Three Minute
Relief F 70 m
Your Headache

When you have one of those
violent, nerve-racking headaches,
from inorganic causes, you can
get soothing relief in three min
utes with "B. c." reliable, plea
ant-to-take remedy. "B. c." is
prepared by a registered pharma-
cist, compounded on different
principle from most relief-giving
agencies in that it contains sew
eral ingredients, SO blended and
proportional as to accomplish in
a few minutes what we believe no
one drug formula can do in so
short a time. "B. c." should also
be used for the relief of muscular
aches and pains, common colds
and neuralgia; for reducing fever
and quieting a distressed nervous
system without opiates, narcotics
or such habit forming drugs. Get
"B. c." in 10c and 25c packages,
wherever drugs are sold. (adv.)

Would Be Robbers
Enter High School

Parties entered the high school
building on Eighth avenue during
thursday night, according to po-
lice records.
Entrance to the building was
obtained by breaking a glass in
the door on the right side of the
building. The door into the super
intendent's office was also forced
and apparently an effort had been
made to enter the vault.
Parties apparently left the
building to get tools with which
to open the vault and were fright
ened away when local officers
chased them several blocks.
Superintendent F. M. Waters
explained that nothing was taken,
and that no money is kept in the
vault of the school building.

tinued, 81 read in the papers that
Lindbergh's son had been kid
mapped. l reached the conclusion
that Irving Fenton and yelling:
ton Henderson had knowledge of
the kidnapping or an active part in
it. l believed they would return
the child"
1t was on March a, he said, that
he received a telephone call from
Mrs. Mclean, asking him to uli'
dertake the recovery of the baby
On the same day he was intro
duced by telephone to Guggen'
helm. who, the witness declared
offered to obtain authority from
Lindbergh for Means to work on
the case.
Once more on that day his tele,
phone rang, Means testified, and
this time it was Fenton. They
agreed to meet in front Of Mrs
McLean's house that night.
81 drove to Mrs. McLean'E
and talked to Fenton. | asked
him if he had been able to locate
Henderson. Fenton said Hender,
son was in New Jersey. He asked
if l had seen the newspapers and
said we're in a devil of situa,
ton; we can't get rid Of that
baby told Fenton to keep IN
touch with me-"
By this time Mrs. Mclean was
actively interested in the case
She raised 100000 for ransom
and gave it to Means. 1t was II
old bills of 500 and $40 denomi
nations. Casually they stuffed il
into a cigarette carton, Means
said, but the bills did not quite
fill the box.
"Mrs. Mclean" the witness de
clared, "said to me, I've got
something to fill that boxp She
stuffed a wig that one of her serv'
ants wore at a George Washing
ton celebration. l have the wig
yet"
The testimony swerved here as
Means related how Mrs. McLear
asked him why he was sent to the
penitentiary in 1925. He said ht
at was for keeping my mouth
shut. | went because Mr.. William
J. Burns sent me to see Mr.. Elmer
Dover. then assistant secretary OF
the treasury, and was given per
mission to investigate Andrew
Mellon for the purpose of having
President Harding remove hin
from the cabinet. Mellon hac
shipped over & million dollars
worth of whisky to soldiers II
France and when he found h
couldn't sell it he had it shipped
back to this country and put II
government warehouses. From
there it was stolen BY use of false

Means then went over the ia
miliar story of trips to Aiken, S

was trying to establish contac
with the kidnapers. He saw Hen

1t seems that the human mind, indi-

human mind prefers to focus upon
the spectacular rather than upon the

Back In 1866 a lonely Moravian
monk discovered the laws of heredity
which o stand as the bedrock Of
the life sciences. No one In 1866
cared to take a look at this discovery,
for every one was arguing about some
Incidental gossip which grew out of

GRANDMOTHER
Whene'er / think of grandmothers,

And lear remembered dreams
| think OF modest mlgnonette
Dew ~-drenched at new days dawn;
Of perfumed sweetpea's pastel tints.
or shade upon a lawn.
| think OF Artemisia gray.
Like flagree of silver hair.
OF lips that speak of troubled hearts
Loves words of wisdom rare;
OF fragile Dresden china in
A corner cupboard old.
or eden hours OF new-wed love.
Too sacred to be told:
or shaded lights on autumn night.
And sound of summer rain;
or new born baby's lips against
NV breast that stings with pain;
or work worn hands, that yet are soft
That minister with loving care:
or love that makes cen d~rudgery
A shining halo wear
Oh precious. priceless grandmothersl
Without you. how great dearthl
Oh grandmothersi Life shows in you
True beauty on the earth.
