Had Years Of Gas
and Stomach Agony
Finally Found Right Remedy.
Health Perfect Now. Gaining
Weight.

People who dread every meal be-
cause of the stomach pains they
know it means, will be glad to know
how Miss Edna A. Dane, 220 NJ
Winnebago ST., Rockford, Ill, es-
capped from this dreadful affliction.
She writes:
"For three years, after every
meal, 1 suffered agony with indiges-
ton, gas pains, and biliousness.
Food soured and nauseated me. A
few months ago, I had a severe
stomach attack that kept me in
bed six weeks. I couldn't hold any
food on my stomach. and got ex-
tremely weak and lost weight rap
idly. Nothing seemed to help me,
and was terribly discouraged when
I happened to read about Viuna and
decided to try it. That was the
turning point. Before I had fin
ished the first bottle, felt a great
change for the better. Now my
stomach is fine, andsI can eat any
thing without any pain, sournesS
or belching. The headaches, which
were terrible, have all gone, and so
have the hot flashes. am better
in every way than I have been for
years, and am rapidly regaining my
lost weight"
viuna acts promptly on sluggish
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. 1t
purifies the blood, clears the skin, re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if
you're not glad you tried Viuna, your
money will be refunded. 81 at druggists,

Mrs. Speed had talked with her
next-door neighbor over the back
fence. The conversation eased her
mind wonderfully. The neighbor had

GUST CORRUPT
POLITICS With
court RULING
Democrats Regain Power
as Louisville UndergoeS
Big Cleanup.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
LOUISVILLE, June 20.-Corrupt
politics in this city have just under
gone q terrific setback that will
change the complexion of the city
government from Republican to
Democrat.
The recent decision of the Court
of Appeals in reversing a lower court
has caused the custer of forty-nine
Republican city officials and nine
Republican Jefferson County Off
Gals.
Among those ordered removed be-
cause of election of frauds are
Mayor Arthur A. Will, several
judges, the sheriff, the city auditor
and the city treasurer.
Their removal charges Governor
William j. Fields, a Democrat, with
the duty of filling the fifty-eight
vacancies.
The court decision reaches back
to the election of November, 1925,
and rules that because of fraud there
was no election. The Democratic
candidate for mayor at that time
was Joseph L. ONeal.
Opponent of Racing
The Kentucky Derby, Louisville
racing classic, may become factor
that will keep O'Neal from stepping
into the post Mayor Fields must so
unceremoniously vacate.
O'Neal is not favorable toward
racing in Kentucky. He was a Y.
M. O. A. secretary overseas and
once you meet him you feel conf
dent he'd rather see racing "out"
than "in."
The Democratic city and county
executive committee is clamering
for O'fJears appointment as we'll as
49, The f1fty-seven other 1925 can
gtes for the vacated offices.
y In case Governor Fields selects
O'Neal he will go against the States
racing element, generally conceded
to Be Democratic.
Whether O'Neal or some other
Democrat is appointed, he will serve
only until November, when success
sors to all the vacated offices will
be elected.
Scheme" Exposed
Going back to the 1925 election
again, the Court of Appeals found
that scheme" was concocted by
an elmer circle of practical men in
the Republican organization to get
into the ballot boxes sufficient num-
Der of false Republican ballots to
insure seating of the Republican
candidates.
Unlawful registrants were admit
ted to the courthouse through a
back door, so they might not be
delayed by voters entering regu-
larly.
Negroes were given preference IN
voting lines and indecent language
was used around registration places
in order that white women might
be frightened away.
Dead men" voted and many IL
legal voters cast ballots once, then
changed clothes and voted again.

Lola was a breath of May breeze in

TRAFFIC Was HEAVY ON
STATE ROADS MONDAY
Memorial Day Travel Kept State PO-
lice Busy To UntangIe Traffic

Travel on the fine concrete high
ways OF Delaware reached huge pro-
portions on Memorial Day, and as a
result the entire State Highway Po-
nee torce was kept busy until after
midnight keeping the lines of travel
open and guarding against accidents.
That their efforts were successful is
attested by the fact that but one ac-
cldent was reported on the main ar
terles during the day. This occurred
on the du Pont road near Pine Tree.
IN New Castle county in the evening.
when two pleasure cars and a truck
loaded with strawberries collided.
None of the occupants were danger
ously injured.
The State Highway Police report
ed that 1882 cars passed the police
station located at State Road be-
tween noon on Monday and midnight.
OF this number 1881 passed over the
du Pont Highway coming from the
lower part of the State and 1881
came from the glasgow road which
leads to Elkton, Baltimore and
washington. The busiest hour for
the police was between z and 8 o.
CLOCK in the evening, when 1895
cars passed the station. Persons
from lower Delaware who had been
IN Philadelphia and Wilmington met
a continuous stream of automobiles
as they came home Monday evening.

