BEAUTY MORE THAN SKIN DEEP
A Good Complexion Must Come
from Within.


from Within.
The natural desire of every ambi.
tious woman is to have a clear skin
and beautiful complexion.
Not every woman can be Diana or
Juno, but the beauty of freshness and
the bloom of a clear skin are within
the reach of every woman who will
make the effort.
1t is all matter of intelligent try
ing.
If the bowels are inactive, if the
liver is not working properly, if the
poisonous waste and refuse are not
expelled. promptly from the system,
complexion is sure TO show the effect.
The only right way to remove PIN
ples, moth spots and blotches and
clear up a cloudy complexion, is to 90
right to the root of the trouble with
the proper remedy.
the che remedy that will cure con-
stipation, improve the complexion
tone up the liver and insure a clear
velvety skin is SEAI ER'S LAXA.

best products of the celebration The
price that is asked for them will not
be high, SO that nearly everyone in the
city will he able to procure one. They
will be on sale at number of places.
The celebration committee believes
that the striking of appropriate med

doubtedly be sent abroad and as they
bear reproduction of statue which
IS known as widely as any piece of
American sculpture. they will attract
attention. By having the medals
made of material less costly than
gold the price will make them more
easily obtainable and few years
hence the possession of one of these
treasures will be enviable."

many residents of Orleans county. II

Grand Jury Deep In Coates
vile Outrage.
CALLS MEN IN MOB COWARDS.
Judge Instruets Jurymen to Conduct
Secret investigation and to Let Moth
ing Go Undone to Bring Guilty
Persons to Justice.

West Chester, Pa, Aug. 29.-The
cases of the alleged members of the
mob which lynched Zack Walker at
Coatesville on Aug. 13 are now before
the grand jury of Chester county,
which will hear the testimony and fix
the grade of the crimes of the eight
men arrested, holding a star chamber
session for that purpose.
In his charge after the opening of
court Judge William Butler told the
grand jury in the usual manner of its
duty and then took up the matter of
the lynching at Coatesville, which he
characterized as q disgrace upon the
town, the county, the state and the
nation.
Judge Butler asked that the jury
make a complete investigation, even
if it was required to summon every
citizen of Coatesville in the investiga-
ton, and to finally make its report to
the court without fear or favor, prom
Using all the support in the power of
the authorities.
The jury is not likely to file report
until late in the week, being engaged
in cases on the list which must be re-
ported in order to occupy the time Of
the two rooms of the court. The jury
is expected to summon before it many
witnesses in addition to those already
secured by the commonwealth officers
as the investigation proceeds.
1t is known that the district attor-
ney, Robert S. Gawthrop, and the po-
lice officers have the names of hun
dred of the men who either took an
active part or have knowledge of the
lynching, and the court is determined
that every detail must be investigated.
"It is enough" said Judge Butler,
''that the man was burned, and every
man who was present was guilty of
murder, as were all those who assisted
in the planning of the horrible effair
or were even in the mob or approved
it in any manner.
"Men who took part were more cow
ardly than wolves" said the court,
"and more devilish than fiends when
they tortured the man as they did.
They even invaded the sanctity of a
hospital to carry out their purpose,
and no words can express the feeling
of any man in his senses who does not
rebel at the thought.
"The man who planned the affair
must and will be apprehended if pos
sible by all the forces of the law, and
l ask you to investigate. We must all
do our duty to wipe out the stain
upon the community and will not rest
a hand until all who even took part
feel the majesty of the law"

IS TRUE TO HER PROMISE.
German Girl Who Married Rich Young
Mexican Now In Courts In Effort
to Obtain Property Valued
at 100000.

New York, Aug. 29.-A young wom-
an went to a lawyer in this city the
other day and told him that because
her dead husband had induced her to
listen to a secret which he said was
slowly killing him and because she
agreed to hear it, though he imposed
the condition that they die immediate
ly afterward, her sisters-in-law in the
City of Mexico refused to let her have
the property that he left, amounting to
about 100000.
She said that she had never told the
secret and that she never would. The
lawyer has learned that last winter,
when she was In the J. Hood Wright
inflicted by her husband upon her and
upon himself, from which he died, she
refused to submit to an operation for
blood poisoning because she was afraid
OF telling the secret under an anaes-
thetic.
Four letters were sent to Mexico to
the sisters Of the dead man. In these
the lawyer in the case has tried to
bring about an understanding without
the necessity Of court proceedings.
Elsa Muchweck Torrea is the young
woman who lived when her husband,
Raoul Torrea, died. She came fpom
Naumberg, Germany, a few months
before she met the young Mexican in
New York. They went to the city hall
on Oct. II, 1910, got a license and had
an alderman marry them.
Less than an hour after they left the
city hall he told her. that he had been
carrying something on his mind which
said that this secret oppressed him 80
constantly that life was impossible.
For a few days he said no more about
his secret. Then he told her he had
decided she must know, but there was
only one way she could know. If they
both died he could be sure that no one
would ever know 1t. He couldn't die
with the thought that his secret would
live after him. Would she be willing
to agree that they commit suicidei
His influence upon her was 50 great
that before two weeks elapsed after
their marriage she agreed 10 do as he
wished. One afternoon in November
he turned on the gas and went TO bed.
Consciousness was leaving her when
she heard footsteps in the hallway out
side. Her husband sat up. The odor
must have leaked under the door, he
said. He jumped up and ran to an
other room. Presently he came back
with a razor. With it he slashed hei
right wrist. She remembers family
seeing him hacking at his own wrists
She was in the hospital when she be-
came conscious. Neighbors had brought
the police too late to save her hus
bands life.
Since she got out of the hospital
,, Mrs. Torrea has filed letters of admin
istration with the surrogate here and
has been appointed Administrative Of
her husbands estate under a bond Of
$4,000 Friends Of Torrea told the at
torney that Richard Torrea. Raoul's
father, left $S0O0OO when he died and
that about 100000 of this was to &C
| to Raoul.
Her demands upon the estate, says
Mr.. Blumenthal, have been met by thu
demand from the sisters that she tel
them the reasons that led Torrea II
make the suicide agreement.
