SUSPECTS GIVE NO CLUE
Full Confession of Unexpected
Plot to Kidnap Jeweler.
Large Corps of Federal Detec-
tives Now at Springfield.

Springfield, Mo, June THE most
severe crossfire of questioning which
lasted almost the entire night had
early this morning failed to weaken
to any considerable extent the stories
told by the two women and five men
under arrest in connection with an
uneXecuted kidnapping plot.
The officers are searching for at
least three other men but it is claim
ed by former employers of these men
that the developments cannot connect
them in any way with the disappear
ance of Baby Lloyd Keet. The prison
ers, some of whom have confessed to
listening to two kidnapping plots, but
of whom all have denied being the in
stigator of the plots, are under close
guard at the county Jail. 1t is believ-
ed now, however. that the chain which
the authorities are trying to forge to
connect this party with the Keet kid
mapping is so broken that suspicion
should be diverted from all of them.
All talk of mob violence has ceased
altho it was freely rumored that rough
treatment might be given members of
the Adams family and the other men
who are in custody until their stories
more closely tally.
The Whereabouts of Baby Keet was
a mystery today when watchers at
the home stated that theru were no
developments. An all night vigil had
been kept by members C the family.
Suspects Yarns Don't Tally.
The confessed but not executed
plots, have for their alleged victims,
in some confessions, an unnamed St.
Louis munition firm, or agent. The
other confessions set forth the details
of a plot to kidnap c. A. Clement, a
grown, married and wealthy young
jeweler, head of the c. A. Clement

Most Efficient.

The message of the officer was de-
livered straight from the shoulder to
the fathers of young men in the army
and fathers of young men who will
be in the army. before the war is over.

Major Ruby Garrett, Missouri signal
corps, national guard, declared that he
and other officers would take young
men thru the war and bring them
back home with the same high ideals
of manhood they possessed upon leav-
ir : if the fathers would see to it that
moral assistance in the shape of Y.
NJ. C. AS in army camps are pro-
vided.
Major CARROTS address was deliv-
cred as one of the efforts which are
being made by the state Y. NJ. c. A.
to raise $4,000 in Topeka for estab-
lishment of Christian associations in
army camps. Seventy-five thousand
dollars are to be raised in Kansas.
The campaign to place such organiza-
lions in all military posts and camps
is nation wide.
Work on Border.
The army officer told of the work
accomplished by the Christian asso-
citation workers on the border while
he was stationed there. First a work
er by the name of West came into
the majors camp and announced that
he was going to board with the Off
GERS. They admired his nerve and
someone remarked that he was a nice
girl. After the third meal the bat
talon adopted the worker for the
high moral effect that he had on the
men in building up their manhood.
Major Garrett told of a young Ala
bama cavalryman, a master of pro-
family, who was converted into a sec
ond Billy Sunday among the troops.
They used to talk of the man be-
hind the gum" said Major Garrett
now its the manhood behind the gun
No army can be efficient in a fighting
way unless it is morally efficient.
Make Men Moral.
Most fathers would rather see their
sons come home without an arm or
leg than to see them come home suf-
fering from some terrible ailment. Of
ficers of the army Will take men away
with high ideals and bring them back
with high ideals if those at home will
help place moral assistance in camps
Major Garrett was preceded at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon today
by Henry J. Allen, editor of the Wich-
tia Beacon, who made a short talk
Allen endorsed the Y. NJ. c. A. in army
camps, and made a plea for the work
to be made more extensive.

Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make De-

 Per Cent Stronger in Two Weeks

 NEW YORK, N. Y.,--Most people foolishly seem to think they are going to get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine, se- cret nostrum or narcotic drug, said Dr. Sauer. specialist who has studied widely both in this country and Flu rope, when, as a matter of fact, real and true strength can only come from the food you eat. But people often fail to get the strength out of their fod because they haven't enough iron in their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened. nervous condition they know something Is wrong, but they cont tell what, so they generally com- meace factoring for stomach liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ailment caused by the lack of iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you are not strong or we'll, you owe 1t to yourself to make the following test. See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous rundown peo- pie who were ailing all the while. double and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen
