She can be through with it in half the
time required by the old-fashioned, wash

And instead of being worn out, she is
fresh and ready for other work, or play.
Any woman can end washday drudgery

How Women Can
Keep Themselves Cheerful

Women live indoors; they exercise little.
Theyne laxatives more than men.
Their headaches, their dull days, their
blues" are generally due to the
bowels.
Such conditions are wrong because they
are unnecessary.
One Cascaret - taken just when You
need it-sets everything right.
One candy tablet ends completely most
of our minor ills.
Cascarets are so gentle, so natural, YOU
wrong yourself if you don't take
them.
They are not like salts and pill eathar-
tics, which iniure the stomach and
bowels.
They are not like any harsh physic,

TONOPAEI. New. May 6.-The fate OF
Bina F. Verrault. the fascinating young
woman who lived like a princess and
startled New York two years ago with
her scheme OF winning mems hearts
and thousands OF dollars through the
notorious Love Syndicate" of which
she was the head, has been revealed in
a strange way.
Last year a woman drifted TO this
mining Csyap as a prospector. She had
little money. but a number OF fine
gowns. which were as unsuited TO her
work as she herself seemed unsuited TO
the company OF the rough and sturdy
men who were Drawing the hardships Of
heat and desert in the quest for gold.
There were but few women in the
camp at the time, and this woman,
who called herself Mrs. Hamilton, at
tracted a great deal of attention. no
one asked where she had come from,
nor why. These questions are not
usually asked In mining camps.
Mrs. Hamilton lived well for a while
money was easy in TOnopah and miners
impreSsionable. IT was reported on sew
erai occasions that she was TO be mar
RED 10 diherent men, who made lucky
strikes, but nothing ever came Of the
reports.
Suddenly She Was Stunned.
Then the tide seemed TO change
against her She was no longer sought
by the men who had been her admirers.
The reason they kept 10 themselves.
The woman began 10 frequent the res
taurants and concert halls. She seemed
TO find her only solace in strong drink.
and IL was not long before its effect
was noticeable. She was no longer the
woman whose fine appearance had daz-
zled the camp. She was simply a Ia
miliar hgure, and not a very attractive
one.
Then she fell 81. A doctor was called
and gave her every attention but .he
call had been too long delayed. The
woman died in delirium. Her death
was so sudden that IL was deemed q
coroner's ease, and q jury was impan-
eled. The verdict was that the woman
had come 20 her death from acute al
cohOlism.
The camp decided that Mrs. Hamilton
should have decent burial An un-
derLaker was given charge OF the BODY.
and on the day Of the funeral a few
men acted as mOurners and watched
the body consigned TO the grave Then
the woman's effects were turned over

every one but the administrator.
Il was Bina +. Nerrault who died un-
known 81 mining camp. and her death
was peculiarly free or that romance
which had surrounded her life.
Head of "Love Trust"
In August. 1906. Bina Verrault was the
most prominent figure in the eye OF the
public of New York. Several men had
made startling revelations 10 the au-
thorities about the conduct OF a Love
Syndicate" and had revealed the large
and palatlally furnished house at 323
West Eighty-second street as the head
quarters OF the syndicate.
The household was a notable one. Mrs
Verrault. known as Mrs. Hs milton, and
Mrs. Izella Brown were its heads. and
they posed as wealthy. manageable
widows. Both were handsome and had
wonderful gowns. There were brothers.
sister, and a daughter OF Mrs. Brown
to add TO the attractiveneTs OF the home
and at dinners, suppers. and card par
ties they played important parts in i'm
pressing the victims. Gregory Allen, a
sculptor, acted IN the capacity OF but
Ter. and below stairs there was a cook
and several other servants.
For time the affairs of the syndicate
prospered greatly. Several men. lured on
10 answer advertisements, gave the
women large sums OF money. When no
more money was forthcoming the >suitOrs
were unceremoniously dismissed. By the
display Of money and good living the
household established a fine line OF
credit.
Women Were Arrested.
Two men who had fallen in love with
Mrs. Verrault, and who found them
! selves turned away from the door when
they would give no more money. re-
ported the swindling operations Of the
syndicate. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Yer
rault were arrested Then the house

stormed at the doors.
Mrs. Verrault failed 20 appear IN
court one day when a case against her
was called she had left town. 1t was
reported. Nothing else was ever heard
Of the woman until IL was learned that
