1 'ARLISL.E. PA., Dec. 6.—Miss Mary
Rock, who died at Chambersburg this
week at the agre of 78, had lived for
,ti years of that time on milk, water,
offee and candy alone. She had Im
agined that she could not eat solid
food.
An autopsy made immediately fol-
iiwing the woman's death revealed
he fact that her digestive organs
wore in perfect condition and that
she might easily have eaten any
thing she wanted.
Iktcal physicians consider this ons

sell newspapers on the streets.

Says Wives May Use
Brooms on Husbands
MACON, GA., Dec. 6. According to a
ruling by Judge N. AT. Shelton, in the
Circuit Court, a wife has the right to
use a broomstick on her husbands’s
head in regulating household matters.
D. Foley, a farmer, who was suing
his wife for a divorce on the ground
that she is a shrew, swore his running
mate had assaulted him with a stick of
wood, a stove cap and a broomstick.
The attorney for the woman imme
diately objected to the broomstick, on
the ground that its use by a wife was
understood when she signed the arti
cles to enter the matrimonial state, and
that It was a right guaranteed her by
the Constitution.

Good Cheer Aids
Digestion of Food
Dyspeptics Can Make the Rest of
the Family Happy by Using
a Laxative Tonic.
The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend
s<* much on the good digestion of each
individual present that the experi
ences of’ some former dyspeptics who
overcame their trouble should be of
interest to those now suffering in this
way.
The best advice one can give—but
it is advice that is f - 'dom heeded—is
to eat slowly and masticate each
mouthful carefully. However, if slow
eating and careful mastication fail the
next aid is one close to nature, Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. This rem
edy is an excellent digestant. and in
addition to helping in the digestion of
the food, acts gently on the liver and
bowels, ridding them of the accumu
lation of waste that snould long ago
have been pasesd off. It is safe, re
liable. pleasant-tasting and results
are guaranteed.
Major S. Martin, of Joplin. Mo., now
77. thinks Dr. Caldell’s Syrup Pepsin
has helped him to a longer and hap
pier life. He has not felt so good in
years as he has since taking this ex
cellent medicine, and in spite of his
77 years he says he feels like a boy.
It is the ideal remedy for indiges
tion. no matter how severe; constipa
tion. no matter how chronic, bilious
ness, headaches, gas on the stomach,
drowsiness after eating and similar
annoyances.
You can obtain Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin at any drug store for 50 cents
MAJ. S. MARTIN
or $1. the latter size being bought by
heads of families already familiar
with its merits. Results are always
guaranteed or money will be refunded.
When you use Syrup Pepsin you
will see the fallacy of chewing mints
and tablets or of taking cathartics,
salts, pills and similar drastic medi
cines. Unlike these, Syrup Pepsin
does not lose its good effect, an*', by
automatically training the stomach
and bowel muscles to do their work,
soon restores these organs to normal.
Families wishing to try a free sam
ple bottle can obtain it postpaid by
addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 419
Washington St.. Monticello, Ill. A
postal card with your name and ad
dress on it will do.
Nation's Offices Overflow With
Exhibits, Cumbering Halls and
Using Needed Desk Space.
By JONATHAN WINFIELD. .
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Govern
ment departments in Washington
within the next few years will resem
ble an old curiosity shop, if the pres
ent rate is kept up in accumulating
antiques and curios. Although the
National Museum, the United States
Museum, the Smithsonian Institu
tion. Medical Museum and Congres
sional Library are filled with things
that are of interest to the visitors,
each Government department has its
own little museum or collection which
it strings along its corridors for the
benefit of tourists. In some of the
buildings there is not space enough
to show the collections that have been
gathered and they have overflown to
the storage rooms in the basements of
the buildings.
To remedy this plans are afoot for
building a great Hall of Records. Con
gress has been asked to give the need
ed funds.
In the War Department, for in
stance, the upper floors of the big
building are crowded with exhibits
of all kinds. Not only can one see the
various uniforms worn by the sol
diery of the United States Govern
ment at different periods from pre-
Revolutionary days to the present
time, but one can see exhibits of the
sculptors’ work and models of the de
fenses of the United States along the
coasts and inland waters, as well as
of battleships.
All of these exhibits are placed in
the corridors of the buildings, usual
ly on the top floor, this part of the
building not being used to the extent
of the lower floors.
Portraits Adorn Walls.
In the State Department wing of
the State, War and Navy Building the
portraits of former Secretaries of
War, of Senators and foreign diplo
mats adorn the walls of the Secre
tary of State’s office and of the offices
of his subordinates. In one instance
the picture of a foreign diplomat has
been relegated to the messengers’
room. „
On the Navy side, the corridors are
filled with models of the first and
last step in naval arcnitecture and
construction. The model of “Old
Ironsides’’ looks like a penny sail
boat of childhood days alongside the
modern dreadnought as typified by
the model of the Wyoming, which
stapds just outside of the main en
trance to Secretary Daniels’ office.
Submarines, aeroplanes, wireless
cruisers and the navy hospital ship
the Solace, can be seen in these mod
els. The model of the Arkansas, a
sister ship of the Wyoming, cost the
United States Government $25,000 to
build. Many other models of the
earlier vessels of the navy are kept
In packing cases in the cellar of the
building.

