MADMAN TRIES
To Kill FAMILY

Harrodsburg, Ky, March 25.-lnsane
from drink, Edward Moore attempted
to murder his wife and family, seri-
ously wounded two officers who went
to the rescue and then committed sui
eide on the back porch of his home
early yesterday morning. According
to the story told by his wife, Moore
became violent about daybreak, de-
stroyed clothing and furniture and
aimed a gun at a man through the
window. His l4-year-old stepson,
Frank Votaw, detected the barrel,
which SO enraged Moore that he at
tackled members of the family The
boy heroically centered the madman's
attention on himself by hurting a chair
at Moore. The two ran out the door
and neighbors summoned the police.
The appearance of Chief of Police
X. c. Smith and Workhouse Keeper
William Davenport brought about a
battle between the officers and Moore,
who retreated behind the swinging
kitchen door. AS the door swung to
and fro the man fired, and Smiths
right arm was shattered, while Daven-
port received a bullet just over the
heart. The officers retreated across
the street, but when they returned to
the attack they found Moore diving
from a self-inflicted wound. On a ia
BILE in the kitchen were three revolv-
ers, rifle, shotgun a bowie-knife
and $500 cartridges.

The FIRST GRAY
HAIR sign OF AGE
Easy Way To Preserve Natural Color
OF The Hair And Make
1t Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natural color. The care
of the hair, to prevent it from losing
its color and lustre, is just as impor-
tant as to care for teeth to keep them
from discoloring. Why spend money
for cosmetics and creams to improve
the complexion, and yet neglect your
hair, when gray hair is even more con-
spicuous and suggestive of age than
wrinkles or poor complexion? OF the
two, it is easier to preserve the nat
ural color and beauty of the hair than
it is to have a good complexion.
All that is necessary is the occasion

less remedy, your hair will gradually
