Especial to the Evening Star

MOUNT HOLLY, Dec. 9.-The trial
of Joseph Hoover, of B%ordentown, for
the murder of Edward Ford on August
rs, was interrupted this morning by
Claude Palmer, counsel for the pris-
oner, who made application to Judge
voorhees, for the appointment OF a
commission to inquire into the present
mental state of the defendant.
Being unwilling to act in that
capacity himself, Judge Voorhees, or
dered Sheriff Worrell to draw a panel
of twelve citizens, who should listen to
the evidence presented by physicians
who a examined Hoover
1t is admitted by the prosecutor that
Hoover is insane. The outcome of the
case will probably be Hoover's commit
ment to the asylum for criminal insane
at Trenton, where he will remain until
pronounced cured. He will then be re-
turned to Burlington county and tried

HOW IS FOUR STOMACH?
Easy Way to Strengthen 1t and Get

A good digestive system. one that acts so that you do not know that you have a stomach, is Gods birthright to every man-to every woman.
 If digestion is weak, if food turns into gas. if you suffer after eating, if you are sleepless. nervous and out of sorts-then the stomach is diseased and prompt action should be taken.
 w. A. Ennis, a well known builder in Syracuse, tells an easy way to strengthen the stomach and get we'll when he writes: "Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets have done more for me in one week than all the doctors the two years l was under their care. Thanks to Mi-o-na, l can work once more, the first time in over a year"
