NJ CHAN SAFE
ROBBERY WAS
A BOLD ONE
BURGLAR USED HEAVY MALLET
AND AUGUR BIT FOR TOOLS
AND LITERALLY SMASHED HIS
WAY INTO BIG sAFE-FIFTH
TIME MGHAN HAS BEEN
ROBBED IN TWELVE MONTHS.

According to the statement of Geo.
McGhan, ST.. OF the firm of McGhan &
Sons, the burglary of the safe in his
Office Monday night was the fifth
burglary perpetrated upon him within
the past twelve months, and in neither
instance has the guilty party been ap-
pretended.
Monday nights burglary was one of
the boldest that has ever occurred in
this city, the big safe having been
broken into with an augur bit and a
big mallet. The job was, without a
doubt, pulled off by an amateur in the
safe robbing business, and the burglar
must have made a lot of noise. The
big door to the safe was not locked,
that Is, the combination was not
turned, but the inner steel door was
locked and this was broken clear out,
while the steel money drawer was
broken open and something over $50
secured therefrom. The tools, parts of
the safe and checks were found scat
tered all over the floor the next morn
ing.
A window was found open IN the
rear of the building, through which
the burglar is supposed to have en-
tered. Mr.. McGhan is Of the opinion
that someone, presumably a negro, who
is familiar with the building and the
office, committed the burglary. He is
almost sure that 1t was some party
who knew the outer door OF the safe
was not locked, as he would not have
been apt to &ttempt to get through this
door with the kind of tools he had.
The robbery was reported to the
police as soon as 1t was discovered and
detectives went and made an exami-
nation of the premises and surround
ings, but up to yesterday afternoon no
arrests had been made in connection
with the case.
Mr.. McGl.an estimates the damage
done to the safe door at about $40 or
SIS, besides the money secured. None
were taken.

A Home Recipe For
Removing Wrinkles
(From woman's National Journa)

(From Woman's National JournaD
Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at a disadvantage
In numerous ways by wearing wrinkles
II she can avoid these hateful marks
of advancing age?
Few women, however. know what to
do to effectually rid themselves of
wrinkles or sagginess. None of the
advertised preparations is satisfactory
and most Of them are very expensive.
But a very simple and harmless home
remedy, which any woman can make,
will work wonders where all the pat
ent preparations fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxolite
at any drug store. Dissolve the whole
ounce in a half pint of witch hazel
and use 1t as wash lotion. The re-
suits are practically instantaneous.
