SMALL TOWN GOSSIP
LEADS TO TRAGEDY
Brother Of Girl Uniustly involved
in "TattIe" Shoots Her En-
pIoyer.

SHREVEPORT. La. March 90
Gossip that gathered force with the
years in the little town of Mansfield.
despite repeated deniaIs, took its toll
OF one life.
The victim Is T. n. Herndon. forty
years old. prominent lumberman and
automobile dealer.
Lodged in the jail at Mansfield is
young Lex Davies. eighteen year old
brother of Miss Jennie Davies. for
years bookkeeper and stenographer
for Herndon. Davies has Just been
married. Herndon leaves a widow
and four children.
Young Davies. who has long been
brooding over the small town talk
that coupled the names OF his pretty
sister and her employer. shot Hern-
don. as. unarmed. he walked down a
Mansfield street. Standing two feet
from the older man he called his
name, and as his sisters employer
turned fired two pistol bullets into
his body. Herndon fell dead.
Some time ago Mrs. Herndon filed
suit for divorce. Miss Davies name
was brought into tho case. Subse-
quently, however, the suit was with
drawn.
In the meantime Herndon had I'm
dignantly denied the rumors I'm circu-
lation. He declined to discharge Miss
Davies from his employ. stating that
such an act would affect her good
name, and that there was no Justice
IN causing the girl to pay the price OF
unfounded tattle.

EXPLOSIVE EXPORTS

Reports Show U. S. Is Sending
More Munitions Of War
Abroad Than Ever.

NEW YORK. March 2O.-Exports Of
gunpowder and other explosives reached
record breaking proportions during 1915
and particularly during the last month
OF the year, when in this period alone
they exceeded In volume and value more
than the total OF the entire twelve
months OF the preceding year.
The total shipments in 1915 were 1854.

statement issued by Dow. Jones AZ co.
The total value of 1915 shipments OF gun
powder was so, 3i6, 40. against S2S9,9sJ In
1913 The average price per pound was
70 cents in 1916 against IS cents in the
The greatest deliveries were in No
vember and December. The money
value of the December exports was S2U,-
2Ol $50, and that OF the November ex-
ports SIS, 73O,3s4. which was nearly three
times the money value OF the October
shipments.
Difficulties In Getting Ships.
A compilation by the foreign trade
department of the National City Bank,
of New DIRK. shows that the March
exports from the port Of New York
thus far average about 300, OOO.OW Der
week against SO. OOO,OOO per week in t'eb-
ruary and Sl 900 per week in Deem
Der and January.
This the more remarkable in view or
the fact that the difficulties of obtain
ing vessel space on the Atlantic have led
certain exporters of merchandise 10 the
orient to send their goods by rail across
the continent. and thence by vessel
acroes the Pacific. These rail ship
,nents. while intended for export, are no
OF the port Of New York.
nevertheless. the total exports from
the port OF New York for the first week
OF March were $57.5oo.oO0. and those
or the second week, while slightly less,
VIII probably bring the average for
the first half of the month up to about
soo,Ooo.00O per week. or fully 40 per cent
more than the weekly average of Feb
ruary. and considerably more than that
OF December and January.
war material. foodstuffs and horscs
continue the chief articles in the grow

Portugal Is Now Added.

OF the National City Bank of New York

Men and women who can't get feel

baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days

and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath. backache. rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour. gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little. but is sufIi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing il more

cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
