with a deadly weapon preferred by
Mrs Emma VanWinkle, 1929 Third
avenue, paid fine of SIG in police
court yesterday afternoon and was
released.
The trouble did not occur at q
party, as was stated in last eve
n1ngs' Argus. Mrs. Stanley, armed
with a razor, went to the house at
1928 Third street, believing that her
husband was there. The woman
she wanted particularly to inter-
view was a Mrs. Ross, who resides
in the same building. Mrs. Van
Winkle was at home. Mrs. Ross
was out. Florence demanded that
her husband be produced, and. ac-
cord1ng to her own story, threat
ened to do some damage with the
razor on the person of Mrs. Van
Wrinkle if she found her husband
there. She returned later, she de-
clares, to apologize, and then in
Vfted the Wrinkles and the
Rosses to her house for the evening.
The invitation was accepted. but
Mrs VanWinkIe says they did not
stay long. The next morning. aft
er enjoying the hospitality of Mrs
Stanley the night before, Mrs. Van
Wrinkle swore out a warrant for
Mrs. Stanley.
Florence promised the Judge that
she would leave her razor at home
hereafter.

What Do You Know
About Your Blood?
Is Normal? Is 1t Rich? Is 1t Free of Waste Products?
Is 1t Pure?
How the Test May Be Made

In justice to yourself and your
loved ones you should know the
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-
tons: Do ! feel tired when 1 get
up in the morning? Am all tagged
out at night? Is my face pale and
drawn? Do I suffer with pains in
my muscles and joints? Am l sub
ject to any skin disease? Have l
any pimples or boils?
Nature is warning you, if your
answer to any of these questions
is Yes" Nature now needs help.
She has done her best but is fail
ing.
Listen to natures warning.
Your blood is your fountain source
of energy-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.

the difficulty Of getting raw materials
and workers was almost insurmount-

cloths worked out Of doors In France
amid the ruins of their factories, and
the things that they produced were
