MYSTERY
In the Death of Pretty
Woman.
Headache Powders She Used
Contained Poison.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 1.-THE
death of Mrs. William Klumpp, of
Lowell, 20 miles east of here, Sunday
night, has developed sensational fea-
lures, which recall the famous Molin-
eux case in New York.
Mrs. Klumpp was the young wife of
laborer, good looking, with many
friends, happy in her family relations
and not known to have an enemy in
the world. Last week she received a
sample package of headache powders,
and, as she was subject to headaches,
she laid them aside for future use.
Last Sunday she became i'll and while
her husband was away from home she
took one of the powders and lay
down. When her husband came in
she was in commissions on the floor and
about 10 o'clock that night she died.
The headache powders came to her
by mail the package bore a Lowell
mark and the address appeared to be
in feminine hand. The Coroner took
charge Of the remaining powder in the
package and also similar package
received by Mrs. Miller, who lives
across the street, and sent them with

the dead woman's stomach for anal
ysis. The remaining powder was
found to contain four grains of strich.-
nine The powders received by Mrs.
Miller were of similar composition. In
the dead woman's stomach were found
three OF four grains of strichnine. 1t
is stated that others in the village
had received similar sample packages
and one man is said to have been ser1-
ously affected by taking a powder,
though he did not die.
Coroner and Sheriff are investlgat-
ing, but hus far have been unable to
find motive for the crime or clew
to the perpetrator. Mrs. Klumpp's
husband is about 30 years old and his
divorced wife lives in the same vii
lage. Mrs. Miller, like Mrs. Klumpp,
is aot known to have any enemies and
that she also received package adds
to the mystery.

Many people with weak digestion,
as well as some physicians, consider
the first step to take in attempting to
cure Indigestion is to restrict the diet,
either by selecting certain foods and
rejecting others or to cut down the
amount of food eaten to barely enough
to keep soul and body together, in 9TH
er words, the starvation plan is by
many supposed to be the first essen
tial.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend
dieting to a man already suffering
from starvation, because indigestion
itself starves every organ, nerve and
fibre in the body.
What people with poor digestion
most need is abundant nutrition,
plenty of good, wholesome, properly
cooked food, and something to assist
the weak stomach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and the true reason why they cure the
worst cases of stomach trouble.
Eat a sufficient amount of whole
some food and after each meal take
one or two of stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's to promptly digest it,
In this way the system is nourished
and the overworked stomach rested,
because the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not.
one grain Of the active digestive prin-
ciple in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
being sufficient TO digest 5000 grains
of meat, eggs, or other albuminous
food.
DR.. Harlandson and DR.. Redwell
recommend these tablets in all cases
of defective digestion because the pen
sin and diastase in them are absolutely
free from animal matter and other i'm.
puritles, and being pleasant to the
taste are as safe and harmless for the
child as for the adult.
All drug stores sell this excellent pre
paration and the daily use of them af-
ter meals will be of great benefit, NOT
only as an immediate relief but to per.
manently build UP and inyigorate the
digestive organs.

LIVE A CENTURY
We Must Live Natural to Become Gen.
tenarians.

History tells us that in the good old
times, men used to live a century. In
those days the sturdy men and women
followed closely all the laws of nature.
It's unnatural habits and the abuse
of the body that brings on old age.
Live natural if you would enjoy a
long life and ripe old age. We must
not expect impure or imperfect food
to produce perfect health,
Here is the key to health in a nut
shell: Live natural and look well to
your diet.
There is a continual waste going on
In the body and this must be rebuilt
or we would soon die of premature old
age Food, not medicine, will do this.
The food expert who made the ex-
periments which resulted in the pro-
duction of Malt-Nut, had studied the
question of repairing the daily waste
in the body and aimed to produce a
perfect food.
BY combining heat digested matted
cereals with emulsified oil of nuts,
Malt-Nut is not only a brain and mus
Gle builder but fat and tissue form
Ing food, containing all the elements
OF nutrition demanded by nature to
repair the daily waste of the body.
Malt-Nut has delicious, nutty taste
and by reason Of the scientific treat
ment the ingredients are subjected to,
Is easily digested by the weakest
stomach. 1t gives strength to the in

JERUSALEM CONCESSION.
n. J,ocntiop on the st. Louis Worlds
Fair Site Has Been Definitely
settled.

ST. Louis, Nov. 12.-The location OF
the Jerusalem concession on the
Worlds fair site has been definitely
fixed on the beautiful hill just in
front of the machinery building, now
in course of erection. This hill is va
riously known as Camp or Terrace
hill. and is one of the best sites on the
grounds for an attraction of this
kind, being prominently situated
overlooking tine main picture OF the
exposition ard very near the street
Of concessions.
The hill itself lies near the restau-
rant pavilion on the western spur Of
art hill. The space required for the
Jerusalem exhibit is estimated by ex-
position officials at about seven or
eight acres, and the miniature Holy
City will lie partly on the slope of the
hill and partly in the beautiful valley
of cedars toward the western spur
Of art hill. On the slope will be seen
the minarets and towers of the an
cient city surrounded by the walls
that inclosed the capital of Judea.
In the valley TO the right will be the
Vale of Kedron. The aim of the con-
cessionaire has been in obtaining To-
cation for the miniature Jerusalem to
have a spot for its reproduction that
would be in harmony with the topo'
graphical lay of the real Jerusalem.
and the selection Of this site is be.
licved TO come as close to this as it
is possible to do.
