MAY CLEAR UP
Y. W. CA. THEFT
Miss DOWney Goes to Allen
town to LOOk at Woman
Detained There

Robbed three years ago, of a purse
containing sum of money. her gold
watch and other effects, Miss Agnes
Downey secretary Of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association accom-
panied by Postoffce Inspector Plum
mer went to Allentown. Pa. today to
learn whether Florence Chamberlain,
who is under arrest in that city, is
the same young woman who had a
room at the Y. W. C. A. Building here.
The young woman. who claimed to
be a detective, was arrested in Allen
town, charged with having feecad
Sergeant Harry Sterner, of that place,
out of S25.
Reading of the case in the news
papers Chief of Police Black, who
had "A record of the theft committed
al the Y. W. c. A. Building, recognized
the name and he Immediately notified
the authorities at Allentown to hold
the woman until. he could see her.
The United States authorities came
into the case through the fact that
there was mailed FIVE months after
the theft TO a Florence Chamberlain,
from this city, a package. II con-
tanned a New York address. but there
was a forwarding order there to send
it to a certain hotel in Boston. The
person to whom the package was
addressed was not there and finally
the package found its way to the dead
letter Office at Washington. Several
months ago the local PostOffice au-
thorities learned that the package
contained effects which are believed
to be Miss Downeys. Since that time
the Postohice authorities have been
working on the case.

her system has received n shock from
which it is hard TO recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results. d.
THERE'S nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of chill

conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition. women
will persist in going blindly TO the trial.
It isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they. for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
