GRAND JURY is UNANIMOUS
Date OF Accused Minister'S Trial
Tentatively Set for Early

Boston October 3i.-Rev. Clarence
V. T. Richeson. pastor OF Emmanuel
Baptist Church, Cambridge, was in
dicted on five counts, charging murder
in the first degree, by the suffolk county
grand jury late this afternoon for the
alleged poisoning OH October II of
his former sweetheart, Miss Avis Lin

ported it's finding to Judge George 4.

Court after hearing more than thirty
witnesses during four days considera-
ton of the case 1t is understood that
the Jurors were unanimous in ordering
the indictment.
BY the returning of this true bill

the Municipal court Is obviated. In
connection with this latter proceed

the lower court to-day, but tee case
was continued formally without action.

hung loosely about him. as if he had
lost weight. But the raven black
hair was combed in the same neat
way which assisted in giving Mr.. Rich

remarked prior to his arrest.
The indictment. which Is said to be
almost unique in the annals of Massa-
chusetts homicldes in which poisoning
has figured. is of the so-called "blan-
ket' type. The five counts being so
worded as to permit the introduction
of evidence by the government as to
any of several methods by which the
poison may have been conveyed to the
dead girl.
AS worded. the indictment indicates
that the government as yet is without
knowledge of what means were en-
ployed to hand the poison to Miss Lin
nell. and is uncertain also as to the
exact form in which the poison was
taken.

An Awful Toll Collected by consump-

If people could only understand that
systematic catarrh is an internal dis
ease that external applications cannot
cure, they would not need to be warn
ed so often about this malady. which.
when neglected. paves the way often
times for consumption. at the cost of
millions of lives every year Yet ca
tarrh may be cured. If the right treat
ment is employed.
The only way to successfully treat
ratarrh is by employing medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system. so
that the mucous membrane or internal
lining of the body is toned up and
made capable of resisting the infec-
ton of consumption and other diseases.
We have II remedy prepared from
the prescription of physician who
for thirty years studied and made ca
tarrh a speciality. and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so posi-
tive that il will completely overcome
ratarrh in all its various forms
whether acute or chronic. that we
promise to return every penny paid us
for the medicine in every case where
it fails or for any reason does not sat
isfy the user
We want you to try Rexall Mucu'
Tone on our recommendation and guar

The famous hymn beginning GOD
moves in a mysterious way" known
as "Cowper's Hymn" had its ori-
gin as follows: Cowper was all his
life the victim Of melancholia ana
more than once attempted suicide.
One day, bent upon destroying himself,
he got into a cab and ordered the
driver to take him to a certain point
on the river where he intended to
drown himself. The cabman. noticing
his strange appearance and feeling
that all might not be right with him,
drove him about the city and finally
stopped in front of the poets door.
Stepping out and recognizing the old
familiar surroundings and shocked at
the thought of his narrow escape
Cowper exclaimed, God moves in
mysterious way his wonders to per-

Washing Your Hands.

When you go to the washstand and

your hands are clean. The tenacious

clings to the flesh throughout the
whole operation. There are some chem

the busy bacilli to certain extent.
but not entirely. According to the in
vestigations of a medical authority of
the Prussian army, the best results in
the direction of giving the hands
sanitary cleaning are accomplished by
the use of alcohol A bath of pure
alcohol will remove about 80 per cent
of the germs. Where it is desired to
clean the hands hygienically 1t is rec
commended that the hands be not first
washed with water. for this will so
adulterate the alcohol that 1t cannot
accomplish its work as effectively as

The Man With a Cold.

The sympathy given to the man with
a hard cold is purely perfunctory.
We know, or at least we think we
know, that he will not die. We know
that he is thoroughly wretched, yet
we are equally certain that in three
days or so he will be coming upstairs
two at time. This does not comfort
him, though he may know it himself.
He therefore feels himself an outcast
a pariah. He is cut off from the
ordinary human relations. If he sc
much as kisses his wife or child he
is a blackguard, mentally self convict
ed of it. Nobody loves him. and he
may go out into the kitchen and drini