There was the premier end man,
"Tanglefoot" Mayhem, the proud

Meet My Sweetie Now" with such
poppy little steps. "Slimfoot" Wind
sor was present as the other prem

ic actions. He objected to Milford's
change of "petticoats," and although
he was told his voice needed train
ing at "Sing Sing" the audience
found his song, Hi Ho the Merrio,"
simply great. Then there was "Duck-
leg" Denney, fastidiously disliking

might "go dry" and who showed

MANY PARTIES REPORTED
In TOWN DURING PAST WEEK
Social Activities Continue As Sum-
mer Season NearS

Louder Grier was host to a num-
ber of his friends at Slaughter Beach
on last Friday evening. The guests
drove to the beach in automobiles
from the home of Miss Grace Swain,
where they had assembled at about
1880. Around a roaring bon fire a
lively evening was spent, with the
ukelele and banjo contributing plen-
ty of pep and enchantment to the
scene of merriment. There was an
appropriate supper with the usual
toasting of marshmallows, hot dogs
and rolls. And the party was voted
a huge success by all those present.
The guests were: Misses Ruth Pier

JAS. M. TUNNEL, JR.,
PLACED SECOND in
NATIONAL CONTEST
Georgetown Youth Near Victory
In Oratorical Contest At Wash
ington Friday.
GIRL CONTEST WINNER
The Decision Was Surprise To
Audience Who Apparently
Favored Delaware Lad.

Five justices of the United States
Supreme Court last Friday night
pronounced James M. Tunnel, Jr.,
of Georgetown, the best boy orator
in the United States. But they also
gave it as their judgment that Miss
Dorothy Carlson of Salt Lake City,
Utah, was better orator than any
of the six youths in the fourth Ma
tional Oratorical Contest and award
ed her a silver loving cup in token
of her national supremacy.
In order, the winners among the
seven contestants were: First, Miss
Carlson; second, Mr.. Tunnell; third,
Jefferson Meagher of Binghamton,
N. Y.
Had the decision been left to the
audience of more than 5000 who
crowded the Washington Auditorium
there is scarcely room for doubt
that the premier honor would have
been voted overwhelmingly to the,
Delaware contestant.
Tunnel was fifth on the program
in order of delivery of the orations
and the spontaneous applause and
actual cheering that marked his per-
Grafton indicated Enthusiastically that
he was the choice of the audience so
far as the first five contestants were
concerned. The sixth speaker clear
ly was outclassed and the Grafton of
Miss Carlson, who spoke last, did not
greatly impress the audience, as was
demonstrated Is minutes later when
the awards were announced.
People in all sections of the audi
torium uttered expressions of sur
prise at the decision of first honor,
and coupled these expressions with
the instant observation that "the
Georgetown boy" ought to have had
first prize. The general opinion
seemed to be that the sex of the win
ner, and her admittedly graceful de-
livery and attractive personality, had
been factors in her favor.
All along the aisles as the crowd
filed out, people told each other that
''in their opinion" the Delaware
youth deserved first honor.
Tunnell's oratory had a quality of
and conviction which en-

THAD WINDSOR HURT
In AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Hotel Proprietor Narrowly Escaped
Serious Injuries Tuesday Afternoon

Thad Windsor, owner and propri-
etor of the New Windsor Hotel in
Milford, narrowly escaped serious
injuries, and probably death when
his automobile turned over and was
wrecked near the Wild Flower Tea
House, south of Dover, late Tuesday
afternoon. Mr.. Windsor was driving
south on the du Pont Highway at
the time of the accident. An automo-
bile truck backed out from a filling
station Immediately in front of him,
and he was compelled to swerve to
miss hitting it. In so doing he drove
toward another truck parked along
the road and in attempting to miss
this truck he overturned his car.
The automobile turned completely
over several times and was a total
wreck. Mr.. Windsor was cut Sc
verely about the wrist and sustained
scratches on the chin. He received
temporary aid from physician who
was passing at the time after which
he was brought to the Marshall
Hospital here were the severed vein
in the wrist was sewed up. That Mr..
Windsor did not sustain serious or
fatal injuries is considered almost a
miracle by those who saw the auto
mobile in which he was riding i'm

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR
Big CROPS In STATE
Cold, Wet Spring Has Aided Farm
ers Says DR.. J. F. Adams, Plant
PathOlOsist.

