MRS. J. OGDEN ARMOUR, STUNNED BY BILLY FIGHTS BURGLARS Vll30
 TAKE VALUABLE FAMILY JEVEEES

Chicago, Sept. Mrs J. Ogden Ar naour, wife of the wealthy meat pack CT. today related the story of her ex- Deriences last night with two masked and armed robbers who footed the Ar Inour residence. S,724 Michigan avenue securing booty valued at $7, 600.
 Mrs. Armour, although stunned for a moment by a blow on the head with a billy fought hand-to-hand with one of the robbers. She grasped the barrel of revolver pressed into her face. threw it over her head and be- gan to struggle with the man, calhng out an alarm to her servants.
 Mrs Armour had retired for the night and not more than a. half hour had passed when a knock was heard at her door. She called the name Of her maid. The man answered in fal- setto voice. Fearing something wrong, she threw open the door and stood face to face with masked robber. His companion, in the meantime, had overpowered three maids.
 s.I-tried to shut the door, Mrs. Ar mour said today, "but the man thrust his foot into the, opening and through this aperture pressed a revolver into my face. q seized the fbarrel of the weapon and pushed it over my head. Then I tried to push the door shut. But he hurled himself against the door and as it flew open he drew a billy bringing it down on my head. I called for help hut the servants were confronted with a revolver held by the second robber and forced into the room with me.
 fOne of the robbers asked me where [ had been and I replied to my Lake Forest home. Bring all your dia- monds?' he asked. No, I left most of my jewels up there.'
 ttIll knock your teeth down your throat if you don't tell where the stuff

is' he commanded.'s
 While Mrs. Armour and her maids were held in 8 corner of the room un- der threat of death to anyone who moved, one of the robbers swept the dresser of jewels. Then all rooms were searched. Completing their task, the men ran down stairs and escaped through a back door. Telephones wires had been cut to prevent an alarm. The, Armour residence occupies one half a block and is guarded by a high iron fence spiked at the top. There were several male servants, house men, chauffeurs and even a night watchmau within the grounds but none of them was aware of the robbery until after servants in the home had shouted an alarm.
 The pearl necklace for which Mir. Armour was obliged to pay S9,6OO du- ties when he brought it to this coun- try from France in 1901 is believed by the police to have been the loot sought by the robbers.
 The necklace was valued by govern naent appraisers at~more than $15,O0O
 The Jewerly stolen by the robbers consists mainly of diamonds. Only $75 in cash was obtained.

T0day's Beauty Helps

Nothing excites more criticism than
a woman with her face all daubed with
face powder in her desire to hide a
faulty or an aging skin. Instead Of
using powder, which clogs and en-
larges the pores, 1t is far better to use
a good face lotion that will improve
and permanently benefit the skin. By
dissolving four ounces Of spurmax in a
half pint Of hot water you can make
an inexpensive lotion that will do Won
ders as skin whitener and complex
ion beautiffer. It removes all shini-
ness, sallowness and roughness, and
gives the skin a smooth, velvety tone,
while it does. not rub off easily like
powder, nor does 1t show on the skin.
BY washing the hair with a tea
spoonful Of canthrox dissolved in a
cup of hot water, afterward rinsing
thoroughly with clear water, one finds
that 1t dries quickly and evenly, is I'M
streaked, bright, soft and very fluffy,
so fluffy, in fact, that 1t looks more
abundant than it is and so soft that
arranging it becomes a pleasure. This
simple, inexpensive shampoo cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly of all
dandruff and dirt, and leaves a clean,
wholesome feeling. All scalp irrita-
ton will disappear, and the hair will
be brighter and glossier than ever be-

DEVIL IS IN TOWN
EVANGELIST CRIES

THE worst hot-bed Of sin In the

would do things on the street that
they do in the dance-hall they would
be put In jail Any man can cuss
and booze and dance, but it takes a
man to be a Christian"

dance-hall and like amusements In his
sermon before the audience attending
the tabernacle meeting at the Central
Christian church last night.
THE devil is not dead, neither is he
in hell" said Rev. Bennett. He is
in Richmond, Indiana. He is the
wisest guy on earth. Many people are
80 low down that the devil cannot use
them. He wants men and women OF
influence and he has that kind in
Richmond, if l am not mistaken. He
wants church members, lodge mem
beers, club members and believe me
he has some following. II there is
any place in hell hotter than another

to pull his weakened brother into sin .

HAIR ON FACE
= NECK AND ARMS
WHAT CAUSES II

Nature does not produce coarse,
stubborn growths OF superfluous hair.
They are caused by the unwise use of
so-called hair removers.
The only way to gain control Of such
growths Is to devitalize them. 1t is
impossible to accomplish this result
with pastes and rub-on preparations
because they only remove hair from
the surface of the skin. DeMiracle, the
original liquid depilatory, devitalizes
hair by attacking it under the skin as
we'll as on the skin.
limitations Of DeMiracle are as
worthless as pastes and rub-on prepa-
rations because they lack certain in
gradients that DeMiracle alone con-
tains which give it the power to rob
hair Of its vitality-its life sustaining
force.
Insist on the genuine DeMiracle and
you will get the original liquid hair re.
mover. Others are worthless imita-
tions-refuse them. DeMiracle Is sold
In three sizes. SOC, 800 and $500 bot
ties. The larger sizes are the most
economical for dermatologists and
large users to buy II your dealer will
not supply you buy bottle at Glen

HANDICAPPED YOUTH
 MAKES BRAVE FIGHT
A Case Which Must Appeal to the
 Generous Minded

Here is the story of a deserving
 youth. He lives at Tempe. He is twenty-two years of age. When
 boy both feet were cut off, one just
 above the ankle and the other below
 the knee. He is a member of fam
 fly consisting of his mother, para =
 lytic step-father and seven children
 younger than himself, the eldest, thir-
 teen. For long time the boy ped
 dIed bread about Tempe making his
 rounds by crawling. But because he
 trusted so many poor families who
 were unable to pay him he became bankrupt
 His cases excited the interest of a prominent citizen of Tempe who ar ranged with a firm of makers of ar tificial limbs by which he secured feet and was enabled to walk He was set up in the shoe shining busi- ness and managed to support his fam fly and pay off $125 of an indebted ness of s150 for his artificial feet. But this season has been bad one and Ahe has been unable to make enough to supply his stricken family with food The case was brought to the attention of Humane Officer J. w. Canning, who has Investigated it Some help has been afforded the young man. It Svas thought that ii the attention of the people of Tempe were made acquainted with the case they would come to his relief.
