ASTDH’S SECRET
SAFE IS DRILLED
Experts Are Unable to Open
Strong Box Combination
i
Died With Owner.
NEW YORK June 12. The late
Colonel John Jacob Astor possessed one
safe of which he alone'knew the com
bination. and therein, absolutely secure
from Are and burglars, reposed such
i secrets of affairs of forttine as he con
cealed from every confidante.
This strong box, said to have been
of peculiar construction and involved
|. mechanism, spherical in shape and
ft hardened to the point of resistance
even to electrical contact, had reposed
for several years in the personal office
• * of Colonel Amr
/At the death of the tnllliotiaite his
-✓executors and ills secretary set in older
such affairs as they could place hands
upon. Rut certain links were found to
he missing, and in each instance the
line of connection led up to and ceased
abrupt!.' at the rounded doors of the
fire and burglar-proof safe.
Nobody hut Colonel Astor had ever
known the combination of that re
markable safe It was said that onlj
one other had been made, and that was
for the late "Al" Adams Surely enough
a safe .similar to that possessed by
Colonel Astor was sold a few months
ago by the son of Adams at an auction.
It brought $Wi. The son explained that
he had not been able to open It be
cause the combination died with his fa
ther. The man who made the purchase
•pent more than the purchase price to
have the groat steel globe drilled into.
It contained only worthless paper.
Having this in mind, the Astor ex
excutors thought to save the safe from
destruction and sent for a safe expert.
Rut this safe was made to tease Just
such experts When Colonel Astor
closed the door he not only turned the
knob which obliterated the releasing
combination, but he also twirled the en
tire door about Just as easily. And
there was then left to the Imagination
the grandest mlxup outside of the Chi
nese alphabet
Aided by the eager executors and
trustees and confidential men of the
Astor menage, the great expert toiled
and perspired and fretted over that
ephericai Sphinx
Finally, confessing that he had been
baffled, the great expert withdrew, and
theri came the steel drill men. The
electrical connections that hud been
lilted to meit ihe huge globe failed to
show any effect upon the polished sur
face. Theie is .( newer system, how
ever. involving aver, cue gas And by
use of this contact, interspersed with
clever manipulation of cold steel.
Chisels and tiles of noted temper, the
great hail of resistance finally was
pierceo
Now ss to what secrets this gic.i
E safe revealed oil, hat is another .-'or,'
that even the final reports of the ex
ecutors ma\ not reveal.

DOCTORS CONDEMN SO-CALLED
SUPERFLOODS HAIR “ CURES"
While there may be no perceptible
harm noticeable with the first few ap
plications of the numerous so-called
superfluous hair ‘‘cures" other than
causing slight skin troubles and an in
creased growth, real danger and disfig
urement lurk in their frequent use.
which, if continued, will produce ecze
ma or other serious skin diseases
Furthermore, after each removal, the
hair grows out again more rapidly,
< oarser and stiffer than before and
eventually It will become so coarse that
no preparation will be strong enough
to remove it without ruining the skin.
It is surprising that these unknown
and uncertain means should be em
ployed when there is such a reliable
and trustworthy preparation as De-
Miracle, the only absolutely non-pois
onous depilatory that dissolves hair,
thereby taking the vitality out of it,
consequently retarding and preventing
an increased growth.
Beware of the imitator who resorts to
copying certain phrases of the De-
Miracle advertising to inveigle you into
using a worthless, poisonous concoc
tion. When ‘a faker tries to deceive
and delude you by alluring and im
possible claims, tell him that DeMiracle
chemical Company will forfeit Five
Thousand Dollars if it can be proven
that any so-called superfluous hair
"cure” ever eradicated one single
growth of superfluous hair. Insist on
proof when a claim is made that such
a preparation is "indorsed by the medi
cal profession.”