Delaware fruits and vegetables
this spring are having one of the
best growing years in many years,
according to plant and agricultural
officials. At this time, all things
point to one of the best years the
State farmers have ever enjoyed, al
though adverse conditions may arise
later that might possibly mar the
present optimistic outlook.
While the season has been cold
and rainy, crops have grown splend-
idly and the cool weather has been a
help rather than drawback. Ac-
cording to DR.. ]. F. Adams, plant
pathologist of the University of Del
aware and the State Board of Agri-
culture, it will be interesting to sum
up the results of the low tempera-
lures this spring.
With such fruit as early apples
and also late ones, the rainy weather
is conducive to the growth of scab
on the fruit. But because tempera-
lures have been lower than normal,
this has prevented the scab from
extending and consequently the fruit
has suffered very little damage up to
this time.
On the other hand, the cool wet
weather has not been so continu-
ed as to check the growth and the
fruit is coming along nicely. While
no one expects as large crop of
early apples as prevailed last year,
it is believed that in the general re-
suit the financial returns will be
satisfactory or at least as much so

EGG PRICES WILL BE LOWER
SAYS POULTRY EXPERT
DIR. C. L. Benner Says Delaware
POultrymen Must Reduce Costs

The daily egg records from 58,840
hens and pullets, representing 167
farms throughout the State, wero in
cluded in the April report of the
Delaware Farm Egg Record Club
which was prepared by H. S. Pal
mer, Extension Poultryman of the
University of Delaware, and mailed
to the members few days ago
through the Offices of the county ag-
ricultural agents. :?
OF this total number of birds, 49,
$40 of them were pullets with an av-
erage production of 18 eggs. 16,008
were hens whose monthly average
was 15.9 eggs, and 1882 birds COM
prised the mixed fiocks of both hens
and pullets which gave an average
production of 17.7 eggs during the
month Of April.
The chief point stressed in this re-
port was the egg marketing situa-
ton in Delaware and in this con-
nection, the following article was
prepared by DR.. H. S. Gabriel, who
is working with DR.. G. L. Benner of
the University of Delaware on this
particular marketing problem:

ically as possible during the coming

NEGRO PRISONER LEAVES
JAIL, KILLS HIS NIECE
Samuel Barratt Still At Large After
Murder Near WOOdside

Samuel Barratt, colored, ageo
about So years, is alleged to have
shot and killed his niece, Ethel Bay
nard, colored, aged 27 years at the
home of her mother near Woodside
late Tuesday afternoon. State high
way and county officers searched the
wood near Woodside throughout
most of the night and Wednesday
for the alleged murderer without
success. Barratt is also sometimes
known as Samuel Jones.
In addition to killing Ethel Bayn-
ard it is alleged that Barratt also
shot his sister, Mrs. Frances Bayn-
ard, mother of the murdered girl and
shot at Rosalie Baynard, a sister of
Ethel's. The mother is said to be in
a serious condition.
Barratt was prisoner in the Kent
county Jail, where he was serving a
six months sentence for carrying
concealed a deadly weapon. His
term would not expire until Septem-
Der. He was treated by the sheriff as
trusty and was allowed to go out
side the Jail.
Barratt is said to have had bad
reputation and has served time in
Jail before. Under these circum-
stances there is considerable criti-
cism of the fact that he was allowed
to apparently leave the jail at will.
1t is claimed that Barratt was en-
amored with his niece and was jeal-
Gus of Levi Freeman, colored, of st.
JOnec Mack who WAS kpnning cOrn-
pany with her. He had tried to get
her to come to Dover to live and it
is reported that he had told her
she could get work with the Sheriff's
wife.

Sen. DUPONT PRESENTS
FARM BULLETINS
Books Bound In Several Volumes
And Given To Schools And
Oranges.

The public libraries, colleges, high
schools, and oranges of Delaware
have just received a demonstration
of the constructive statemanship OF
Senator DUPONT of Delaware.
Each year the Department of Agri-
culture apportiOns Farm Bulletins to
Senators, and the present fiscal year
each Senator was allotted 1900 bull
letins.
To make. selection from the
many subjects and then distribute
the same so that constituents receive
bulletins of interest and value to
them presents difficult problem to
each member of Congress.
These bulletins of the Department
of Agriculture cover a wide latitude
of subjects, and contain fund of in
formation of practical value to the
farmer, dairyman, fruit and vege-
table grower, and the housekeeper.
Instead of promiscuously mailing
Senator DUPONT wished to make the
information in these bulletins avail
able to every citizen in Delaware
who cared to take advantage of the
same.
The Senator selected 2S4 of the
Departments bulletins, divided and
indexed them into related subjects,
and bound them into sets of eight
volumes each:
Volume (D The Farm-Including
farmstead, implements, etc.
Volume (2) Farm Crops-Includ-
ing alfalfa, corn, clover, etc.
Volume (3) Farm Stock-Includ-
ing cattle, cheese, milk, horses,
swine, sheep, etc.
Volumes (4) and (5)-Berries,
vegetables, etc.
Volume (6)-Fruit-In ap-
pies, cherries, peaches, etc.
Volume (O-Trees, flowers, etc.
Volume (8)-Bees, birds and poul-
try.
The Senator has presented a set
of these volumes to the public Ii
braries, colleges, high schools, and
oranges in Delaware so that any
citizen of Delaware will have them
within easy reach.
Through these volumes many will
learn of Government bulletins of in
