Doctor Angered

It was in 1902 she said, that she first
told DR.. Mohr about McDougall. The
doctor she admitted, was incensed and
went to Nova Scotia'to try to. have the
minister unfrocked. The attorney gen.
eral then reminded her in her direct
examination she said that her husband
had gone TO the Provinces to see a
friend
Her Preference
The doctor was under the influence
Of drugs" said Mrs. Mohr. He asked
me if / preferred McDougall to him
and l told him that the way he was
acting l thought McDougall would
have been better as he didn't touch
liquor
At the time she met McDougall, Mrs.
Mohr said, she was known as Elizabeth
Blair. She denied that she had told the
doctor that she had left Providence to
30 to Boston because Of notoriety
caused by her friendship with Nc
Dougall. She could not keep company
with McDougall, she said, because the
difference in their religious beliefs
made it impossible for her to become
minister's wife.
1t was at about the time she told the
doctor about McDougall the attorney
general brought out, that Mrs. Mohr
and her husband had a falling out and
that he began to correspond with Miss
Emily Burger who later became his
secretary ana VINO was seriously

If You know someone who is trou-

been the means of saving some poor
sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
Recent experiments have proved con-

being so, much time and money las
been spent of late by a noted special
isl in perfecting a pure. gentle. yet eff
fectivo tonic that would quickly dis
pei all traces of the catarrhal poison
from the system. The effective pre-
seription which was eventually formu-
lated. and which has aroused the be-
lief that deafness Wills soon be ex-
tnet. is given below in understand

themselves in their own home at little

u pint of hot water and 4 OF. of gran
ulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times n day. :
The first dose should begin to re-
lieve the distressing head noises, head
ache, dizziness, cloudy thinking, etc.
while the hearing rapidly returns as
the system is invigorated by the tonic
action of the treatment. Loss of smell
and mucous dropping in the back of the
throat, are other symptoms that show
the presence of catarrhal poison, and
which are often entirely overcome by
this afficacions treatment. Nearly 80
per cent of all ear troubles are direct
ly caused by catarrf; therefore, there
must be many people whose hearing
can be restored by this simple home
treatment
Every person, who is troubled with
head noises. catarrhal deafness, or ca

prescription a trial.-Adv.

NEW YORK TAKES
UP BIG PROBLEM
Terminal Market Plan Fa-
vored by Food Commits

One Glass Pronounces it
Pure Bunk.

New York, Dec. Allowing pictures
are to be used as a means of bringing
before the public the causes of and
suggesting remedies for the high cost
OF living, says a local newspaper. Jo-
seph ,Hartisan, commissioner Of
weights and measures, said that d. w.
Griffith, moving picture producer, had
consented to make u film showing how
foodstuffs are handled from farmer to
consumer. and incidentally make 1t
clear to the eye at least the evils sur
rounding food gambling"
After making a flying trip through
the upstate farming districts, where
he has been organizing farmers and
producers in the project to establish n
terminal market in this city, State
Food Commissioner Dillon returned to
his office yesterday He said:
LEGISLATORS FAVOR MARKET.
We are making splendid progress.
Farmers and producers around places
ike Syracuse and WatertoWn are en-
thusiastic. ! have talked with many
up-state members of the assembly and
senate and all OF them are strongly in
favor of legislation to build and oper-
ate terminal market in this city. In
tact, everybody concerned seemed to be
ready to cooperate and if the people
of this city will help we will have little
difficulty in pushing the thing through.
BY next week plans will be per-
fected so that every one interested in
reducing the high cost of foods can
push on the same lever. Heretofore
everybody has been considering some
different remedy. If our plan does not
meet with the approval of those inter
ested we will alter it so that it will
finally be the project favored by the
greatest number.
We will strive for two things: First
TO get the terminal market established.
and, second TO so perfect the organi-
cation so that nobody can break in and
make big profits for any one interest.
The volume of food passing through
such Il market Will he SO great that the
expense of handling the products will

GERMANS BUILT TUNNEL.
Following the occupation of the fort
by the Germans they were construct
ing tunnel up to the fort from their
lines in the rear. this tunnel passing
entirely under the fort and then on
down towards Nerdun.
1t served to enable the Germans to
bring up troops from the rear, pass
them under the fort and on down to
the front line trenches towards Yer
dun without subjecting them to the
unintermittcnt shell fire of the French
which would have allowed very few
ever to reach the front alive. 1t was
into this tunnel that the 1900 cadaVcrs
were carried and stored away for weeks
untn the opportunity could be found
to get them out Of the fort under
cover and bury them. German pris-
onorS taken as late as the rcconduest
of the fort on oct. 50 still recount
to the French officers their horrors
when on being sent up to the front
line trenches at Verdun, they passed
through this long tunnel and gallery
under Fort Douaumount whore each
side from the floor to the ceiling was
walled up with human cadavers like
so many sandbags.
METHODS WERE ALTERED.
The explosion with its frightful toll
of human life appears to have had a
very marked effect on the Germans and
to have altered considerably their
methods of handling the garrison
within the fort. Printed orders have
been found showing that the Germans
Immediately reduced the size of their
garrison in the fort so as to prevent
any such possible toll of life in the flu
ture. instructions We're also given that
in case of explosions within the fort
the entire garrison was to got out as
quickly as possible. on oct. n. the
day preceding the French infantry at
tack, the French artillery succeeded in
placing 400 millimeter high explo-
SlNe smell square in the fort. This
produced an enormous explosion with
g great ontburst Of flames from three
SIDES of the fcrt. goodly portion
Of the garrison appears to have
opeYed instructions and to have GOT
ten out immediately so that when the
french infantry finally burst into the
tort there was considerably less of
hand-to- hand fighting than would
otherwise have been the case.
