the gun from the shelf, but also to put
it together and load ii with shell

quantity of ammunition on the high
shelf All of these operations could
not have been accomplished by any
person entering from the outside of
the house, even had he been aequaint-
ed with the place where the gun was
kept. On the other hand. it would
have been easy for any of the inmates
of the house to have taken the gun
from the shelf on the day preceding
the murder, or several days before,
and to have had it ready for use. with
out Mr.. Collins having discovered that
it was missing from the shelf.

heap little finely minced parsley.

sent to the state prison to await the
governors action in fixing the date

as 1t has always been the custom in
Kansas for the governor never to fix
the date for the execution of a person
found guilty of murder. the prisoners
are usually kept in the prison for an
indefinite period, and thus sentence
of death in Kansas usually amounts to
life term in the state penitentiary.
An effort has been made by friends
of the young man and by his family to
obtain pardon for him, but up to the
present time l understand that it has

the fact that a window screen in the

large enough for the passage of a hui

The conclusion at which the police
arrived was that the murderer must
have obtained a key to the house. by
means of which he gained admission
to the premises. and that. after hav-

up the main stairs from the lower hall
to the second floor. then proceeding

PROMINENT GEORGIA PHYSI-
CLAN NOW GIVES MASTER
MEDICINE HIS UNQUALIFIED
ENDORSEMENT

DR.. ]. T. Edwards, of Fayetteville
Ga, one of the best known members
of the medical profession in the state
of Geofgia, makes a statement that
will undoubtedly produce a profound
impression throughout the South.
"In my thirty years of active prac-
tice as a licensed physician in tt

Tanlac as a medicine to producing re

mending the medicine; and as a mat
ter of fact, l am prescribing it for my
patients almost every day
Only few days ago a well-known
woman of Fayetteville came to me
and told me about the remarkable
relief her daughter had gaind from the
use of this medicine. She said her
daughter had been confind to hr

to recovery.
But this is only one instance
People in all walks of life in and
around our little city are giving sim
liar Endorsements to the medicine
Seldom a day passes that someone
does not come to me and say some
thing about the good results they are
getting from the use of Tanlac.
Several unusual gains in weight
have been recorded by some of our
most prominnt people, and l have
treated some stubborn cases of indi-
gestion, catarrhal conditions, and or
ganic disorders and secured splendid
results with Tanlac.
Commenting upon this statement,
Mr.. G F. Willis, southern distributor
of Tanlac, said:
Coming from the nigh source it
does, and especially from a member
of the medical profession, this
straightforward uttrance of DR.. Ed
wards is more than recommendation
1t is a triumph! Tanlac( natures
great vegetable tonic, corrective and
system-builder. is truly on of the
greatest discoveries of the decade, and
tn best evidence of this is the confi7
dence and high esteem in which it is
held, not only by the great masses of
the people, but by leaders and public
men everywhere. No other medicine
has ever established the reputation
Tanlac has, nor has any other re-
eeived the high endorsement of med
ical men and laity."
