question continuously before you
is: How can | prevent It? How

The answer is easy. Take a
teaspoonful of pure Bi-nesia in
half a glass of hot water right aft
er eating or whenever pain is felt.
This will prevent or relieve diges-
ton troubles quicker and more
positively than anything else, and
best Of all is absolutely harmless.
Go to any good druggist today and

you personally know, stands back
of that guarantee.

Sunday marked the record in
gasoline sales for the Standard
Oil Co.'S station at Division and

This may, or may not, account
to some extent for the fact that
"speeders" sped too fast along
the city's streets. An even dozen
violators of the speed ordinance
were taken to police headquar-
tiers.
Some, officers allege, were clip

ROME, May 27.-The trial OF
q new count of Monte Cristo, :"
now in progress in Rome, has ere
ated extraordinary interest prin-
cipally by reason OF the fact that
Pope Benedict figures in it.
Count Luca Cortese of Naples,
whose splendid mode of life gave
him the title of Luke the Mag
nificent," is accused of defraud-
ing the Latium Central Credit
bank out of $1,25O,O00 by means
of worthless bills in sealed en-
velope.
The pope's interest in the case
arises from the fact that the
banks depositors consist largely
of Catholic peasants.
Wishing to prevent the failure
of the bank, the pope came for
ward and covered the deficit.
Count Luke created a sensation
by his testimony.
His profound studies in metem-
psychosis and other eastern lore,
he said, have led him to the con-
viction that he is destined to re-
store Italy to her ancient primacy
among nations.

Pretty Women Aid Fall
Of Magnificent Count"
On Trial in Rome for Fraud

He was remarkable Don
Juan. He Travelled over Italy
with retinue of beautiful
women and IA secretaries, who,
he said, attended only to the
formal part of his duties.
He was grand figure in aris-
tocratic society, and claims to
have dictated fine tone to the
morality of the Italian stage.
"Winsome smiles and passion
ate courtships of lovely ladies put
fresh life into me-" says Luke
the Magnificent.
He confessed naively that he
expected King Victor to name him
for the senate in recognition of
his patriotic propaganda.
He sponsored vast syndicate
schemes, being aided, it Is
charged, by an ex-magistrate. an
ex-mayor and Others, who are on
trial with him.
Several hundred witnesses,
among them many famous per-
sons, are to appear, and the trial,
which is arousing as much inter-
est in Italy as the Caillaux and
Bolo Pasha cases did in Paris, is
likely to last all summer.

GET IT FOR HIM
Says it is suicide to cut
colns and tells how
they lift right out.

You simply say to the drug
store man, Give me a quarter of
an ounce of freezone." This will
cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn
from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly up
on a tender. aching corn should
relieve the soreness instantly, and
soon the entire corn, root and all,
can be lifted out with the fingers
without pain.
This new way to rid ones feet
of corns was introduced by a Gin
cinnati man, who says that while
freezone is sticky it dries in a
moment, and seems to simply
shrivel up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.

had been told was forming in

No Lynching Threat
The rickety old Ford which had
carried Horner and the Bassett
family from Snoqualmie to Kelso,
and then had hurried back in the
same general direction to Seattle
with Horner following the muir
ders, also carried Horner and the
three officials to kalama.
Sheriff Studebaker now is pos
tive there would have been no
danger of a lynching at Kelso.
When he passed thru there with
the prisoner, Horner was subject
of a curious inspection by the
crowd, but no threatening re-
marks were made.
Written Confession
Sheriff Studebaker says he has
a written statement from Horner
confessing the crimes.
The details, so far as they have
been disclosed, do not tally in
many regards with the theory of
the crime as worked out by the
officers before the capture of
Horner.
Their theory was that Horner
premeditated the crimes and re-
moved all Identification marks
from the Bassett home, then
started southwark and killed the
whole family.
They based this largely on the
fact that nothing which obviously
would have identified the family
was left on or near the bodies,
and few Identification marks
we're left near the Snoqualmie
home. Also, Horner did obtain
a deed to the ranch before the
crimes were committed.
But Horner's alleged confess
sion, partially known, declared he
killed the Bassetts after a mid
night quarrel with Mrs. Bassett.

her. This does not jibe with the
IpiC-diIcst thcOilcS, WHICH were
that Horner killed the three while
they slept.
There were no signs of strug-
gle In the tent where the three
bodies were found.
Horner fastened back over the
Pacific highway, left the Ford at
North Bend garage and in
structed the garage owner to sell
the car and telegraph him the
money at his ranch in Okanogan
county. =
He had 4 sense of security
which may have rested on the
thot that he had removed ali
Identification traces and could
not be followed.
Horner continues to deny thai
he killed Fred Bassett several
years ago when Bassett was shot
while on a hunting trip with Hor.

PIGEONS as Carriers.

Pigeons have been used as messen-
gers for many thousands of years.
Dove is the AngloSaxOn name; pigeon
the Norman name. During the fifth
Egyptian dynasty, 5000 years before
Christ, it was the fashion to domesti-
cate pigeons and to train them as car
riers and messengers. The promptness
with which Caesar was informed of
the rebellion in Gaul, and thereby en-
abled to cross the Alps before those
uprising could possess the entire prov
ince. was due to the use of carrier
pigeons. In the Crusades, these birds

Why the Weather Bureau?

Why the weather bureau? This
question is likely to be asked, in more
or less querulous tones, whenever the
local weather prediction fails, as it
often does, says the Popular Science
Monthly. The inquirer overlooks the
fact that the weather bureau has much
more important things to foretell than
ordinary changes of weather. 1t pre-
diets with certainty great windstorms,
destructive floods, severe freezes and
other atmospheric visitations that en-
danger life and property on a large
scale and collects climatic statistics for
scientific agriculture.
