CINCINNATI MURDER
SUSPECTS IN JAIL
Indiana Boy Arrested on Suspi-
cion of Participation in !
Stengeweg Crime. e,a .
Now York Sun Special Service.

Now York Sun Special Service.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov 9.-The police
have arrested two suspects in connec
ton with the murder of Alma Stenge-
veg, the girl telephone operator, last
Wednesday night, and have run down
another witness in the case of Lula
Mueller, whose dead body was found
Stengeweg some days before.
Arrested on suspicion in the Stenge-
veg. case is Charles Fox, Is years old,
of Sugar Branch, Ind, who gave the
name of man, who, he says, he has
reason to believe committed the muir
der. Fox refused to account for his
own movements on the fatal night. Fox
had been loafng around the scene of
the murder.
Early yesterday, John L. McGraw of
| Chicago was arrested in the city work
on the charge Of disorderly conduct
After the murder it was noticed that
the description Of the prisoner tailed
with that of the man seen about the
scene of the crimes. McGraw was taken
from the workhouse and locked up.
Suspicious spots, looking like blood
on his clothing will be examined. .
While Investigating the Stengewee
tragedy, detectives found an import
ant witness in the Lulu Mueller case
one who will be relied upon to smash
the alibi of Wilson and Salmon, two
suspects. Henry Mueller, a brother Of
the slain Lulu Mueller, learned that
George Engel, a cooper, claimed to have
at 9:l5 CLOCK on the night Of the
girl s death. This was not more thar
fifteen minutes before the clearly estab
lished time Of her death.

AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant.

A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large restau-
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number of hearty, vigorous old men at
the tables; men whose ages run from
go to SO years; many of them bald and
ell perhaps gray, but none OF them
feeble or senile2
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless it is an OBJ
jeet lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
that they are not munching bran crack
through a menu card of new-fangled
health foods; on the contrary, they
seem to prefer juicy roast of beef
a properly turned 1oin of mutton, and
even the deadly broiled lobster is not
altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that vigor.
Gus old age depends upon good diges
not upon dieting and an endeavor tc
live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of fooC
cranks who seem to believe that meat
coffee and many other good things are
rank poisons, but these cadaverous
ing condemnation of their own theories
The matter in nutshell is that il
the stomach secretes the natural diges
tive juices in sufficient quantity, any
wholesome food will be promptly di
gested; if the stomach does not do so
and certain foods cause distress, one OF
two of Stuart IS Dyspepsia Tablets at
ter each meal will remove all difficulty
because they supply just what every
weak stomach lacks-pepsin, hydro
chloric acid, diastase and nux.
Stuart 8 Dyspepsia Tablets do MOI
act upon the bowels, and, in fact, are
not strictly "a medicine, as they act
almost entirely upon the food eaten
digesting it thoroughly and thus Civ
ing the stomach a. much needed rest
and an appetite for the next meal.
Of the people who travel, nine out
of ten use Stuart $ Dyspepsia Tablets
knowing them to be perfectly safe tt
use at any time and also having founl
out by experience that they are safe
guard against indigestion in any form
and eating as they have to. at all hours
and all kinds of food, the travelling
public for years have pinned their faitl
to Stuart s Tablets.
All druggists sell them at SO cent
for full-sized packages and any drug
gist, from Maine to California; if hi
opinion were asked, will say that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the mos
popular and successful remedy for an,
J stomach trouble.
