Montevideo, Mimi, August 10
While driving along the east side of
the farm of Lawrence Erickson,
about five miles east of MontevideO,
two daughters of Hans Peder Peter
son saw the body of woman lying
in the edge of Erickson's corn field.
Frightened, they hurried to a farm
house and telephoned for a doctor.
After securing help they returned to
the scene and found the woman was
dead.
The authorities were notified and
the coroner accompanied by a large
number of men, went to the corn
field.
Woman's Skull Crushed.
The woman's skull was crushed
with a round rock weighing about
two or three pounds. The rock was
found nearby covered with blood
and on it the print of mans
hand
1t is evident there had been a
struggle and that after the crime
was committed the murderer had
dragged the body into the corn field.
The tracks of mans shoe were
found in and around the field.
The woman had auburn hair and
was plainly dressed. She wore a
calico dress. slippers and dark
felt hat. On her left hand was a
wedding ring. Her face is so badly
battered it is impossible to tell her
age.
Was Alive on Saturday.
1t is reported that such woman
was seen on Saturday accompanied
by little girl driving gray horse
in that neighborhood. On Sunday
afternoon gray horse hitched to a
buggy and without a driver came
to the home of Lawrence Erickson.
A futile search Of the corn field
was made in hope of finding some
clue as to the murderer or the
whereabouts of the little girl.
This is the first murder to occur
in Chippewa county.
The body was brought to Monte
video and an inquest will be held
late today. The authorities are at a
loss for clue to the murderer or
a cause for the crime
The woman is a stranger and as
yet the authorities have not received
any inquiries for a missing woman.

BOB JONES BREACHES
 ION EARTH, PEACE"
Jesus Is Solution for All Kinds of Personal and Family Diff
 ficulties"

Crowds continue to attend the revival services at the First Methodist church The music. led by Mir. Maxim, was aug mented by a large chorus last night. Mrs A. D. Smith and Miss Annie May Maggie Logan at the organ MT. Maxim sang a sweet gospel solo just before the sermon.
 The Rev. Bob Jones took as his text, "On Earth, Peace.'
 ''We hear a great deal of universal peace.' There is only one way to have universal peace, and that is when the world is brought into harmony with God,
 First, we may have peace among our selves as Christians. When we get on the Pikes Peak of Christian experience We see beyond our sectarian lines. I like the spirit of Christian unity that is sweep ing over this country. Jesus is the so- lution for the family difficulties of this country. God pity the mother and father who have no influence over the religious life of their children. Jesus bridges the chasm between parents and children, and between husband and wife, and between man and man. There is something wrong with the person who is always looking for slight. There are some people in the world who can't get along without a grudge.
 "The love of God and hatred can't stay in the same heart
 Second, Jesus came to bring peace by reconciling us to God. He that calmed the stormy waves of Galilee can drive back the stormy clouds of every heart. He aoes not want youito carry that troubled and stormy heart. He Is ready to give you peace instead Two painters put on canvass their idea of peace. One was q quiet stagnant lake, the other was a waterfall with tree bearing mother bird in it's branches, singing in tranquili- ty above the roar of the falls beneath. This is the true picture of the life filled with the peace of God"
 Services during the week will be held at 10 o'clock in tile morning and 7;45 at night. This morning the Rev Bob Jones will give a reading on "The Atonement |" Loop cars will pass around Sixth avenue by the church throughout the week at the hours of service. The church Is kept cool by air forced in by the ventilating sys- tenn.

Attention of lmpotent Men
 Directed to This Notice

The impotent man, the man with i'm paired vital sexual power, is cut off from the full vigorous pleasure and usefulness of life.
 The per cent of men who are sexual ly weak and to degree, if not entirely impotent, is appallingly large. The man thus impaired, robust and strong though he apparently is, is sexual weakling. The vital force of man. hood is dormant He is cut off from the natural usefulness and pleasure which are every mans birthright.
 The impression prevails, and has rather been encouraged for years, that impotency cannot be cured Dozens of other human afflictions were for years likewise declared incurable, but mod ern medical skill has narrowed the in- curable ills to a small margin-a thought for the man who has given up hope.

