Money and Curios
Found in Loo Cabin

When w. L. Owen recently tore
down an old house erected more than
a hundred years ago he found some
real curiosities. The house was
originally built Of logs, and had been
lathed and plastered. When this
was torn off at one place, two SIS
gold pieces, coined in 1886, rolled
out In addition to- these, an old
hand-hammered Indian scalpinY
knife, still in the remnants of its
leather scabbard, fastened together
with lead rivets, was found.
There was also uncovered a pair
of pants made of hand-woven linen
and decorated with brass buttons
that looked like our present-day s.
gold pieces.

Mother Tries to Kill
Self and Three Children

In a fit of irrational dependency,
Mrs. Lila Vance, of Olathe, Kan, sew
eral days ago drowned three of her
children and attempted to drown her
self and a fourth child, baby in
arms.
The fortunate appearance of her
husband, Leonard r. Vance, saved
her life and that of the youngest
child, but investigat ton of the deep
cistern of water from which the wife
and baby were rescued disclosed the
three bodies of the other little chill
dren.
Mrs. Vance had a severe attack Of
influenza last winter which left her
in slightly deranged state of mind.
She planned the suicide and the
death of her children very method
ically, leaving a pitiful little note
saying that she never hoped to be
we'll and urging her husb9nd to cheer
up and find what happiness he could
in life. She signed it Your unintelli-
gent wife,
When the husband came in to din
ner that day he found the top of the
cistern off, and on glancing into the
we'll saw his wife and baby in the
water. Not until later did he learn
that the other three children were
dead.
Every effort was made to revive
them, but it was too late. The wife
and baby, however, are recovering.

be sure to look on the label and see that the
words NUXATED IRON are printed there
on.
There are thousands of people taking iron
who do not distinguish between organic
iron and metallic iron and such persons
often fail to obtain the vital energy, strength
and endurance which they seek simply be-
cause they have taken the wrong form of
iron. If you are not strong or well, you
owe it to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work or how
far you can walk without becoming tired
Next take two fve-gran tablets of Nuxated
Iron three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength and see
how much you have gained.

instances as these have led physicians men
