limbs, then my hips and arms and
shoulders became affected so that
my whole body seemed to be a solid
mass of aches and pains. I couldn't
sleep at nights, but would have to
sit I'D and rub myself to get relief
and for six months I had to hold
onto chairs and furniture to get
around the house. My kidneys were
affected, so 1 was frequently dis

always achy. I had blood tests,
spinal treatments, special medical
attention, and mineral baths, yet
my suffering continued.

REPORTER SUING
 BUNNY FOR LIBEL
Tabloid Paper Employe Asks S250,000 Damage of Browning

New York, Feb. 4 F-Edward West Browning, real estate man, to- day was under s10,000 bond in a newspaper reporters libel action Ito ! prove that a newspaperman's repu- tation Is as sacred" as that of a member of any other profession. Browning was technically under arrest for more than two hours late yesterday before his lawyers provid- ed bonds for his appearance in a S250.000 suit brought by Arthur Lee MeHord, a New York tabloid report CT.
 The reporters suit Is one Of a series pending against Browning, whose recent separation suit at White Plains against his wife, Peaches" attracted wide attention.
 "The belief that you can't libel a newspaperman is general one, !" said Bernard H. Sander, counsel for Mefford, although 1t has no foun- dation that know of. To my knowl edge this is the first case of this exact character.
 We're going to show this great big wool wool man that the char acter of a newspaperman Is just as sacred as anybody else's."
 Mefford Is suing to recover on al- legged charges of Browning that the reporter kidnapped Mary Louise Spas, former ward of Browning. Tie reporter said Browning had threatened him when he took the girl to the office of his newspaper where, he says. she was paid $500
New Britain herald., 1927-02-04

for her story. The girl in her own right Is now suing Browning for S500.00O.
 "Oh, gee. What now?" exclaim- ed Browning as Deputy Sheriff John P. Murphy visited his office with a supreme court order directing his arrest or filing of 'to.o00 bor.d to guarantee appearance in Wefford's action.
 The deputy sherif lost patience while waiting to see Browning and shouted to an attendant: Tell him to come out or I'll smash in."
 "I'll come out" Browning re- piled. He accepted the order. Po- lice reserves had to disperse crowds that gathered in front of the build ing at the report that Browning was being arrested.
 Mefford has lost friends because of Browning's alleged charges. At torney Sander said. Mefford re- ceived a generally cool reception" when he recently visited his home in the south, the lawyer asserted.

 HIDDEN BY TREES
Hast Resting Place of Famous
 Philosopher

Yasnaya Polyana, Russia, Feb. .R-Unmarked and unadorned. the grave of Count Leo Tolstoy. great Russian writer and philosopher. remains hidden in his beloved woods where neither the voice nor footsteps of man intrude.
 The author of War and Peace'' sleeps under simple mound of clay surrounded by nine great oak trees in the depths of the forest near where he was born almost a hundred years ago.
 Russia has gone through revolu- tion. famine, plague and civil strife, but the old Tolstoy home. stead is much the same as when he died in 1910.
 The house in which he was born was removed many years ago, to be supplanted by the ten room brick and frame house in which he spent most of his life and wrote his masterpieces. Time. weather and neglect have dealt severely with it, but the soviet government has set aside a sum for its main tenance as a museum.
 Miss Alexandra Tolstoy, the writer's youngest daughter, has charge of the house and surround ing estate. She guards his books, family heirlooms and personal pos sessions with maternal care.

Providence, R. l.. Feb. 4 R = Fire destroyed three frame build ings and i've shacks Of the old muni- cipal garbage disposal plant on Kin sley avenue here at two o'clock this morning. and one man. watchman, was possibly fatally burned.
 For an hour. sparks and embers were carried on a strong northwest wind to rain down upon valuable in dustrial property over a half mile radius The buildings. which had been abandoned by the city except for storage purposes for some time, spread over an area of several acres, but so rapid was the sweep of the fire that within 45 minutes after the first alarm had been sounded the wooden structure had been levelled.
 Watchman Burned
 Omer Payette, the watchman, was asleep in one of the buildings when the nre started. He awoke, but be- fore he could reach the door his clothes had ignited. He was rushed to the Rhode Island hospital.
 A shed of the Terry, Buxton and Doane company, dealers in scrap iron, was partially burned, but the yards of the Hovey Lumber com pany and the garage of the New England Transportation company, containing 40 busses, were saved by the nremen.
 Four alarms were sounded to call out sufficient apparatus to extinguish the blaze and in spite Of the latness of the hour thousands of persons, aroused by the fire signals sounded by whistles of New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad locomo- tives, viewed the fire. The railroad has property in close proximity to the burned plant.
 Estimates Of the loss have not yet been made by city officials. The cause of the fire Is a mystery.
