The MURDERED
WOMAN WAS IN
JAIL TWICE HERE

Was Alice X. Ellis, who was in
this city last August, and who, dur
ing her sojourn here. experienced
much trouble with the minions of
the law, Mrs. Belle Ellis, whom Il. G.
Brooks, a native of Switzerland, has
confessed TO having murdered at
Medford, is a question which the po-
lice of this city are seeking to solve
today.
According to the Medford dis
patches, Brooks, who is being held
in jail. pending an investigation as to
the truth OF his confession, walked
into the sheriff's ofice several days
ago. admitted to having kille the
woman, and assigned as his reason
the fact that she declined to give
him half dollar. He says, in his
confession. that he met her on the
Southern Pacific tracks Wednesday
morning, and that when she de-
clined to give him the money he
asked for he struck her on the head
with a hammer. After killing her
ne searched her clothing and found
$15, which he took, and then walked
to Medford. Prior to the confession
of Brooks It was presumed that the
woman had been killed by one Of the
Southern Pacific trains. Little, says
the dispatch, was known concerning
the woman at Medford, save that she
was making inquiries as to man
by the name of Fred, and that she
was ordered Off the streets by the
police, and left town.
Was in Trouble Here.
The woman who was here last Au-
gust, and gave her name as Alice r.
Ellis, came from Southern Oregon.
When arrested and searched there
was found on her person letters from
men at Drain and other Southern
Oregon cities. These facts, together
with others, lead those who were ac-
quainted with her career here, to be-
lieve that she is the same woman
who was murdered at Medford.
Alice r. Ellis was arrested here
for the first time, according to the
police records, on August IL. The
charge against her was drunkenness.

and when the wound heals a new
and different tissue grows in. This
looks different and can never be
made to just come to the old skin
level and look smooth.
! By doing the right normal things
the foolish abnormal things will be
unnecessary and cosmetic troubles
avoided.
WRINKLES.
Worry develops the wrinkled
brow and the habitual frown. These
are due to the habitual contraction
of the delicate muscles under the
skin which depict the passing emo
tons. Sustained mental states or
frequently recurring moods result
in characteristic wrinkles. One
should be proud of the good-humor-
ed crows-ieet beside the eyes on
the temple, and the smiling crease
from the mouth. BY avoiding the
frown the resulting wrinkle can be
lodged. Massage helps, but is usu-
ally of temporary use only.
The impure condition of the
blood resulting from improper feed
ing and poor digestion allows the
germs constantly present on the
skin to grow and thrive, and we
see red blotches and pimples.
DO THIS.
A simple, plain diet with the
fresh things in abundance, a regu-
lar digestion, outdoor air exercise,
hot and cold face wash at least
twice a day, regularity in habits,
and as little worry as possible-all
help to paint a good picture.
Avoid the opposites as much as
possible. Don't use the high scent
ed toilet soaps and countless face
lotions and creams too freely.
Avoid too much powder. They will
clog the pores.
