serious trouble than the ordinary form
of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants
and use that which cleanses, soothes and
heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a
remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in
the head easily and pleasantly. All
druggists sell it at so cents or it will be

called Grain-O. 1t is a delicious, appe-
tizing, nourishing food drink to take the

finest coffee but is free from all its inJuri-
Gus properties. Grain-O aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. 1t is not a

CASTOR SAFE IN JAIL.
Long Search for the Alleged Wife
Murderer Ended at Last.
His Brother and a Minister Surrender Him
10 the Sheriff at Keene.

Keene, N. H., June 9-Louis Castor.
Jr., who shot and killed his wife at her
home. about ten days ago. and who had
been i'm hiding since, is now under
guard in the county jail.
The search for Castor came to an
abrupt end last night when his brother.
Joseph Castor, and Rev. Mr.. Wheeler.
rector Of st. James Episcopal church,
appeared at Sheriff Tuttle's house with
the alleged murderer in their charge.
Castor was so thoroughly exhausted
that he could not talk. and after being
searched he was taken int othe Jail and
locked up.
Neither Joseph Castor nor Mr.. Wheel
er would say where they found the
prisoner. but IL is evident that the lat
ter, finding escape from the woods
without detection impossible, surren-
-defed 10 his brother.
For some days the search for Cas-
tor had been conducted with pack of
Boston bloodhounds, but the roads and
hillsdes were so dry from want of
rain that the dogs could not follow a
trail for any distance, though they be-
haved very intelligently.
Castor had been seen at least twice
since he committed the murder before
last night but the police could not To-
cate him when those appearances were
reported.

A special meeting of the school COM
