her mothers Imagination.
There is no truth I'm il what
ever"
This was the testimony of Mrs.
Gertrude Robertson, Christian
Science practitioner, recalled
Wednesday morning in the trial
of Mrs. Rose Adult in Superior
Judge Cards court for attacking
Mrs. Robertson with a revolver as
a result of story told her by her
daughter, OF having been wronged
in Mrs. Robertson's house.
There is absolutely no
truth I'm the story. l never

house over night while Ma
rie was there"
This was the statement OF
Frank Boyd. the young man whom
the girl accused jointly with Mrs.
Robertson.
Mrs. Robertson's story of her
acquaintance with Mrs. Adult, of
Marie's coming to stay with her,
and of what followed, was in
many details exactly contradic-
tory of that told by Mrs. Adult
Tuesday afternoon.
According to Mrs. Robertson,
she was the one who made the
stipulations that Marie should not
go to picture shows, should have
no boy friends, etc; she did not
behave in threatening manner
toward Mrs. Adult at the time of
the accusation; and it was she
who asked that Marie be taken
home.
Boy on Stand.
Marie was not interested in
her studies. She seemed to be
| in a dream most of the time,
said Mrs. Robertson.
She also said Mrs. Adult had
told her Marie was not like her
self; that she was very fond of a
boy in Sumner, and that she was
not acting naturally. The prac-
titioner said she believed Marie
had got GONE notion from a book
she was reading, which had made
her have such a dream.
Frank Boyd, young, slight,
fair, 81 years old, testified that
he is not a chauffeur but an auto
mobile salesman for Jesse S.
Jones.
He lives at 500 East 53rd street,
and is the son of James T. Boyd,
foreman at the st. Paul single
mill. lie said Mrs. Robertson
has been a friend of the family
| for three years, and that she ask
ed him to teach Marie how to run
the ear, instead of teaching her
self. He and Marie were only
alone in the car on two occa-
sions, he said-once when Marie
insisted on going with him when
he was taking the car to Mrs.
Robertson's office, and once when
Mrs, Adult had got out OF the
car to walk from Pacific City to
her home, and left them to return
to Tacoma alone.

IN THE SPRING
When Energy and Vitality Are
at the Lowest Ebb
Or. s. c. BOWER, NJ. d.

At this time of the year people
feel weak, tired. listIess, their
blood is thin. they have lived in
doors and perhaps expended all
their mental and bodily energy
and they want to know how to re-
new their energy and stamina,
overcome headaches and back
aches, have clear eyes, a smooth,
ruddy skin and feel the exhilara-
ton of real good health tingling
thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best in
surance against ills of all kinds.
Almost all diseases come from
impure and impoverished blood.
1t is to be noticed in the pale or
pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the IistIess manner.
Purify the blood and you will
learn the Joy of living. This is the
time to clean house and freshen
up bit. First, stimulate the liver
into a thorough house-cleaning by
taking purely vegetable laxative
made up and extracted from May
apple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap,
made into a Pleasant Pellet, first
put up by DIR. Pierce nearly so
years ago and sold by druggists.
Drink hot water a half hour
before meals, and for a vegetable
tonic there's nothing better than
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, the oId-fashioned herbal
remedy, which has had such a
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t
contains no alcohol or narcotics.
1t is made from Golden Seal root,
Bioodroot, Oregon grape root,
Queens root, Black Cherry bark
extracted with glycerine and
made into tablets and liquid. If
druggist does not keep the tablets
send ST. 90 to DIR. Pierce's InvaIids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
The pain of neuralgia is the cry
of the starved nerves for food.

and you cure the disease. In or
