A falling tiny nerve-no larger
than the finest silken thread-takes
from the heart its impulse, its power,
its regularity. The stomach also
has its hidden, or inside nerve. 1t
was DR.. Shoop who first told us it
was wrong to drug a weak or fail
ing Stomach, Heart or Kidneys.
His prescription-Dr. Shops Re-
storative-is directed straight for the
cause of these ailments-these weak
and faltering nerves. This, no doubt
clearly explains why the Restorative
has of late grown SO rapidly in pop
ularity. Druggists say that those
who test the Restorative even for a
few days soon become fully convinc-
ed of its wonderful merit. Anyway,

CONSUMPTION OF BEER
 SHOWS AN INCREASE

Washington, Dec. 29-That the beer brewers of the country are recover ing from the slump in the consump- tion of that beverage, which character ,zed the fiscal year ended June 50, 1909. when the internal revenue re- ceipts fell off nearly $2.50O,OOO, Is shown by the November Treasury statement. giving such returns from all sources.
 During November the taxes on beer increased $606,947 over November 1908, which means that just so many more barrels were taken from the brew eries for ultimate use.
 For the first five months of the cur rent fiscal year the increase in beer tax receipts over the corresponding period of the fiscal year 1908 amounted to s777,65S, the summer months of the current year showing an Increase, while in September and october there was a falling off.
 Internal revenue bureau officials say an increase in consumption of beer is an indication of prosperity as. being a poor mans drink, its use reflects the trend of industrial conditions.
 The interesting fact also Is brought out that the retail liquor dealers spe- cial tax for the first i've months of the current fiscal. year. shows decrease of s2S2, ,779, as compared with the corres- bonding period of the previous year, which the officials say is due to the wave of prohibition which has swept over various portions of the United States.

SHOOTS A GIRL ! DEAD IN HOTEL Tragedy Occurs in Dining 1 Room.
 HAD PLANNED THE DEED Roy Mckinney Wrote Letters Be | fore His Crime.
 Indianapolis Man Was Married, But Loved Young Woman Who served As waiter I. Pers-Had Been | Robber.

Peru. Ind, Dec. 2e--Roy Mckinney, who at noon today shot and killed Miss Dora Chappell. aged 2f. in the dining room of the Bearss Hotel in this city and then ended his own life with the same weapon, was wanted in Indianapolis for a daring hold-up in the business section of that city, if developed late today.
 According to advices from India napoIis. Mckinney entered a lunch room there at 1 o'clock yesterday morning and commanding the lone man in charge to hold up his hands. rffled the cash register with one hand. while he covered the man behind the counter with revolver.
 Letters found in the dead mans pockets indicate that his deed today was carefully planned and from the fact that these letters are dated December 2., 1t is probable that the hoid-up early yesterday morning was part of McKinney's plan.
 The letters were addressed to the coroner. the girls father, Frank Chap peli. sign painter of this city and to McKinney's wife at East Germantown. Ind. In the letter to the coroner Me- Kinney first directed that his body be sent to . medical coilese and then added:
 T left my first wife because she was not true to me. left my second wife last March. On March IS, 1909. met Dora Chappell and went with her two months. at the end of which time found that she was the only girl for me. could not leave the girl I loved.
 Several days ago the girls father went to Indianapolis and caused me much trouble. and brought Dora to Peru. It was impossible for me to forget her. so came to Peru. ask ed her to go to the theatre with me, but she had other arrangements. could not sleep and God only knows life has been hell.
 May God help Dora and take pity ron me. Before I close hope that everybody will take a puffch at me be- fore pass over the areat Divide"
 In the letter to his wife. Mckinney said:
 T only wish you were with me so could take you with us too"
 The letter to the girls father cen- sured him for preventing McKinney's marrying the girl.
 Mckinney came to the hotel yester- day afternoon and registered as L. R. Lenhart. of Chicago He posed as a United States marshal ana dlsplayed secret service badge. It is not known where he obtained the, badge. as he has not been in the government ser vice.
 The woman. who was aswaitress fin the hotel. bent over Mckinley to take his order for dimes, as 1t appeared to the other waitresses in the room. Mo- Kiniey put his arm around her as if in jocular affection, and drew her close to him.
 Suddenly with his other hand he drew revolver from his pocket and shot the woman In the left breast. Then he let her dead body slip to the floor. As Sumner Hart. son of the proprietor of the hotel, ran Into the room, Mckinley shot himself in the heart and fell from his chair still clinging to the revolver.
 The waitresses ran from the build ing in a panic. There were no other guests In the dining room at the time of the shooting.

ELIOT TO EDUCATORS
HARVARD MAN ADDRESSES CHAR-
 LOTTE CONFERENCE.
He Refutes the suggestion That Americans Are Too Materiaitstfc and Defends the Denomina- tional Colleges.

Charlotte. N C., Dec. 29-The fea- ture of the second days session of the Southern Educational Association's s annual convention was the address this afternoon of pr. Charles w. Eliot. president emeritus of Harvard Col iege.
 The distinguished educator. after reviewing the religious history of Harvard, took occasion to defend de- nominationai colleges, and to refute the idea that Americans are becoming materiafistic in their views.
 A year and half ago." he said i've established In Harvard graduate school of business administration. This department has enlisted to high de- gree the sympathy and support of ths leaders of S,aess in the Eastern pari of fhis core And so we have e,x- periencsd ho~hfficuity In securing the services of business men to speak. eacf one explaining the clements of suc- cess in business. as he knows them. as banker. q merchant. or manufas- 2 turer. The reason this was done lies In the fact that the governors Of the university had become convinced that business had become a highly intel lectual calling. It is indeed. I do not, of course. mean that a high degree ol education is necessary to run the cor. ner grocery But I do mean that we need a highly intelligent man 10 or. ganize and conduct great business, to whatever subject 1t may relate.
 Tt means. too. that In the last ten or shall I say, the last i've years, bus mess men have come into q new VIC W of business itself We used to near the question frequently asked: Have not right to do what will with mine own?' This question is now an- swered universally. no. not so. The leaders of business recognize today that their possessions are the result of social influences and that duty of service to their fellow men as broad as possible faces them. So we find the business man himself taking the hu- manitarlan view of his business"
 Thousands braved the extreme cold to hear Dr. Eliot, while the other ses- sions of the Southern Educational As- sociation were not so largely attend ed. The conference will como to an end tomorrow night
