Nervous Period
ical Headaches

This trouble commonly called sick
headache, is said to be due to the re-
tention of urea in the system. often 1t
is stated that poor condition of the
blood is a cause of these headaches, or
that 1t is a nervous condition; and in
certain cases. no doubt this is true.
Where treatment is demanded, 1t is
more for the pain than anything else,
and DR.. A. F. Schellschmidt of Louis
willie, has found anti-kamnia tablets to
give prompt and satisfactory relief.
REST should be insisted upon," he says,
land the patient should go to bed, dark
en- the room, and all the attendants and
family should be as quiet as possible.
An emetic will sometimes shorten the
attack. The bowels should be kept
open and a hot bath and a thorough
rundown with a coarse towel, often
give grateful relief. Two anti-kamnia
tablets when the first signs appear. will
usually prevent the attack. During an
attack, one tablet every hour or two
will shorten the attack and relieve the
usual nausea and vomiting" These tab
let's may be obtained at all druggists.
Ask for Ak Tablets. They are also
unexcelled for nervous headaches, neu-
ralgia and all pains.

Waite went to his death without O
word or protest or goodbye. Three
shocks were administered within four
minutes. When the clergyman asked
the condemned man IL there was any

NO, thank you, doctor. There really

who confessed that he had poisoned
his wealthy father-in in the ex-
pectation that his wife would obtain
a large share Of the wealthy Mr.. Peck's
estate, seemed to look upon his APP
preaching doom as a wonderful adven-
ture.
New York, May 24.-Dr. Arthur
Warren Waite, dentist and tennis
player of repute, was convicted on
June 1. 1915. OF poisoning his wealthy
father-in-law, John r. Peck of Grand
Rapids, Mich, at the swiftest trial of
a sensational murder case in this
county in years. The crime Is best
attorney, Edward Swami, who told the
jury: THE cause of this deed was
solely the desire for money. There
were no angry passions involved, no
sex relation, no envy, hatred or malice;
nothing but the purpose Of obtaining
easy money"
The murder was exposed through a
mysterious telegram signed tx.
Adams" sent to Percy Peck at Grand
Rapids brother of DIR. Waite's wife,
suggesting an autopsy and reading
suspicious aroused-demand autopsy"
The authorities took up tile case and
an autopsy showed Mr.. Peck had died
from arsenic poisoning.
DR.. Waite confessed to the district
attorney that heha bought arsenic
three days before the death of his
father-in law on March IL, but said he
had done SO on request Of the elderly
man who told him he wished to COM
NIT suicide as he was Respondent over
the death of his wife, who died on
January 80, twenty days after she had
arrived at DIR. Waite's home here. To
bear out this statement DIR. Waite
tried to bride a former negro servant
to testify that she knew of Mr.. Peck's
desire to commit suicide.
AS the evidence against him began
to accumulate DR.. Waite made an I'M
successful attempt to kill himself by
an overdose of drugs. For several days
he lay in a. stupor lowering between
life and death.
II was brought out at the trial that
a few hours after DIR. Waite married
Miss Clara Peck he complained to her
about the money settlement made on

these men should be allowed to return
to Russia. On the same train which
carried the Russian party to San
Francisco were twenty-six men from
the University of Minnesota Marine
Reserve corps, en- route to somewhere
on the Pacific coast for duty"
"But do you not stop to think of the
great numbers Of United States boys
who will lose their lives in the final
attempt to crush Prussianism, If Rus
STA withdraws and a greater burden
is thrown on the nations lighting Ger
many?" queried McKaig.
I'VE do not care. We will not lose
our lives, and the United States had
no business entering the war;" reiter-
ated the speaker.
Not Married-But.
Summing up the whole affair" said
Mr.. McKaig, I found that of the nine
ty-one men and fifteen women in the
party, not one was married, yet they
had forty children more. or less. They
confided to me that they do not believe
In marriage. What Is more they do
not believe in God because. God
wouldn't let Russia have this grief
they have had for centuries IL there
There are 1000 more of these peo-
pie who are now en- route, or perhaps
preparing to leave for Russia. and for
what ITO force Russia out Of the war
They are the kind of people whom the
Russian peasants will look up to as
the Russian peasant believes the Unit
ed States the greatest nation in the
world, and will accept as gospel the
statements of these radicals who have
the prestige Of having lived in Ameri-
ca"
One Of the most striking of the
statements made was brought out In
the following manner:
II notice that while you fellows are
leaving the United States from the
west end, the government is sending
Mr.. Root and his delegation across the
Atlantic for conference with the Rus
sian government heads. to arrange a
cooperation with your government, !"
offered McKaig.
Going to Fix Root.
''We'll fix Root when we get there.
He Is the man who tried to get the
extradition treaty through congress-.
If he had succeeded the Russian gov
eminent could have forced us all back
to Russia to spend our lives Shaving
in the Serbian mines, or to be execut-
ed. Well fix Root" was the damning
admission made.

ian mines as punishment for political
belief" was the answer OF a big burly
bewhiskered Russian"
Having watched the Russian situa-
ton closely in so far as the reports
have been published in the newspapers
and the magazines and realizing the
vital Importance to the United States
of a settlement in Russia, and the
continuation of that great nation in
the war, McKaig interviewed perhaps
dozen Of the party, and learned there
were ninety-one men, fifteen women
and thirty five or forty children. They
were not the class of Russian peasants
one finds upon the homesteads of
North and South Dakota Minnesota,
Montana, and other western states.
Well Educated Russians.
The men In the party, women too,
were well educated Russians. Some of
them had escaped from Siberian mines
and prison camps, others had escaped
from Russia itself following arrest for
political ideas.
Il asked them what they intended to
do" said McKaig.
To Force Peace in Russia.
"One spoke up. We are going back
to Russia to help put down the
aristacracy and to force Russia,to make
peace. We do not believe in War and
we want peace. There are 1000 more
in the United States who will be going
home for the same purpose"
But do you think England and
France will make peace with Ger
many?" asked McKaig.
1--WE do not care" was the answer
Of the spokesman of the party. 'Tf
England and France will not make
peace with Germany, we will force
Russia to make a separate peace"
How long have you been in the
United States?" was asked.
Some of us for year or more,
some for az high as twenty years.
And do you think it right that you
should work against the United States
which has entered this war In a cause
of liberty throughout the world? Do
you think that you can help the nation
which has given you home, an
asylum, by helping to stir up the strife
in Russia? Do you think that getting
Russia out of the war will crush that
militaristic monarchism which you
hate so greatly?" asked McKaig.
Against War of Any Kind.
I'VE do not care" came the answer,
THE United States had no business
getting into this war. We are against
war of any kind"

dent said:
