GIRL ATTACKED
IN LONELY WOOD
Makes Appointment With Stranger
on Promise of Being Given
Job-kan Escapes.
Especial Moline seryies,)

Lured into the woods by a man
with whom she had made an ap-
pointment on the premise of being
given employment as a house maid,
a 16-year-old girl was criminally
assaulted yesterday morning in a
secluded spot east of the end of
the Prospect park car line. The
man escaped after making the at
tack. Police officials, notified of
the attack by the girls father,
searched the woods and surround
ing territory, but we're unable to
find the man.
According to the girls story she
had made an appointment with the
man, who told her he would meet
her at the end of the Prospect park
line and accompany her to his
home. He said that his mother was
i'll and that he would probably be
able to give the girl employment
for several days. He gave a name,
which the police believe is fictitious.

WHY We SHOULD
Battle INTERNALLY

Physicians agree that most human
ills are caused by accumulated
waste in the lower intestine-Head-
aches, biliousness and that tired
feeling" are but the forerunners of
much more serious ailments, and
more drugs are used with the mis-
taken idea of Kidding us Of this
waste than for al other ills con-
bined.
Why not try the uHfailing and
perfectly natural method of bathing
internally with the u. B. L. Cas-
cade," and keep the intestine always
clean and free from all poisonous
waste.
Over a million progressive Amer
leans are now using it, have bade
goodbye to that Aalf-sick feeling
and are consistently proof against
many ills, as well as arising every
morning elear-headed and eager fog
the duties Of the day.
Ask us for a little book "Why
Man of Today is Only 500 DM-
cient." You will learn interesting
