Good God! Do you really think that

in horror
The detective nodded
what else can we suppose? If he
had anything TO do with her vanishing

still alive. We know that he sought
her life. The fact that he sent her those

and l think this one is more practical"
said Clayton. I'VE have good reason
for assuming that this fellow lives up
town"
Why should we assume that?'
Because he purchased those candies
on the upper West Side and mailed
them from postoffce in the same
neighborhood."
Well, that doesn't show that he lives
up there" argued the detective. HE
may have happened to be in that
neighborhood. a, the time"
res; but he also bought his gloves
up there, some time before. That adds
to the probability of his residing up
there. OF course it isn't by any means
positive clue, but it is at least worth
investigating"
yes. I suppose it is" the detective
agreed. I'm afraid that we shan't
succeed, though. The upper West Side
is pretty big territory 1t would take
some time to conduct a .louse-to-house
search of the entire dis 'rict-and with
the meager information we've got
don't see how else we c ,uld go about
it,

Yes replied the detective. I've

HORSEMEN SEEKING
A PLACE TO SPEED
P. V. DeGraw Writes for Lifting of
Limit in Parts of Potomac
Park.

?. V. DeGraw, Fourth Assistant Post
master General, and the owner Of sew
eral trotters, wants the speed limit re-
moved from that portion OF Potomac
Park originally intended for speeding.
In a letter to Col. Spencer Cosby,
superintendent Of public buildings and
grounds, he points out the desire Of all
local horsemen TO have a place where
they can drive their blooded equines
at top speed without police interior
ence.
Mr. DeGraw, as president Of the
Road Drivers and Riders Association
Of the District, has done much to pro-
mote the sport of riding and driving
among Washington horsemen.
He refers Colonel Cosby to the fact
that the association of which he is
president contributed $500 and its vice
president, Charles McDermott con-
tributed almost twice that sum in pro-
Vldtng teams, and workmen to complete
the work done on the Speedway

sore on the body will remain
open. No amounfof dressing,
cleansing or diSinfecting the
ulcer with saves, lotions,
plaSterS, ETC., will ever pro
duce a cure, because they do
not reach the blood.
The proper way, and the
only way, TO cure an old sore
or ulcer, is to remove the
source on which it feeds; in
other words cleanse the blood
and the place MUST heal.

ents Of which S. S. S. is COM

Dangers of the Grip

An attack of grip seldom results
fatally, but it is the indirect cause OF
many deaths. Ii 1T does not result
in pneumonia, which ia frequently

cough which fingers on long after
every other symptom of the disease
has vanished. The system Is thus
left in a weakened cOndit 10 II

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
fOUlinued from 2nd pHgr)

that a child may fairly enjoy the
creeping period and bring as little
annoyance as possible to his hard
worked mother, he should be cloth
Ell with an eye to the nature of his
activities. The best creeping 10TH
es are probably the dark colored
overalls. Make the trousers very
full and baggy, and drawn in at the
knee with an elastic hand-much
like Turkish trousers. Dark blue
German calico, which is heavier
than the American calico, is the
best material of which to make
them. Cut the goods in two pieces
after any ordinary trousers pattern
for child, only twice as wide, or
even wider, stitch up at the seams
and hem with an inch wide hem
around the waist and knees. A
narrow, flat silk elastic is then run
into these hens. Silk elastic is pre-
Fcrled to cotton, as it is more flexible
and does not bind the legs and waist
so tightly. Draw this little garment
right on over the baby's skirt. The
waist elastic holds it securely in
position. The creepers can be
bought ready made, but they are so
easily made at home that the moth
er who believes in saving the nickels
can easily do so, in this case. A
bib may be added to the front of
the trousers, and will help to hold
thc garment securely in place, but
1t Is not Necessary.
At the creeping period the little
legs are 50 constantly kept in con-
tact with the floor that they should
be espccialaIly warmly clothed,
with WOODEN stockings and little
under drawers, the seat of which
should be cut out. These little
drawers may be kept in place by
pinning to the undershirt with
safetyplns. The trousers should
be made plenty long, with a gener-
Gus bagging, and the stockings will
be protected at the knees. Nothing
pays the mother letter than to look
after the comfort Of the baby at
this period, and his clothing should
be adapted to the changing weather
Of the season, for the baby must I've
kept warm. If the undershirt is
not made of wooden, there should
be loose band of flannel around
the baby's bowels to protect from
sudden chills.
