THE WINE, GARCON.
Germany Expects to Have Unusually Large Yield of Bottled Joy.

Correspondence of the Asse. Press).
 Berlin, May 22.--The harvest predictions of an usually big yield of wine in Germany have been more than borne out by results. The official report just issued gives a production of 737,905 hectoliters of must in 1915, the greatest production of any year since the introduction Gin 1902) of the present wine law. In those thirteen years the production sank as low as s21S,264 hectoliters in 1903, and the famous year of 1911 brought but 537,- 197 hectoliters of must. .E-..e-
 The quality also was good. Of the white wines, 4 1 per cent. were ranked as "very good" 52 per cent. as 'good' and seven per cent. as medium Only 28,972 liters of the total consisted of red wines. Most of the white wines came from the Moselle, Saar and Ru- Wer districts, which contributed al- most three-fourths of the total. About 95,000 hectoliters came from the Rhine vineyards.
 The prices obtained were slightly be- low those of certain other years, but the total still reached 44,390,000 marks, the greatest on record, exceed ing even 1911. In 1914 the total was only 11,6S0,0O0 marks.
 The wine market however, con- tinues good, absorbing all offerings readily.

Reliable Laxative
 Relieved This Baby
Child was Badly Constipated Until Mother Tried
 Simple Remedy.

Tn spite of every care and atten- ton to diet. children are very apt to become constipated, a condition responsible for many ills in after life unless promptly relieved.
 Mrs. c. w. Wilson, of Shelbyville, Tenn, had trouble with her baby boy, Woodrow, until she heard of pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. She writes, II can safely say Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is the best rem edy of it's kind on earth. It acts so gently and yet so surely. Little Wood row was very badly constipated and we could find nothing that gave re- lief until We tried your Syrup Pep sin, which gave immediate relief
 Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is compound of simple laxative herbs, free from opiates or narcotic drugs, mild in action, positive in effect and pleasant to the taste. It has been prescribed by Dr. Caldwell for more than a quarter of a century and can now be had for fifty cents a bottle in any ll-stocked drug store. A

What To Do For
 Nervous Indigestion

When nerves go wrong they always seem to strike at your weakest spot. When this spot happen to be the stomach, nervous dyspepsia results, appetite vanishes and gives way to dull, dread, uneasiness and a hollow, gnawing feeling that keeps up until every nerve in your body seems on edge. The food you force down won't digest properly, and you're all in down and out for one day at least so far as being really useful to yourself or anyone else is concerned.
 It's the height of folly to force the digestion of food with some pepsin pill when the stomach nerves are in such shape Nervous indigestion comes from the nerves alone. Get the nerves right and all distress will vanish.
 Thanks to remarkable chemical discovery, it is now possible to feed the nerve cells with the exact stimulus they require when overworked and unstrung and a preparation called Margo Nerve Tablets is pro- ducing remarkable results in the treatment of Nervous Dy- spepsia, and other nerve disorders. They make a remarkable change in ten minutes by the watch, in many instances strengthening the stomach and charging the nerve cells with strength, poise, power, and tre- mendous reserve energy. and giving nerves of steel, a clear head and brain, courage power, quick wit, and real vital vim. Margo Nerve Tablets can not harm anyone. They contain no dope or dangerous habit-fornling drugs. Forty tablets come in a large package, and this is often enough to give lasting relief to even the most obstinate cases. Clark Ss Brainerd and other leading druggists every where are selling them with a posi- tive guarantee of satisfaction or money.

New Federal Game PRESERVE.

BY proclamation just issued Presi-
dent Wilson has made the Pisgah ma
tional forest, in western North Caro-
lima, federal game preserve.
This is the first federal game pre-
serve of its kind to be created east Of
the Mississippi river.
Deer, wild turkey and pheasants are
said to be plentiful, and herd of elk
and one of buffalo will be added this
winter.
Camping and fishing privileges Will
be arranged, but no cunning allowed
in the forest, the idea being to permit
the game to increase, drift out and re-
stock adjacent lands.
This is a good move, and will reflect
credit on the administration if the pro-
visions are carried out and the pre-
serve put under efficient guardianship

TWO SUSPECTS HELD
BROTHERS ARRESTED IN CON.
NEcTIoN WITH BECKER CRIME.
BIoodhounds Lead Posse to Homes of
Charles and John Thomas at
Mason City, III.

Mason City, H., Dec. 19.-Charles
Thomas twenty-eight years old, and
his brother, John Thomas, fourteen
years old, ere prisoners in the Mason
county Jail at Havana in connection
with the mysterious murder of Mr.. and
Mrs. John p. Becker, at their home
near here. Their arrest followed a day
of investigating and trail across coun-
try, led by bloodhounds.
The Thomas brothers, Charles. n
farmer md his brother, lad known
here as an incorrigible, protest their
innocence. They will be held pending
further investigation, and another ar
rest is expected to follow within "a
hours. The two men We're taken to
Havana by Sheriff w. S. Close and
States Attorney Nischwitz. No effort
was made to obtain their release on
bond.
The clues which led to the arrest of
the two brothers are as follows:
RloOdhounds, placed on the trail
early in the morning, went from the
scene of the murder to the home of T..
K. Thomas and then to the residence
of Walter Mangold, where John
Thomas was believed to have gone.
The dogs then went to the home of
Charles Thomas, who resides on the
Becker land, a short distance from the
scene.
Discharged cartridges found at the
foil 81 CHI.
in 14-shot 72-caliber rifle found in
the home of Charles Thomas.
Lead pellets taken from the bodies
of the victims also tailed with three
cartridges found not discharged in the
gun. Eleven empty cartridges were
FOUND. The rifle was owned by Charles
Thomas and had been used by John
Thomas while out hunting.
The supposition of authorities who
caused the arrest of the pair is that
the Thomas brothers, if they are guilty.
went to the Becker home and killed
the aged couple, then ran from the
scene of the tragedy, after failing in
an attempt to burn the home, to hide
their crime, and went to the North
western tracks some distance away.
They separated, it is believed, John
going to the home of his father, T. r.
Thomas, and Charles returning to his
home.
Robbery is now assigned as the mo-
tive for the crime. 1t is believed the
slayers escaped with at least $4,000,
of which no trace has been found
The aged people We're made to suf-
fer horribly before they were killed is
the belief of officials investigating the
case. Both the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Becker were mutilated and bruised.

FINDS SUCKERS IN PLENTY
New York Faker Makes Easy Money
Selling False Mustaches to the
CreduIous Public.

Every now and then a faker appears
on Broadway with false mustaches for
sale. The one he sports himself is
rather nobby hunk of hair and looks
quite natural as result of the way it
is pasted to his lip. He soon gathers
a crowd by offering a similar mus
tache for nickel. Scores of people
buy, planning a joke of some sort.
But the purchaser who does not then
and there open the little envelope con-
tanning the mustache will find later
on that he has been nicely guIled.
All that the envelope contains is a
wisp of coarse hair similar to that
used in upholstering furniture. There
is not even the Semblance of mus
tache forn-just tangled wisp. If
1t were disable at all it would make
about enough mustache to cover one
side of lip. Does the buyer seek out
the faker and demand his money
back? He does not, for he feels like
fool for having wasted his money on
material for third-rate piker's joke.
And besides, if the faker is not hunt
ed up Immediately he never will be
located. He doesn't care, for he has
no pride in his occupation nor perma-
nent standing. The inner circle Of
takers scorn such coarse work.-New
York Letter.
