DECISION OF JUDGE
NUESSLE IN FAMOUS
MAN OF MYSTERY CASE

II think, gentlemen, I will announce
my finding as to the facts in this par
ticular matter at this time. This Is a
case which apparently, has aroused a
great deal of interest in this community,
a case of very great interest to this
plaintiff, who comes here nameless and
speechless and seeks to have, this very
important matter adjudicated, n to
this defendant. whose reputation and
good nan are more or less in question,
and very large property interests are
involved.
Ordinarily in making my finding on
the facts of a lawsuit I do so without
any particular statement or n %explana-
ton, but in view of the interest which
attaches to this particular case I am in.
clined to make somewhat Of a statement
at this time, and I realize that most
people. particularly judges, speak i'll ad;
p%reparation, and are very likely to mis-
State themselves, and particularly the
case in a matter such as this. It is very
bad practice to make an extended state
ment without very careful preparation

WILL INSTITUTE NEW
CITY TAXI SERVICE

W. H. Jones, who instituted an
automobile parcel delivery service a
few weeks ago, has added a taxi serv-
ice. which will operate both day and
night. A uniform charge of Is cents
per passenger to any part Of the city
will be made.
A taxi service is a convenience that
has long been needed in Dickinson,
and this new move on the part of
Mr.. Jones will undoubtedly meet with
encouragement by the people of the
city, as well as the travelling public.

An Effective Laxative
For Gro1uing Children
DR.. Ca1d,Uel]'s Syrup Peps;,,
Highly Recommended as
Family Remedy.

In children the slightest irregularity
of the bowels has n tendency to disturb
the entire digestive system, and unless
promptly remedied invites serious i'll
ness. The experienced mother knows
that by training her children to regu-
larity in this respect. and when occas-
ion arises administering a mild laxative.
she will have little need for the doctors
services.
Mrs. Leo Weigand. 3251 Central Ave,
n. S.. Pittsburg. Pa. whose two boys.
Frank and Joseph. are shown in the IL
lustration, writes that she has found
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin most ef-
fective laxative. not only for the chill
dren but also for herself. and that she
will always keep it in the house to use
when needed. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is a combination of simple lax
alive herbs with pepsin that acts cas-
lily and naturally. without gripping or
other pain or discomfort. II Is pleas
ant to the taste so that children like 1t,

Upas Tree Not Deadly.


Among the long-established beliefs
which have In recent years been sadly
disturbed is that of the deadly charac-
ter of the upas tree. The exhslations
Of this tree were held to be 50 deadly
that no animal life could survive with
in $50 feet of 1t. DR.. J. D. Gimlette, an
Englishman, who has lived among the
Malays for Is years, cites story that
when the poison from this tree Is want
ed by q Malay witch doctor twenty
condemned criminals are sent for it.
Usually only one or two return alive,
and these are pardoned. He says that
as q matter of fact. the deadly upas"
is largely fake; that the tree may be
chopped down in safety by anyone
with strong arm and keen ak. The
Malay smears his creese or arrow, says
the doctor. with the inspissated juice
Of the tree and II the wound Is deep
enough, the poison produces a toxic
effect on the heart similar to that pro-
duced by digitalis or by strophanthus,
. climbing vine of West Africa, which
yields an arrow poison which acts d.
rectly on; the muscles of the heart.

New DelleAcy.

A little girl In an Indiana town had
her own ideas about things, and two
Of these things were brains and sense.
Evidently she had always regarded
them as one and the same. Going to
the meat shop with an older member
of the family, she asked about the con.
tents of box on the counter, and was
told that the little compartments OF
the box contained brains. and that
they were taken from pigs heads.
Hurrying home she announced to the
other members Of the family: You

shop?---i was pigs Sense!"

Never Eat When 7ireo.

When one comes in tired it is abso.
Lutte madness to sit down straight
away to dinner; even if it is ready,
let it wait bit until one has washed,
freshened up and taken even a few
minutes rest: tired body will not al
low the stomach to do its business;

the man. not the man for the meals.
