BLEYER'S FATHER
CRUSHED BY NEWS
CoIIapses on Return From Cuba
When Told Son Died With
Ruth Randall.

CHICAGO, March ls.-Col Charles
r.. Bleyer has returned to Chicago,
but not "home." Bereft OF his only
son, clifford, whom the coloneis
friends say was the Inspiration OF
his declining years and his constant
companion, Chicago no longer means
"home" TO the grief-stricken father.
IL was an agile old gentleman thst
Polk street station and pleasantly
greeted the two friends there to meet
him, His features were overcast
with sadness. The colonel knew OF
his cherished sons death, but IL wac
evident he had not yet learned the
circumstances.
Ixasrant OF Romance.
The father had not been informed
that his boy had been Q principal In
one OF the most startling dual slay-
ings OF record in Chicago's criminal
history. Until this time he had been
spared the "details OF Captain Bleyers
romance with Ruth Randall, which
eliminated in the tragedy In her
apartments.
Colonel Bleyer was spending a mid
winter respite with friends at Santi-
ago, Cuba, at the time OF the slay-
ing. Fellow members OF the Union
League Club Immediately cabled the
fact OF his sons death, but avoided
giving the complete information for
fear the elder Bleyer could not sur
vive the shock.
Met by His Frienss.
A. C. Torbet, an associate club
member, and Roger futile, secretary
OF the Bleyer Advertising Agency,
were at the station to meet the colo
mel. That they might break the
cruel news more gently by them
selves. they hastily escorted him to a
waiting taxicab.
En- route to the Union League Club
the father was told. He emerged
from the taxicab a stopped. detected
old man. Only with the ready sup
port OF his friends was he able TO
mount the steps to the club. First
broken in spirit, he was now broke n
in physical strength. .
He suffered complete nervous
breakdown and was later removed
to the home of friend. No one was
permitted to see him.
Colonel Bleyer is completely
crushed by this terrible blow" said
Mr.. Torbet some time later. He can
scarcely think. much less talk"
After an examination Of the patient
the club physician said: The sud
dcnness of the news and the natural
WEAKNESS from the hasty return trip

I. Whooping cough is the mean
est" disease that childhood Is
heir to. While rarely fatal in
itself, except to. children under
two years of age, still it hangs on
so long-the coughing paroxysms
are so violent, preventing proper
sleep and digestion-that when
the disease does disappear it
leaves the child weakened and
run down. =. In addition the
violent coughing racks and strains
the air passages and after re-
covery this irritation frequently
remains. '-''..
! During this period of conyal-
4escence the child should be most
carefully watched until full
strength is restored and the air
passages regain their normal tone.

with whooping cough than with
any other disease" -,
