SIR SAM HUGHES
OF CANADA DEAD
Famous as Minister of Munitions During
World War Ill
Long Time.

LINDSAY. Ont, Aug. 24.-Sir Sam
Hughes, former Canadian minister of mu-
nitions and long figure in the political
life of the Dominion, died at his home
here early today. Pernicious anaemia.
from which he had suffered since his re-
turn from Europe last winter, caused
his death. Sir Sam Hughes had been re-
ported several times at the point of
death. but his ind0mitable will brought
him through the crisis and he appeared
to be gaining strength until two weeks
ago, when he suffered final relapse.
As minister of munitions for Canada
during part of the World war, Gen. Sir
Sam Hughes became one of the leading
figures who helped to make that DOmin-
ion a potent and effective unit of the
military forces of the British empire in
the great conflict.
He was appointed minister with the
rank Of major general soon after the be-
ginning of the war and thereafter de-
voted his energies to turning over Cana
da's resources in men and supplies to the
winning the ultimate victory. In 1919
Sir Sam went to Europe where he made
a tour of the sectors occupied by Cana
dian troops and was created a knight
commander of the Order of Bath by King
George.
His resignation from the Office of min
iStcr of munitions at the request of Sir
Robert Borden, prime minister, followed
long continued friction with his col
leagues An investigation, conducted at
Sir Sans request, into charges that he
had made profits from army contracts,
completely exOnerated him.
To lessen Canadian losses in the war
and to promote greater efficiency. Sin
Sam at one time proposed a Canadian
war council organized in England with
deputy minister of militia at its head
The Canadian government, however, held
that there should be an overseas minister
of militia. Disagreement over this
scheme. which would have abolished
much of Sir Sans power, eventually LED
to his retirement

RELIEF AT LAST
FOR CONSTIPATION
Science Discovers Cause and How to
Remove 1t.

Chronic constipation, which leads to
so many serious diseases, such as dys-
pepsia, Indigestion, biliousness. jaun-
dice, gall stones, rheumatism, acidosis,
and many other auto-intoxications, is
now known to be caused by a drying
out of the bile and the intestinal con-
tents, the result of insufficient secre-
lions of the liver and intestinal glands.
Scientists have fortunately discov-
cred combination Of pleasant tast-
Ing and easy acting salts which in
crease the fluidity and the flow of bile
and the intestinal secretions, thus
flushing the ailmentary tract and re-
establishing natural and healthy &C
ton of the liver and bowels. This de-
lightful combination of salts is sold at
drug stores under the trade name,
Jacobs Liver Salt" It is much
quicker, more pleasant and far more
effective than calomel, oils or other
nauseating cathartics, and in addition,
is perfectly safe and harmless. Ask
your druggist for Jacobs Liver Salt.

REPORT YOUNG GIRL.
MISSING FROM HOME
Parents of Beatrice chatham Are
Frantic With Grief Over
Missing Daughter.

Beatrice Chairman, 16 years Did.
slight of build, weighing about 90
pounds and of a decided brunette type,
left her home at 1105 N. Alcaniz- st.,
Wednesday between II and 1880
o'clock and has not since been heard
from. Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Nancy Chitman, are frantic with
grief over the possibilities of what
may have happened to their daughter.
Beatrice is known to have left in
an automobile with two young married
women who had left their husbands,
and was reported last seen at the
Boston Candy Kitchen. The party was
thought to have gone toward Musco-
gee 1t is not known whether the
young women were in taxi or with
some man friend. None of the three
could drive a car.
Beatrice wore a blue checked ging-
ham house dress and was engaged IN
work at home when she received a
telephone call from one of the women
requesting her to meet the party at
the corner of Belmont and Guile
marde-sts. She left the house shortly
afterward in her house dress telling
her grandmother that she was going
down to the corner, speaking as if she
would be back shortly. The two wom-
en- had cultivated her friendship and
she had been somewhat cross with
her mother who had forbidden her to
associate with them. 1t is supposed
that when Beatrice met the couple at
the corner she was persuaded to ac-
company them.
Police authorities have been notifi ID
ard the distraught parents have re-
quested anyone who might see or
know of Beatrice to wire or write
them at once at 1105 n. Alcaniz-3t.,
and to detain the young woman #
possible.
