[United Press Leased Wire Service.l
MOUNT AYR, Ia, July 11.-When
the trial of Roy Emerson, charged
with the murder of his mother, Mrs.
Kate Emerson, was resumed today
Walter Matlock, an embalmer in the
Emerson undertaking establishment
at Creston, was recalled to the stand.
Matlock, who took the stand yes
terday, corroborated the most dam
aging evidence against Emerson thus
far, prosecution attorneys said to-
day. He testified that the accused
man often quarreled violently with
his mother.
On the day that Mrs. Emerson was
found dead, Matlock said, Roy was
standing in the basement, fifty feet
from the elevator, and in darkness,
when he suddenly said to the wit
ness:
Walter, come here My God, there
is my mother"
Matiock testified he could see moth
ing. The son started walking to the
elevator. Matlock then saw form,
Mrs. Emerson until later.
There was no blood where we
were standing" said Matlock, "but
there were blood stains on the ele.
vator floor"
Matlock said Emerson told him
some time before Mrs Emerson S
death that he believed his mother
was going to commit suicide.
Emerson asked Matlock to get a
bloody rubber blanket and clean II
after he had been placed in Jail, Mat
lock swore. The witness said he
could not remember having used such
a blanket for an embalming case.

LILLIAN WON'T REMOVE
HER HUSBANDS BOOTS
War Bride, Suing for Divorce, Says
Task Is Distasteful.

DETROIT, Mich.-One month af-

bride of William Dewstow, July 27,
1918, William, returning from where
his regiment was encamped, it is al

his military boots for him.
Lillian replied that she "did not
consider it BETTING to her position
as wife to comply with her hus-
bands request as long as he was
physically able to remove his own
shoes"
A quarrel followed during which
neighbor telephoned military au-

to come to the Dewstow home and
take William to the armory. Recently
Lillian filed bill for divorce at the
county clerks office through her at

HUMOR IN ADVERTISING
SWELL BANK ACCOUNTS

it was originated, but nevertheless
always within direct or inferentlal
reference to them.
T. A. Snyder was a good advertls-
err and did a profitable business. Like
Henry j. Heinz he capitalized good
household product and made money
out of it, but he did not originate an
advertising phrase which travelled
from lip to lip and from column to
column without cost to the business
it represented. Neither of these sue
cessful men had the benefit of the
enormous amount of free advertising
which has come to a well-known De
troit manufacturer not as a result
of the genius of a phrase maker IN
the advertising department, but be-
cause of a very nearly universal dls-
position to crack good-natured
Joke in commentator of a cheap but
effective device. The Detroit manu-
facturer stand alone as recipient OF
free advertising. The experience OF
Heinz illustrates the happy capltall-
cation of a product. The phrase
might not have travelled as far and
as long had not the name 'Heinz"
falling upon the Anglo-Saxon ear
caused humorous reaction, and pos
sibly if the late Mr.. Heinz had been
more self-conscious or less alive to
the value of humor as advertisement
he might have regarded the humor-
Gus employment of his advertisement
resentfully. 1t is not of record that
he voiced a protest against popu-
lar disposition which turned money
into his Golfers.

SEVERAL NATIONAL BUSINESS.
ES HAVE PROSPERED WHILE
READERS SMILED. THE CAT
SUP AND PICKLE KINGS.

Henry ]. Heinz, pickle magnate,
began with the surplus of back
yard garden which he was energetic
enough to cultivate in piping times
of peace. When he died he was the
employer of thousands of men and
women and the proprietor of a bus
mess which yielded him such profits
that he was very wealthy man.
The late 7. A. Snyder, of Cincin.
natl, catsup magnate, began in a
small way marketing tomato catsur
which his wife made and which the
neighbors esteemed. He retired from
active participation in business wher
he was not an old man and devoted
himself TO yachting, travel in for.
eign countries and to motoring when
motoring became a national pastime
He did not grow as rich as Mr.. Heinz
Mr.. Heinz, like Mr.. Snyder, no
doubt owed his inspiration to domes-
tic success in treating the products
of the garden. He had one advantage
over Mr.. Snyder. The name 'HeinZ'
in connection with pickles happened
to hit the funny bone of the Ameri-
can people and Henry Heinz was the
recipient of highly profitable adver-
Using for which he did not pay. The
comic opera song, Heinz Is Picked
Again." did not bear directly upon
the qualities of the pickles Mr.. Heinz
sold. In fact, it did not come nearer
the Heinz stock in trade than it came
to the famous peck of picked pep
pers Peter Piper picked. Neverthe-
less, ditty dealing with the drunk
enness of character sung, not wept
or honored, upon the musical come
dy stage was good advertising for
a good business man The fifty
seven varieties" was a commercial
idea, but it was adapted easily to
the mood of current humor and the
phrase flowed freely from pen to pen
and tongue with benefit to its Origi-
nator.
The career of Henry J. Heinz il
Illustrates also the great value of an
advertising idea or phrase which
transcends the common purpose of
advertising and achieves popularity
which results in its being repeated
gratis until it becomes a part of the
speech and writing of the period.

him gained a good deal of free adj

is always well to bear in mind that
nothing is more powerful in argu-
ment than humor, and that it is true
almost equally that nothing is more
valuable to advertisers than an idea
or a phrase which strikes the public
humorously and is employed, not in
praise of the wares in behalf of which

Says a glass of hot water and

and keeps US fit.

Just as COAL when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomaine-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out OF
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen

Those who are subject to sick head
