After Suffering for Years

II you are a sufferer from stom-
ach trouble don't wait until your
condition becomes grave before TAX
ing proper steps to correct the dis.
order. More lives are lost by the
needless disregard of the beginning
of poor health than by all other
causes combined Most cases of
stomach disorder. liver trouble, con-
stipation, rheumatism, and nervous
breakdown are absolutely inexcus-
able now. There is no more reason
for a man or woman eating with

Looking back over the year we:
find our five important diplomatic

For 1928 we only hope that there
will be fewer diplomatic confer

PRINCE WAS HIT HARD
Detroit Post Mortem Shows Evidence of Vicious Blow On Jaw of New Yorker Killed In Auto City.

Detroit, Nov. 25.-The body of Fredericl, W. Prince of New York, found dead in the hall of an apart ment house here early Wednesday under mysterious circumstances, bears the marks of a blow struck against the jawbone, two inches to the right of the chin.
 This was announced by County physicians today as having been re- vealed in post mortem examina- tion yesterday. Following the post mortem, the physicians said no marks of a blow had been discovered and said today that yesterdays discovery was kept from the public to permit detectives to follow clues arising out of the theory that Prince was slain.
 Wesley H. Pett, husband of the woman upon whom Prince and a party of friends called at her apart ment, is being held by the police pending a further investigation. Pett returned home unexpectedly, it is said, and broke into the room where a party is said to have been in pro- gress.
 The physicians refused to an- nounce whether the blow they say Prince received would have been suf- ficient to cause death.

DUBLIN MUCH LESS EXERCISED TODAY
Night Passes Quietly and People
 Feel ReaSSured

Dublin. Nov. 25. -- tBy Associated Press)--Last night passed quickly in Dublin. and the feeling of uneasiness caused by the execution of Erskine Childers yesterday seemed greatly les sened today.
 Friends of Childers made state ment to the press today saying that Mrs. Childers received an official in timation at 9:45 o'clock yesterday of her husbands execution. This. it is stated, was the first notification she had that the execution was fixed for yesterday
 The statement also declares that Childers was first told Monday morn ing to prepare for execution.
 In the opinion of hlany students of the Irish imbroglio, the execution of Childers will be likely to intensity the bitterness of the fight between the free state proponents and the republi- cans. Thus far, however, his deats has not. provoked any expressions of regret either from the old unionists, the old nationalists or the former Sim Fein colleagues of Childers who are now supporting the government. The constant killing or wounding of national army soldiers, the destruction of property and other acts of violence incident to the campaign of the ir- regulars. which rightly or wrongly have been largely attributed to the influence of Childers. seems to have robbed the executed man of sympathy in any but republican quarters.
