Her Worst Worry Ended for a Dime! M~A
A Body Sweetness that Even Precipitation Can't Spoil

All the trick laxatives In the world can't tempt people who understand the properties of cascara.
 A hundred different drugs will purge the bowels, but a little natural Cascara purifies the system clear through. Cleanses even the pores of your skin. Renders precipitation as inoffensive as so much dew.
 Your grandparents took salts. V and slowly washed away the mu- cous membrane with the waste. Mineral oils are better. but they leave the coating that your blood must then carry off through the pores. But when you cascarize the system, you get rid of all the poi sons by normal muscular action of the bowels.
 Don't get In the habit of taking medicine for cOnstipatiOn-or even tor auto-intoXication. If you have the habit. stop it. A candy cascaret is a delightful form in which to take cascara; children love them and the taste tempts most grown-ups to take more" And what a comfort tC know you are in that clean, whole some condition that does away with any need of deOdorants. even in warmeSt weather!

 In City.

Cincinnati, Nov IS. R - Cinctn- nati's double trolley system for its street cars Is going into the discard,
 The sight Of the cars changing through city streets with two trol Icy poles extending above them, rolling along a double set of trolley wires, long has been curiosity to visitors.
 The popular conception was that the two tl'olleys gave the cars power to navigate Cincinnati's hills. But engineers of the traction com- pany, asking authority to install the universal single trolley system, pointed out that the opposite was true.

simultaneously with the delivery,
attorneys for the Condemned pair
prepared to draw up briefs based on

them there will be copies for Gov

appeals. and both sides to the forth
coming legal battle.
The time for an appeal by Mrs.
Snyder and her former sweetheart
has elapsed. but both have filed
applications for an extension on the.
ground of delay in printing.
So confident Is Mrs. Snyder OF
her appeal that she still worries
about how she will look when she
Hs released from prison.
Yesterday death house attendants
reported that she had determined to
let her bobbed hair grow back to it's
natural length. because she had
read that long tresses are the latest
dictate of Paris. Previous she had
worried lest her locks become too

by the prison barber.
She keeps up with all fashions in
her close daily reading of news
papers, the only items that arouse
her displeasure being those that
link her with Judd GRAY.

NEW BARCROF I
LOTS ON SALE

The first section Of North Bar
croft, consisting of 20 lots, will be
placed on the market for disposal
today. This property adjoins the
township of Bancroft and lies
directly north of the Bancroft sub
division. 1t is only four-tenths Of
mile from the proposed 22-foot
Lee Boulevard.
This is the first new property to
be- added to Bancroft, which has
sprung from q few scattered houses
to a thriving community of 125
families, and bids lair to rival its
neighbour.
Walter O'Hara, developer Of Bar.
croft and owner of the North Bar.
croft tract, is we'll known to Wash
ington real estate circles. His nc.
tivities in the real estate field here
covers a period of IL years. He
has also acted as sales agent for
Arlington Park, Aurora Hills, Will
lett Heights, Douglas and other SUBJ
divisions, all thriving subdivisions.
Having lived in Bancroft for more
than IA years, Mr.. O'Hara no
doubt is in a better position to
realize the benefits derived from
living in the open suburbs than
probably any one in the immediate
section. The many homes now In
Bancroft and the families daily
committing to Washington attest to
the value of northern Virginia as a
healthful, livable place for any
FAMILY.
