RUNDOWN WOMEN
Find Health in Simple Tonic.

Find Health in a Simple Tonic,
How many women do you know
who are perfectly well, strong and
healthy as a woman should be? They
may not be sick enough to lie in bed
but they are rundown, thin, nerV-
Gus, tired and devitalized.
Women are so active nowadays,
and so much is expected OF them,
that they constantly overdo and suf-
fer from headache, backache, nervous.
ness and kindred ills.
Such women need Vinol, our deli.
cious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oil which will create an appetite,
tone up the digestive organs, make
pure blood and create strength.
Mrs. Walter Price, Biloxi, Miss,
says: "I was in a rundown condition
for months, had taken several medi-
cines but they seemed to do me no
good. Finally Vinol was recommend
ed, and from the first bottle I began
to improve until am strong and well
as ever"
Try a bottle Of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned II it does not help you.
P. S.-For pimples and blotches try
our Saxo Salve. We guarantee It

and Miss Delilah Bradley, seventeen
years old and pretty, under guard in

in Mobile fears she may have to ap-
pear when Foster is brought to trial.
With the arrest of Foster for a

law, he story of their elopement from
Pemberton, n. j., came out.
After his arrest both Foster and
the girl admitted that they we're not
married, but intended to be as soon
as the man could be divorced. Both
have so far maintained a defiant atti-

HARRY THAW
is FOUND SANE
Commission Says Fugitive is
No Longer a Menace.
WILL Be FREED ON BAIL
Members Unanimous That slayer's
Release Would In No Way Menace
Public Peace and Safety.

Inc commission appointed Dy Judge
Aldrich, OF the United States court, to
reach a finding as to whether it would
be a public menace to liberate Harry
X. Thaw on bail, pending a final de-
cision of his case in the federal court,
has reached a conclusion and filed the
same in writing with the clerk Of the
United States court in Concord, n. H.
The report of the commission was
made public and its conclusion is
couched in these words
"In our opinion it is reasonably
probable that Harry Kendall Thaws
liberty under bail would not be dan
gerous or a menace to the public peace
and safety"
The commission further states by
its written report that its members
have formed a unanimous and positive
opinion as TO the state of Thaws mind
at the time of the homicide. but re-
Trains from expressing that opinion,
because the scope OF its inquiry does
not permit of a finding or an opinion
on this point.
The report is addressed to Judge
Aldrich and signed by all the mem
bers of the commission. In its open
ing pages of the somewhat exhaustive
report the commission says that they
went carefully over the case book of
the MatteawaR hospital covering the
period from Feb. /. 1908, to Aug. II,
1918. when Thaw escaped.
It also examined transcripts of all
other legal proceedings, including the
various close and direct examinations
of Thaw and all evidence submitted at
the two trials of Thaw for homicide.
The commission refers 20 the public
hearing which it gave on Jan. Z, at
which only witnesses in favor Of Thaw
appeared, and then concluded its re-
port as follows:
"To determine the immediate ques-
tion before us. our inquisition was
necessarily directed to four points:
"First-Careful physical examina
ton to determine the presence or abb
sence of structural or functional dis
turbance of the nervous system.
"Second-The conduct OF Harry K.
Thaw since his committal to the Mat
teawan State hospital on Feb, l, 1908,
up to the present time.
Whether he is now suffer
ing from such a disease of the mind
or whether his present condition of
mind, whatever it may be. is of such
character as to predispose to acts Of
violence, independently of the mar
rover question whether such acts act
ually have been committed since his
confinement or not
"FOurth-The circumstances and
which Outwardly and in
wardly led to the homicide on June
25, 1906, and the probable condition
of mind of Harry X. Thaw at that
time.
'In its studies and deliberations the
has in the main confined |
its attention to facts, preferring to at
tach little importance, for its purpose, |
to the conflicting opinions Of expert |
and other witnesses.
'In our opinion it is reasonably |
probable that Harry X. Thaw's liberty |
under bail would not be dangerous or |
a menace to the public peace and |
safety
