And on the third morning, when ev-
erybody went about with a copy of
the News-Herald in his hand, open
at Miss Lessons article:
Guilty? That fellow amt guilty.
Why. there's innocence in his face.
Look at him! Who'd be fool enough
to send a box Of poisoned candy like
that? Bought strychnine? Sure! For
rats! They can't and won't prove he
put it into the creams. Anyway, I'm
in favor of giving him a chance for
his life"
They can't prove nothing. No
case" summed up the popular YER
dict.
About all the evidence against
Symonds, in fact, was that he had
been jealous of his rival, and that he
had bought a box of candy at one
store and some stryehnine pellets,
later, at another. And yet, so suscep-
tible is a jury to the atmosphere of a
courtroom, that the man might have
been convicted but for Mary Lessons
articles.
On the day on which the verdict
was to be delivered, old Lyons came
down to see. He patted Mary Lesson
on the arm. Wen win" he whis-
pered. You've done finely, Miss Lee
son. l take back all l ever said

writing her last article.
Lyons created something Of a stir
in court. The district attorney, in
summing up, turned and faced him
for a moment. Where is the missing
girl?" he Numbered to the jury.
"Who knows? If anybody, it is the
powerful interests that are defend
ing the prisoner"
Lyons leaped to his feet. but the
judges gavel fell with a thud. Il will
not permit such an i%nsinuation," he
shouted. Strike that from the rec
ord"
Well, it was mot guilty" of course.
And yet, in spite Of all the signs Of
an acquittal, which had been sensed
in court from the opening of the sec
ond day, / was not sure. l saw the
face of the prisoner turn from green
to gray as the foreman pronounced
the words. Then a CHASTITY smile came
over Symonds' face, and he stepped
down, a free man.
The jury crowded about him, to go
through the farce of shaking hands.
Il congratulate you, sir" said each
man, with a beaming smirk Of self
congratulation upon his p~erspicacity.
They gathered round him in an avid
cluster till Symonds' counsel pulled
him away.
you had better thank Mr.. Lyons"
he said.
The two men shook hands. Il was
convinced Of your innocence from
the first, Mr.. S~ymonds,'' said Lyons.
And so l brought to bear what little
influence / possess. / hope, in return,
that you will let us have an article
on the trial and a personal history.
But you must thank Miss Lesson,
whose articles did more for you than
you perhaps realize now"
He pulled Miss Mary by the sleeve,
and the girl and Symonds stood face
to face. The mans eyes fixed them
selves upon hers in a terrified glare.
Then there was a sensation in the
courtroom. Symonds dropped to the
floor in a dead faint.
And, looking at Mary Lessons ex-
preston, | knew where the missing
girl was, knew that the undying
hatred pictured there was to burn
itself into Symond's brain for ever.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The
latest application of its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that it
is as necessary to attend to internal
sanitation of the drainage system of
the human body as 1t is to the drains

foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a.
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast. drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach Is

waste and acidity and gives one
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
phosphated hot water is quietly ex-
tracing large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside or
gans.
The millions OF people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells. stomach trouble. rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly com
plexions are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make any
one pronounced crank on the sub
J@ct of internal sanitation.

MRS. c. B. EAGER
DIES, AGED 73
Prominent in Church, Social
and Charitable Work For
Many Years

Mrs. Charles b. Eager, Sr., widow
OF DR.. Charles B. Eager, widely known
because of her interest in charitable,
social and church work in the city
and vicinity, died last evening at 8
o'clock at her home, 120 Walnut
street. following an illness of two
months. She was 73 years old.
AS one of the organizers of the
Children's Industrial Home, Nine
teenth and Swatara streets, Mrs. Eager
served as president for many years,
and in addition to her interest in that
institution she was a member of the
Children's Bureau of the Associated
Aid societies, the Woman's Auxiliary
of the Harrisburg Hospital and the
Civic Club. Her activity in church
circles and Sunday school work in
Zion Lutheran Church won her many
friends. Mrs. Eager was also a mem
Der of the Daughters of the American
Revolution and the Daughters of
1912.
Helped in Playground Work
Several years ago when the sum-
mer playground system was started in
this city Mrs. Eager continually aided
in the work of selecting teachers and
making other important arrangements
for the development of recreational
facilities for children.
Mrs. Eager was born in this city,
and was Miss Susan A. Hummel prior
to her marriage, January 3, 1865. She
was a daughter of the late Valentine
and Mary Jane Hummel. Surviving
are three sons. DR.. Charles 3. Eager,

five MINUTES! NO
GAS, INDIGESTION
OR ACID STOMACH
Instant relief from sourness,
heartburn, headache,
dyspepsia.
"Pape's Diapepsin" is quickest
and surest stomach
relief known.

Why not get some now this mo-
inert, and forever rid yourself of
stomach trouble and indigestion?
dieted stomach gets the blues and
grumbles. Give it a good eat, then
take Pape's Diapepsin to start the
digestive juices working. There will
be no dyspepsia or belching of gas or
eructations of undigested food; no
feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach or heartburn, sick headache
and dizziness, and your food will not
ferment and poison your breath with
nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only 80 cents
for a large case at any drug store
here, and will relieve the most OBJ
stinate case of indigestion and upset
stomach in five minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
gas from the stomach and cleanse the
stomach and intestines, and, besides,
one single dose will digest and pre-
pare for assimilation into the blood
all your food the same as sound,
healthy stomach would do 1t.
When Diapepsin works, your stom-
ach rests - gets itself in order, cleans
up - and then you feel like eating
when you come to the table, and what
you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
misery is waiting for you as soon as
you decide to take a little Diapepsin.
Tell your druggist that you want
Pape's Diapepsin, because you want
to become thoroughly cured this time.
Remember, if your stomach feels
out-of-order and uncomfortable now
you can get relief in five minutes.

upon the public highway. They have
no more legal right to give such per-
mission than they have legal right to
authorize robbery, arson, or any other
illegal act.
The Municipal League has long con-
sidered the advisability of entering
specific prosecutions for the clearing
of the streets of Harrisburg from
attention of thief District Attorney has
now been called to the lack of en-
forcement of the law.
1t ought to be noted that If this law
is to be enforced at all it must be en-
forced altogether. 1t is no more legal
to have a movie" sign than it is to
have the Red Cross sign. 1t is just
as illegal to stretch a political banner
across Market street as 1t is to put up
sign welcoming church people. The
streets are intended to be used for the
actual business of the people, and not
for any special advocacy. At great
effort poles and wires have been al
most entirely cleared away from our
main streets. The time is here. 1t is
believed, to go on with this work by
calling attention to the absolute
illegality of these signs, as we'll as to
their danger.
1t is hoped that attention may be so
called, not only in the publication of
this communication, but by the Dis
trict Attorney.
Yours truly,
J. HORACE M'FARLAND,
Secretary.

tention to the fact that all of these
constructions are entirely illegal, not
by virtue of any city ordinance which
can be altered by the city officials,
but in accordance with the plain and
undisputed provisions of a State law.
The act approved March 10, 1903,
specifically provides that no person
shall post, paint, brand or stamp, or
in any manner whatsoever place upon
or attach to any building, fence,
bridge, gate, outbuilding or other
object or upon any prop

The penalty prescribed in this act
is fine "of not less than five dollars
nor more than twenty dollars" More
than that, the illegal signs are de
clared to be a public nuisance and
may be removed and abated as such"

Harrisburg that the city officials could
