Orderles for children and for deli.
cate or aged persons, because they
do not contain anything injurious.
Unlike other preparations they do not
create a habit but instead they over.

use of ordinary laxatives, cathartics

WOMAN MIsER LEFT 100000
Neiehbors Thought She Was as Poor
as Themselves

Burlington ~ j. March PRO.
Tossing abiect poverty before the
world AID living mere mcdestly than
her poorest neish6ors, Miss Elizabeth
Hays, SO years old, died suddenly
last night in the midst Of a fortune
in gold and currency which for fifty
years she had been secreting about
her old farm house. The real truth
OF Miss Hays financial status was
discovered today when the heirs and
her executor, Lawyer Reginald
Branch, made a brief search of the
house.
Bed and table linen yielded ten and
twenty dollar banknotes by the score.
In an old cupboard was found several
thousand dollars in gold eagles and
double eagles. The old family Bible
yielded a twenty dollar note from
between nearly every other leaf Bed
Strings, old coffee pots. several old
purses and other receptacles were
found to contain hundreds of dollars.
A conservative estimate of the eccen.
trio old womans wealth is that she
left an estate valued at more than
100000.
Every effort was made to keep the
discovery secret but the facts leak
ed out through neighbors and we're
verified through authoritative sources
tonight Relatives say that Branch
is executor of the estate, and at his
office tonight the lawyer admitted the
discovery of the money and the fact
that the estate left by the eccentric
old woman was large.
Owing to the rumors flying through
the neighborhood of the amount Of
| gold and other currency discovered
in the house, armed guards were sta.
toned about the place tonight to keep
off curious sightseers and guard
against robbery.
A complete search of the old farm
house sadly in need of repair, will be
made early in the morning and rel
atives believe that fortune in adj
dition to the thousands of dollars
found today will be discovered.
The bills found in the Bible bear
dates of issue shortly after the civil
war Despite the fact that it con
tanned hundreds of dollars, the ole
book ,reposed on a parlor table.
