 The ring that MT. Smead wore was in wooden jewel case on a dresser, while Mrs. Smead's ring happened to be lying on the dresser top at the time of the fire. When the dresser burned the two rings were thrown to- gether in some way, with the result described.

Foods That Bind
 Little Children
Start Them Off Right With a Good Laxative and Then Watch
 Their Diet.

Mothers are often unconsclously very careless about the diet of thelr children. forcing all to eat the same foods. The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence. avoid what seems to constlpate the child or to give it indigestion. and urge it to take more of what is quick ly digested.
 If the child shows tendency to constipation it should immediately be given a mild larative to help the DOW els. By this not meant a physlc or purgative. for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, pills. etc. What the child re- ouires is simply small dose of the eentles of medicines, such as Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin, whic hin the opinion of thousands of watchful mo- thers is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to constipation. So many things can happen to con-
 
 situated child that care is necessary. Colds. piles, headaches, sleeplessness and many other anuoyances that chill dren should not have can usually be traced to constipation.
 Many of Americas foremost fam lilies are never without Syrup Pepsin, because one can never tell when some member of the family may need it.. and all can use it. Thousands en- dorse it, among them Mrs. M. E. Rarl- ing. R. F. D. No. 4. Belleview, Pa. who writes: Il certainly think Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsn saved my baby's life. Marjorie is bottle baby and

 His cherished Prince Albert coat, the pride of his heart, which was stol- en from his office recently, is again to be seen hanging on the rack next to. his desk.
 Judge Frazier was at the Eagles Club rooms Sunday afternoon when a telephone call for him was received. In tones mysterious voice at the other end of the wire said. You are wanted at your office immediately. A faint metallic click was plain evi- dence that the caller had departed.
 Thinking that some important case needed his immediate attention. the "Jy:ge" hurried to his office, but found it empty and deserted. Walk ing around by his hat rack. he saw the treasured article and softly mur- mured his thanks for its return.
 Pinned to the lining. and written on tink perfumed paper was the follow ing note:
 Dear Friend: Your coat is too big so l will return it, thanking you for the use of it. I would not tell who returned it. as l would have kept it if 1t had not been too large for me.
 Lovely yours"
 Judge Frazier stated yesterday that he considered the Graphic responsible for the return of his coat. saying that he believed if this paper had not printed stories about his coat. il would have never been returned.

PARK THEATRE
sePEG 70 MY HEARTY

Peg O. My Heart" J. Hartley Manners comedy which has proved to be one of the past seasons greatest successes, will be seen at the Park tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday. The play is presented under the idirec- ton of MT. Oliver Merosco who has given it a splendid mounting and sup piled cast of rare balance and ex- cellence.
 The action of the play takes place in an old provincial town in England This is the home of a suddenly impov- 7erished family. This family is com posed of the relatives of a young girl of eighteen. She was born in New r ork and reared by her Irish father there. Peg comes to England to en- joy fortune left her by a wealthy uncle It is necessary for her to her education, according to the un- cIe's will, and the relatives agree to the responsibility in view of the re- muneration they receive. Like many other relatives, they accept the annual wage. but they, proceed to take 1t out of the unfortunate girl.
 They see none of her good qualities of heart and mind, but set to work to reform hen by vigorous application of education and a course of etiquette. In spite of the disagreeable nature of her surroundings, and the contrast be- I the false ideas of the aristocratic Eng fish family, the girl does not lose her inherent dnesse. She returns good for evil, in fact, by saving the daugh- ter of the family from an e1opement with an unworthy married lover. She does however, ultimately resent the treatment at the hands of her rela- tives until she is at the point of leav- ing the house. but is prevented by the 1 man she loves.
 The comedy is said to be brimfu1 of humorous situations c1everly interwo- ven--with a thread of love and affec- l tion. Blanche Hall is said to be excellent in, the title part Of Peg.
