lin, an officer of the Bohemian club,
where Ames has been employed as a
janitor, found the missing mkps night
shirt hidden away under a pile of laun-
dry that was to be sent out. This
night shirt was in a cupboard and it
is probably the garment that Ames
wore when he left his sick bed and
escaped from his home,
Mr.. Ames mother later identified
the garment as one of a pair that Mr..
Ames owned, and these are both at
her home now. How Anes could have
gotten into the club without being OBJ
served on the night he escaped is very
much of a mystery. There were mem
bers who had engaged in the search
for him in the club until a. m. at
least and many other people were
about the street practically all the
night.
The finding of the garment renews
the hope that Ames may yet be found
to be alive.

From the moment of birth.
and before-until the hour of
death, there is going on within
the body a constant conflict,
unseen and usually unfelt, be-
tween forces that seek to de.
fend, and others that strive to
destroy.
Germs that enter from without
are attacked and destroyed by
the living guardians in the
blood, the white blood cells or
phsgocytes. Poisons generated
within seek entrance into the
blood and are removed or de-
stroyed by the functions of the
intestines, liver and kidneys.
Food waste allowed to staens&e
and remain in the intestines,
unevacuated, poisons the blood
and destroys its power to de-
fend against outside or inside
enemies. Such self-poisoning
causes over 1920 of human
