LEWIS SUICIDE
 CLEARS MYSTERY
 MODELS MURDER
Police Still Seeking Motive of Man Who Killed Col
 bert Girl.

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-The motive for the murder is all that remains tonight to clear the mystery surrounding the el, in her apartments here last week, in the opinion of the police.
 The suicide of Bernard w. Lewis. son of a wealthy retired coal dealer of Pittsburg at Atlantic City las. night, has convinced detectives thr the young man was responsible 10 2the girls death. They belive thes young man struck down the girl With q blow from a blunt instrument, and fled after strangling her with stock ing.
 While the general belief of the de- tectives is that Lewis was financially embarrassed and may have been driven to strangle the young woman to secure funds, the supposition that his mind was unbalanced is also given credence. A diamond ring taken from the dead girl is still missing.
 Some of the circumstances point to Lewis as the slayer of the young wo- man were his possession of blood stained handkerchief, strands of hair clutched in the dead girls hand match ed that of Lewis; he wore woman's silk undershirt, a duplicate of others found in Miss Colbert's effects; his hands were scratched as tho a strug gle and preceded his suicide, a curtain cord similar to the one torn from her apartments was found in Lewis ef- fleets; a memorandum book found in Lewis pocket contained card bear ing Miss Colbert's telephone numA ber, and he was indentified by Ebert Howell as the man he had driven ina taxicab to Miss Colbert's apartments last Friday night.
 The Kyle sisters said today they had accompanied Lewis to teas, dances and theatres Friday and Saturday nights, and on Sunday Lewis accom- panied them to church. All this time. the police say, the girl was lying dead in her apartment.

"California Syrup of Figs" can't Harm Tender Stomach or
 Bowels.

A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue, mother! If coated. or your child is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless. doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ail- ment, give teaspoonful of "Cali- fornia Syrup of Figs" then don't worry, because it is Lsrfectly harm less, and in a few hours all this con- stipation poison, sour bile and fer menting waste will gently move out of the bowels. and you have a we'll, playful child again. A thorough "in' side cleansing" is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness.
 Beware of counterfa.t fig syrups. Ask your druggist for 5O-cent bot tie of "California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Con- any."-Advt,

PRO. FORCES HOPE
 TO SWEEP NATION

Washington. Jan. 6.--Thc Prohibit ton party hopes that some steps look ing toward the unification of the tenn peranc" and prohibition forces of the nation for the advancement of prohi- hition as q political issue may Inc taken here Monday. On that day the Ma tional Temperance council, gather ing including the Anti-SaIoon leag of America the Prohibition party, the W. (. T. IL, and other organizations. is to meet to canvass the situation.
 The Prohibtionist5 are much en- couragod by the recent statement of Dr. P. A. Baker. superintendent of the Anti-SaIoon league, pointing 10 national action. Similar sentiments are expressed by Virgil C. IjinshaW, chairman of the Prohibition antonai committee, who has given out state- mont setting, forth the present situa- tion as follows:
 "PcrhapS up to tho present time conditions have no' been suitable for a notification of all the tcmprancc forces. The time has always been ripl for co ordination, but maybe not fer anifi- cation, inasmuch as each organiZa- tion &eebS to haze been doing a Vcly necessary work of it's own. Hut now l believe the time has come for com pletc unification of all the temper ance and prohibition organizations in Acmrica. If we can get from 5,O00,- GOO to 10000, ,0O0 voters to ioiu in the statement issued by Dr. Baker, to the effect that no political party not stand ing committed by platform dcclara- tion to prohibition, should have the support fthc Aemrican elcctroatc in 1920. we will be able 10 sweep the na- tiOn"
