Why Suffer from Rheumatism

Do you know that nine out of every
ten cases of rheumatism are simply
of the muscles or chronic
neither of which require
any internal treatment? The pain
may be relieved by applying Cham
berlain's Liniment, which makes sleep
and rest possible, and that certainly
means a great deal to any one affiict-
ed with rheumatism.

CHANGES Her MIND.
Madalynne Obenchain No

Anxious for Separate Trial
Fears Burch Confession.

Los Angeles, Oct. 13.-As her at
torneys prepared to enter court today
to plead before Judge Sidney N. Reeve
for a separate trial for their client,
Mrs. Madalynne C. Obenchain. Jointly
indicted with Arthur C. Burch for the
murder of J. Bolton Kennedy, an
nounced she had Changed her mind
about the procedure CT her case.
Sitting in the reception room of the
county Jail, the beautiful prisoner dis
cussed her case.
st know 1 was quoted as being in
different toward the matter Of a joint
or separate trial." she said. i am
sorry that I permitted such state
ment to get out because have come
to realize that the real reason the dis
trict attorney wants to have me tried
with Arthur is that he may have an
opportunity of using that alleged con-
fession of Arthur's against me as well
as Arthur.
while 1 have every confidence in
Arthur's innocence and want to con-
tinue to be his friend, refuse to let
the district attorney play upon this
friendship in an effort to gain advan-
tage for his side of the case"
Humble prison life has transformed
Mrs. Obenchain from a frivolous wo-
man into a philosopher. She is pre-
pairing her mind and spirit for the or
deal of her trial.

dream, the truth comes with dawning
consciousness. The rest of the day

hours before dawn when lie awake
alone and everything is SO still that it
is dreadful.
Prison wouldn't be half so bad IL
only one could slip out now and then
and walk around the block. No one
who has never been in prison can I'M
derstand that mad craving that comes
over one just for a glimpse of the sky,
a Whit of fresh air, for the stir of the
streets. for the feeling that the whole
world is before one and one may walk
in whatever direction one pleases.n

Catarrh

Is Dangerous

Mistaken for Indigestion-HOW To
Recognize and Treat.

Thousands of people suffer more or less
constantly from furred, coated tongue, bad
breath, sour burning stomach, frequent
vomiting, rumbnng in stomach, bitter eruc-
tations, gas, wind and stomach acidity and
call it indigestion when in reality their
trouble is due to gastric catarrh Of the
stomach" writes a New York physician.
Catarrh of the stomach is dangerous be-
cause the mucous membrane lining Of the
stomach is thickened and a coating Of
phIegm covers the Surface so that the d.
gestive fluids cannot mix with the food and
digest them. This condition soon breeds
deadly disease in the fermented, unassimi-
ries the infection throughout the body.
Gastric ulcers are apt to form and fire.
quently an ulcer is the first sign of a
deadly cancer.
In catarrh Of the stomach a good and
safe treatment is to take before meals a
teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Magnesta in
half a glass of hot water as hot as you
can comfortably drink it. The hot water
washes the mucous from the stomach walls
the bisurated magnesia is an excellent
solvent for mucus and increases the ef-
ftciency of the hot water treatment. More

A resolution circulated thruout the

Home owners cleanup and repair

Public officials start public work at

School board commence building

Work be distributed as far as pos

all persons now employed and that eff

In calling for observance of "unem-

there were $4,000 persons idle in the

DON'T SQUEEZE BLACK
HEADS-DISS0LVE Them

Squeezing and pinching out bIackheads
make the pores large and cause irritation
then, too, after they have become hard
you cannot get all of them out. Black
heads are caused by accumuIations of dust
and dire and secretions from the skin and
there is only one safe and sure way and
one that never fails to get rid of them-a
simple way, too-this is to dissolve them.
Just get from any drHg store about two
ounces of "alonite powder-sprinkIe a little
on hot wet spOnge-rub over the black
heads briskly for few secOnds-wash off
and you'll be surprised to see that every
blackhead has disappeared, and the skin
will be left soft and the pores in their

OPERA STAR TRIES SUICIDE
Once Famous Singer in Europe Takes
Poison-Desponden Over Finances.

Once Famous Singer in Europe Takes
Poison-Despondent Over Finances.
Chicago, Oct. 13.-Charlotte Caillies,
43, an opera singer, once regarded the
star in European circles, lies very near
to death today in the county hospital
from poison self administered
She swallowed the poison in her
room in local hotel. Dependency
over her failure to obtain a position
with the Chicago Opera company is
believed to have been the reason.
Several years ago in Europe Miss
Caillies sang before Mary Garden,
now director of the Chicago Opera
company Miss Garden, it is said
promised to help her in her operate
career If ever an opportunity offered.
When Miss Caillies learned of Miss
Gardens appointment as head Of the
Chicago Opera company, she came
here to hold Miss Garden to her
promise.
Miss Garden, however, was in Eu-
rope. Other officials of the opera
company could do nothing. Miss Call
lies funds ran out and the hotel where
garding its bill of $500.
Before swallowing the poison, Miss
Caillies wrote a note to George H.
Spangler, business manager of the Chi
cago Opera company, in which she
asked that Harold F. Mccormick,
sponsor for the company, send her
body to New York for burial beside
that of her mother.
