OBJECTS TO CHARACTER

New York, Oct, 25.--It was learned
today that efforts had been made by
Justus P Scheffield to prevent the
sale of a book entitled The Golden
Hollow written by his wife, Rena
Carey Sheffield, which he said con-
tanned matter grossly libelous upon
him. The book was published by the
John Lane company and it was admit
ted there today that not only had Mr..
Sheffield tried to prevent the publica-
ton of the book by warning that le-
gal action might follow, but failing to
influence the publishers, had written
to booksellers throughout the city ad-
vising them of the legal consequences
attendant upon taking any part in the
circulation of the novel.
Mr.. Sheffield has succeeded in tying
up the sale of the book in New York,
but his wife has sold more than 200
copies herself among her friends at
Short Hills, N. j., where she lives. The
matter has been put by the John Lane
company in the hands of it's counsel,
John Delehanty, and it was announced
that legal steps would be taken soon
to put the book on sale.
COUPLE PARTS; BOOK FOLLOWS.
Mr.. Sheffield was formerly lawyer
in New York. He is member of the
Harvard club and the Lambs club
and is a descendant of John Sewer,
one of the governors of Tennessee.
An action for absolute divorce on
the grounds of desertion was begun

Loss Of Appetite

Is the first signal Of disorder and de-
cay. The usual loss OF appetite is Of
ten caused by functional disturbances
in the stomach. The stomach fails to
do the work required, the appetite is
gone, and the BODY suffers from lack
of nourishment Such a stomach needs
to be cleaned and sweetened. Meritol
Tonic Digestive is made especially to
assist the stomach TO digest food, and
promote a healthy appetite. This
remedy is sold on our positive guaran-
tee. and we ask you to give it a trial.

Sometimes the first bottle gives relief.
Other times q number Of bottles must
be taken. This is the story that has
come TO US from every state in the

the world.
II il is not true that Peruna really
does relieve catarrh of the head.

other organs, then why do the thous-

been benefited? No one is in a better

gratitude which induces them TO allow

last April by Mr.. Sheffield in the chan
Gerry court of New Jersey. The suit
Is still pending. Mrs. Sheffield SAID
today as soon as she had established
a residence in New Jersey she would
bring counteraction.
''The Golden Hollow" consists of
anonymous letters written by a girl
named Barbara Navarro to a Captain
Dan Calderwood, whose books reveal
a kinship with the girls own mind
Barbara is engaged at the time to her
cousin, Mac, who is older and looks
upon the marriage as a convenience,
having already had his romance.
To the author-captain Barbara con-
fides the daily intimate thoughts and
deeds of her humdrum, International
existence. She has charge of Macs
two children, who form the real tie
that holds her to what she believes
her duty.
FICTION CHARACTER LIBELs MAN.
According to Mrs Sheffield, her hus.
band alleges he is libeled by the char.
acter of Mac. 1t is also alleged that
some Of the characters resemble
friends of Mr.. and Mrs Sheffield.
Here are some characteristics of
