What Can a Woman
Do for a Man?
In Times of Suffering and Critical
illness She Can Honestly
Recommend
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
AS Saver of Life and a Banisher
of Disease.

Woman's power for good in the
home can never be truly estimated In
times of suffering and danger, her
judgment and experience are inValu-
able; her smiles, words of cheer and
comfort help to dispel gloom and sad
ness. The faithful, discerning wife has
a full knowledge of the value of Paine's
Celery Compound as a banisher of
disease; she has noted it's wonderful
effects and cures; she has faith in it's
virtues, and recommends it with full
confidence. Mr.. Rudolph M. Hunter, of
the well known Hunter Corporation,
Philadelphia, Pa, says:
Il feel it is but right that 1 should
acknowledge my appreciation Of
Paine'S Celery Compound. That you
may understand my appreciation, 1
might say that for nearly twenty years
have continually suffered from neu-
ralgia, poor circulation at night, and
general nervous weakness from over
work, due to daily labors of from
twelve to eighteen hours upon the most
intricate and eXhausting of brain
work. To retire at night meant the
worst of headaches and lack of sleep.
l received I'D relief from physicians
and my enormous work upon my cleo
trlcal inventions and litigations has
prevented me taking the rest so much
needed. Some time ago 1 began to take
Paine's Celery Compound, and I soon
felt like new man. All my physical
troubles practically ceased. Paine's
Celery Compound has done for me
what the medical profession could NOT

WOMAN WHO WEIGHS A QUAR-

FOR DIVORCE
TOWN HASN'T A HACK
BIG ENOUGH TO HAUL HER
Trial May Have to Be Held at the
Home of the Plaintiff, Who Sues Her
Husband for Desertion and Nom
Support-DiIemma Ludcrous One.


Special to The Globe.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, Aug. s.
Mrs. Catherine McGroaty, whose weight
is over 500 pounds and who does not
travel even on shopping excursions
because she cannot find a hack with a
door big enough to let her in, has fled
a suit for divorce against Barney Nc
Groaty on the ground Of desertion and
support.
The interesting question has arisen
as how the trial is to be had. There is
said to be no vehicle in the city, other
than the truck used for hauling safes,
sufficiently strong to transport the
plaintiff to the court house. And even
after she has been taken there, doubt
is expressed as to the possibility of her
being able to climb the stairs to the
court room on the second floor. 1t is
suggested that the court may have to
enact the role of Mahomet as recalled
by the proverb, concerning the prophet
and the mountain.
Mrs. McGroaty, despite her magni-
fcent proportions, is not ungraceful.
In fact, she is quite handsome. She is
between five feet eight inces and five
feet nine inches tall and she has we'll
formed features.

OYSTER BAY, N. ". Aug. Sat
torney General Knox today confirmed
the report that he had had a personal
difficulty with a party ofemen in Allan
tic City last Wednesday night.
1T was one of those disagreeable in
cidents,' said he, that sometimes oc-
cur in a restaurant or other public
place. Accompanied by Mrs. Knox,
my daughter and two or three friends,
including District Attorney Youngs, of
Pittsburg, l was dining in the restau-
rant of the Garden hotel. A party of
men, none of whom I knew, seated
themselves at an adjoining table. Their
conduct was unseemly and boisterous.
They talked loudly, and their COM
ments upon members of my party and
upon me were insulting, to put it very
mildly.
Under the circumstances, accompa-
MED as | was by the ladies, could not
resent their action or their words at
that time. They evidently were seek
ing trouble, so without attracting any
more attention than possible, got my
party out of the restaurant.
Then I returned" continued Mr..
Knox with a smile, ''tos see if the men
really were looking for me. I think
they were, for scarcely had approach
ed them when they sprang up. One Of
them aimed a blow at my stomach, but
it failed to reach me. l have no idea

general was asked.
mot positively. I understand that
Charles T. Schoen, of Philadelphia, and
one of the Cramps, also of Philadel-
phia, were in the party, but even of
that am not at all positive. What ac-
tuated them I do not know. A news
paper of today said that it had some
thing to do with my attitude on the
trust question, but that seems to be
entirely unlikely. AS they sat at the
table in the restaurant they made no
reference to the action which, as attor-
ney general, I have taken against GER
tain SO-called trusts. Their remarks
were personal to me and to my family,
and were of such nature that could
do nothing but resent them.
Il understand that after left the
restaurant at the conclusion of the diff
ficulty, the walters suppressed the
crowd with some energy"
The attorney general evidently was
not in the least injured by his assail-
ants, and, as he chatted about the trou-
bic did not seem to regard it very Sc
riously.

Lewis G. Toombs Goes to His Death

CHICAGO, Aug 8. Lewis G..
Toombs was hanged today for the
murder of Carrie Larson. He went
to the scaffold without tremor. He
made short statement, in which he
protested his innocence and expressed
confidence that his name would be
cleared of the crime attributed to him.
Death resulted from strangulation.
The crime for which Toombs paid

had hired the young woman to assist
him on the boat, which was lying ice
bound in it's winter quarters in the
Burlington slip in the Chicago river
The only other occupant of the boat
was Robert Keissig, a roustabout
1t was the story of Keissig that con-
v1cted Toombs of one of the most hor-
rible crimes ever discovered in this
city. Late at night Toombs had come
to the steamer and had tried to force
his way into the young woman's
room. Failing in this he ordered her
to cook him a meal. AS she started
out to comply, Toombs strangled her.

compelled Keissig, who was an unwilI-
ing witness, to help him bury the
body under the ice in the river Sew

cry of the body of the woman and

cal disorders.
Il believe the time will come when
surgery will be used only in treating
injuries resulting from accident. I be-
heve that osteopathy should always
stand for the principle that the stom-
ach was created to receive water and
food only. We omit materia medica
from our list of studies because it's
practice is injurious, and not because
our attention is too much taken up
with other remedies. The Idea that
any poison can be taken@into the stom-
ach by anybody at any timetand with
out great probability Of doing more
harm than good is a delusion and a
snare. And the good that drugs might
happen to accomplish can be accom-
plished by natural means"

the council adjourned, just as though
nothing extraordinary had been requested

sent in his resignation some time ago, to
take effect at a certain date, which was
apparently not satisfactory to some of

IMMENSE FOREST FIRES RAGING
Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars
Worth of Timber Destroyed.

BATTLE LAKE, Wyo., Aug. S.-The
immense forest fires are burning
fiercely within a few miles Of this
town. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of some of the most val
liable timber in Wyoming has been de-
stroyed, and unless the flames are
checked by rain the loss will reach into
the millions.
On the west fork of the Encampment
river one OF the most beautiful forests
in the state is being ravaged by fires
that started in three different places,
but, which have now spread into one
gigantic blaze. The amount of tim
Der that will be destroyed there alone
is estimated at least at $1,000,O00. No
little concern is being manifested for
the safety of the towns of Castle Lake
and Rambler, which lie a mile and
half apart. The origin of the fire is
attributed to sheep herders and camp
movers,
