Police Doubt That
Missing Dieters .
Took His Own Life

New York, Nov. "a different
light was shed today on the disap-
pearance of Richard Dieters, a tele-
phone operator in the Crescent Ath-
letic club in Brooklyn.
The police, who yesterday found
Dieters' hat and coat, we'll identified
through letters, on the Manhatten
bridge, expressed belief he was not
dead at all. Mrs. Dieters had told
the authorities she feared her hus-
band had been murdered or driven
to suicide by "a wealthy engineer"
who, she said, had accused him of
having obtained possession of letters
sent him by a woman.
The police, unable to find Dieters'
body in the East River, indicated
they thought that the hat and coat
might have been planted. In this
connection it was revealed that Die
ters' disappearance followed institu-
ton of a police investigation to de-
termine what had become of two
letters which had been torn in half
and dropped into a wastepaper bas-
ket in the club. Dieters, the police
theorized might have become fright
ened and dropped out of sight for q
few days.
Ralph Handle, captain of bellboys
at the club, told attaches of the dis
trict attorneys Office that last week
he was taken to a police station and
questioned concerning his knowledge
of two letters alleged to have been
written to +. r. Jeffe, a commercial
engineer employed by the Brooklyn
Edison Company and a member of
the club. He said he later was al
lowed to go.
According to Handles story, he
and Dieters, on October q, saw Jeffe
tear two letters in half and drop
them into a basket. Hande said
that Dieters had asked him to pick
up the letters and hand them to him.
Handle complied and said he saw
Dieters paste the torn pieces togeth-
er and read the letters.
Handle asserted he refused his fell
low employees invitation to read
them and instead, tore the letters
into small pieces and threw them
down a waste pipe.
Jeffe and Mrs. Jeffe later were
questioned separately. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Cuff declined to make
public an extensive statement given
him by Mr.. Jeffe and District Attor-
ney Dood. after interviewing Mrs.
J effe, said:
II do not feel that 7 can tell any
detail of the story told me by Mrs.
Jeffe.. 1t was given to me in strict
EST confidence"

Paris in Dark Also

Paris, Nov. Shy A. P.)-Noth-
ing developed in Paris today which
tended to throw any light upon the
exact nature of the statement Am
bassador Jusserand was instructed
by Premier Poincare to make to
Secretary of State Hughes regarding
the proposed inquiry into Germany's
capacity to pay reparations.
Whether the instruction of the
premier, the latest of which were
dispatched to the ambassador in
Washington last Saturday. contained
suggestions which might relieve the
reported lack of harmony on the ra1t
of the Washington government with
the French viewpoint as set forth in
the public utterances of the premier.
could not be aScertained in official
quarters today. There was, however,
no apparent indication that anyone
in authority held the belief that the
premier had evinced any inclination
to depart from his resolution to stick
to his announced policy.

Trained Nurses Praise
the Merits of Tanldc

One Of the outstanding features in
connection with the Tanlac treat
ment Is the large number of pro-
fessionally trained nurses who
have found the medicine of such
wonderful merit that they have
come out with public statements
telling of the remarkable results ac-
complished by it USE Owing to the
wide experience of nurses with va
rious medicines and in the care of
the sick, what they have to say
about Tanlac will be read with ex-
ceptfonal interest by the public gen.
orally.
Mrs. I. A. Borden, 425 Pontius
Ave, Seattle, Wash, a graduate of
the National Temperance Hospital,
chicago, and for many years lead
er IN her profession, pays the fol-
lowing tribute to Tanlac:

years in the treatment of my charity
patients. For keeping the stomach,

system in general, Tanlac has no
equal"
Mrs. L.. A. Lorentzen, graduate Of
Bellevue Hospital, New York. now a
wealthy and influential resident of
2S5 Faxon, Ave-, San Francisco, says:
I'm all my experience as a nurse,
I never found a stomach medicine
and tonic that compares with Tan
lac. My own health was terrible five
years ago and although I spent hun
.dreds of dollars in a vain search for
relief from nervousness, indigestion
and my generally rundown condi-

A well-known Maine Pharmaceu-
tical chemist. Ralph F. Burnham of
Auburn. discovered what MANY den
lists and dental authorities praise as
the most effective treatment for the
prevention of pyorrhea. It ia a
pleasant preparation which checks
pyorrhea If it has started and pre-
vents it from starting IL the gums
are healthy. Mr.. Burnham has
named his discovery Eukathol. It
is a liquid to be used as a mouth
wash in addition to a dentifrice.
Eukathol destroys germs in the
mouth: 1t changes the mouth from
acid to alkaline so that germs can

from spreading and restores affected
gum tissues to a healthy condition:
it hardens soft gums: relieves infiam-

for me, but also because of what I
have seen it do for others. After a
long spell of typhoid my brother
was so weak he could barely walk
from one chair to another. I gave
him Tanlac and it was simply mar
velous the way it built him up.

could eat but little and my food hurt
me. Tanlac restored my strength

Morals From Peacock

Nature is an Incompatible artist,
ever at work creating beautiful
things in profusion. The esthetic
feeling is everywhere manifest. Look
at the peacocks feather. The ma
terial brought by the blood to the
barbules composing each feather is
the same for all, yet each part Sc
lects a particular pigment and ar.
ranges it in such a way as to har-
monte with the general scheme.
The distribution of these pigments
varies in each barbule, and is so con-
trived that the whole forms an OBJ
ject remarkable both for regularity
of design and for beauty of coloring;
the eye of a peacock's feather.
Does the hand that guides the pig
ment have more love for the pea
cock than for man? Verify not. II
man could learn to appreciate the
love that designs and makes the
peacock possible. he would not say:
There is beautiful bird but it lays
no eggs" If man wished to live
according to the way that same
great love has asked him to live. he
would appreciate in man the efforts
to speak in natures universal Ian
guage. and the soul of the artist
would be dealt with kindly. We
would pluck the peacocll's feather,
so let us not be ungrateful and Of
fend natures esthetic feeling by lack
of forgiveness to our fellow man.

So many do not seem to appeal to the
public; one does not seem to care
what happens to his neighbor from his
neglect. Indifference to the welLknown
laws OF sanitation on your part often
makos your friend. neighbor or asso-
clate sick. Then he suffers, loses time,
transmits the disease, has doctors and
drug bills to pay, nurses and hospital
bills possibly, and sometimes a flIne
raI.-all these and other angles have
little effect on the vast majority Of
people; they do not see through public
health spectacles. But, when you pre-.

listen.
Then from this angle only we cal
