Bad Breath and Body
0dor of Constipation
Makes Sidney Lady
Like Hermit
SAYS ELATED OVER
WORLDS TONIC RELIEF

II stayed at home so much be-
cause of embarrassment about bad
breath and body odor that was get
ting to be regular hermit" said
Mrs. Katherine Cathcart of 113la
Brooklyn Ave., Sidney, Ohio. Il got
such help for this condition through
Worlds Tonic constipation relief
that I'd like for all women, now em-
barrassed as | had been, to know
about it. In the last few years /
had become a lot more constipated
and this brought on a lot of other
ailments besides the odor problem.
My skin was getting dull and sallow
and my eyes bloodshot and yellow
looking. Sometimes the back and
top of my head ached so much it
seemed it would split. I'd often
spend whole evenings with my hands
pressed against the back of my head
trying to ease the pains. The people
who came near irritated me and |
much preferred to be by myself. Of
course | had indigestion badly and
eating was another problem.
"Some older neighbor ladies told
me about Worlds Tonic and / used
it to ease the terrific constipation
headaches. / hardly expected to
learn that constipation was in fact
the cause of all my suffering. The
first bottle practically convinced me
of this, however. got splendid
elimination relief at once and when
| had finished the fourth bottle all
the frightful constipation results
were almost gone. The pains and
aches have left me and so has the
body odor. My indigestion is much
better and my breath feels sweet and
clean. I'm looking healthier all
around and feel more active than in
long, long time. I'm more than
elated over Worlds Tonic"
Worlds Tonic contains roots,
barks, herbs and leaves brought here
from various parts of the old world
although they grow in the United
States because many such ingredients
lack the medicinal values and are en-
tirely different in content, action and
result of those growing in old world
climates. Thus we find in Worlds
Tonic medicines made by nature be-
fore science, yet taking their place
with modern medical science.

''She has to know it ALL" Billy
insisted; from the very beginning"
81 can't hardly expect her to un-
dersfand how it come up. Those
shots I threw SO close to her-that's
the crazy part, that a man can't
hardly explain. couldn't ever have
done it, if | didn't know for certain
that | could put slug into a two
bit piece at a hundred yards-ten
out of ten, easy as you'd put your
finger on nail. 1t seems a wild
and crazy thing, even to me. But
/ tell you, never a man lived that
could throw the fear into me that
this kid has always been able to-
just on the scare that she'd quit
me. And I thought if there was one
thing she'd be sure of on earth, it
was that I'd give my life to save
the least hair of her head from
harm. And took that way; SO that
she'd always be dead certain, what
ever might happen or be proved
later, that it couldn't be true that it
was me killed Flagg."
"Oh, Horse, Horse" Marian said,
''how did it ever happen?"
1.-THE shoot-out with Flagg, you
mean?"
He told them now, step by step;
the story of an old gun-fghter, and
old ideals of justice and right. 1t
came out haltingly, as Horse Dunn
paced. But even told slowly, and
with an effort greater than they
could ever know. that story was
brief.
Until he met Bob Flagg on the
Red Sleep trail, Dunn had had no
advance word of his partners ar
rival. At that time he had already
been waiting for Flagg's arrival for
weeks-the very existence Of the "a
depended upon him; and Dunn was
shocked and astonished to meet a
frayed-out man on a worthless horse
and a saddle borrowed from rus
tler-and recognize this man as his
Arizona partner.

The Umbrella Bird

An umbrella bird is a South Amer
lean bird related to the bell birds
and cotingas, SO named because of
its large umbrellalike crest which
droops forward and almost conceals
the bill. A feathered tuft several
inches long also hangs down from
the breast. The bird is about the
size of crow with glossy black
plumage and builds a platformlike
nest in the tops of tall trees.

