GIRL DREAMS AS
THIEF WORKS

A nightmare experienced by Jane
Mayo Evans, IL years old, Of S433
Thirty.fourth st. N. W.. almost re.
suited in apprehension Of a burglRr
who entered the house during the
early morning hours today and
escaped with a diamond brooch,
valued at $500: two pins and
bracelet of lesser value. and $50 In
bills.
According to Mrs. o. r. Evans.
she had expected her husband to
come in late so took the little girls
room and left the child occupying
the other bed in the room in which
the father would sleep.
Sometime during the morning.
Jane ran into her mothers room
and told her that she had just had
nightmare and was terribly
frightened. She also said that as
she came in. she thought she 0aw
q man running down tfJh steps.
Attributing the last statement
to the nightmare, no investigation
was made until later. when the
family arose. It was then dis.
covered that burglar had ran
sacked all the dresser drawers, OBJ
tanning the money from q jewel
case and had searched Mr.. Evans
pockets. taking the money and
scattering his private papers about
the floor while he slept. This was
discovered by Jane.
A strange fact of the burglary,
according to Mrs. Evans, was that
he had apparently desired no
jewelry excepting that containing
diamonds. The twoS other rings
and bracelets were both imitation
diamond pieces. she said. and he
failed to take several gold pieces.
including an antique brooch of con.
siderable value. The diamond
brooch contained between 81 and
so diamonds with seven larger ones
in the center.

NopU, Bill, that's a somewhat

loVe anybody else they Wont,
and in that starry World be-

besides that, tphem they 90 to

country, agrees to marriage as

Hundreds Of Endorsements from
Indianapolis people have already
been published about this remark
able compound and one of the latest
is from Mr.. u. D. Eaton, 1914 Spann

IT gladly indorse Konjola as a
great medicine because I never
thought any one remedy could help
me. 1t banished the neuritis pains
and stomach miseries I had been
suffering for years.
81 was enduring the worst mis-
cries I believe any one could suffer.
I always had to be taking something
for my stomach. Drug store rene
dies, doctors prescriptions, and in
digestion tablets all had part in
my life, and kept trying first one
thing and then another as each
remedy lost its effect. Temporary
relief was the best could get,
then in recent years I began to have
real signs of serious stomach trou-
BILE, and my condition was getting
so bad that I was scared.
mo matter what I ate or how
much, was sure to suffer from ter
rible cramps, awful gas bloating and
indigestion pains. Lots of times I
had spells with my heart, and could
hardly breathe. I never spent a
full night in sleep in months, and I
never got up in the morning feeling
good. All of my food tasted the
same and I ate only to sustain life.
Besides all this I have been suffer-
ing with neuritis pains for years.
Terrible shooting pains would grab
me every now and then. I was in
misery most of the time and often
the pains were more than I could
stand. The worst thing about my
case was that nothing could be
found to help me.
about this time was urged to
get Konjola. / never heard Of this
new medicine before, but 1 thought
it was worthy of trial because the
people of Indianapolis were recon-
mending it themselves. At first I
noticed a little improvement, but
after the first week I was getting
better every day, and 1t seemed like
each morning I was getting better
than I did the morning before. In
a little while I could eat anything
put on the table, and my digestion
was perfect. AS all this toxic pois-
on was being driven out of my sys-
tenn, the neuritis pairs grew less
and less, until now they have disap-
peared entirely, With all my health
troubles gone, I feel like a new man
and find a new joy in living. give

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youth full appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just q few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's appearance a huEdred-fold.
 Don't stay gray. Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" for only 75c. It is merely the old-time recipe inn proved by the. addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready to use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it dark ems so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another ap- plication or two. it's natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you ap- pear years younger. adv.
