ON the face of # there was nothing
unusual in the foregoing lookout which
was sent TO every precinct in the city
this morning by Detectives Weldon and
BurlinGame. Similar alarms are sent
cut from the Central Office almost every
hour of the day.
The remarkable thing about il was a
sort Of a postscript which was about as
follows.
'She may be wearing blond wig with
a row Of puffs in back"
Frank Huston, in charge Of the teIe-
phone bureau, glanced casually at the
message the operator gave him to
lie read the message through.
Wait a minute" said Huston as he
read the message again. Just to make
sure that his eyes had not deceive5 him
he repeated the operation.
Whoever heard of a negress wear
ing a blond wig he grUnted. Some
bOdy's kidding"
Detective Weldon finally assured him
that there was nothing wrong with the
lookout. and in a few minutes the
numerous arms of the law were reach
ing out for very black woman with
a blond wig.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should BE "a Warning to
Every Man n Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour
nails have had much to say relative 10
| a famous m~illionaire's offer of a mil
lion dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was too
| busy to worry about the condition OF
| his stomach. He allowed his dyspep-
| STA to run from bad to worse until in
the end it became incurable. His
misfortune should serve az a warning
to others. Every one who suffers
with dyspepsia for u few years will
give everything he own for a new
stomach.
Dyspepsia il caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is
one element missine-Pepsin. The alb
sence of this destroys the function OF
the gastric fluids. They lose their
power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the pep
sin In a form almost identical to that
naturally created by the system when
in normal health. so that IL restores
to the gastric juices their digestive
power, and thus makes h stomach
strong and well.
We want Every n troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia to come to
our store ana oDtaln a bpN OF fSeNhll
Dyspepsia Tablets. They contain Bis
muth-Subnitrate and Pepsiu prepared
by a process which develops their
greatest power to overcome digestive
disturbance.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are very
pleasant TO take. They soothe the
irritable. weak stomach. strengthen
and invigoratc the digestive or
