The turban, the new headpiece the

it covers up everything. A woman
can do her own hair in little wad as
small and tight as doorknob. then
cover it over with a turban, and she
looks as if she had SO much hair she

DR.. ). r. HULL
AT MACOMB
Says He'll be Acquitted of Monroe
Charge and Denies That He was
in Quincy with Mrs. Vaughn.

DR. j. R. Hull. graduate of the
Keokuk Medical college, who was in
dicted in Adair county, Mo, for com
plicity in the murder of Professor
Vaughn, jointly with the widow of the
deceased, was over in McDonough
county, his former home, last week.
While at Macomb he discussed the
case with a friend and declared that
at the time Professor Vaughn died he
was $50 miles from Kirksville. He
denied that he was in Quincy with
Mrs Vaughn and adds that even If
he had been the fact would not make
him guilty of murder
According to the Macomb Journal,
DR.. Hull admitted writing letters to
Mrs. Vaughn and receiving some from
her Those letters, he said, contained
not one thing that was in the least
out of the way He believed that all
told he had written her three letters,
but could not remember the exact
number. He thought, however, that
was all. and would have no hesitancy
about producing the letters, if he
could find them, nor object to his let
ters being shown.
He declares that the trouble is
mostly caused by the impulsiveness
of Mrs. Vaughn, He says she is frank,
open and impulsive, and that her ac-
lions in that manner cause comment
frequently and suspicious that, so far
as he knows, are entirely without
foundation She is not easily infiu-
enced by public opinion and does as
she pleases regardless of whether her
actions are approved by others or not.
This, he believes, has much to do with
the trouble.
He does not in the least anticipate

TONIC TREATMENT RECOMMENDED

Grow Stronger Every Day While
Taking Or. Williams Pink Pills.
AS in scarlet and typhoid fever, so in
the grip, the after-effects of the disease
are often worse than the disease itself.
The sufferer is left with a debilitated
system, is short of breath upon the
slightest exertion and is affected by
every change of weather. The system is
in such weakened condition that it is
powerless to resist the attack of such
diseases, as pneumonia and bronchitis.
This is a condition which emphatically
calls for tonic for the blood. DR.. vii
liams' Pink Pills are the best medicine
for this purpose for they act directly on
the blood which they cleanse of ali i'm
purities. They tone up the nerves and
give health and strength to the debili
tated system
That the best tonic for rundown
condition is DIR. Williams Pink Pills
has been proved i'll thousands of cases
similar to that of Miss r. G. Brickey.
of Pratt, Kansas. She says:
"Sume years ago was troubled al
most daily with chills which the doctors
said were due to malarial fever. I
would get cold and numb all over nv
body and would shake for hours without
getting relief would become SO ner-
vous that could not stand. My blood
was poor and thin. Ny complexion was
yellow and kept losing in weight until
was a mere skeleton. / was feverish a
good deal of the time and was often con-
fined to bed for day or so. These
spells lasted for about two years.

to do me any good and upon the advice of
my grandmother began taking DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills grew stronger every
day while taking the pills. The fever
subsidized and finally the chills left me
entirely / used the pills until l was
strong and entirely well. y
1t is of the utmost importance to your
health, if you have suffered from an
attack of the grip or fever, that you
cleanse the blood of the lingering germs
and put it i'll condition to resist disease.
