A Stitch of Pain.

A stitch is a sharp, spasmodfc pain
In the muse les OF the side like the
piercing of q needle aud Is very apt to
be produced II exercise Is taken i'm
mediately after a hearty meal. This
arises because the nervous energy nee
essary for the proper working of the

other direction-namely, in assisting
the digestion of the food. Anything
that interferes with the proper supply
of nervous energy required for exer-
else, whether 1t be debility or the proc
ess of digestion or exhaustion arising
from overexertion. is apt to cause this
spasmodic pain.

"foul and unclean" was guilty Of a
libel. snails are most dainty feeders
and strict vegetarians, as many gar

three centuries ago snails were more
popular In England than they are now.
The fastidious author Of THE Faeris

ARNOLD HUNT
COST $4,000
Is Still Being CONVICTED De-
spite Great Expense
TUBLIC GREATLY INTERESTED


Family of Missing Woman and
Police Department Are Making
Heavy Expenditures
New York, Aug. 7.-Since the dis
appearance of Charley Ross no case OF
a missing person has had SO much at
tention as that of Dorothy Arnold.
And in the history of no missing per-
son was ever SO great an effort made
In all directions to discover what her
fate has been; nor was money ever
In any similar case SO lavishly spent.
The search that 50 far has been
futile has cost SIS, 600. 1t is still go
ing on and money is still being lavish
ly expended, although as yet there
Is no definite prospect that the hunt
will prove other than futile.
When Dorothy Arnold left her home
in Central Park West on Dec IL last
and left no word behind to explain
her disappearance and no clue to her
whereabouts although the youth and
beauty of the girl had been illustrated
by photographs of her published
broadcast in the newspapers and sent
out nearly as widely by the police, the
mysterious case took the strongest
kind of hold on the public magma
ton.
Squads of reporters, the highest
priced men on the STATS, have been
constantly employed from last De-
cember to this day and are still ex-
clusively employed In a hunt for
Dorothy Arnold. 1t Is conservative TO
declare that the newspapers have paid
out fully sac. 080 80 far in the search.
Members OF the Arnold family have
never ceased to keep up the appear
ance OF searching for the missing
daughter az eagerly and as energei-
cally as possible. They too hired prt-
vate detectives at large expense.
Aside from the thousands they have
paid TO detectives and for travel far
and wide there have been countless
kilograms exchanged and kilograms
sent out inquiring at likely places for
some report of Dorothy. The while
they have retained a firm of expens-
i've lawyers. who, for a long time,
gave up their whole daily attention to
the case. services that would surely
demand a most considerable fee. II
therefore becomes but modest state
ment of the probable fact TO say that
the family has spent at least $25, 900.
Nor does the cost OF the long quest
end here. There is the money ex-
pended by the police department of this
city. The police department spent no
less than SIC 900.
Thus the hunt for Dorothy Arnold
became a SIS 900 mystery--the most
expensive search on record, save
that, perhaps, which led to the
Greedy expeditions into the Far North
and the Stanley expedition in quest
OF Livingston.

Was A Newark Residence
Last Night
And $4,000 Worth Of
Diamonds Stolen

Newark. Ohio, June 27-.The biggest
diamond robbery ever pulled off in
Newark occurred last night when un.
known miscreanLs entered the home
of Fred King, Hudson avenue, during
the absence of the members Of the
family and escaped with jewelry val
ued at approximately $4,000
The burglars were daring in the ex-
treme, as the affair happened shortly
after supper, about 7 o'clock, and the
miscreants did not seem to be afraid
of being Interrupted IN their work,
even at this early hour The King
home Is situated in one of the swell
residence sections of the town, and the
burglars probably selected 1t because
everything was dark and nobody was
at nome.
When the members of the King fam
lily returned home about 1:30 O'Clock
they found several rooms topsy turvy.
and when Mrs. King went into her
boudo,r she discovered that the dress
er in which the diamonds were kept
had been forced open, and all of the
jewelry was gone,
The police were immediately notl.
| fled, but there is absolutely no clew
to the identity OF the burglars. The
authorities telephoned the Columbus
and GAINESVILLE police about the affair
but there doesn't seem to be much
hope of apprehending the criminals
The jewelry consisted of rings, scarf
pins, brooches, etc, and many of the
diamonds were of the purest. A mum
ber of them were family heirlooms, and
because cf this their loss will be all
the more keenly felt by the membrs
of the King family.
Although the affair happened SC
early in the evening, none of the
neighbors noticed my strangers IN the
vicinity. The plans of the burglars
were well laid, and it is doubtful il
they viii ever be apprehended.
