DISAPPEAR FROM
HOME ONE BY ONE
OF FAMILY OF FIVE, DAUGHTER
AND MOTHER ONLY ONES WHO
HAVE NOT VANISHED.
NO CLEW TO THE MISSING MEN
Strange Mystery oVerhangs Colorado
observation-disclosures Unable to
Account for CaIamity-No
Apparent Motive.

Loveland, Col.-Some dreadful mys
terry overhangs the Garlough family
whose three male members, one at a
time, have dropped from sight The
last one to vanish, Paul, aged "a, left
behind a 19-year-old sister, May, as
well as his mother, who is at present
visiting relatives in London, Ont,
who has been informed by her daugh-
ter by wire of the last calamity to be-
fall the family.
Without the slightest motive, the
girl declares, with a happy, ideal
home, with no woman in the case, her
father, l.. +. Garlough, prosperous
contractor and builder, dropped out of
sight over three years ago and has
not been heard from since.
Last July Ed. Garlough, aged 10,
failed to return from work one even
ing, and the family has never learned
whether he is dead or alive. And now
Paul, the sole support of the mother
and sister, has gone just as mystic
riously, just as silently, just as
strangely as his father and brother.
Miss Garlough scouts the idea that
the boys nave joined their father. She
is positive that they have never heard
from him and equally certain that
they all had no good reason for de-
sorting the family. Entirely at loss
to advance any theory for the calam-
tiles which have befallen the family,
Miss Garlough is keeping solitary
vigil in the coy cottage that was once
a happy home, confident that the
boys" and dad" will come back.
Mrs. Garlough shares her daughters
faith that somewhere, some time, her
loved ones will return. She has never
got divorce, and her stanch faith
has never wavered.
why. dad was just the best father
n girl ever had" said Miss Garlough.

She Keeps Constant Vigil for "the
/ Boys" and "Dad."

He was always so good to us, and
his whole life centered around his
home. There isn't. one thing that 1
know of that could lure him away.
And Paul and Ed. went to work
after father disappeared. We expect
ed every day to hear from him, or that
he would come walking in some day
and explain his long absence"
Near tears, but struggling bravely
with her emotions, she continued:
while we thought it very strange
that dad should just vanish into thin
air, as it were, when Ed. dropped out
OF sight the mystery grew deeper than
ever.
And now Paul is gone, leaving me
oil alone. know they didn't go oil
their own free will. There is some
thing terrible, something uncanny
about 1t all that makes me shudder,'
mud Miss Garlough hid her face in hel
hands.
Search by the officers and friends Of
the family, which came here sever
years ago from London, Ont, ha:
failed to unearth the slightest clSw tC
the missing men. and the disappear
ance OF the last man of the house ha.
capped the climax for inexplicablt
things.
During their residence here the fam
lily has made a host of friends whC
have Interested themselves in tn,
matter, but without avail.

SPEAKER cANNoN's OPINION.

An extract from letter written by
Speaker Cannon to Col. John N. Tay
lor of the Knowles, Taylor & Knowles
Pottery Company, at East Liverpool
O., was published in the Washington
Post on April 5, as follows:
81 am satisfied there will be no tar
III revision this congress, but IL
goes without saying that the desire
for a change which exists in the com
mon mind will drive the Republican
party, if continued in power, to a
tariff revision. I do not want it, but
it will come in the not distant
future"
When revision comes. it will be like
the Dingley bill-for the trusts and
not for the consumers.

Food Purity.

The National Pure Food authori-
ties at Washington are doing good
work in educating people TO demand
quality in the food they buy. The
magazines and newspapers are also
taking up the issue and emphasizing
the need for care in handling eat
abIes.
This excellent work is measurably
the result of the establishment of
the "Sealshipt' method of handling
Oysters, method and system
which was some years in advance Of
the present movement for purity in
foods.
"Sealshipt' Oysters are packed in
a galvanized steel container which is
then sealed. Ice is put around the
con tainer but no ice or water touches
the oysters. The oysters are kept
whole and perfect and their natural
flavor and color are retained, as ice
does not crush them, nor does water
bloat or bleech them, and dope is
not neeped to keep them.
You will find ''Sealshipt" Oysters
in Pure White Porcelain Case
which bears the Blue "Sealshipt y
Trade Marx. We sell "Sealshipts'
only. Frank Tetzner.

A Personal Appeal.

If we could talk to you personally
about the great merit OF Foley's
Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds
and lung trouble, you never could
be induced to experiment with un-
known preparations that may con-
tain some harmful drugs. Foley's
Honey and Tar costs you no more
and has record of forty years of
cures.
Hoarse coughs and stuffy colds
that may develop into pneumonia
over night are quickly cured by
Foley's Honey and Tar as it soothes
infamed membranes, heals the lungs
and expels the cold from the system.
