woman, who, representing herself as a
prominent member OF the 400" walked
out of Tiffany's with the gems In n small
parcel, has been reported to police head
quarters. There is absolutely no clue on
which to base an investigation.
For more than a week the woman had
the Jewels. which were charged to the
society woman, before Tifrany's manager
discovered that he had been duped.
A little more than a week ago an electric
brougham stopped In front OF the Tiffany
store and a woman. richly clad. stepped
out and entered the store. She walked
around for some time and finally stopped
I'm front Of one OF the display cases, which
was blazing with diamonds.
The woman was just a bit too shrewd
TO appear deeply interested, and she main
tained her coolpess while she asked that
number OF other articles be shown TO
her.
Finally she got back to tho case and
several articles were taken out for her
inspection. She slipped rings on her nm
gers pursed her lips as II she didn't like
them. and finally selected several pieces
OF diamond set iewelry. She produced
from her chatelane bag letters and papers
which would indicate that she was Mrs.
Yesterday tho real Mrs appeared at
the store TO buy n few little pieces OF
iewelry
The manager mentioned the fact that
she was supposed TO have $1,000 worth
OF Jewels on appreciation.

Indianapolis Ind. Feb G. -- The execu-
tive board OF the United Mine Workers
adjourned yesterday without issuing a
formal statement regarding the position
OF the organization I'm the present crisis
and will not meet again until after the
New York conference with the anthracite
opera tors.
II was agreed at the meeting that
the strike assessment shall be 81 per
week per member and that the resolu-
ton adopted q the recent convention,
which inhiblts any district from making
an agreement for a scale unless all dis
tricts are included. is binding on the or
ganization, and that scale agreements
canpot therefore be made with individual
operators.
The resolution was amended on motion
Of President Mitchell to include every
district under the jurisdiction OF the
United Mine Workers. whether anthra-
cite. hituminous or block coal regions, IN
the United States and Canada" and 1t
was said the resolution was designed a.
the time to prevent any agreement unless
il included the demands of the miners in
all sections OF the country.
1t is declared that, no matter what may
| be the disposition Of the anthracite opera
/
| more than n tentative agreement could
| be entered into, because the convention
| has declared against IL.
| 1t Is believed that this resolution was
! offered and adopted with a view 10 pre-
| venting any agreement which did not
/ stipulate increased wages and shorter
! hours for all coal miners in the turisdic
! ton of the United Mine Workers, ano
| that had the bitiminous operators agreed
| TO a scale the miners would not have
| signed IL till the same concessions has
been made 10y the anthracite operators.
| National Board Member +. s. McCul

miners will suspend work before there
will be an acceptance or any proposition

What Liquozone Is.

The virtues Of Liquozone are derived

each user. The process OF making re-
quires large apparatus. and from to IA
days time. 1t is directed by chemists
of the highest class. The object is to so
fix and combine the gases as to carry into
the system q powerful tonic-germicide.
Contact with Liquozone kills any form
of disease germ, because germs are of
vegetable origin. Yet to the body Liquo-
zone is not only harmless, but helpful
in the extreme. That is its main dis
tinction. Common germicides are poison
when taken internally. That is why
medicine has been so helpless in germ
disease. Liquozone Is exbilarating, VII
talizing, purifying; yet no disease germ
can exist in it.

The wife of leading druggist of
Des Moines tells how her brother was
changed from dyspeptic without ap-
petite to a prodigious eater.
"My brother, who is a lawyer in
Chicago, came to visit me and /
hardly knew him on his arrival he
was was so thin and run down. had
not seen him for years and was much
alarmed at his appearance. He told
me not to worry as he had been in
this condition for years as a result of
chronic dyspepsia. | asked him what
he had done for it, and he said he
had done yerything-taken every
remedy he had ever heard of and con
suited doctors without number, none
of them helped him. | asked him If
he ever took Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, and he said he hadn't and what
was more he wouldn't. He had sworn
off taking medicine of any kind
81 had my husband bring home a
box from the store and / actually
made him take one or two of the tab
let's after he had eaten. They made
him feel so much better that he offer
ed no further objection. He had not
taken the one box before he was
greatly improved and three or four
boxes cured him of dyspepsia and
gave him a wonderful appetite. He
came near eating US out of house and
home. My, but it did me good to see
him eat. He gained Is pounds be-
fore he returned home. and he writes
me that he has not been troubled
with dyspepsia since"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actual
ly do the work assigned to them.
They relieve weak and overburdened
stomachs of their work of digestive
fluids and secretions of the stomach
and they simply take up the grind
and carry on the work Just the same
as a good, strong, healthy stomach
would do it.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly naturai hi their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural OF violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the sustenanee and
maintenance OF the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by thus
relieving the stomach of its work,
enable 1t to recuperate and regain its
normal health and strength. Nature
repairs the worn and wasted tissues
Just as she heals and knits the bone
of a broken limb, which is OF course
not used during the process of re-
pair.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents "a
box. One box will frequently effect a
perfect cure.