Gets Property After
Slaying His Parents
QUINCY, ILL., Dec. 6,—Judge Al
bert Akers, of the Circuit Court, de
cided to-day for the first time in the
history of Illinois that a defendant
convicted of murdering his parents or
relatives to secure real estate does
not forfeit the property.
The decision was on a demurrer to
a partition suit by*attorneys for Ray
Pfanschmidt. who faces death for
murdering his parents.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—Professor DLi
vid J. Lingle, departmental examiner
in physiology at the University of
. Chicago, has struck a blow at the
“high cost of living."
He advocates "pickling” fresh eggs
when they are cheap and eating the
pickled eggs months later when the
hens have gone on a strike.
"The pickled eggs are not quite so
palatable," declared Professor I.ingle,
"but they retain all the nourishir*,
properties.
"Picked eggs in nearly every other
particular are as satisfactory as
freshly laid. They will fry, scramble
and hard boil.
"The only wav in which they are
not easily prepared is soft boiled.
“The question of reducing the cost
of living is not one of any special
article of diet being replaced, but
rather an adjustable and carefully
balanced diet.
“Them are numerous foods which
may l)« made use of. Nuts, a prod
uct of California, are a staple of diet,
I understand, not a luxury. Peanuts
| supply more protein than any other
article of food except dried beans. If
more peanuts and dried beans were
used by fruitarians their diet would
be enriched and the cost of dying
decreased."

mined on a skin grafting operation,
offering some of ids own skin and
calling for voUmteers. The first to
answer the call was Mrs. Jenkins,
and she came to the hospital and

make the sacrifice. Jenkins was ap
prised of his estranged wife’s offer

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—For the last
fourteen months Mrs. Isabella Good
win and Mrs. Adele Priest, detective
sergeants working under direct or
ders from Commissioner Waldo, have
been trailing Frank Henry Wo.f,
charged with a $10,000 stock swindle.
The complainant against Wolf, who,
it is said, was an extensive operator
in stocks, is Mrs. Francesca Groeh-
nert. of Astoria. She says Wolf
cheated her out of the savings of a
lifetime.
The two women detectives have
followed Wolf to various cities, out
invariably arrived Just too late to
make an arrest. He Is about 53 years
old and a widower. He formerly made
his home with his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Catherine Schaeffer, in the
Bronx.
Women's Guess Correct.
The women detectives figured that
Wolf must be tired of being a fu
gitive and probably would sjjend
Thanksgiving at home. So they and
Detective Henry C. Jessup, of Deputy
Commissioner Dougherty's staff, went
to the FYanklin avenue house.
Mrs. Priest said that she wanted
to see Mr. Wolf. She was shown to
a front room where a man. ema
ciated from Illness, was sitting in a
chair.
"I am Mr. Wolf,” he said.
Mrs. Priest went to the door and
let in \frs. Goodwin and Jessup. The
amazed Wolf was told he was under
arrest.
It was plain to the detectives that
the man was not far from death. Thev
called an ambulance from Fordham
Hospital and had him removed there
a prisoner. A hearing *will be given
Wolf at the hospital.
