Home Brew
 Not To Blame

Home brew was blameless'' in the death of Larry Horlick, robust farm hand of Greens Farms, -WeStport, who died suddenly on July II, without having previously complained Of feel ing ill.
 The man did a good days work in the field as usual, went to his room. and shortly after was found dead. Because of his usual robust health, and supposedly strong constitution it was suspicious that some sort of poi soning had caused his death and an investigation was ordered. Home brew of which the man frequently partook was given as a. possible solu- ton, but the report made public to- day by Coroner Phelan finds that the brew or any other poison had noth- ing to do with the sudden death
 The examining physician who was called atfer the man was found dead in his bed diagnosed the case as one of angina pectoris. which the coroner finds is correct.

SENATORS ASK FOR RATE

WASHINGTON, DC. 17.--Twelve
western senator's made a joint tele-
graphic appeal to the presidents of
the western railroads to grant a one
cent a mile fare to veterans of the
world war who wish to attend the
National Conference of the American
Legion which is to be held in Kan
sas City October 31st. November list
and End.
The granting of such rates would
stimulate in a very marked degree
the attendance at the convention, as
many veterans who desire to attend
would be prevented from doing so
because of their financial situation if
they are required to pay the regular
fare. 1nasmuch as many vital prob
lens affecting the welfare Of the
former service men will be determin-
ed at this convention the Legion
officials are exceedingly hopeful
that the railroads will take cogniz-
ance of the request, coming as it does
from a group of distinguished sem
ators.
The signers of the telegram were

ming. Hon. John B.. Kendrick of

FORTY PERCENT OF
PEOPLE ARE HALF.
SICK, HE STATES

Forty per cent Of the people of
this state are half sick and fully
ninety per cent Of these can attrib-
ute their sufferings to spinach
troubles.
Such are the main points in Gar
ren's new health theory which has
stirred Denver. where Garren's rep
resentatives have been visiting dur
ing the past week. This is due to
modern conditions" said Garren in
an interview.
These people," he added, have
gans. owing to too little exercise in
the fresh air. and too much hastily
eaten food. 1t isn't kidney trouble,
or nervousness, or liver complaint.
or dozens OF other diseases invented
by imaginations.
"A sound digestive apparatus that
is doing its full duty in getting
every particle of vitality out OF the
food is what makes good health.
Only keep the stomach in condition,
and there is likely to be but little
sickness.
MY medicine, Garren's Tonic, is
designed to restore "out of whack"
stomachs to normal condition and to
destroy chronic constipation. Thou
sans of people say this is the reason
for my big success and explains why
I am attracting an Unusual amount
Of attention all over the state"
Garren's Tonic is sold here by
Rendle's Drug Store and by the Har-
ris Mercantile Co.. in Dixon. Savery
