SHUMAKER EXCHANGED WIVES WITH RICH MEXICAN PLANTER, ASSERT INSURANCE COMPANIES Pittsburg, May 22.—The case of Ella H. Schumaker against the Preferred Accident Insurance Company, of New York, Is pending In the United States •ourt for the collection of life lnsur- ince for the death of her husband. According to attorneys for the com panies, attempts have been made by Mrs. Shumaker to settle the cases out side the courts, but the companies re fused to entertain such a proposition. It Is declared that the attempt at settlement was prompted by reports that the insurance companies would In troduce testimony of a startling char acter, which will drag In tho names of some prominent people. The companies will also attempt to prove that Ella Heffllck was never le gally married to Shumaker, and that tho latter did not meet with accidental death, but committed suicide. During the past few months, It Is re ported, an attorney has been In Pitts burg to procure positive confirmation of the death of Shumaker. This attor-■ - ney, It Is said, represented a wealthy son as a witness. Mexican planter, with whom Shu maker, It la alleged, exchanged wives several years ago. The first wife of Shumaker, It Is said, was a St. Louts girl, who was taken to the City of Mexico by Shumaker. There, It Is alleged, the Mexican plant er fell In love with her, and Shumaker fell In love with the planter’s wife. It Is claimed that, although they traded wives, Shumaker did not take the trou ble to get a divorce. The object of the Mexican In send ing an attorney hero was to get posi tive proof that Shumaker was killed, so that he could legally marry his first wife. If Shumaker was never divorced from his first wife, as the Insurance companies will attempt to prove, then his marriage to Ella Heffllck was Ille gal. These are only a few of many start ling nllegntlons which are expected to be brought out at the trial. It Is said that affidavits will be produced- from the Mexicans, and It may be that at least one of them will appear In per- PARR ANNOUNCES • HIS COMMITTEES HALF-WITTED GIRL PRISONER IN SMALL SMOKE HOUSE; FOOD THROWN ON FLOOR Johnstown, Pa., May 22.—One hun dred Infuriated neighbors yesterday rescued Ethel Hefflcy, a half-witted girl about 17 years old, from a smoke house, In which she had been confined for several weeks by her-parents, near Berlin.

When a change In food can rebuild a man 77 yeara of age. It Is evidence that there Is some value In a knowledge that can discriminate In the selection of proper food to rebuild the body. A few months ago the physician attending a man 77 year* old, told him that death from old age would soon claim him. He suffered from general weakness and debility. An old lady advised him to quit cof fee. drink Postum Food Coffee and eat Grape-Nuts food every morning. He took the advice, and has gamed 12 pound*. Say* he I* as well as he ever was. and can taka long trips In the mountains, which he had been unable to do for ir long time. There Is a reason for this; In the first place, coffee acts as a direct nerve destroyer on many highly organized people, both young and old, and many people haven’t the knowledge to select nourishing, healthful, rebuilding food. Both Postum Food Coffee and Grape- Nuts food are made from selected parts of the field grains that contain delicate particles of phosphate of potaah and albumen. These two element* combine In the human body to quickly rebuild the gray matter In the brain and In the nerve centers throughout the body. Direct, sure, and certain results comr from their use and can be proved by any person that cares to make the trial. "There's a Reason." Head 'The Road to Wellvllle," In pkgM.
