truth about your blood-for who
knows at what time he or she will
be called upon to stand this test.
Ask yourself these simple ques-
tions: Do l feel tired when ! get up
in the morning? Am l all tagged out
at night? Is my face pale and
drawn? Do l suffer with pains in
my muscles and joints? Am 1 sub
iect to any skin disease? Have 1
any pimples or boils?
Nature is warning you, II your
answer to any of these questions is
yes" Nature now needs help. She
has done her best but Is failing.
Listen to natures warning. Your
blood is your fountain source OF en-
ergy-therefore keep your blood rich
and pure.
Our greatest health asset is to
have blood which is pure and clean
blood which is free of waste products.

Watson Monday told Penrose the time

himself to be interviewed and formulate
the program in the interview. PenrOse

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. - Republican

a change by means of a "bloodless revo-
luton" Senator's said today.
AS a result, Senator Watson of Indiana

There has been no ceange In the for

as head of the Finance Committee. But
Watson having assumed the reins for

II developed that the original CONVEX
sa+ion occurred in the Office OF the board

unrame, chairman Of the board had con
sented to release what had been pur'
rorted TO be a confession.
IN discussing Hartmans connection
with the case, Chief De Forester said he
Is not Interested in any way with In
dianapolis political troubles and that his
business is only that OF capturing crimi-
pals and gathering evidence that would
lead to their punishment.
He said so far as he is concerned he
had nothing that would Justify action
against Hartman, despite the statements
OF Francis that Hartman was with him
when he robbed a Louisville home. Chief
De Forester said he had not been able
20 determine what house II was Francis
said he robbed as several houses were
robbed the same night.
Chief De Forester seemed very anxious
TO be clear of anything which would
have a part IN an indianapolis political
sduabble and appears 10 be combining his
attention strictly to the burgiaries com
mitted by Francis IL Louisville. That he
is responsible for many burglaries In
that city Chief De Forester said there
could be no doubt as he had been able
to verify most Of the prisoners state
ments in this respect.
HARTMAN REFUSED
PLEAS OF FRANCIS.
Brent c. Overstreet, Louisville, an at
torney, said he had been asked to look
after Francis by Bass & Bass, attorneys
at St Louis, from which city Francis
had come prior to his arrival In Louis
VILE He said Hartman came to Louis
vile and conferred with Francis and
himself He said Hartman promised to
take caro- of the bond and the attorney
fees. He said this was the only time he
ever saw Hartman. He said Francis and
mis- wife began to get worried when they
did not hear from Hartman and asked
him TO do something He said he tried
to get Hartman on the long distance tele-
phone but did not succeed. He said -
and Francis wife finally came to Indian
apolls to see Hartman but that he was
out Of town when they arrived He said
they saw Fred Hartman and that Fred
said he was sore because he had received
a letter from Francis demanding my'ney.
Oyerstreet said there was nothing said
about splitting a story concerning Hart
man If the money was not forthcoming.
He said he did not know Hartman was
connected with Francis in any other
capacity than as an attorney at that time.
Overtsreet said he knew Of only 800
Hartman had contributed for attorneys
fees.
Francis said Herbert Hartman visited
him in Louisville shortly after his arrest
and promised to get him out on bond. his
bond having been fixed at $4,000, and to
paw his attorney fees. He said Hartman
left and he did not hear from him. He
said Brent c. Overstreet, a Louisville
attorney, went to Indianapolis and en-
deavored to get some money OUT Of Hart
man. He said he knew OF no threat
whereby he was to implicate Hartman If
the money was not forthcoming. He said
he was sore because he had always stuck
to Hartman and Hartman had refused to
stick to him. He said Hartman had, how
ever, sent him $500 or $500 later on.
