MISSING DIAMOND RECOVERED.
Jewel LOST a year Ago at Concordia
Is Traced In

jewel Lost q 36S1E ago at AO0G0NGAtA
Is Traced Up.
About a year ago Mrs. ina Zimmerman,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Martin
Of the Barons house, left a valuable dia-
mond ring valued at from S125 TO $50, in
one Of the bath rooms of the hotel and
when she missed and made search for the
jewel it had disappeared and nothing was
ever seen or heard of 1t until a few days
ago when Officer Carl Moore, who has
been working on the case ever since the
ring disappeared, secured a. clue which
led mp to the recovery of the ring and
positive evidence of the sale of the stone,
which had been removed from the set
ting.
Acting on this information a warrant
was secured in Justice Sexsmith s court
this morning for Eugene jenkins, a. for
mer enploye of the Barons, charging MIN
with the theft and sale of the jewel. He
IS now under arrest in jamestown and
Officer Moore has gone after him. Jen-
kins nursed the late Dr. Zimmerman dur
ing his last Illness.
Jenkins, according to the story, took the
set from the ring and soaked It to Raph-
ael Purella to secure a debt. He was to
pay the debt when he sold the stone, but
falling to do SO, Purella squealed on him
and gave the band up to Mr.. Moore. Mrs.
Zimmerman quickly identified it as her
property. Pure1la said that jenkins had
sold the stone to A. r. Weinberg while
employed by the latter as clerk.-Con-

What VIII Become of Grady?

New York, Feb 16.-The Robisons Of St
Louis have thrust Michael Angelo Grady
upon the New York club, but while Nc
Graw thinks the heavy-hitting catcher
is good man to have around, he does
not fancy him enough 70 pay q big price
or trade any of his players for the Cardi-
nal backstop. The St. Louis club owners
say they want to lose Grady because he
is a disturbing element on their team and
not because of lack of ability. The cir
cumstances are about the same as those
which resulted in Jack Warmers release
by New York, and no one can say that
Warner was let out because of poor play
ing.

How Good Food may
Turn to Poison

IN EcAY Is not digestion. you
know. even when 1t takes
~ place in the stomach.
Food decayed in the body
after being eaten is as dangerous 10
health as food decayed before being eaten.
Food nourishes or Poisons. just accord
ing to how long it remains in the Bowels
undigested.
casoarets are the simplest and surest
safeguard against Delayed Digestion yet
discovered.
Sold in a thin Enamel Box, half as
thick as your watch. which fits into the
vest pocket or lady's purse as if it grew
there.
IN this round-edged Enamel Box are
found six small Candy Tablets.
One of these toothsome tablets works
wonders for digestion.
Soon as placed in the mouth il starts
the Saliva flowing. which at once gets to
work dissolving it.
The Saliva becomes blended with the
Candy Cascaret tablet. and from the
moment they start going down your
throat together they start working to-
gether.
Row, what do they work at? Bowel
work, of eourse-Digestion.
Most of the Digestion occurs in the
thirty feet of intestines that connect with
the Stomach.
They are lined with a set Of little
mouths, that squeeze Digestive Juices
into the Food eaten.
The Digestive Juices thus mix with
the food, just as Saliva mixes with Cas-
earet tablets, dissolving and changing
that food into nourishment. as it passes
along the channel.

CLEANING OF E
How Some Chicago Property owners
Are Solving the Problem.


How property can have the
streets about their residences kept
clean is demonstrated 10y the work OF
ali improvement association i'll a sec
ton OF Chicago.
Hardly q section of the city is now
| without its Improvement association"
small. we'll ordered and organized bod
les of earnest property owners and resi-
dents, who are determined their streets
shall be kept clean even though ii he at
their w private cost. says the Chi
cage News.
All parts of Chicago are beginning to
feel their influence. and much OF the
Improvement in the city'S thorough
fares. which has bccn the subject OF
comment, is due to their We'll directed
activities. Each association has its lit
tie section or division OF streets to look
after, and as nearly every resident in
the section takes q personal interest in
3he work in preventive as We'll as cor
iective measures ii is we'll done.
One of these associations was recent
ly organized to care for the streets in
the neighborhool of Wicker park, on
the northwest slGc. The Wicker Park
Improvement association has been in
existence only 4 few months. hut it has
already accomplished much.
The domain of this association is the
territory bounded on the south by West
Division street. on the west by North
Leavitt. north by West North avenue
and east by North Robey street. Every
day from dawn until sunset its white
jacketed workmcn may be seen busily
engaged with shovel and broom on both
sidewalk and street. According to j. c.
MatthiSon. secretary Of the ~organiza-
ton. the support already given to it by
the neighborhood has far exceeded the
expectations of the promoters of the
movement.
Part of the equipment of the associa-
ton is a horse and a wagon. and suffi-
cient funds are pledged to guarantee
the cleaning of the streets every other
day. 1t is intended to plant trees and
otherwise beautify the thoroughfares.
The cost of membership in the asso-
citation is . cents a month for every
foot of frontage represented. wne Of

Value of Trading In Your own Town.
A right that belongs to every citizen
is the privilege of spending his earnings
in whatever and where he wish
es as long as he keeps within the law.
No one will dispute the farmers claim
that he can send his money to any place
that he wishes and buy goods he needs
wherever he wants to. But there is an
economic side Of the question that
should not be overlooked. says d. NJ.
Carr in Home Trade Advocate. The
resident of a community should be &C
tive in furthering the interests Of the
place he calls home. He is working
contrarily to his own good when he
sends his money to the distant city for
supplies he knows can be secured in
his home town. The dollar sent away
goes out of circulation and ceases to be
a factor in the building up Of the COM
munity from which it is sent.
