Woe i'm Milwaukee,.

The American Issue: Milwaukee
made famous by its beer and The
number of its saloons, is holding its
breath-its bated breath-because
more than 600 of its grogshops will
have to quit business. This is an
awful blow to Milwaukee. She tried
to avert the disaster but failed.
The law limits the number of sa-
looms in Wisconsin to one to each
$50 population. Milwaukee has 1924
saloons, while by the census Of 1910
she has but $4,000 people. Her pop
ulation now will not exceed 100000
This entities her to only 1000 sa-
looms. In the closing days of tn"
legislature an effort was made to
enact a law making valid the IL
censes of the Milwaukee saloons
which have no right to exist. The
bill failed to pass and the 600 sa-
looms must close. That is why there
is woe in Milwaukee liquor circles.

A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
will Help Other Women.

Hines, Ala.-'T must confess, says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of flis place, "that
Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done me
great deal of good.
Before commenced using Cardui, |
would spit up everything ate. had a
fired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con-
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, have entirely
quit splitting up what eat. Everything
seems to digest all right, and | have
gained 10 pounds in weight"
If you are victim of any of the numer-
Gus ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suffer.
For half century, Cardui has been re-
lieving just such lis, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is COM
posed ofingredients which actspecificaly
on the wonlanly constitution, and helps
build the weakened organs back to health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
won't regret it. Your druggist sells it.

Thurman paints his mother-inlaw
as a sort of female Bluebeard, who
has had five husbands, who believes
neither in God nor the Devil. He says
he deserted the first husband, threw
the third one in Jail on false testi-
mony; the fourth, he says, died under
mysterious circumstances, and the
fifth, he says, she shot

Mr.. knights actions had been those of

prior to the difficulty with his son. He
had been under surveillance by mem
bers of the family and others.

CITY CALLED upon
TO GIVE KELLY CURE

Atlanta, Oct 10.-A well dressed
young man who was evidently under
the impression that the city of Atlanta
was operating free Keely cure es-
tablishment, walked into police head
quarters this morning and asked to be
locked up for ten days where he could
not get a drop of liquor.
He wasn't exactly drunk and after
looking him over, the sergeant decided
to keep him over night and send him
on his way in the morning.

Atlanta, Oct. 10.-Cupid's tragic
comedies and comic tragedies took al
unusually dramatic turn in the divorce
court this morning when three of the
most startling cases of local record
came to head.
The most wonderful of all was that
of a youth Robert A. Harper, who vol
unfairly relinquished young and
beautiful bride whome he loves, be-
cause the parents of the girl decided
that it would be better for them TO
separate Harper married Miss Ber
tha Dickinson, and failed to get the
parental blessings. So strong wee
the objections of the brides parents,
day to give up his bride, and today Al
the divorce court, as the pretty girl
bashfully told the story, he seconded
all she said, and admitted that though
l. nearly broke his heart it would be
better to obey her parents and separ-
ate. Judge Ellis warmly commended
Harper's self sacrifice.
A blacker element of tragedy enter
ed the case OF L. C. Thurman, who
was granted a first verdict after he
testified his wife and mother-in-laW
against him and had persuaded his
own two little daughters to go before
Il grand jury and blacken his name.

find 100000 MARBLES"
COULDN'T TRADE EN- FOR | BEER

Gutwirth said he had an enormously
valuable necklace in his possession
which had fallen into his hands in a
very artistic manner" and which he
was anxious to sell.
Brandstatter began negotiations for
its purchase. He saw the necklace in
the hands of Joseph Grizzard, whom
Gutwirth introduced as a friend, and
he bought two of the pearls for $4,000
The sale of the rest of the necklace
for $4,000 was being negotiated with
Gutwith when the police suddenly nab
bed him and four of his friends.
They hoped to find the necklace in
the possession of the men. But they
found nothing!
The case remained as big a mystery
as ever.
Then one morning recently, Angus
tine Horn, piano back maker left his
family of four in their two little up
stairs rooms in the north of London
and started to work as usual.
In the gutter of st. Paul's road he
noticed a small brown paper packet.
He picked it up, opened it and found
over fifty beads of various sizes-'mar
bles,'' he called them, and laughingly
offered to trade them with compan-
ion for the price of mug of ale.
Offer of Precious Find for One Beer is
Refused.
But the offer was refused, and Horn
examined his find again.
A few moments later an excited man
startled the police officials in Scotland
III u. ne 1oSI ISu llliI l6 Idu lOuI.u
: lie lost pearl necklace.
They were more astonished than e0
r. when they examined the pearls lie
showed and found his assertion was
rue.
Today with the pearls and the alleg-
ID thieves in their hands, the police
ire as much at sea as ever as to how it
all happened.
The mystery of the disappearance
and recovery of the 100000 pearl
necklace remains one of the strangest
lrd most battling in all the history
real and imaginary-of Scotland Yard

London, Oct. 1O.-A 100000 pearl
necklace found in a matchbox in a
London gutter! And offered for q
drink! And it wouldn't buy just one
drink for its finder!
Well" says Augustus Horn, work
man, the finder of the lost jewels of
abulous value, Il thought they were
only marbles"
Today the marbles" are locked UP
n the strongest safe in Scotland Yard
And the humble workman who found
them may share in the $4,000 reward
which was offered for their recovery.
And all London is excited about the
story-a story as wildly improbable as
the widest detective tale ever imag-
ined.
Most Precious and Perfect Necklace in
World
1t was back in July that A Paris
jeweler sold the pearls, 81 in all, to
Max Mayer, London jewel broker.
They constituted the most perfect and
precious necklace in the world.
On July IS the Paris jeweIer mailed
them in a simple packet addressed to
Mayer. The next day Mayer received
the packet, opened it and found few
Jumps of ugar-nothing more.
Scotland Yard detectives were dazed
by the mystery of the theft. They
formed an alliance with several clever
diamond brokers, and the month-long
detectives battle in the dark began.
1t was jewel dealer pitted against
jewel dealer, with pearls worth more
than half a million for the stake.
