C0BWEBS ON HAT
LED TO MANS ARREST

DALTON, Ca, Feb. 7.-Discoverins
cobwebs on the hat of Bob Hoffman
Monday morning caused officers to go
to his home and instigate search of
his attic for articles stolen from the
home of Jim Perry Sunday night. The
search brought to light not only the
articles sought, but a large quantity
OF hose which was taken from the Dali
ton Knitting mills more than year
ago.
Sunday night the home OF Jim Perry
was burglarized and two trunks con-
tanning clothing were taken; but no
clew was discovered when the officers
went to the scene of the burglary.
Monday morning Hoffman was seen,
his hat being fairly covered with cob
webs. One of the men working on the
burglary noticed the condition of the
hat and saw that HOLMAN had been
in some place seldom used. AS he had
been working for Perry, they Immediate
ly suspected him and went to his home
and discovered mud on the walls under
a trap door. The search was made with
the above results.
hoffman is now in jail on his failure
to make bond in the sum of $500.

the real trouble is with the Heart. Any
way, you will get the truth here. You
win then know what to do.
The free course of treatment that we
send will strengthen and regulate the

In my thirty years experience in med

things. For one thing, I've learned that
Heart Disease kills more people every
day than anything else on eartn. I've
also learned that Heart Disease hardly
ever exists alone-by itself-that other
organs-Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys, Liv-
er. Lungs, Sexual organs, etc. are al
most always affected too. Why? Think
for a minute and you'll answer the
