ROB VAUGHAN CO

Thieves for the second time in the
las. six weeks entered the store OF
the Vaughan Hardware company. at
16 East Broad street, some time dur
ing tho day yesterday and after
working the combination OF the safe
made away with checks and cash
amounting to about S22. Another
drawer in the safe, containing about
$146, was overlooked The cash
drawer. which contained small
amount of cash was left intact.
The loss was discovered shortly
after o'clock. Sergeant Johnson's
attention was called to the open back
gate and door leading into the cs-
tablishment, and he at once made
an investigation. He did not dis
cover a loss, as the burglars in leav-
ing, had closed the safe and had
again turned on the combination lock.
However, MIR. Vaughan was called
over the phone by the officer. and
asked to come over and make an
investigation. After careful eNani-

then called.
According to Mr., Palmer he was
in the store about l o'clock yesterday
afternoon. and everything seemed al
that time to have been all right But
the loss could easily have escaped
his attenSon, as the stock was not
disturbed and the safe was locked

Biography was Louis Daguerre, born at
Cormeilles, France, in 1889. He was
first employed painting scenes for the
theater, and while thus at work he
discovered the method Of representing
night and day by the illumination Of q
transparent canvas painted on both
sides. This was in 1922, but as early
as 1914 Nicephore Nlepce had made
some experiments of photography on
metal. In 1926 he and Daguerre be.

former died, leaving Daguerre to de.

HIahIanders, Costume.

The picturesque dress Of the High
landers in early times is a subject of
much controversy. 1t has been said,
and widely believed. that the kilt as
a separate garment was simply the
invention Of two Englishmen so late
as 1928. ]. Roech, in a short article
On the Feileadh beag, gives an ex-
tract from the journal Of John AS

kilt and shoulder plaid were separate
garments in the reign Of Charles l,
He also gives confirming passages
from Thomas Kirk and Sir William
Brereton, both of whom refer to this
matter in describing their visits to
Scotland. These references ought to
settle an old controversy.

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
of poisonous focal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food Is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist cured himself
and many Of his friends Of stomach,

standing by this treatment and so sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
It has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have

blow to his pride, his hopes, his 10y.

He was sick at heart. He could not

There had been the consolation, how

had anticipated that. like a true WON

in his affection, comfort and encour-

Suddenly Bliss lifted his head In
