Christian Science Version
Of Peculiar Death Case

Omaha, Jan. ITO the Editor of
The Bee: That mystery and strange
circumstances attended the demise
of a we'll known Omaha woman,
who was an adherent of Christian
Science, are statements made in
your Friday evening and Saturday
morning issues. The assertions
about a mystery are fatty contra
dicted by the article itself which
shows there was nothing mysterious
about the case.
Your article states most of the
facts about popularity of the case,
that is the extent to which the wishes
of the deceased were respected,
that all announcements and arrange
ments about her death be made by
a sister, who was not then in Oma-
ha. However, the Christian Science
practitioner in the case did not tell

is real enjoyment, when there isn't

course, case of dyspepsia or daily
indigestion must be looked after
But it is far more to the point to
prevent as we'll as to treat sour
stomach, belching, water brash, ETC.,
by such a Valuable means as Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. Coddling
the stomach with soft food and pre-
digested stuff merely invites slug
gishness.
Eat your little pork sausages for
breakfast without fears; have a
plate of beans and a piece of pie
with cheese for lunch, and end the
day with a real dinner, instead of a
bowl Of bread and milk Follow
each meal with Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet and get right back to your
natural self.
The tablets digest food and as
sist the stomach to prepare the con-
tent for assimilation in the intesti-
nal tract. Thus you get the >practi-
cal relief-and help which induces
q better appetite and greater free
dom in the selection of foods. You
will find Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

anyone that the woman was "all
right" nor anything of that char
acter when she had been dead for
hours, as your headlines affirmed
Statements of that kind call for
correction because they are in line
with frequent misapprehension that
Christian Science teaching attempts
to dispose of evil simply by saying
it is not so. Christian Science teach
ing may seem to some to be peculiar
in that it holds the spiritual facts
OF life to be superior ever to the
physical experience of death. but
that is something entirely different
from trying to change the evidence
of the physical senses simply by
asserting that it is not true.
Your article raises the issue Of
the relative merits of Christian
Science and drug methods of heal
ing. There are thousands OF people
in Omaha who rely upon Christian
Science for physical healing, as well
as for spiritual guidance. yet fail
ure in its application is so rare that
you devote to it double column in
the center of your front page. If
rarity, is the prime test Of the i'm
portance of news then you were jus
tilted in giving the prominence you
did to the article in question. By
that test. incidents of healing
through Christian Science have no
news value for they are every hour
events in this city and state and
many cases of healings can be found
for every socalled failure. Proofs
that fully support this assertion are
offered in the midweek services of
the Christian Science churches and
in the lives Of your citizens who are
members Of these churches.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandryff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain,
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use. enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gent
ly with the finger tips.
BY morning, most. if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
mid soft, and look and feel a hum
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail

FAIL TO SECURE
JURY IN DAVIS
ASSAULT CASE
Entire Day Spent in Exam.
lining Panel, Many Of
Whom Are DisquaIi-
fled by Judge.

| Little progress was made yester
ady in getting a jury to try George
Davis, charged with assault to muir
der and assault to do great bodily
Injury to Mayor Smith the night Of
the court house riot.
| Man after man was excused be
cause of expressed prejudice or ar
already formed opinion about Davis
guilt or innocence.
After the entire day spent in ex-
amiling prospective jurors yester-
day, the first twelve men had not
been secured, four men had been ex-
cused NOT only from this jury, but
from service on any jury on the
present panel, because they ex-
pressed ideas of their duties as jury
men which were not in accordance
withs what the law demands.
May Summon More Men.
1t is very likely that additional
jurymen will be summoned for ser
vice on the present panel to take
the place of the large Number ex-
cused and discharged.
Three of the first five prospective
jurymen examined by County At
torney Shotwell in the Davis case
| were excused.
When Attorney Eugene O'Sulli-
vans turn to examine jurors came,
| he examined three before he secured
the first juryman. Nose Hehtz-
berg, 1910 Dodge street. and Edwin
Wilkinson, 1916 South Tenth street,
said they had gormed opinions re-
garding Davis guilt. They were
excused from the jury box and dis
charged from duty by Judge Redick.
Elwood Cooper. 413 North Twen-
ty-hfth street, middleaged man.
employed by the American Rail-
way Express company. was excused
from the jury and discharged en-
tirely from jury service by Judge
Redick, following his answers to
questions as to his qualifications to
serve as juror.
He declared that the possibility
of imposing penalty of two to IS
years on Davis if he is found guilty,
would probably prevent him from
finding him guilty even if he were
proved so.
Judge Redick Immediately wrote
an order, discharging Mr.. Cooper
from any jury service.
THE law provides the penalty and
it is not for any juror to consider
that at ALL said the Judge.
The third Juror examined, ]. B.
McDermott, 319 North Seventeenth
street, was excused from the jury
Because he said sympathy for Davis
might influence his verdict.
But Two Accepted.
Willard Fallon, the fifth man ex,
amined, was excused because he
said he might not return a verdict
of guilty even if the state proved
Davis guilty beyond reasonable
doubt, of assaulting Mayor Smith.
Mr.. Fallon is a farmer near Elk
horn, Neb.
The same astonishing reluctance
of prospective jurors to convict al
legged rioters was shown in District
Judge Sears court, where a Jury was
being impaneled to try Sam Novak,
II years old, on the charge of con-
spiracy to murder Will Brown, the
negro, lynched by the court house
