WAS BADLY RUNDOWN
FROM PNEUMONIA
Mrs. Washburn quickly reeained her
strength and flesh.

IT had grippe, followed by pneumonia.
1t left me with a terrible soreness in my
chest, constant pain in my throat and so
weak and nervous I could neither eat nor
sleep. I had a chill every morning.
One day a young man told me how
Milks Emulsion had got him out of bed
and built hin up after he had been re-
duced to a skeleton and given up by the
doctors. So I tried 1t. I have gained
in strength, appetite and flesh, sleep bet
ter than I have for years, am doing all
my own work again and feel like a new
person.
"The beauty about Milks Emulsion is
that it doesn't wear out like most things,
and is so pleasant to take. 1t is a food
as well as a medicine and builds up the
blood and tissues. It surely put new
blood in my veins and I have the health
lest color I ever had."-Mrs. M. WASH
burn, Ell Centre, Cal.
1t costs nothing to try Milks Emulsion.
It will build you up more quickly, more
surely than anything else.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant, nutritive
food and a corrective medicine. 1t re-
stores healthy, natural bowel action, pro-
notes appetite and puts the digestive
organs in shape to assimilate food.
Chronic stomach trouble and constipation
are usually relieved in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion made,
and so palatable that it is eaten with q
spoon like ice cream.
No matter how severe you case, you
are urged to try Milks Emulsion under
this guarantee-Take six bottles home
with you, use it according to directions,
and if not satisfied with the results your
money will be promptly refunded. Price

trial of Augusta Pasquale on charges
of kidnapping Blakely Coughlin and
later swindling the child's father of
$4,000 upon promise to restore the
baby, recalls one of the most daring
and unscrupulous acts in criminal
history.
On the morning of June, the pub

earlier a stepladder had been placed
against the second story window of
the Coughlin summer home in Curran
Terrace and the 13 months old blue
eyed Blakely stolen. A little whimper
had been heard by Mrs. George H.
Coughlin, his mother, who asked her
husband to go into the adjoining
room to see whether Blakely was i'll.
Coughlin found the crib empty. The
ladder leaning against the house furn-
ished the only evidence that it was
an act of premeditated kidnapping.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - The
White House today made public the
official version Of President Wilson's
az iress at the eighth plenary ses-
sion of the Paris peace conference.
The exact wording of his address has
been subject of controversy be-
tween the president and Senator
Spencer, republican Of Missouri, whe
quoted from what he said was a re-
liable transcript and gave the presi-
dents words as follows:
"You must not forget that it is
force that is the final guaranty Of the
peace of the world. If the world is
again troubled the United States will
send to this side of the ocean their
army and their fleet"
The White House official version
gives the wording as follows:
How can power like the United
States for example-and I can speak
for no other-after signing this
treaty if it contains elements which
they do not believe will be permant
go 5000 miles away across the sea
and report to it's people that it msda
a settlement of the peace. of tbs

there underlies all Of these transac-

example of Rumania and of Czechc'.
Slovakia and Serbia that if any Of
the covenants of. this settlement arp
not observed the United States will
send her armies and her navies 70

CLEAR BLOCKADE
Manager POntius Says Serious
Trouble in CmrisO Gorge,
Which has Caused Suspension
of Traffic, Has Been Cleared
AUay.
Especial to The Press)

SAN DIEGO, Calf, October IL
D. w Pontius. general manager of
the San Diego G. Arizona railway,
yesterday made the announcement
that the serious trouble in Carriso
gorge, which caused the suspension
of traffic, has been cleared up, and
that there is every indication that by
the end of this month a definite date
for the opening Of the line can be
announced.
Mr.. Pontius said reports that the
line will not be open for traffic for
another six months, or longer, are
absolutely without foundation. Stories
afloat that it was almost an impos-
sibility to clear up the blockade and
that whole new tunnel would have
to be driven We're branded by Mr.
Pontius as wholly untrue.
According to Manager Pontius, in
formation concerning the clearing of
the blockade in Carrso gorge HAS
rot been given out for some time,
due to uncertainty of condition at the
blockade. Work has now progressed
to the extent that everything done
from this time on will be of a per-
manent nature. The clearing away
of that part of the slide, which it
was necessary to remove has now
been completed, and the roadbed has
been widened and is ready for laying
the track. 1t will be necessary to
drive 166 feet of the new tunnel
which will connect with the present
tunnel, and every indication is that
this work will be completed some
time near the middle of November,
and possibly a little earlier.
Use Three Shifts
! Three eight-hour shifts are being
used on both the east ard west end
of the 166-foot section of tunnel to
be driven, and excellent progress is
being made. Fortunately. it was
possible to obtain the necessary ma
chinery for tunnel work from the
Utah Construction company, which
pid all of the tunnel work through
Carriso gorge, as this machinery had
not yet been shipped from Campo,
where it had been stored after the
