MRS. cARMAN USED TELEPHONE
APPARATUS TO LEARN HIS
MOVEMENTS

Mineola, N. II, Oct. 20- After sew
eral physicians have established the
cause Of the death of Mrs. Louise D.
Bailey, who was shot and killed in
the office Of DIR. Edwin Carman at
Freeport on June 30 last Celia Cole
man, the negro maid in the Carman
household, is expected to take the
stand today to tell her story of the
crime Of which her former mistress,
Mrs. Florence c. Carman, is accused.
Outlining the states theory Of the
murder, Lewis j. Smith, district at
torney, opened for the prosecution,
explaining in detail the grounds on
which Mrs. Carman's conviction Of
murder in the first degree will be
asked. He sketched in detail Mrs.
Bailey's actions on the day she was
murdered, and explained the arrange
ment Of the Carman house and Dr.
Carman's Office, where the murder
was committed.
I'VE shall show continued the dis
trict attorney, ''that the shot that
killed Mrs. Bailey was fired by he
defendant. We shall show that she
had gone through the kitchen out
through the side yard a moment be-
fore the shooting and that she re-
turned through the kitchen immediate
" after It.
1--WE shall show further that the
motive was JEALOUSY and suspicion Of
the husband. To prove this, we shall
call woman whom Mrs. Carman
slapped on one occasion when she
saw her husband give her money; the
pair were in the physicians Office
Also we win show why she obtained
and installed a telephone instrument
so che could spy on her husband Of
whom she was intensely jealous"
The district attorney told how the
defendant tore out the instrument
The morning after the murder and hid
It in the garnet.

Mrs. Jennie B. Duryea, aged 20,
mother of the victim, was the first wit
ness. She burst itno tears as soon
as she took the stand. She said the
last time she saw her daughter alive
was at 1920 o'clock on the afternoon
of June 30.
What is this?' asked Mr.. Smith,
handing the witness dark cloth OBJ
ject.
That's my daughters dress,o said
Mrs. Duryee.
Mrs. Duryea said her mother was
SS years old and described her. So
swiftly did the case move that within
an hour after convening ofscourt the
district attorney had made his open
ing address to the jury and five wit
nesses had followed one another in ra-
pid succession on the stand.
Miss Hazel Cowles, a stenographer
of Freeport, testified that she went
to Dr.. Carman's office to consult him
in the night Of June 80 and that while
she was waiting in the reception room
woman wearing a dark dress enter
ed. 1t was inferred that the woman
was Mrs. Bailey. Mrs. Carman pass

MOST BEAUTIFUL WORDS
IN OUR LANGUAGE.

In a recent contest to determine
which twenty-five words are worth
being considered the most beauti-
full in the English language, the
first prize was won with the words
printed below. From these the judg-
es struck four, grace, divine, JUS
lice and truth as lacking in eupho-
ny compared to the other words of
the list.
Grace and justice were struck
out because of the harshness of
the ''g" in grace and the 81 in JUS
tice. The word truth had a metallic
sound, SO the judges declare, and
divine while beautiful in the senti-
ment implied lack euphony. The fol.
lowing are the twenty five words Sc
iected.
Melody, Splendor, Alteration, Vir-
tue, Grace, Eloquence, Innocence
Modesty, Faith, Joy, Truth Peace
Nobility, Honor, Love, Hope Divine
,, Heaven, Harmony, Purity, Happiness
Justice, Liberty, Radiance and Sym
pathy.

GREAT USERS
PACKAGE MEDICINE

A plant or laboratory for the man.
ufacture of proprietary medicine
used on a large scale represents a
large investment, and the advertis-
ing necessary to continually keep
the product of such a laboratory be-
fore the public represents another
very large investment. In way
this great investment is an insur-
ance and guaranty to the public
as NO sane man would imperil his
investment by putting on. the
market a remedy in which he did
not afford to take chance of hay
not afford to TAX ca chance of hay
| ing his entire Investment swept
away, nor of becoming entangled
with the pure Food" laws, which
are very stringent and strictly en-
forced, and under which manufac-
turer who puts out an adulterated
or misbranded article is not only
liable to fine but to imprisonment
Farmers for obvious reasons are
among the greatest users of patent
or package medicines many of which
lave been in the same household
for years following from one gen.
GRAFTON to another. Among
people living at distance from a
physician, especially, the old-fashion
ed package medicine with full prin
ed instructions for its use, con-
stitutes real household necessity.
The leading package medicines
in general use have been in the mar
ket for years, and have stood every
test of time because they are of
tried and proven therapeutic value.
They are prepared by skilled phar-
macists from approved formulas
which, in almost every case have
been the pride and specific of som
successful physician. And these
preparations which have been the
means of saving many lives IN the
years during which they have been
used, are generally procurable at
any drug store at a fraction of the
cost of filling physicians pre-
scription.

OCTOBER MONTH IS A
MAKER OF HISTORY

October always has been a busy
month IN history. In this month,
three :ears ago Mhdero was elect
ed president of Mexico
Since then that country had a
half a dozen presidents and some
times none.
In October 1871 occurred the di-
sasterous fire in Chicago, but to
see the city now one would not
think anything had ever been des-
troyed there. The first overland
mail New York to San Francisco
dispatched in October 1858. 1t ira
veled about 50 miles a day.
We now shoot it around under
ground at the rate of 20 miles al
hour, and still wonder why the
mails are so slow.
Columbus discovered America som
five hundred years ago in October.
The first newspaper in New
York City was printed in Octobe7
1925. Now there is paper for eve
ry two hundred residents in town.
The first pocket watch was mad,
in October 1910 and was about tn,
size of skillet lid in diameter ant
ev IN larger in actual value. Now GU
homes have watch for every mem
Der of the family except when thu
assessor is due.

WAR AND WOMEN

Over in Canada they will not per-
NIT a married man to go to war
unless his wife consents.
In not one of the countries Ut
war do women vote. Though they
are wars chief burden-bearers, they
have not only had no voice in start
ing the war, but they will be equal
ly ignored when it comes time to
fix up peace.
A fine mess the men have made
things over in Europe, but it can't
be helped now, till the war heat Is
over.
And then it will be very strange
indeed, if the women of Europe do
not insist upon an arrangement
Like that of Canada
