OLD FOLKS SAY j
DR. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT |
The basis of treating sickness has not
changed sinno Dr. Caldwell left Medical
College in 187r>, nor Bin™ lie placed on
the market the laxative prescription ha
had used in his practice.
Ho treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These aro
still the basis of l)r. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of senna and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler tho remedy for constipa
tion, tho safer for the child and for you.
And as you ean get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last) several months, and
all can use it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,

PLEADS RIGHT TO
KILL “WITCH”; IS
GIVEN LIFE TERM
“Pow-wow” Doctor Slays
Man He Claimed Had Put
Spell on Him.
York, I’a.—John 11. Blymyer, York
"pow-wow doctor,” was convicted of
, the first degree murder of Nelson H.
j Rehmeyer, recluse farmer-sorcerer, and
| the penalty was fixed by the jury at
life Imprisonment
The slender, pale-faced man who In
sisted he had a right to kill Rehmeyer
at Ids lonely home In North Hopewell
township on November 27 to break a
“hex,” appeared Impassive and disin
terested. A few moments later, in the
sheriff's office, lie said:
Says He’s Happy.
“1 am happy now. 1 am not be
witched anymore. I can sleep and eat
and I am not pining away.”
As an afterthought, and without the
slightest emotion In Ills voice, he
added:
"But I think that they went a little
strong; yes, that’s It—a little too
strong."
The jury’s verdict brought to an end
one of the most dramatic and funtas
tlc trials ever witnessed In any court.

borderline lunatic, a psycho-neurotic,
a hypochondriacal melancholic, know

his act of violence than an untutored
child, his attorney in his closing plea
fought hard for an acquittal on the
grounds of insanity.
Blymyer’s own story of tils life was
one of the most dramatic ever heard
In a court. His Justification could be
summed up In two sentences:
"Rehmeyer is dead. I am no longer
bewitched—l can live now in peace.”
Blymyer said he had killed because
he was right; under similar circum
stances he would kill again, because
In the code of mysticism in which he
believes, the death of the “hexer” re
moves the blight.
He told how for ten years he had
been In 111 health. Medical men could
do little, so he turned to the “pow
wowers.” They told him he was be
witched.
Told He Was “Hexed.”
But it was Mrs. Noll, "high priest
ess" of Marietta, I’a., who first planted
In Blymyer’s mind the delusion that re
sulted in the murder. She told him,
Blymyer testified, that Rehmeyer had
hexed him and that the spell could he
broken if lie would got the book, “The
Long Lost Friend," text book of the
pow-wowers, or a lock of Ilehmeyer’s
hair. The book was to be burned and
the hair to he buried.
lie Induced Curry, another pow-wow
victim, to Join him ir. the expedition.
They found Rehmeyer at his home
and, falling to get the book or hair,
the murder followed.
Curry was also convicted and given
a life sentence.
Ex-Convict Finds Way
to Riches in Cemetery
Columbus. Ohio.—To Wesley Me-
Cafferty a cemetery is more than a
mere graveyard. It is a place to earn
an easy livelihood in which the gross
returns are all gain.
MoCufferty was recently released on
parole from jail at Columbus, Ohio.
Being ambit ions, he set out to make a
living. A large soap concern wanted a
list of prospective customers to whom
it could send samples, so McCafferty
wont to a cemetery attfl compiled an
extensive list. He called at the post
office, collected the samples mailed his
clients, and then sold the soap.
Encouraged by first success, McCaf
lerty answered an advertisement to
obtain signatures petitioning the city
of Urbana, Ohio, for improvements.
This time he was found out and re
turned to jail.
Ea*y Money
New York.—Betty Wilson, swim
ming Instructor, who won SSOO by
talking ninety-seven hours in an en
durance gahfest, says she knows no
easier way to make that amount of
money.

