Why Women Look 60 at 40

With dark circles under their eyes, sallow complexions, drawn expressions, dropping shoulders, a tagging step, many women of forty have the appear ance of women of sixty. In many cases this condition is caused by overwork or neglect of such warning symptoms, as headaches, backache, nervousness, dis dicate ailments peculiar to women. If all women so afflicted would only rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound it would restore them to a normal, healthy condition, and the pre- mature signs of age will soon disap- pear.-Adv

FAMOUS WOMEN
By MRS. HADcLIFFn <

Mrs. Anne Radcliffe. who was among the first of the feminine nov elists of England to attain great popular recognition and liberal finan- cial recompense by her iabors. pub-' lished her first romance, "rhe Cas- ties of Athlin and Dunbayne," 1se years ago. This was followed in third book, "The Romance of the Forest" placed her on . pinnacle of success, and when she wrote her Mysteries of Udolpho" she was able to command the then amazing sum of $2,50o. So greatly did this increase her popularity that she was offered 5000 for her next work, "The Ital-' ian." Our ancestors used to sit up all night reading by candle light the thrilling tales of Mrs. Radcliffe, but she has few readers now.

Dear Reader: When things are up- set and your mind seems in a whirl, would it not be a good idea to close your eyes? Then you shut out the hurly-burly of the world and are at peace with yourself.
 As a matter of fact, the only con- fusion is in your own mind.
 What we are seeking in this world is peace, and if you have not found it, start the search now-start within, for there Is the kingdom. Faithfully,

New England, Then the Near

Shaver Announces.

New England and then the Near

northern Indiana. is the next cam

the Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency-according to announcement
by his campaign manager, Glenn l..

national committee.
For the present, and for some time
in the future, the Democratic stand

Mr.. Shaver, in a statement, assailed
Republican party leaders. declaring
they had denounced the La Toilette

revolutionists." The Republican plan.
he asserted, lis to raise up a specter
with which to terrorize the cautious
and timid into voting for the party in
power, which will continue things as
they are.
IF they can erect this dire threat
to the peace and security of the state,
they will then point to themselves as
the only true saviors, the only AFTER
native to the awful calamity which
they have conjured up.

since the leader of the party which
they so fiercely berate and thousands
of his followers were only a rev

these third party men have now so
quickly become dangerous charac-

ment,' what is it that has made them
so? One might say jestingly that the
very fact that they dared to leave
the Republican party was proof OF
their criminality, but there is sub
stantial reason for their conduct.
These men left the Republican
party at Cleveland because they hello

Neither King nor Wheeler realized
the negroes bullets had actually
penetrated their flesh until the boot
leggers had Jeen put to flight amid a
hail Of whistling lead. King is con-
fined to Casualty Hospital with a
slight bullet wound at the base of
his spine, and Wheeler went to his
home after being treated for crease

For months, white residents at
Croome. which is about miles from
Upper Marlboro, have been terror

dancers at the little colored church
there. it is said. Twice q week, when
the dances were staged. the white
residents were obliged to bar them
selves in their homes after o'clock
to prevent clash with the blacks,
and the authorities of Prince Georges
County were appealed to.

Only week previously Prohibition
Agents King and Wheeler had been
highly successful in breaking up a
similar condition at a church festival
in Clinton, the pastor of the church
having appealed to them personally
for assistance. Accompanied by Agents
McGilton and Tut and County Con-

fessional boot1eggers who supplied
the negroes with their intoxicants.
After waiting in vain, the officers
were going about their usual final
task of searching the automobiles
parked around the church. A group
Of men was noticed standing beside
one of the machines. and as the otfl-
GERS turned their backs, one of the
blacks opened fire, directing three
bullets at the law enforcers. The
first shot struck King. but he did not
think it had penetrated to the skin,
having been intercepted by several
thicknesses of clothing, bullet in
his own cartridge belt and several
more thicknesses Of leather betting.
Turning quickly. Wheeler opened
fire and Immediately . the fusillade
from the negro's gun ceased. Charg-
ing, the policemen surrounded car

the man whom they were sure had
shot at them. In the meantime King,
becoming faint, walked away. When
the others turned to help him. the
