BILE for all these half-sick people who
are leading a sedentary life in our
large cities.
People in cities like New York can't
take enough exercise in the fresh air
and they will persist in hurriedly eat
ing great deal of food and only half
chewing it. The consequence is that
about half of them are nervous, thin,
pale and lacking in vitality. They
have little energy and no stamina
What they need is something to make
the gastric juices active and virile.
When this is done they begin to as
simulate their food, which affords them
the nourishment they need and the

His Sad Case.

There was no doubt that the man
who clumsily boarded a car with
twenty passengers already in it, and
sat down to lean his weight on a man
carrying home a mutton roast, was
under the influence of strong drink It
wasn't more than a minute before the
man with the mutton said so in plain
language. The language was followed
by tears from the inebriate, and when
he was criticized for them he asked:
'You member the lection last fall
don't you?'
"Of course"

"W-what was his name?''
The mutton man was stumped. So
were all the other passengers. They
wrinkled their brows and scratched
their heads but in vain. The name
could not be spoken.

he shed some more tears. I'm drunk

SHUMWAY is HANGED.
Five Times Before He Has Escaped
the Death Penalty.

Lincoln, Neb., March 5.-R. Meade
Shumway, the slayer of Mrs. Jacob
Martin, was hanged at the state PEN
itentiary, this afternoon at 1882
O'Clock Shumway throughout the
night and early today heldsto the hope
that he would escape the gaHews.<s'a
] Two weeks ago all preparations
were made for his execution, bat the
supreme court, almost at the last mo-
ment granted him q two weeks stay
action to legally test the question OF
his sanity. ~ s&
This rather slender thread of hope
was partly severely late yesterday
when District Judge Stewart of the
Lancaster county district court, de-
clared he had no jurisdiction and re-
fused to interfere. s-Shumway's at
torneys appealed to Governor Shallen-
berger for short stay. The executive
declined to interfere.
Shumway today heard his death
warrant read for the sixth time since
sentence was passed upon him, ap-
peaIs, rehearings and allegations of
error having enabled him repeatedly
to evade the. courts decree.
Shumway was convicted of the bru-
tai murder of the aged wife of Jacob
Martin, a farmer, near Adams. Neb.
On the afternoon of September 3,
1907, Martin left his home for the
polling place where precinct primaries
whom he had hired a number of days
previously to haul quantity of straw
to the barn from a neighboring field
and then to resume plowing. When
the farmer had disappeared down the
road, Shumway left the team in the
field and went to- the house where
Martins wife was alone.
He is supposed to have demanded
OF the woman, who was somewhat
feeble, that she turn over to him a
considerable sum of money known to
have been in the house.
On her refusal he attacked her with
a knife, killed her and threw her body
under a bed.
He then ransacked the house, Sc
cured the money and taking his en-
ployer's horse. started for the Kansas
line, not many miles distant.
Martin was the first to discover the
murder and the disappearance of the
hired man and he gave the alarm.
Shumway was traced to Kansas but
eluded his pursuers He was captured
however, by Sheriff McNulty of Holt
county, Missouri, several weeks later
and was brought to the penitentiary at
Lincoln. Feeling in Adams county
against him was strong.
The trial took place in Beatrice.
Shumway formerly had lived In IL
linois and has relatives in Waverly, in
that state.

enough until the coffee effect wore off

severe attacks of rheumatism began TO
appear, and ultimately the whole ner-
