 Two days of questioning by police brought from Mrs. Ruth Townsend. the aged womans daughter, and Miss Marian Townsend, her granddaughter, only Cryptic answers. such as, Mother is happy in love-
 Early today Miss Townsend confessed that the aged woman died of natural causes last June and had been buried by the two women in flower bed in their back yard in which the aged wofiian had carefully tended geranium plants.
 Every part of their former home was searched yesterday by the police, and even some parts of the rear yard were dug up, but nothing was found except bones which doctors said were those of a dog.
 Dire poverty caused the two women to bury tho body secretly, Miss Townsend confessed to Police Matron Mary Dolin. One by one the prized possessions of the family were sold. until only the grand piano, on which Marian developed an unusual musical ability, remained.
 I've had neither coffin nor burial per init, said Miss Townsend. We coy cred up the body and placed the geran- iums over the improyised grave. To us she is not dead, just buried. Mother and swore never to say anything about it because we were happy in love.

Mobile, February 1s.-Cedric ". La mont a musician of this city, was a boarder at the home of Mrs. Ruth Town send. who buried her mother, Mrs. Nancy Chamberlain, s1 in the garden of their home. according to a confession made by the woman, because they lacked money for a funeral.

 Lamont said at the time he boarded with the Townsend family the wife and children were separated from the hus- band. who was Chicago lawyer. and that they depended on the wages earned by Fred Lamont, a young son, now living at Toledo, o. So nneagre was the money that came in that they were unable only to buy just so much groceries per week. The woman, according to Lamont was a mystic, q believer in the occult.
 T never did believe that Mrs. Town send had killed her mother as they were too devoted to each other. The daughter hid the fact from the son who was the only bread winner, that her mother was permanent boarder, but fed him to believe that she was on a visit of few days. but inparted to him that she would never leave as she had to take care of her. The fact that the daughter had buried her mother in the manner which she did was no surprise to me" said Lamont

LUMBER DEALERS . LOOK FOR HEAVY l BUYING SHORTLY
Say East to Enter Market With Spring Weather and Will
 Take Surplus Quickly. | Outlook Frightening

That tee price of lumber and other building materials has reached the bottom and that already there is seen an upward trend is indicated in infor- naation and price quotations being re- ceived by local lumber dealers.
 For some time the local dealers have contended that the public need pect no further reductions and predictions that an advance was certain in the early spring have been general. It was pointed out that as soon as the weather moderated so that building could be started there would begin a real building boom in all parts of the country.
 During the warm weather of the past few days, inquiries regarding lumber and building materials have been greater than at any period for several months, and already there is every indication that the building of homes in Birmingham is soon to be started

considerable supply of lumber on hand, I am leaving tonight to visit num- Der of mills to make additional pur- chases before increases go into effect" said Wadsworth W. Wood. secretary treasurer of the w. D. Wood Lumber company. "All the quotations we have received recently from mills offer to insert clause in the contract guaran- teeing us against loss in case the price of lumber declines but none Of the quotations guarantee not to raise the prices in the near future.
 "The quotations sent out recently by the leading lumber manufacturers of the country show slight increases in prices for immediate delivery, and they predict still further increase as soon as the heavy building begins in the north and east.
 Every opinion expressed by lumber men recently has been to the effect that the bottom had been reached and that there was on prospect of the price going lower under two or three years, or until the need for houses and build ings, which is universal throughout the country had been somewhat re- lieved.
 We have had more inquiries and more orders for lumber and other building materials during the past few warm days than at any time in many months. People are now getting bids preparatory to building within tho next month or two. I see no reason for anything but an optimistic feeling regarding the building outlook for the next six months in this district, and the same is true of all parts of the country.

Don't You Know
 It Cannot Be Done?

Rheumatism is a sturdy foe, and it never uses gentle meth ods with it's victims. If the dis ease were confined to the sur- face there might be some logic in expecting relief from it's clutches by rubbing with lini- ments and lotions. But a dis ease that can cause so much pain and suffering is deep seated and has it's source far below the surface of the skin. \
 The only sensible treatment from which you can expect re- suits is a remedy that goes deep down into the blood supply and kills the germs that cause the disease.
 s. s. s. is a wonderful blood remedy, and is the logical treat- ment for Rheumatism, because it promptly permeates the en- tire blood supply and searches out and Bills the disease germs. You can take s. s. s. with the assurance that you are not ex- perimenting, for this fine old remedy has been in constant lse for more than fifty years, during which time it has been giving splendid results. So you owe it to yourself to take IS. s. s. without delay, and dis Icard the use of local treatment that can do you no good.

You need every bit of education
