AFFAIRS IN ABYSSINIA.
Consul General Mowrer to Make Re-
port to the State Department.

Frank r. Mowrer. United States consul
general to Ads Abeba, Abyssinia, arrived
in Washington yesterday from his post in
the far east and will make-an extended re-
port to the State Department concerning his
service of several months at the Abyssinian
post
Before Mr.. Mowrer left Abyssinia 1t be-
came known that he was unable to COM
pete with the European missions to Abys-
sinia, which were headed by ministers,
while the United States saw fit to send only
a consul general to look after its interests
at the Abyssinian capital. Mr.. Mowrer was
kindly received by King Menelik, but the
situation there was not entirely satisfactory
to him. and Mr.. Mowrer has advised that q
minister be sent by the United States. 1t is
not regarded as probable, however, that
the State Department will advise the crea-
ton of a legation in Ads Abeba.

The preparation of these medi-
cines without the use of drop of
alcohol. so generally employed and
yet SO harmful, in the long run, to
most invalids when its use is long

DR.. Pierce several years of careful
study and labor, with the aid of
skilled pharmacists and chemists to
assist him. Naturally, he does not
care to give away his scientific and
exact processes for preparing these
medicines, but he. does want to deal
IN the most open manner with all his
patrons and patients, and under this
frank, open and honest way of deal
ing, they may know exactly what
they are taking when using his
medicines.
WHAT DO THEY CURE? This
question is often asked concerning
DR.. Pierce's two leading medicines,
Golden Medical Discovery" and
"Favorite Prescription"
The answer is that Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is a most potent al
terative or blood purifier, and tonic
or invlgorator, and acts especially
iavorably in a curative and healing
way upon all the mucous lining SUR
faces as of the nasal passages, throat,
bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels
and bladder, curing large per cent
OF catarrhal cases whether the dis
ease affects the nasal passages, the
throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach
(as catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels (as
mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus or
other pelvic organs. Even in the
chronic or Lucrative stages of these
affections, it is often successful in
effecting cures.
The "Favorite Prescription" is ad-
vised for the cure of one class of
diseases only-those peculiar weak
nesses, arrangements and irregular
tiles incident to women. 1t is pow
erful, yet gently acting invigorating
tonic and strengthening nervine.
For weak, WORKOUT, overworked
women-no matter what has caused
the breakdown, "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" will be found most effective in
building up the strength, regulating
the womanly functions, subduing
pain and bringing about healthy,
vigorous condition of the whole sys-
tenn.

Dramatic Feature Of Remarkable Case
at Berlin.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, March 3O.-A curious murder
trial il on the docket here. 1t is the case
Of Johann Friedrich Mueller, who is al
ready under sentence of death for the muir
der of an eleven-year-old school girl, but
who has been placed in the dock to answer
the charge of killing a woman, his land
lady, eight years ago.
The dramatic feature Of the present
charge against Mueller Is that during his
trial for killing the school girl the prosecu-
tor suddenly produced the skull Of the
landlady and asked the prisoner to place
his hand upon it and swear that he had not
murdered the woman. Mueller broke down
completely and confessed, SO 1t Is said. He
Is also suspected of another crime-the MUIR
der of a Bavarian telephone girl with whom
he had been intimate.

AXE KEPT IN IGNORANCE.
DIR. Pierce's medicines are made
wholly from the roots of plants found
growing in the depths of our Ameri-
can forests. They are so compounded
that THEY CANNOT DO HARM
IN ANY CASE, EVEN TO THE
MOST DELICATE WOMAN OR

Pierce has taken his medicines out
OF the list of secret nostrums, of
doubtful merit, and made them
REMEDIES OF KNOWN CON-
POSITION. They are, therefore, in
a class all by themselves, being abb
solutely and in every sense NON
SECRET.
BY this bold step DR.. Pierce has
shown that his formulas are of such
excellence that he is not afraid to
subject them to the fullest scrutiny.

ESTY on every bottle of DIR. Pierce's

JAILED FOR DEBT.
At One Time the Law Was Sewers on
Those Who Owed Money.

In nearly every country until COM
paratively recent times debtors have
been subject to Imprisonment. After
the Panic GO 1926 101,OO0 writs for
debt were issued in England. In 1880
1000 persons were sent to London
prisons for debt, and on Jan. /, 1910,
l,T00 persons were held for debt in
England and Wales, LOCO in Ireland
and less than 100 in Scotland. From
time to time notifications in the laws
governing the imprisonment of debtors
have been made, so that fewer debtors
are imprisoned for this crime each
year.
In 1929 there were 5000 debtors in
prison in Massachusetts, 10000 in New
York, 1000 in Pennsylvania, 5000 in
Maryland and Il like proportion in 9th
er states. Many of these persons were

who could not pay their debts was

there were 1.0S5 debtors imprisoned for
debts amounting to $4,000 The ex-
pense of keeping these persons in con
finement was $3G2,OOo, which was paid
by the city. and the amount recovered
by this method was S205.

fully enforced until 1S39.-New York
