MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE
Oxford, N. H.. Man Kills Himself After Being Questioned in Connec- tion With Murder Case.

Orford, N. H., Dec. 7.--The suicide yesterday of Frederick c. Bedell, who after he dad been questioned regard ing the Killing of the aged brothers, John and Charles Davis, here a month ago, took poison and then shot himself. stimulated further the in vestigation of the Davis murders to- day. Bedell questioned before his death in hospital last night pro- tested that he was innocent of any connection with the Davis case.
 Differences between the Davises and Bedell, who was their neighbor, were made matters of further inqury. Be- dell's fingerprints taken at the in- quest that was resumed last Saturday were compared with those taken at the Davis home. ~
 The authorities said they had found nothing that would tend to connect Bedell directly with the crime.

ADVICE TO FARMERS
Survey From Among Themselves Shows They Should Produce More Stuf They Use Themselves.

Washington, Dec. 7. Farmers should produce more of their own foodstuffs and buy less than must be brought to them by railroads, accord ing to a survey or opinion among 25,00o farmers made public today by the department of agriculture. Near 1y 30 per cent of the food consumed by farmers and their family generally is not grown by them or their inn mediate vicinity whereas it was shown 7s per cent of their needs could be produced locally.
 High freight rates, it was explained, tend to reduce prices farmers receive for their products ana increase the cost to them of the things they buy from outside localities
 The smallest percentage of home production was foun,! in New Eng land and the highest 75.2 per cent in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.

Il You Need 4 Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that 90 many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason Is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re.
suits, as many Of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has 20 large q
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact
80 many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri'
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

Eighteen years ago Elizabeth Phil

over that are making the holiday year

Elizabeth Phillips-she has been
dead these thirteen years-had her
inspiration In 1904 In Philadelphia.
She was a teacher In the public
schools. She lay III In boarding
house. She saw the cold rain Of au-
tumn beating against her window.
She thought Of the Christmas that
was coming.

As soon as she got well she began
to work out her plan. Through the
cooperation Of President Roosevelt
she was enabled to secure hundreds
Of letters to Santa Claus-every
Christmas season these letters come
in flood to every big-city post office.
Then she made It her business to
visit her friends. to call upon a host
Of new ones. to solicit help from
everybody, everywhere, collecting two
