Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and un-
able to work.
He finally decided. after wears of
ceaseless study. that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumuIaseu
impurities. commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joints
and muscles and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
n completely banished every sign and
symptom Of rheumatism from his sys-
tenn.
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took II with what might be called
marvellous success. After years OF urK-
ms he decided 20 let sufferers every
where know about his discovery through
the newspapers. Four druggist has been

BRANDEGEE'S SEAT
SAID |DT0DEPEND0N n
BIG c. 0. P. VOTE
Connecticut Women and
League Backers Fight Him
for Senatorial Toga.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, October r.
The issue in Connecticut is neither
Cox nor Harding. but Brandegee, who
is desperately struggling for re-elec-
tion to the United States Senate,
where he has served for fifteen years.
Woman suffrage, which Senator
Brandegee consistently opposed. has
made the race uncertain. 1t isn't that
Brandegee fought woman suffrage.
but the way he fought it. His al
legged contemptuous attitude toward
the suffrage forces has stirred indig-
nation even among republican women.
OppOsed by League Backers.
Besides that he has arrayed against
him the people who want to see the
league of nations established either
with or without reservations. Sena-
tor Brandegee has been from the out
set a member of the "irreconcilable"
group which has opposed any league
of nations. Senators Borah and Nc
Cormick have made speeches here
supporting his anti-league views and
Senator johnson is coming to help
later on. Senator Lodge has appealed
in person to the people of this state
to vote for Brandegee. There is no
doubt that the seat of Senator Bran
degee has been and is in danger.
Depends on Hnrding's Vote.
The outcome depends largely on the
size of the Harding majority for the
state will go republican by decisive
vote If it should give a $4,000 majori-
ty to Harding, Brandegee will be swept
into office with the tide. 1t seems to
be conceded that he will run far be-
hind Harding and if he gets as far
back as 10000 then Representative Aug
ustine Lonergan, the democratic nomi-
nee may squeeze in.
Many of the friends Of Lonergan fear
that the women of the state will not
make use of their opportunity to defeat
Brandegee. as the voting machines are
employed here and there seems to be an
impression that feminine voters will be-
come confused when they enter the
polling booths and do what so many
male voters have done in other states
namely. vote a straight ticket, because
they cannot figure out how to cut a
candidate.
On the other hand. the Indignation
of many women against Brandegees
record is such that they would rather
vote a straight democratic ticket and be
sure they have punished Brandegee than
to take a chance otherwse-their feel
ing about the presidential contest it
self is secondary to the senatorial race.

i. 5. PROSECUTOR
QUITS COAL CASES
Dan W. Simms of Indiana
Gives No Reason, But Ad-
mits Resignation.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October 12-
Dan w. Simms, special assistant at
torney general in the cases pending
against coal operators and officials of
the United Mine Workers of America,
indicted under the Lever act last win
ter. has resigned, it became known
here today.
Mr.. Simms, while admitting that he
had sent his resignation to Attorney
General Palmer at Washington. de-
clined to discuss the case when seer
at his home in Lafayette, Ind. 1t is
understood. however, that Mr.. Simm's
resignation was due to a disa
ment with the attorney general over pro-
cedure and evidence to be used in the
coal cases.
1t is understood that Mr.. Simms re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Palmer a few
days ago. placing certain restrictions
on the evidence to be used in the coal
cases, and that Mr.. Simms' ,resigna-
ton followed closely upon the receipt
of this letter. Just what the restric-
tons IN the letter We're is not known
and Mr.. Simms declined to discuss the
case, at least until action has been
taken on his resignation
ACCORDING TO well informed
source, Mr.. Simms is said to have re-
scented the alleged interference of At
tOFney 1eHeTdl 1dlfTlff IN the case.
There have been rdmors recently in
Indianapolis that the indictments
against the coal operators and miners
under the Lever act might be dismiss
ed, with a possibility that the men
would be re-indicted later, but efforts
to verify this have been futile.
Continuance Indicated.
1t was also reported that d contin-
uance might be granted when the
cases come up in the United States
district court for Indiana on Novem-
Der S, as not all of the defendants
have yet been brought within the
jurisdiction of the Indiana court.
which is presided over by Federal
Judge A. Henderson.
l.. IIrt Stack. formerly United States
attorney for Indiana. who has been en-
ployed as a special government attorney
in the case. also has declined to discuss
the case and declared that any infornna-
ton to be given out should come from
the Department of Justice at Washing
ton.
Fred Van Nys, present district at
torney, said he had received no intima-
ton that indictments against the coal
men under the Lever act Were to be
dismissed.

TWO
LITTLE DAUGHTERS
Farmer Confesses Killing
Children and Burying Bodies
in River Bed.

LANSING, Mich, October 12-Earl
Poop, farmer, living near here, to-
day confessed, according to Sheriff
Silsbee. that late yesterday he chloro-
formed his two daughters. aged two
and three years. and buried their
bodies in the bed of the Red Cedar
river, a short distance from his home.
The two girls. the sheriff said, had
been in the fields with Poop. IN the
evening the farmer returned to his
home and assured his wife. who was
in and in bed with her six-day old
son, that the girls were safe and
would be home shortly.
few hours later he started for
the sheriff's office at Mason, where
he surrendered and made the alleged
confession.
After Poop had told his story sher-
ifs officers went to the river. led by
Roop, and uncovered the bodies.
Despondency, according to the al
legged confession, was the motive for
the crime. Poop is being held on a
charge of murder.

about one and one-half miles. The
latter school, which was described in
The Evening Star of Saturday last. is
overcrowded.
5O7 Enrolled Mt Eaton School.
The Eaton School today has an en-
rollment of 507 children, more than
can be accommodated comfortably. 1t
is an eight-room structure, built to
care for about 800 pupils. Conse-
quently the heavy enrolment has ne
cessitated the use of four portable
the space used as a playground.
Use of the portable buildings, how
ever, did not relieve conditions suf-
ficiently. and four classes-two third
and two fourth EradeS-Were put on
the two-shift system. Two of the
classes attend in the morning and
the remaining, two in the afternoon.
One Of the unusual conditions found
at this school is that there are two
classes for every grade from the
first through the eighth. There also
is one kindergarten class. which oc-
cupies a room originally intended for
an office. Therefore there are sew
enteen classes at this school< which
are occupying twelve rooms. Four of
them are in the portable structure.
With the belief that Cleveland Park
and it's neighboring territory is deS-
tined to grow. Ben w. Murch, super
vising principal of the first division,
in which the John Eaton School is
located, has asked school authorities
for twelve-room addition to this
building. An assembly hall also is
requested.
Mr.. Murch pointed out that when
the Eaton School was erected about
decade ago it was designed SO that
an assembly hall could be added. Mr..
Murch is desirous of obtaining more
playground space for the children.
There is sufficient play space now
for about 900 children, the portables
occupying much of the playground.
Supervising Principal Murch is of
the opinion that the lighting and heat
ing facilities are adequate. The
school is lighted by gas. Installa-
ton. of an electric lighting system is
desired.

Some official advices go so far
