The report on the condition Of the stomach

Hektoen said the examination Of the organs
Of the body had not been completed.
A question that may have great bearing
on the case was asked by q juryman dur
ing the afternoon. 1t was:
Gould the body absorb strychnlne that
had been injected after death9"
Yes" DR.. Hektoen replied. IF strych-
nine had been injected after death and the
body had lain for a long time, the poison
could have found it's way to other parts
Of the body through diffusion. ~Strychnlne
would have to he in solution for that and II
would spread through the tissues"
Coroner Zwart then asked DR.. Hektoen
y Il would be possible, in view Of the fact
that the body of Colonel swope had been
frozen, to nave injected s%trychnine after
death so that 1t would have been diffused
through the system, DR.. Hektoen said it
would not.
Mrs. Swope told Of the many eccentrici-
ties Of Colonel Swcpe. She said he had
thought for twenty-five years tina his
death was imminent. I'm the same as a

From French Beauty Monthly
No woman should use water upon her
hair oftener than once In two months. -
says NJ. Fourier. the noted French sci

spoonful of the mixture upon the head;
then brush the powder thoroughly through