DEBARDELEBEN MANSION IS
 CONVERTED INTO BOYS CLUB

The historic DeBardeleben mansion on Avenue c and Fifteenth street has been secured by the management of the Boys Club and Children's Aid society as a boys club room, detention home and headquarters for the juvenile court.
 The property belongs to the DeBar- deleben estate and lease for one year with an option of three years has been secured by the executive committee of the Boys club Walker Percy who is administrator for the estate, and the executive committee of the Boys club, will sign the papers this morn ing.
 The property is ideal for the pur- pose for which it has been leased. It occupies full block and gives ample room for pIaygrounds and other fea- lures necessary for such an institu- ton.
 The house itself is large and roomy, and when first built was considered one of the most palatial residences in the Birming gham district It is three stories high and can be readily arranged to meet all the requirements of the club.
 The first floor will be used as the office of the club, reading rooms and court room. The second floor will be used as a dormitory. The third floor will be equipped and fitted out as a gymnasium.
 The extensive grounds will be di- vided into basketball grounds, tennis courts. baseball and other out door sports. There is ample room for an cur door gymnasium which will. be built in the near future. Another fea- ture is that the servants quarters at the rear of the property can be used as place of detention for the young ne- groes who are brought before the court.
 Ralph s. Barrow of the Boys club and Judge Samuel D. Murphy have had

and are installing new ideas in the orig inal plans of the fair that will add 10 it's attractiyeness.
 These gentlemen are determined that the fair will be ready and complete in all its details on the opening day, and are working hard to attain that end. Every effort is being made to bring the fair to a higher measure of perfection than ever before
 The grounds have never looked as att tractive as they do, even at this early stage and when the buildings are fur ther beautfied and adorned by the lavish display of bunting, flags and other dec orations in the hands of P. A. OCon- nor, official decorator, they will present a gala appearance far in advance of any previous effort.
 A programme of many races will greet the large throng of horse lovers that is expected to be present each day of the fair, and several strings of horses are n the stables preparatory to the opening of the races. The mile track at the grounds is generally acknowledged as one of the fastest in the south, and from the noted race horses already entered the races promise to furnish excellent sport.
 The motorcycle races will prove of es- pecial interest from the fact that our Bob Stubbs" will make an effort during the progress of the fair to establish new records in the several classes of motor cycle racing.
 Possibly the most interesting feature of the fair will be the aviation exhibitions, and when 1t Is recalled that two of the most famous and daring 'manbirds, Beachey and Hamilton, have been en- gagged by the fair management to give

To all who are sexually weak l want to tell you earnestly, candidly, that l cure impotency and all sexual weak ness. So long as there is vital spark, so long as the little nerve cells live, l can restore the lost functional activity of the generative organs-build you into a sexually strong, vigorous man.
 The young man of 20 weakened by excesses or the old man blasted by years, are likewise treated successful ly. With my methods I detect life in the nerve cells long after you had na- turally enough concluded they were cold and dead. When the spark of life is there response to my treatment is as certain as any physical law-cer- tain as development of the black smith $ arm muscles as he hammers at the anvil.
 If you are sexually weak or i'm potent come talk your troubles over with me. Your case must be diag- nosed in my office.

A Wholesome Food

It is seldom necessary in these days to say anything about the healthful- ness of Cotton Seed Oil and It's va rious edible compounds.
 The article has won international recognition as one of the most nu- tritious palatable and economical additions to the worlds food supply.
 Over two million barrels of Cotton oil are annually consumed in this country, chiefly in the form of com pounds used as substitutes for lard and cooking butter. Another million barrels Is eagerly bought by Euro peans, for use as salad and table oil-- either alone or mixed with Olive Oil-- and particularly for making butter substitutes, of which 1t constitutes about twenty-five per cent.
 The governments of the leading European countries are just as so- llcitous for the health of their people as ours Is, and of the latter we surely have abundant evidence
 To sell or ship in interstate of for eign commerce any Cotton Seed Oil for edible purposes that contains any thing deleterious, to health, or that Is not In every respect pure and whole some, Is violation of the Federal Food and Drugs Act, and practically all the edible compounds in which Cotton Seed oil Is an ingredient are made and packed under the direct su- pervision of inspectors appointed by the general government under the Meat Inspection Law.
 A consideration of these circum- stances, and the further fact that the edibility and hygienic nature of Cot ton Seed oil have been exhaustively studied and impregnably established by the foremost chemists and physiol- ogists--State and National--proves con- clusively that Cotton Seed oil products are pure, wholesome, nutritious and Lealthful

Absorption Process
 Makes Faces Young
fErom The Home Maker)

Success has a0 last come to scien- lists who for years have sought some effectual method of removing the outer facial skin in cases of, unsightly complexions, which would be both painless and entirely non-fnjurious. The new process is so simple, the means so ordinary so inexpensive, the wonder is that no one had discovered the same long ago.
 It has been amply demonstrated that common mercolized wax, to be had at any drug store. completely removes. by gentle absorption, all the withered, lifeless cuticle, showing the youthful. roselike skin underneath. The mer- colized wax is applied at nfght-like cold cream but not rubbed inland washed off in the morning. The ab- sorption also cleanses clogged pores, increasing the skins breathing capa- city and capillary circulation, preserv- ing the tone, color and natural beauty of the new skin.
