Bad Teeth Mean
Bad Health

Nowadays physicians accredit
many common diseases to bad
teeth or the improper care OF
them.
Decayed food that finds it way
from the teeth to the stomach
easily enters the blood current.
Neuritis. sclatica, acute appen-
dicitis. diseases Of the gall, blad-
der and liberated stomach are
natural results of tooth infections.
Even if it is only to have them
scaled an d properly brushed.
Have W. B. Burkett tell you their
true condition.
REMEMBER!
DELAY MEANS DECAY and
decay waits on no man. A few
days will give a cavity full of
seething decayed matter time to
get beyond the control of the den
fist. Do not hesitate-painless
methods protect you.

was dispelled yesterday when the
Moline police. at the instance OF
Police Magistrate Gustafson, put
the woman ON q train bound for
New York state.
Blomme was arrested last week
upon complaint Of Canadian au-
thorities, in which it was specified
that Blomme had deserted his two
small children in Swan Lake, and
that his companion had left heI
husband and five children.
After his arrest Blomme was
held lending further investigation.
After the woman was seen safely
aboard train yesterday afternoon
the man was fined costs amounting
to $40. and given his freedom.
Leniency in this case, which Is
said to have involved grave
charges, is attributed to the fact Of
minor children dependent upon the
man and woman. The authorities
waived prosecution and did all in
their power to right the mistakes
of the couple.
Blomme did not leave town, his
sister in Swan Lake having agreed
to care for his children. His late
companion is said to have gone tt
visit relatives in New York. with
the understanding that later she
will send for her children.

WOMAN ASKING
CASH BALMFOR
LOSS OF Lover


Trial Of the suit OF Mrs. M6fy
Mullen Of Peoria to recover $1,000
damages from John c. Gardner Of
Viola for alleged breach Of promise
to marry is In progress in the cir
cult court in Aledo.
Mrs. Mullen is So years old and
her one-time sutton is "a. They
met at Grand Army encampments
several tines while Mr.. Gardnef's
first wife. who died in 1916, was
still alive.
Mr.. Gardner is said to have first
showed Mrs. Mullen marked atten-
ton in 1918, and on April 81. 1918,
he asked her to marry him. His
exact words" testified Mrs. Null
len yesterday on the witness stand.
were: Martha, will you be my
wife? I said, oh, this is so sud
den,' and then he told me how
much he cared for me, and told
him l loved him. He said if he
couldn't have me he didn't want
any woman. He told me how much
money he was worth, said he had
two 8O-acre tracts of land, and
stock in the Farmers Elevator
company at Viola. He also said
that he had money in the bank and
stock in the bank at Viola. / told
him l didn't want a rich man, just
some one to love me and who
would appreciate me and give me
a good home"
The two are said to have been
engaged from April. 1918, until Au-
gust, 1919. Mrs. Mullen testified
that she had told her son and
daughters and several of her init
mate friends of the coming mar
rage and that she had talked it
over with Mr.. Gardner's daughter
Edith at Viola.
In October, 1919, Mrs. Mullen
says, she received letter from
Mr.. Gardner stating that he was
going to lead a quiet life and that
he was through with her. That
was the last she heard from him
until she learned through other
sources that he had married his
first wife's cousins widow, Mrs.
Lily Mcconnell Of Chicago. She
said that Mr.. Gardner had always
been just wonderful to her and had
been so affectionate that she never
dreamed of his doing such a thing,
but thought that it was all due to
his family, who did not approve of
their marriage.
Twenty-three letters which we're
introduced into court yesterday
will probably play an important
part in the suit. Mrs. Mullen said
that they were only a few of the
letters which he had written her.
but that she had not kept them
all. They dated through the en-
gagement and had various saluta-
lions from ardent my Dearest
Girl" to a less affectionate Dear
Friend" The endings varied also,
ranning from a mere platonic
yours truly" to Tots Of love-" AL
though the contents Of the letters
were not read in court yesterday.
they are said to contain promises
Of marriage to Mrs. Mullen. The
cooling of the one-time suitor's az
fections could hardly be traced
through the dates Of the letters.
