her to go, saying he would shoot her
II she didn't, being in the Lenox hotel
at the time. They did not meet by
appointment. She had started for her
aunts. Attorney Goodhart became
mixed in his description of New Ha
ven streets and admitted that the girl
had answered correctly and that he
was wrong. She stated that she did
not tell her parents or any of the fam
ily Of her leaving. She denied meeting
McNulty with the idea of going to a
New Haven house of Ill repute.
There arose a question about streets
in New Haven again, during which
there were objections and many rul-
ings by the court were REQUIRED. At
torney Goodhart, and Attorney Alling,
assistant prosecuting attorney of New
Haven county. who is assisting States
Attorney Hull. had an argument over
Little Orange street in New Haven,
and Attorney Hull objected to Attornes

The conflict between attorneys grew
warm at this point, as Attorney Good
hart continued to ask about the times
the girl and McNulty had met. Attor-
ney Hull objected to his brother at
torney snarling at the girl, whereupon
Mr.. Goodhart told the states attorney
to drop his dramatics and everything
would be all right. Because of the

which caused the judge to reprimand

The girl said she did not know where
the Oneco hotel or Tom Sullivan's sa-

Objection was made by the states
attorney to the leering manner of At

The court said the expressions of the
attorneys face and his attitudes were
offensive. He then became less agrees

Miss Burns said she did not try to
see policemen after being threatened
by McNulty.y McNulty had the tick
cts in his possession. She said she
first told her trouble to her mother
after returning to New Haven. His

If the food you ate at your last
meal did not digest, but laid for a

then you have Indigestion and quick
action should be taken.
OF course there are many other
symptoms of Indigestion, such as
belching UP of sour food, heartburn,
dizziness, shortness Of breath and
foul breath, and II you have any Of
them, your stomach is out of order
and should be corrected.
Mi-o-na Tablets have cured thou

stomach trouble. If you have any
stomach distress, Mona will relieve
instantly.
But Mi-o-na unlike most so-called
dyspepsia remedies, does more than
relieve; it permanently cures dyspep-
STA or any stomach trouble by putting
energy and strength into the walls Of
the stomach, where the gastric juices
are produced.

RHEUMATISM is NOT
INcURABLE DISEASE
Says 1t Is Symptom of Feeble In
active Kidneys.

Recent hospital reports show that
the dread disease, rheumatism, is
steadily increasing throughout the
country. All known means of relief
are being suggested to save the great
amount Of suffering this winter, es-
pecially among those who are not IN
position to pack up and visit the
noted health resorts to be treated,
Recent tests prove rheumatism not
exactly a disease in itself, but a severe
symptom of kidney trouble, a condi-
ton caused by clogged up pores of the
eliminative tissues of the kidneys
which fail to filter the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid from the blood
permitting these substances to remain
in the veins and decompose, usually
settling about the joints and muscles
causing the intense pain, swelling and
stiffness of rheumatism.
The following simple home treat
ment will cure Rheumatism and is
harmless and inexpensive, and so
simple that anybody can mix 1t al
home.
The ingredients are: Fluid Extract
Dandelior, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsa parilla, three ounces. Go to any
good prescription pharmacy and get
these three harmless ingredients and
mix them by shaking in bottle. TAX