The 18th anniversary of the Har- per prize novel contest will be ob- served tomorrow with the publica- tion of Children of God" by Vardis Fisher, the winner of the 1939-1940 contest, which was selected by Louis Bromfield, Carl Van Doren and Jo- sephine w. Johnson from the hun dreds of manuscripts submitted.
 This is the ninth book to be awarded the Harper biennial prize. The eight previous winners and their novels are: "The Able McLaughlins," ," Margaret Wilson; "The Perennial Bachelor" Anne Parrish; "The Grandmothers," Glenway Wescott; "The Dark Journey" Julian Green; Brothers in the Vest" Robert Rey- holds; "The Fault of Angeles" Paul Horgan; Honey in the Horn," H. l.. Davis, and "The Seven Who Fled,' Frederic Prokosch.
 For Unknowns
 The Harper prize novel is chosen for conspicuous merit and the un- derlying purpose of the award is to give prominence and success to a writer who has not hitherto found a wide audience. Any author who is a citizen of the United States and who has not published novel in book form prior to January l, 1924, is eligible. The competition has been held every two years since 1922~23.
 The selection of the judges reflects their choice of the best manuscropt submitted for book publication. Mo- tion picture, dramatic and serial rights play no part in this award as basis for the judges decision. MT. Fishers novel is dramatic story of the building of the Mormon Empire in the United States. He was born March 31, 1895, in shack in Annis, Idaho, and his people are Mormons on both sides. He writes:
 "One of my mothers uncles was a captain in Brigham's exploring party accross the plains. Her father was polygamous. My paternal grand father was born in Nauvoo. I men, ton these only to suggest that from early childhood I have been familiar with the traditions of Mormonism I have not been affiliated with the church for more than twenty years and in its creeds and dogmas I have

until all the records impounded by the state during the lengthy inves- tigation were removed.
 Records Taken
 The last bundle of books, papers, and other records was returned to the city departments this morning. These represented records not in- troduced as evidence in the trial. All records used as evidence are in the custody of Superior Court Clerk George H. Freeman, who had them stored in the Waterbury National bank vaults.
 A strange quiet hung over the superior court building today as the guards retired. Since February, 1888, the building has been the scene of the most sensational de- velopments in the history of Con- necScut. The era of sensation reached its climax Monday night when Mayor Frank Hayes and q others received prison and jail sen- tences on convictions of conspiracy charges.
 At the courthouse this morning, as the records were being removed from the room where the grand jury conducted its Investigations, vari- ous assistants of the special prose- cutor bade farewell to friends and acquaintances resultant from their assignments.
 Greer in Charge
 Among them were Deputy Sheriff George L. Greer, believed to be first choice of States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn for appointment to the post of county detective vacated by Supt. of State Police Edward J. Hickey: John Sponzo, Lewis Cannon and James Hoey of the Alcorn staff and State Trooper James Parrott, who has been assigned here.
 Whether they would return in the near future was an important question, which went unanswered. For there are indications that the Waterbury extraordinary grand jury which is still a united group, might reconvene for further probings, after Special Prosecutor Alcorn completes the trial of four legislators in Hart ford. The four legislators were in- formed against by the grand jury.

Children of Cod Wins Harper Prize Contest
Story of Early Mormons Brings National Recognition to WPA Employe; Novel Written During Spare Time

no more interest than I have in those fo any other Christian sect; but for long time I have felt that the stor of Mormonism is one of the most dramatic and misunder- stood, and in some respects one of the most splendid, chapters in Am erican history. Of all the more in credible episodes, none has been in- vented, and none I think has been exaggerated I am not among those who believe that liberties are the privilage of the historical novelist if III any significant degree they dis tort the established historical facts"
 MT. Fishei collected material for his novel, Children of God" over a period of twelve years before he be- gan writing it. Hc started writing in the spring of 1887, finishing it early in 1889. During this period Fisher was carrying a full-time job with the WPA writers project. so he had to do most of the writing of the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-23

novel in the evenings and on week ends. He says:
 Hundred Spots!
 "This book was written in about a hundred or more spots in Idaho, Iowa, Utah, Nevada and California and think that speaks well for the so-called temperamental quali- ties of the artist! I have written on it during all hours of the day and night; in tourist camps, in hotel rooms, in forest service camps, on a fire escape Gin Pasadena), and even in an automobile"
 MT. Fisher was educated in Idaho, in the University of Utah GA. B. and University of fChicago GA. M, Ph. D., and taught in the Univer- sity of Utah, University of Montana, University off Chicago and New York University.
