SAY HE KILLED HIS MOTHER.
Startling Development in the Search
for a Young ChiCagoan.

With a jagged wound in the left tenn
pie, and physical evidence that she had
been strangled or smothered, the almost
nude body of Mrs. Annie Bartholin was
found buried beneath the cellar floor of
the house in which she lived at No. 1910
Calumet avenue, Chicago.
Coincident with the finding of the body,
the police redoubled their efforts to find
the missing son, William Bartholin, who
is also suspected of the murder of Miss
Minnie Mitchell, whose body was found
in vacant lot at Seventy and
State streets. The body of Mrs. Bar
tholin was found by a party of newspa-
per men, after the police had searched
the house.
There is no apparent motive for the
killing of Mrs. Bartholin or of Minnie
Mitchell, but the police are following ev-
cry possible theory. The one that finds
most favor at present is that the young
man, being in debt, killed his mother in
order that her equity in the mortgaged
property might revert to him. While
this theory will not cover the murder OF
the Mitchell girl in any way, the police
believe that Bartholin had the idea that
she either suspected him Of killing his
mother or that she had taken him to task
for telling conflicting stories regarding
his mothers disappearance.

His Last W all.

The white-robed nurses quietly bus
led themselves at the patients bedside.
He was plainly breathing his last.
"Have you anything to say?" tenderly
asked the attending physician.
Nothing-nothing" gasped the dy-
ing man. ."It is only this regret-this
remorse-this terrible blow to my self
respect!'
He breathed now in a labored man
ner, and they bent lower to hear his
story divulged.

all the anti-speed laws in christendom
against automobiles, and then-and

Paul Ford's Courtesy.

No other anecdote concerning the late
Paul Leicester Ford shows better his
innate courtesy and self-possession
than the following.
1t was at a literary reception in
Brooklyn. A number Of "lions" OF
greater or less magnitude were there
among them clergyman whose some
what arrogant manner made him IN
duly conspicuous.
AS he came forward, blinking near
sightedIy, to greet his hostess, he no
ticed a short, slight figure standing at
her side.
Without looking more closely at this
second person, whom he supposed to be
one of the boys Of the neighborhood
the clergyman slapped him Familiarity
on the shoulder saying:
"Well, and how are you, my little
man."
every we'll, thank you," replied the
other, politely, amid a general gasp
from those around them.
Zine lad! Who Is he" queried the
clergyman, turning to his hostess.
at is Mr. Paul Leicester Ford, the
guest Of honor this evening" she
answered.

Garry Weight on Your Head if You
Would Stand Erect.
A STOPPING figure is not only a IA
miliar expression of weakness or old
age, but it is, when caused by care
less habits, a direct cause Of contract
ed chest and defective breathing. I'm
less you rid yourself Of this crook
While at school you will probably go
bent to your grave. There Is one good
way to cure it. Shoulder braces will
not help. One needs not an artificial
substitute, but some means to develop
the muscles whose duty it is to hold
the head and shoulders erect. I know
OF only one bulPs-eye shot, says a
writer in Halls Journal of Health.
1t Is to carry a weight on the head.
A sheepskin or other strong bag filled
with twenty or thirty pounds of sand
Is a good weight. When engaged in
your morning studies, either before or
after breakfast put the bag Of sand
on your head, hold your head erect,
draw your chin close to your neck and
walk slowly about the room, coming
back If you please every minute or
two to your book or carrying the book
as you walk
The muscles whose duty it is to hold
the head and shoulders erect are hit,
not with scattering shot, but with
rifle ball. The bones Of the spine and
the intervertebral substance will soon
accommodate themselves to the new
attitude. One year of daily practice
with the bag, half an hour morning
and evening, will give you noble car
rage without interfering a moment
with your studies.

BIG YEAR FOR CROPS.
Harvest of Wheat, Corn and Oats Prom
Uses to Be Great.


Uses to Be Great.
Nature has dealt lavishly with the
farmers throughout the grain growing
section of the country, despite the heavy
rains of June and July in some localities,
and the drought in others, and as a gen
eral proposition the crops will exceed
those of last year, and i'll many instances
prove the largest for a number of years.
Not only is there promise of this being
a banner year in the amount of grain
harvested, but prices are very high.
The monthly report of the statistician
of the Department of Agriculture shows
the condition of corn on Aug. 1 to have
been 500, as compared with S7.5 on July
1, 1902, 81 on Aug. 1, 1901, $40 at the
corresponding date in 1900, and ten
year average of 81. There has been an
improvement during the month of 10
points in Pennsylvania, Z in Indiana and
Wisconsin, 4 in Ohio, Illinois and Kansas,
3 in Iowa and II in Nebraska. This sub
stantial Improvement in the most lmpOr-
tant corn States would undoubtedly have
resulted in a marked Improvement III the
average for the entire country but for
the fact that fourteen Southern States,
containing 36.S per cent of the total corn
acreage, show an average decline during
July of 1917 points.
The statistician estimates the winter
wheat crop at about $3.50, 100000 bushels,
or an average of 1873 bushels per acre.
While this estimate is subject to revision,
thrashing not being sufficiently advanced
in the more northerly sections of the win
ter wheat belt to justify the making of
definite and final estimate at this time, it
is based on reports of yield per acre, i'll

What O. Good Name Does.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 11th.-Mr. Vail
berg, of 222 South Peoria St., this city,
had for years been an invalid with
liver complaint and kidney trouble
which was fast fastening him to the
grave. The doctors gave him up and
his friends and neighbors all declared
he could not live.
His brother came from Minneapolis
to see him before he died and in
quired if he had tried Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
On being told that this remedy had
not been used he went out at once and
bought a box, feeling satisfied from
what he knew of Dodd's Kidney Pills
and the noble work they had been do
ing in Minnesota, that they would save
his brothers life.
The first two days Mr. Vahlberg
seemed to grow worse, but after that
he gradually improved under the treat
ment and was soon restored to COM
plete good health.
