body affecting garage owners, on
the theory that licensing Of ga
RACES comes under provisions e1
the act of the last Legislature ''to
regulate business Of storing per

primarily is directed at warehouse
owners, remains problematical
Reports from Chicago say there
is likelihood of the garage own

seems to be in favor of such &C

Germs not actually engaged in -stor-

in their places for repairs. In re-
ply to'tke- query of c. A. Walker of
the Tri-Cfty Auto Supply company,
Attorney Edward J. Brundage
states the act seems clear to him
that the concerns having machines
in their garages not for hire will
not be subject to the ruling. This
opinion is given by the attorney
general merely as a private attor-
ney and is not official.
Attorney General Brundage has
also forwarded an opinion to the
states attorney of Fayette county,
which is as follows:

fact that the term warehouse is
used throughout to designate the

BETTER Than CALONEL
Edwards Olive Tablets IRE q
Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild
but sure laxative and their effect
on the liver is almost instantane-
Gus. Those little olive colored
tablets are the result of DR.. Ed
wards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with
caIOmel
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calonel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't in
jure the teeth like strong liquids
or calomel. They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes
plays havoc with the gums. So do
strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomeL. Let DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "duIlness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipa-
ton and a disordered liver. Take

you feel '1ogy" and heavy" They

Fiji as Young Mother Slighted as Her
Husband Slips Into Wild Life of Rich

of the Stillmans was almost at an
end.
Wife Keeps Silent.
Fiji Stillman took up the care and
the training Of the third baby with
the same zest she had given to her
two first born. Her life became
wrapped up in the exquisite Anne.
the sturdy bud" and the chubby
baby who was at first carried and
wheeled and then took his first tot
tering steps and, at length, trudged
along with his elder brother.
1t was along in September, 1917,
that James A. Stillman's name be-
came linked with that of "Flo
Leeds" a member OF "the chicken
chorus" on the Century Roof. And
he did not take the trouble to deny
the reports of his attentions to the
show girl. Mrs. Stillman learned
of it and, as was her wont, kept
silent.
As she said in her counter charges
to those of her husband in the now
famous divorce suit, sheh knew that
he went to live with the chorus girl
in or about October, 1917. She knew
that he placed her in an apartment
uptown and lived with her under the
name of Leeds. She knew when the
baby, Jay Leeds, was bern to her
husband and Mrs. Flo Leeds. For
nearly four years she lived with the
knowledge that her husband was
giving her his duty and another
woman his affections. And she kept
silent.
But her silent sufferings were
molding her, infusing a burning in
dignation against the wrong done
women by men, driving her into the
out-of-doors to get relief from her
pain in the woods and the hills. They
etched her body into fine nodded
lines and left her face clear of them.
And they gave to her eyes the clarity
and the humanness that come from
pain, and to her voice the sweetness
and the tone of bell.
She became woman of the out
of-doors. Nature helped heal the
wounds to her spirit, as nature will,
if given a chance. She became buoy
ant with health, a beautiful thing in
her unconventional garb of skirt and

mig or motoring.
Stunned by Attack.
Anne Urquhart Stillman became
more and more beautiful, with a
beauty of the spirit that revealed it
self in the flesh. And that is the Fiji
Stillman of this day.
On November 7, 1918, the baby,
Guy Stillman. was born. For a time
again James A. Stillman clung to his
own hearth. But a definite siren
voice was Turing him away. He re-
sponded. but he kept in constant
touch with his wife. He showered
her with attentions and what he
thought passed for manifestations
of affection.
But Mrs. Stillman was not de-
ceived this time. She let him know
it. Baby Guy was going on to 3
years old when suddenly, out of
clear sky hurtled the charges of
James A. Stillman against her, nam
ing the Indian guide she had en-
ployed as a servant as the Core
spondent.
Fiji Potter Stillman was stunned
at the suddenness and savagery of the
attack. She did not believe that any
man would have the temerity to at
tack one of her race and family. She
covered for a short while, then got
her heath and her courage. She
started to fight back.
Jim Stillman, in turn, covered
under the whipping scorn of the
aroused public opinion. Flo Leeds
disappeared. No one has seen her
since Mrs. Stillman went into action
to obtain justice from the supreme
court of the state of New York.

Counterfeiting Outfit Found
Fort Madison, Ia, Sent Here

A box of counterfeiting tools and
moulds for making 81 coins were re-
received Saturday at the federal
building by D. w. Dickinson Of the
secret service from the postmaster
at Fort Madison, Ia, where they had
been found in an old barn.
According to letter which ac-
companied the bax, the moulds and
tools had evidently been abandoned
there for some time, as the tools
were covered with rust. Evidence
that they had been used freely was
plain, as an old apron, probably used
by the men while at work, was also
found
Dickinson will destroy the outfit.
