his name is r. J. Planer, Fred La
monte, or again Adolph Henry.
Last year he was employed by the
Stearns & White company, wholesale
chemists. He met Miss Rose Lud-
niger, a stenographer, married her,
and conducted her to his home, where
she met the other Mrs. Henry, also
the Henys' little Henry.
The two Mrs. Henrys lived in con-
tent and comity-Mrs. Henry No. 1
even accompanying Mr.. Henry and
Mrs. Henry No. 2 on the honeymoon
trip to Peoria. About this time the
Stearns & White company reported
to the police the disappearance of
800 worth of chemicals. They ac-
cused Henry.
Everything would have been all
right at that, because Henry was liv-
ing under the name of Lamonte, but
he decided to return to Chicago. He
rented rooms at 10 West Grand ave-
nue. and installed his establishment.
And then the two wives quarreled.
And one notified the police.

her gone life meant little to him.

The children, Ella Loretta, tod

Frederick, 4, were to be cared for by
Mr.. Corcoran's stepsister, with whom
he had some legal difficulties over the
settlement of his fathers will. Ac-

A Feeling of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

and excellence is maintained in every
bottle OF Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
It is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
