TN 1875, an earnest young man
Il began 70 practice medicine. As
a family doctor, he treated many
cases of constipation. He soon
saw the harm in common purges
and began to seek something
better. Out Of his experience
was born a famous prescription
now in wide use.
This prescription was written
thousands of times. 1t proved an
ideal laxative for old and young.
Children ike its pleasant taste.
Older people like it because it

Anthracite coal prices will in
crease before the winter months set

New York, Aug. S LR - Alone in
Fifth avenues house of mystery"
50 year old Ella Wendell lives today
last of line ruled by real estate
for two centuries-sole holder of
100000
Until a few days ago two were
clustered in the only dwelling that
clings to midtown Fifth avenue.
among it's soaring skyscraper neigh
bors.
The other occupant. Miss Elias
sister, Mrs. Rehecca Wendell Swope,
is dead and Ella is alone in the shut
tered brick house.
The house, built in 1856 for $4,000
and now valued at 100000 was
one of the first links in the real
estate chain begun by John Wendell,
who laid upon his descendants the
duty of buying the choicest of New
York property and never thereafter
letting it go.
For many years Miss Ella lived
with five sisters and brother John
Gottlieb Wendell He refused to al
low his sisters to marry on the
ground that it would put portions of
the precious property under other
names than Wendell. He died in
1915.
Only one sister dehed the broth
er's edict. Late in life Rebecca
married Professor Luther A. Swope,.
a friend of the vicar of Trinity
church - and thereafter John Wen
del discouraged his sisters from 60
ing to church.
The sister remained in the old
house. lighted only by suffering gas
jets, without electricity, telephone,
radio or photograph.
They made their own clothes with
out the aid of a sewing machine,
designed in the style of the EOS
with full black skirts and tight bod
ices-and they wore them until they
were shabby.
Not in % years has the front door
been unbolted and the sisters never
appeared in public.
Only after dark did Miss Ella
venture forth for a few moments
to give the poodle, Tobey. an airing
in the high walled garden.
But Tobey is dead. the garden is
bare and Miss Ella walks there in
the dusk no more.

INQUIRY begun IN
CAPE COD BLAzES
Some Of Fires Suspicious, Au-
thorities Say Today

Plymouth, Mass, Aug. Up
State officials were today lnvestigat-
ing the forest fires at Bourne and
Plymouth that burned for nearly
three days over 80 square miles of
woodlands. destroying a score OF
more of summer cottages.
Reports that some of the fires
were of suspicious origin brought
about the investigation, which was
launched late last night, when, for
the first time in so hours, Forest
Warden Ida c. Ward of Plymouth
said that he could safely state the
blaze was under control without
fear of recurrence. Small smoul-
dering patches of fire were closely
watched by 100 members Of the
army Of fre-fghters, who were re-
leased from duty when the all out
was sounded. These small patches,
fire officials said, would. probably be
eXtinguished shortly by heavy rains
that were sweeping down the coast.
A check-up by airplane and mo-
tor showed the damage by the two
fires, one on either side OF the cape
Cod canal, would be considerably
less than at first believed. While
about $4,000 acres of woodland
we're burned over in the 80 square
mile area, only so acres of Gran
berry boys were destroyed and no
permanent homes were reached by
the fire. The damage, fire officials
said. would probably reach about
5000, 900.
Only one injury was reported in
the army of approximately 1000
fire fighters who have been battling
the two fires. Miss Mary Kenney Of
Somerville was burned about the
feet and legs while building a back
fire to save her parents summer
home at Big Sandy Pond.
