I HESS AGENT STILL ON JOB
ON FAMOUS NELMS CASE
ATLANTA, Ga., June 15. —In front o. !
the postoffice in East Point, an Atlanta
suburb, where he visited Mrs. Eloise
Nelms Dennis when she was employed
there, Victor E. Innes is now toiling
as a convict in stripes, a member of a
road gang paving the street.
East Point people who remember the
visits to Mrs. Dennis by a mysterious
stranger with black hair and black
moustache and black eyes stop on the
street and rivet their gaze on th
convict, trying to connect his face with
the face of the stranger. But Inne
works with his head bent down, and
his gyes are on the ground, and thej
cannot see him distinctly.
The disappearance three years ago
of Mrs. Dennis and her sister, Beatrice
Nelms, created a nation-wide sensa
tion. adroit press agents bringing the
case prominently before the people of
the whole country. Mrs. Dennis, it is
said, was wildly infatuated with Innes,
whom she met in Reno, Nev., and en
gaged as her lawyer to get a divorce.
He came here and on various pretext?
managed to separate Mrs. Dennis from
practically all her money and property,
his wife appearing always in the role
of an aunt.
The girls disappeared, were traced to
a house in San Antonio, Tex., occu
pied by Innes and his wife, and have
been seen again. Innes and his wife
were tried in San Antonio for murder
ai d acquitted, the state being unable
to establish that the girls were really
dead. It was alleged that they had been
chopped to pieces, after dead, ground
up in a sausage mill, their bones reduc
ed by acids and washed through the
bath tub drain into the sewer. Subse
quent to the San Antonio trial. Innes
ar.d his wife were brought here on a
charge of larceny after trust, being
tried and convicted. Innes received a
t even year sentence.

TO PALE PEOPLE—
YOUR BLOOD MAY BE
STARVING FOR IRON!
If Your Blood Needs Iron, It Needs ZIRON, the New
Compound of Iron, Which Acts as a Strength
ening Tonic, Enriching the Blood and
Building up the System.
When your blood lacks ike proper proportion of red corpuscles to give your
complexion the “rosy hue cf health” and your complexion is pale, “pasty-look
in£”. perhaps even grecr.ish-tingcd, ycu are probably cf an anemic or chlorotic
nature, and your blood needs Ziron, to bring back the rich, red flush of health.
Ziron, the new compound cf iron, the hypophosphites cf lime and soda, and
other tonic, strengthening ingredients, has been found cf great value in conditions
of simple anemia, chlorosis, debility, nervousness, lack cf ambition, loss of appe
tite, dyspepsia, etc. It is a valuable reconstructive tonic, in cases cf weakness,
and helps tuild up the constitution after severe illness.
Mrs. Mae Celle Perkins, of Adairsville, Ga., writes: “About two months ago
1 got to leclaig badly. My back hurt me badly, and my legs and arms hurt too,
and 1 didn’t have any appetite at all ta cot. About two weeks ago I commenced
taking Ziron, according to directions cn the bottle ... By the time I had taken the
medicine for a week, i could see it was doing me good. I had been weak and
nervous, and it mode me feel stronger, and I’m not a bit nervous now. My back is
all right, and my arias and legs do net ache. And my appetite is good again.
Before I started using Ziron I wouldn’t rest at night, I was so tired feeling and
felt worn cut. 1 have used nearly the v. hole bottle and now I sleep fine every
night. It sure is a fine medicine, and lam glad I tried it.”
Ziron is non-alcoholic, contains no habit-forming drugs, acts gently, lias no bad
after-effects, is good for men, women rod children. If is a medicine of genuine
merit, composed of ingredients prescribed by eminent physicians. Try it.
SPECIAL OFFER: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggist's and give it a fair trial, ac
cording to directions on the label. After using up one bottle, if you find it has not benefited you, take it
back to the druggist and he will refund what you paid him for it. U’e repay him, so there is no reason
Why he should not repay you. This offer only applies to the first trial bottle. iZ. A. I.)
