DEATHS CREDITED TO DEMONS
Superstitiovs hindus Excited Over
What They Look On - . su-
pernaturai Happening.

The superstitious Hindus are
greatly excited over strange affair
near Rawa. pindi, where there is .
small camp of Sadhus or Sanniyasis,
those Hindus who have given up
everything for a life of modification,
and sit about clothed in ashes. The
Pindi camp generally consists of
about dozen men, but the number
varies. because from time to time
some members pick up their begging
bowls and go off on their travels
about India. On the night Of the
tragedy there were seven men in the
camp. What really happened in the
still hours of the night it is impos-
sible to say, but in the morning the
bodies of three of the Sanniyasis
were found tied to trees and terribly
mutilated. Two were quite dead ard
the other man was dying. The re.
naming four men were covering
round fire, muttering charms and
in a great excitement and fear. 1t
soon became noised abroad that the
murder of these holy men was not
the work of human beings at all,
but of>the Rakshas or, demons who
in the days of old inhabited the
earth and now had come back again.
The story spread with marvellous
rapidity throughout the city, with
the result that there was a panic
and all business ceased for several
DAYS.

Validity of the
 SeditiOn Law is
 to be Attacked

Chicago, May 1.-Two jurors were tentatively accepted today by both sides in the trial of 26 alleged members of the communist labor party, charged with conspiracy to overthrow the government by foce. One juror also was rendered by each side.
 That the defense would make an attack on the constitutionality of the sedition law it's main line of de- fense was indicated in questions to prospective jurors by Attorney Clarance Darrow.
 "Do you believe in the right of any man to attempt to change the present form of government by law full means ?" was one of the ques stions asked by MT. Darrow.
 Judge Hebel ruled today that jurors may express an opinion re- galding the motives behind the en- trance of the United States into the war.
 Counsel for the defense objected to the following questions asked by Frank Comerford of the prosecution
 "Do you believe, or have you ever believed, that the United States en- tered the war because of imperialis- tic or capitalistic purposes"
 Judge Hebel overruled the objec- tion after fifteen minutes of argu- ment.

Dandruff Soon
 Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair. do by all means get rid of dandruff. for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it en- tirely. To do this, get about four ounces or ordinary liquid arvon; ap- ply it at night when retiring: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning. most if not all. of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every sinele sign and trace of it.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need. no matter how much dandruff you have. This sim pie remedy never fails. (adv.)
