STULTZ EXAMINED

Drs. A. D. Herring, Albert Chatard
and Henry ]. Berkeley, members of the
State Lunacy Commission, spent two
hours at the Jail Tuesday afternoon
conducting mental and physical ex-
animation of William A. Stultz the
condemned murderer of Policeman
John H. Adams. DR.. Herring, secretary
of the commission, will mail report
to Governor Richie covering the scope
of the examination, and an opinion as
to the mans physical and mental con-
dition.
The physicians arrived from Balti-
more during the afternoon, went to
the Jail and began their examination
about 5 o'clock. 1t was conducted in
the presence of Sherman P. Bowers,
attorney for Stultz; States Attorney
Anders, Sheriff Jones, Deputies Smith
and Bartgis and Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Stultz, the former brother of the
condemned man. Stultz was brought
from the cell he has been occupying to
the office of the sheriff and was asked
a number of questions by members of
the commission. He appeared quiet
and composed.
He was questioned about the murder
and was also questioned in regard to
his past life. He was asked to desig-
nate silver money of different coin de-
nominations and given simple prob
lens to figure out. He told of his
past life, and in reference to the muir
der blamed States Attorney Aaron r.
Anders and County Constable E. H.
Alexander for melting the deed. To
most of the questions he replied read
lily, it was said.
While the physicians withheld the
nature of the report they will submit
to the governor, it will be to the eff
feet that Stultz is in good health,
probably of low mentality, but sane
as to the knowledge of right and
wrong. DR.. Herring stated that the
man was in good health, but declined
to say anything in regard to his men
tai condition except that a report
would be mailed to the governor. It
was said, however, that the physi-
clans are inclined to the theory of in
sanity, t'' 49,.

A MODERN HUMORIST

A resident of Pittsburgh, Pa, who
signs himself as S. I. Aronson, has
written letter to Justice of the
Peace, James E. Garrett, Of Gathers
burg, complaining of treatment he
received.
1t seems that several months ago
a man by the name of Aronson was
arrested by Motorcycle Officer Earl
Burdine, of Montgomery county, on a
charge of running his automobile at
the rate of As miles an hour, and
that Justice Garrett required him to
pay a fine and costs amounting to
$27.50. The motorist writes:
81 am referring to certain day in
July, of this year, the 10th to be ex-
act, when you were honored by the
presence of myself, wife and two
sons, aged 16 and 2 years, respective
ly, at which time, being in country
called the State of Maryland, where
justice and fair play do not exist, l
was obliged to hand over to you the
sum of $27.50 on the statement of a
Jesse James operating motorcycle.
eve are still praying to God that
if your miserable body has not yet
been removed from the face of the
earth it will be at an early date by
the all-powerful Lord, and that your
soul, as we'll as that of Jesse James
referred to, will be consigned to ever
lasting flames; also that your plead
ings for mercy and justice may be
met with the same mute response
that we received at your hands"
The letter is typewriter, as is the
signature.

! How Better Than Pills?

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one hardly
realizes that it is produced by a med
icine. Then, they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion. Adv.

Outstanding features of Mr..

tee were:
The general welfare above the
claims of any particular class or
group of American citizens.
Equal and exact rights to all
men and special privileges to-
none.
Immunity from all unnecessary
invasions of personal liberty.
Reliance for individual well-be-
ing upon individual enterprise and
energy, rather than upon govern
ment patronage.
Regulation (but not ownership
of railroads and other public utili-
ties by the State.
The strictest degree of public.
economy consistent with the pub
lie necessities.
The largest measure of local
self government compatible with
vigorous national authority.
An indestructible union of in
destructible States.
The sane and ordered liberty of
America in preference to the iron
hand OF European absolutism, the
deceitful dreams of European So
cialism and the wild and blood
guilty phantas;es of European or
Asiatic Bolshevism.

|QU|T MEAT IF YOUR
| KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful of Salts if
Back hurts or Bladder
botherS.

We are a nation of meat eaters
and our blood Is filled with uric
acid, says a well-known authority,
who warns us to be constantly on
guard against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating
acid, but become weak from the
overwork: they get sluggish; the
eliminative tissues clog and thus
the waste is retained in the blood
to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and
Ifeel like Jumps of lead, and you
have stinging pains in the back or
the urine is cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, or the bladder Is irritable,
obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe
headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach
or rheumatism in bad weather,
get from your pharmacist about
-four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning and
lin a few days your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations
ito flush and stimulate clogged kid
neys, to neutralize the acids in
urine so It is no longer a source
of irritation, thus ending urinary
and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful eff
Iferyescent lithia water drink and
nobody can make a mistake by
taking a little occasionally to
keep the kidneys clean and active.
