tablished among the reserve banks them
selves so as to facilitate the handling 81
checks drawn on reserve banks by mem

pointed to make an inquiry into clearances
with instructions TO report at another
conference OF the governors here on Jsnu-
ary 22 Pending submission OF the recon-
mendatons expected to result from this

reserve banks to take over the business
of clearing checks OF their member banks
as has already been done by the banks nj
Kansas City and Chicago.
At the conference this morning Gov.
strong was elected chairman OF the gov

at his home In the West of the existence
OF some deeds which would legitimize his
claim to the estate. lie collected the

while seeking out further evidences TO
establish his claim.
Edwards had heard Of tho aged Mr.
Fonda, who represented the estate in this
city, hut had never met him and did not
know his address. II so happened that
he took a room IN a house only a few
doors from Mr.. Fondas home. The two
men became acquainted and joined In the
investigation of the titles. Mr.. Fonda
said that because OF Mr.. Eiwards's
credentials and honest appearance he al
lowed him the privilege of looking through
Mr. Fonda's deeds and records. which
he keeps in many large boxes at his
home.

Excitement May Have KILLED Him.

While going through these old papers
last Monday Mr.. Edwards suddenly grew
excited lie ran to the window with a
handful of papers and examined them
closely, then exclaimed: MY God Here
II is now! He showed the papers to
Mr.. Fonda and explained that they were
the deeds which would establish beyond
doubt his claim to the estate. They
were the papers he had come across the
continent to find. he said. and with them
he would be rich in short time Mr.,
Fonda gave him permission to take the
documents to his own room to copy.
That was the last he has seen Of them.
Edwards remained In his room dur
Ing the remainder OF the week. Friday
night, as he hadn't left the room all day
the landlady knocked on the door. There
was no answer. The door was opened
and the man was found dead IN bed

had died from natural causes, excitement

Papers and deeds were scattered about
a table. Others were In a trunk. They
were all gathered up and taken away
by the police. In that litter of papers
Mr. Fonda believes are the deeds worth
millions Of dollars to the heirs of the
Edwards estate.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early sHe
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters Of
Christian Charity, 531 Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
ssome time ago we began using DR..
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and flavor of any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Or. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result, that they,
are taken without objection. NJ.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence Of other taste, make, Dr..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
