MRS. ELvA CARRIER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in q
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. Tho first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
To women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these inn
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia

prepared mothers for childbirth, and

Melvin Conklin killed his brother,

and notice he had received that he
would have TO leave his boarding place

Wednesday night he went TO the house
about o'clock and appeared TO be un-
usually cheerful
He went TO his room early and nothing
more was heard OF him until about :
o'clock yesterday morning when William
Chapman. a lawyer who has an adjoining
room. thought that he heard a fall in
Rolman's room. As he heard nothing
more he paid no attention to the matter.
but went To sleep again.
~ o'clock Mrs. Waterhouse went TO
the room, and as she opened the door she
saw the body OF Holman lying face down
ward on the floor i'm a big pool OF blood.
She called Mr.. Chapman. and after he
had made sure that life was extinct the
police were notified
Sergt. Muldoon and Patromen McShanc
Wixon and Lyons went 10 the house and
took charge until the arrival of medi-
cal examiner.
Holman IL survived by his wife. two
sons and two daughters. one OF the
daughters is married to Arthur l.. Hart,
one OF the proprietors OF the Elm hotel on
Union street. Mr.. Hart took charge of
the body.
Mr.. Holman for many years was pro-
prietor OF the Hotel Narragansett at
Cranston street and Park avenue, oppo-
site the town hall in knightsville. IL was
one OF the most famous roadhouses
around this section OF the country. and
was patronized by all of the sporting
men. Many fights were pulled off in the
woods near there, the start being made
from the hotel.
OF these fights Holman was an enthu-
sastic supporter and II was I'm support

rapidly, it is said

occurred at the hotel was when George

head. Quick as flash, Holman reached

BELIEVES RELIEF
IS NEAR At HAND

Chicago. Nov. 29-Frank A. Vanderlip
vice president OF the National city Bank
Of New York, who is visiting his mother
here, yesterday predicted that the cur
rency situation will get back to normal
conditions. as soon as the December pay
rolls are met
interior banks are undoubtedly hoard
ing money" he said, speaking of the n
nancial situation that is they arc run
nins their reserves up 10 abnormal points.
There is an entirely adequate supply OF
currency at the present time. All that is
needed to unlock the currency situation
is mere confidence and there is evidence
OF returning OF that confidence. Some
currency is being shipped g New York
from interior points. In my opinion few
days more will end the premium on cur
rency.
There is a fair probability Of currency
legislation at the coming session OF con-
gress Sentiment on the question OF cur
rency legislation is still uncrystallized in
New York. For my part | believe the
ideal solution lies i'm the direction OF
central bank that will have the power TO
issue and take on the fiscal duties OF the
treasury department. The effectiveness Of
through the clearing houses
during the present crisis has emphasized
the important part clearing houses may
be made TO play in our financial system.
II Is possible the legislation now will
give enlarged powers 10 the treasury TO
be used IN conjunction with the clearing
houses"
