with potatoes.
The power sloop Virginia got into port

JOHN CONNOR ENDS life
SaIoonkeeper, Who Never
Tasted Liquor, Shoots Him
self in the Head.

John Connor. sixty-one years old, who
was in the saloon business at 100 G street
northwest, committed suicide yesterday
afternoon by shooting himself in the
head.
Connor was at his place of business
most of the day. 1t became necessary
in the afternoon to tap keg Of beer. He
told the bartender he would attend to it.
Leaving the bartender talking to patrons,
Connor went to the cellar. He shot HIM
self directly over the right ear and died
almost instantly. The bartender and
patrons. hearing the report Of the pistol
shot. hurried to the cellar. They found
Connor stretched on the floor.
DR.. Lewis H. Walker was summoned
from his home nearby. He pronounced
life extinct, the bullet having penetrated
the brain. Coroner hewitt made an in
vestigation and gave q certificate OF death
from hemorrhage Of the brain following
the inf1iction Of the wound, recording the
case as suicide.
Never Tasted Liquor.
Although Connor had been in the sa-
loon business at 1st and G streets more
than thirty years, it is stated, he dld
not know the taste of liquor. He was a
native of Ireland, but had lived here
since he was youth. He was proml-
nently identified with the growth OF the
section in which he resided and was
looked upon as being substantial busi-
ness man.
About eighteen months ago his wife
died. Since that time he has suffered
several nervous attacks and rev
months ago it was found necessary to
send him to q sanatorium. Recently he
had been unable to sleep and his nerv-
BUSINESS reached such a stage, his friends
say, that they believe he was not re-
sponsible for taking his life.
Connor is survived by one daughter,
Miss Bernadette Connor. She had kept
house for her father since the death of
her mother.

Reason Children Go Wrong.

TOO many children" said the speaker,
"go wrong through ignorance or through
lack of proper ideals to control conduct.
The common attitude of mystery, secrecy
and Of aloofness concerning sex-phenom-
ena in general, and the birth Of a new hu-
man being in particular. only intensifies
in the minds Of children the false notions
which they receive from perverted play
mates.
when the child is old enough to ask
question he is also old enough to re-
ce;ve truthful answer within the limits
of his understanding. Do not wait untli
the first information is received from out
side sources First impressions are deep
est and most lasting. If the parent gives
the child an evasive answer or tells
falsehood about these things. the child
is apt to think that the perverted tales
he hears from older children must be
true. and that this is the reason that
the mother does not want to talk about
the matter"

F0RCEFUL WORDS e:. .,....t> BY CLERGYMAN
MINISTER WHO HELPED TO BUILD FIRST APARTMENT HOUSE
 OWNED BY CHURCH TELLS .- :. OF "PLANT JUICE."
Says ..i'lant Juice" y Has Brought Health and Happiness to Un.
 told Thousands.

The first apartment house, built and owned by a church in Texas is the St. Johns apartment at Fort Worth. This stroke of enterprise was conceived and executed by Rev. Paul H. Langhorst and the congrega-I tion of the St. Johns M. E. Evange- lical church, over which he presides.
 Rev. Langhorst resides at 309 Tex as street, Fort Worth. In many re-! spects he IS one of the noted clergy men of Texas, and it is with gratifi- cation that Colonel Frank A. Dilling- ham, the Cincinnati manufacturer of Plant Ju ce,' he enabled to repro duce a few words uttered by him re- garding Plant Juice.'
 Rev. Langhorst said:
 AS tonic and remedical agent for stomach disorder and as cathartic it gives me pleasure to very highly pra SC your Plant Juice I have per- sonally tested it and am sure it is an article of great merit. It has proven of great physical benefit to me. .'- Fort Worth, Texas, Record, April IS, 1912.
 The foregoing brief but pointed statement cannot fa.l to have much right among people who suffer with stomach and Kindred disorders.
 ''Plant Juice" is the essence that is craved by disordered stomachs and by starved nerves. It's revivifying and reconstruct.ve action upon nerves, stomach, kidneys and liver is so ap- parent that the user at once finds himself infused with new life. It le- pairs and rebuilds waste tissues of v.ta organs that have been undermln- 1 ed by worry, work, or disease. It gives renewed energy, new elasticity, ,, new appetite and, in fact, readjusts : the human organism to perform it's functions ill the most perfect man. ner
 'I In all the great cit es of the coun- try "Plant Juice" has brought health and happiness to untold thousands. A short time ago it was introduced into ' Pine Bluff and it. has already done a great work in this c ty. No more en- phatic indcrsement could be had than is found in the few words of Rev.
 Langhorst, given for ,'he benefit of sufferers and friends. Call at Sea
