Kellogg's ALL BRAN Relieved
Her Constipation

Read this splendid letter: "I
tried everything, with little or no
results. l felt miserable, was 20
but looked much older, and my skin
was continually breaking out.
"T decided to try ALL-BRAN,
three meals day for about week.
Elimination became regular; | felt
marvellous and looked better. Even
my outlook on life was changed."-
Mrs. Armand Hamel, Pawling, N. Y.
*Constipation due to insufficient
"bulk" IN meals.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN provides
"bulk" to aid elimination. 1t also
furnishes vitamin B and iron.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is gen.
tie - and safe for normal individ-
uals. More effective than "bulk" in
leafy vegetables, as it does not
break down within the body.
Isn't this natural food pleasanter
than patent medicines? Just eat
two tablespoonfuls daily. Chronic
cases, with each meal. If not re-
lieved, see your doctor.
Get the red-and-green package at
your grocer's. Much more
effective than part-bran tss,ss,
products. Made by Kellogg R
in Battle Creek.

Strawberries Continue
To Bring High Prices

Strawberries continue to bring most
flattering prices, ranging from about
$3.50 to $500 a crate. The season has
been a most profitable one and mil
lions of dollars will be brought to the
Shore as a result of the market of this
crop.
AS the potato season draws on,
some dealers are expecting to see this
a money crop also. A low price was
quoted in North Carolina, but this
was due to quality of fruit. Weather
conditions have been ideal for yields,
and the returns will be valuable.
Tomatoes, cabbage, beans and other
produce are bringing in good money
and 1885 looks to be a banner year
for the farmer, for which everybody
is thankful.

REHEARSALS FOR
MIXED PICKLES"
MUSICAL COMEDY
Mr.! And Mrs. Wheeler Start Re-

munity Hall

Rehearsals for "Mixed Pickles." Po-
comoke's big musical comedy, which
is to be presented at the Marva
Theatre on June 1918, under the aus
pieces of the local Lions Club, started
last evening at the Community Build
ing, large number, who are taking
part, being present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler of the Wheel
er Producing Company, deans in the
amateur producing line, and well
known through having staged several
very successful shows here in past
years, were present, explained the
show in detail, assigned parts and
chorus numbers, and the preliminary
work gotten under way.
The cast, which is to be large one,
include many of Pocomoke's best sing
ing, dancing, and dramatic talent, and
"Mixed Pickles" promises to be a
worth while and high class entertain
ment. One of the latest musical COM
edies, written for laughing purposes
only, it is one big laugh from start
to finish. The plot is most original
having to do with train wreck in
the mountains, and the mix-up of
Pickles, caused by mother and
daughter of that name, is the basis
of the play and the reason for many
hilariously funny situations. A var
iety of prettily costumed chorus num-
bers, captivating melodies and special
features, round out the proram.
The children, large number of
whom are to take part in beautiful
ly costumed pageant, "The Bouquet, u

Saturday afternoon.
The Lions Club are taking this
means of raising funds to be used in
correcting defective eyesight of our
grammar school children, most wor-
thy cause, and one that should have
the support of the community.

of Motor Vehicles, will send license
examiner to the various county seats
to hold hearings on the revocation and
suspension of motor vehicle licenses.
This service will start June 8.
Hearings will be conducted in the

mite schedule, but will have to be
governed by the number of offenses

ings will be conducted.
1t has been the practice to summon

just to burden the operator with this
additional expense"

financial hardship which will thereby
be eliminated" he said.

CHAS. A. Pussy
FOUND DEAD
ON HIGHWAY
Found Sunday Morning By c. T.
Ards Opposite Farm Of
Woodland Merrill
VERDICT AT THE INQUEST
FAILS TO FIND CAUSE

The dead body of Charles A. Pusey,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson Pusey,
of this county, was found on Sunday
morning last, lying on the roadside,
opposite the home of Mr.. Wood Mer-
rill, on the Pitts Creek road. Life
had been extinct. according to opinion,
about four hours. The body was found
by Mr.. c. T. Ards, who was return
ing to his home after serving his Po-
comoke milk customers.
Wounds were perceived only on the
head, with the exception of bruise on
the left shoulder blade. The head,
however, gave evidence of severe
blows, inflicted in way and manner
which the jury of inquest was unable
to determine. But, however done,
there was no mistaking they were the
cause of Mr.. Pusey's death. The
skull was seriously fractured in two
places, and on the right side of the
face there were marks which might in
dictate some blunt instrument may
have been used. Some teeth were
loosened, and, indeed, the whole head
was terribly mangled.
According to the meagre evidence
brought before the jury, the deceased
was last seen about 1870 p. NJ, Sat-
urday, apparently on his way to the
Pitts Gees neighborhood. Just how
he met his death could not be judged.
Whether he may have been sitting on
the stone road and struck by an auto
mobile; or whether he was foully muir
dered at that spot or carried there af-
ter the deed, has remained up to this
writing, mystery.
Coroner J. 7. Riley summoned, on
Sunday morning, the following jury
of inquest: R. Cephas Perdue, fore
man, James Sexton, Alonza E. Hol-
land, William B. King, Clayton F.
Lambertson Burleigh A. Payne, Geo.
P. Byrd Stanley P. Lambden and Will
lard r. Richardson.
After hearing what scant evidence
was introduced, the jury rendered the
following verdict: THAT the said
Charles A. Pusey came to his death
by a cause unknown, and by unknown
means; and, believing said death to be
of suspicious circumstances, we rec
cmmend that thorough investigation
be made on the part of the State and
County in an effort to determine the
real facts in the case"
The deceased was SO years of age
and a man of no family he residing
with his parents. Funeral services
were held on Tuesday at the fathers
home.
The pallbearers were: r. Cephis
Perdue, B. F. Sturgis, Robert Hurley
Woodland Merrill, Archie Bevans and
John Mason. Rev. Mr.. Ditto was the
officiating minister. Burial was in
Nelson's cemetery at the Maryland
Virginia line.
He is survived by two brothers and
three sisters. Curtis c. Pussy, POGO

Fatal Occupational
 Accidents Increase

 By National Report on Injuries

greater-11.3 per cent. This upturn in company mortality, the statis- ticians point out,- is the first ex- perienced in the trend of death rates from occupational injuries since the beginning of the depres- sion period.
 From the relatively high figure for .occupational fatalities of 35.9 deaths per 100000 policyholders in 1929, the latest year of fairly high business activity" the statisticians say, "the death rate dropped 40.9 per cent to the low figure of 21.2 deaths per 100000 in 1893. The 1894 death rate exceeded not only the 1883 rate, but that for 1882"
 Occupational automobile fatali- ties were particularly disturbing item of the insurance company's 1884 mortality record. Deaths from this cause exclusive of collisions between automobiles and railroad trains, and engines, and collisions between street cars and automobiles Increased 2l.6 per cent. The death rate of AS per 100000 for occupa- tional automobile fatalities in 1884 has been exceeded only once in A years-tiiat of 1881, when the~rate was 4.8 per 100000.
 The statisticions say that an in- creased death rate was reported among the policyholders for each of the principal means of injury in 1884 as compared with 1883, with with the exception of accidental burns and traumatism in mines and quarrnies.
