window and thick iron door,
unidentified robbers obtained
loot valued at more than 50, 900
early today in the jewelry
store of II. g. Norman & Co.,
in the 700 block H st. N. E.
The robbers are believed to have
been frightened away while at
work. as they scattered large
number OF diamond rings over the
floor and left thousands of dollars
worth of gems behind them.
Wrench Found
A large wrench was found In an
alley in the rear of the store. II
is believed to have been used in
smashing in a window Of a shed.
Once inside the barn, the robbers
wrenched a lock from the rear door
with a heavy bar.
All of the jewelry stoleN was
taken from two show cases. The
trays in which the rings and

their overcoats had been stolen from
the rooms of a social club above
the store during the night, They
said they had not heard the rob

Two bulky safes are located in
the store. The jewelry was not
placed in them last night because
H. G. Norman, the proprietor, had
not believed such a precaution
was necessary. He said the loss
was not covered by Insurance be-
cause he hda been unable to obtain
policy since the store was looted
about year ago.
The store was not equipped with

Rheumatism is easier to avoid
than to cure, states a well-known
authority. We are advised to dress
warmly, keep the feet dry, avoid
exposure, and above all, drink
plenty Of good water and avoid eat
ing sweets of all kind.
rheumatism is caused by body
waste and acids resulting from food
fermentation. 1t is the function OF
the kidneys to filter this poison
from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood
of this impurity. In damp and chilly
weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do dou-
BILE work; they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
waste and acids, which keeps &C
cumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in
the joints and muscles, causing
stiffness, soreness and pain, called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism

Mother Proud

Don't let constipation and its at
tendant ailments, such as head
aches, biliousness, feverishness,
fretfulness, sallow, "broken-out"
skin, ETC., pull your child down and
make her puny, listleSs and under
weight. At the first sign of bad
breath, coated tongue or feverish-
ness, give her a little California
Fig Syrup.
Children love the rich, fruity
flavor of California Fig Syrup, and
it never fails to start lazy bowels
quick. cleanse them thoroughly and
give tone and strength to them and
to the stomach so these organs con-
tinue to act normally, of their own
accord. 1t stimulates the appetite,
helps digestion, makes rosy cheeks,
bright eyes, helps build up and
strengthen children.
A well-known Indiana mother,
Mrs. Mary Todd, 1922 East Market
ST., indianapolis, says: MY little
daughter, Mildred, suffered from
biliousness and constipation until ]
thought it was going to keep her
delicate always. She was losing
weight when I started her on Cali
fornia Fig Syrup. In few days it
made world of difference in her
looks and actions. Now I'm proud
as I can be of her; she's so rudy,

block of Montello avenue northeast to
convey drinks from the basement mix
ing place to the customers, seated about
tables on the second floor, according to
Sergt. George M. Little, who led his rum

veStigated further. however, and scented
alcohol in a stair easement leading to
the basement.
Entry to the basement was guarded
by heavy cross -planked door, equipped
with a peep hole. To this Sergt. Little
applied an eye. He said he saw man
inside busy with number of bottles, SO
sent one of his officers to try for rear
entrance.
This move was successful, and the
officers got into the basement, they re-
ported, in time to seize Is pintS of
liquor. Police say seven bottles were
broken before they could prevent 1t.
They arrested two men identifying
themselves as Frank Clemente, % years
old, of the $500 block of Twenty-second
street northeast, and Floyd Johns of
Bowie, Md. They were charged with
possession of liquor
Sergt. Little was accompanied on the
raid by Officers Leo Murray and George
