MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
Mrs. George Abbott of Mortified
Missing.

Mrs. Jessie Abbott went away from her
home in Mortified Tuesday morning.
April 3d. and has not returned. She told
her husband George Abbott, that she was
going to BrattleborO 90 visit a dentist. and
left her father in care Of her three chill
dren until her return, which was to be on
the 40 train. Nothing has been heard OF
her since. She did not visit the dentist
ana is not with friends or relatives so far
as can be discovered. She had been very
respondent lately, and her relatives and
friends are concerned over her absence.
The children for the present are with her
brother. Leon Pratt, and Mr.. Abbott is
doing everything possible to trace the
missing woman
The Greenfield Recorder says Of the
case. The family had no intimation Of
any intention to leave home permanently
on the mothers part and it was recalled
after she failed to return that she had
been respondent for some days The SUI
icide theory was the only one that seemed
reasonable. Then 1t was revealed that the
time of her going was nearly the same
as that Of Nell Anderson, a thrifty Swed-
ish farmer. who had sold hs'farming and
household effects at auction and rented
his farm on the Mortified Farms road
ana set out for Sweden. There had been
some talk of the friendship between Mrs
Abbott and Anderson and their leaving at
the same time was concluded to be more
than coincidence Before going Mrs
Abbott gave her wedding ring to one Of
her daughters and another ring TO a
younger one. She is about go years old
Anderson is somewhat older and is I'M
married. The Abbott children are being
cared FOR by the mothers brother Leon
Pratt, while the father is away and the
Abbott home is deserted"

It has been truthfully said that any dis
turbance of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite, or to
get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness weakness or debility.
The system needs a tonic, Graves it, and
should not be denied 1t; and the best
tonic Of which We have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this medicine
has done In keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even balance
of health, gives it the same distinction as
a preventive that it enjoys as a cure. It's
early use has illustrated the wisdom Of the
old saying that a stitch in time saves
nine. Take Hoods for appetite, strength
and endurance.