Maysville, Ky.—Because flowers and
other decorations have been stolen

“We want some old-fashioned elo

in these beguiling outfits, all the
bright colorings which add sucli a
joyous note to snowy, icy landscapes,
seem to conspire to play their live
liest. The ensemble illustrated con
veys an idea of the picturesque effects
fashion achieves in the way of ap
parel for the outdoor enthusiast. In
this creation, Patou suggests for the
winter sportswoman a gray and green
sweater and blouse, with cap and
scarf to match. The pantaloons are
of black broadcloth.
Trouser costumes are quite the
thing this season. While for them
color is restrained, and the styling
given them is man-tailored, it makes
the contrast of knitted accessories
which are of unstinted gayety all the
more striking.
Sweaters to be pulled over the cos
tumes and the cardigan jackets as an
extra protection are one blaze of gor
geous color. Startling yellows in com
bination with reds and blues, wine
color splashed with pink dots and
gray stripes—the list of high colors
is never ending.
The scarf and the cap, gloves, with
knitted anklets all play their roles in
a fetching manner. Woolen coats
flaunt very wide and very vivid
stripes, some of them seemingly made
of Indian blankets. Scarfs are of gen
•erous proportions, and revel in fringe

and Interknit design, and as for caps,
from them merrily dangle yarn balls
of flaming color if not tassels. Knitted
gloves, too, seem to provide all the
extra colors which may, perchance,
have been left out of the costume
itself.
Little tot’s wardrobes, in addi
tion to the proper quota of sturdy
ginghams, piques and the heavier
linens, must, if fashion’s com
mands be obeyed, include a goodly
number of airy-fairy frocks. This
means a revival of such lovely old
time favorites as dimity, batiste, dot
ted swiss and line handkerchief linen
and last, hut perhaps most important,
dainty voiles either in solid color or
flowered.
Furthermore, the mode approves
frilly, ruffly types for little girls, often
sleeveless, then again with puff-sleeves
übove the elbow. Yet, when all is
said and done, in no sense must there
be a display of overelaborateness,
rather is the quality of becoming sim
plicity stressed.
Particular emphasis is placed on
flowered and plain voiles for every
day wear. One can be encouraged to
use them since, nowadays, if one in
sists, coiorfast shades are available.
This of course adds infinitely to the
practicality as well as to the attrac
tiveness of voile as a medium for chil
dren’s frocks. The fact of dependable
color applies to the solid tints as well
as the patterned voiles.
In the picture little sister is wearing
an orchid voile frock. Note that it
is made with a yoke. Designers this
season are featuring yokes in every
version from round to square, to
pointed or scalloped. Tiny ruffles,
four rows of them, answer to fash
ion's call for frilly effects. Little
bloomers to match, of course, for
bloomers and knickers and pantie
frocks are taken for granted in every
wee tot’s outfitting.
Rejoicing in a flowered voile is big
sister, as pictured. It has a collar, (
for collars share honors with yokes
this season. The designer achieves
for this pretty frock a.clever circular
hemline, the same seamed to a soft'
and full blouse top.
It is really a wise plan on mother’s
part to fill in midseason leisure hours
making up a collection of Buttery
voiles, sheer linens, swisses and such
for little daughter to wear later on.
By the way, the new dotted swisses
come in the most charming solid tints,
and so do the new piques for that
matter.
Why not, while the sewing spirit is
on, add several new cotton washable
coats which are so cunning, so novel
this season, and so wearable over
dresses of sheer fabric?
Very striking cottons and linens
printed in designs which are frankly
modernistic make stunning little coats,
Matching hats are ever present this

children. Quilted calico and solid
colored pique coat-and-hat sets are
also very smart for tots. Coat-and

juvenile fashions which adopt pat

The History of
John J. Doherty sCase
"Three years ago I took a severe
cold nutting me directly to bed. Alter
a° month * treatment for pleurisy my
physician was baffled by the action of
my fever or temperature which was
high one day and low the next, and
while lie tried different prescriptions,
I didn’t Improve uny, but slowly be
came weaker. . _ _ .
“The doctor finally decided to tap
me by running a needle-like instru
ment into the left side of my hack
and between the ribs, to ascertain if
pus was forming in my left The
lapping resulted in the withdrawal of
a small quantity of pus and the doc
tor said It was forming so fast 1 hat
I must have an operation to extract
and draw out the pus. At the time
my heart pained me terribly because
It was three inches out of place, due
to the pressure of the fast-aceumulat
ing pus. , , .
“I was ordered to the hospital for
an immediate operation or I would
he a dead man in 3(5 hours. The next
morning the surgeon removed one
inch of two ribs in the Back, forming
a square cavity to remove the pus,
which squirted eight feet from the
table. About two quarts was removed.
A rubber tube was then inserted in
the cavity to the lung for a drain,
which took about three weeks to per
fectly drain and heal the cavity.
“The doctors told me that I had to
take ail precautions possible, as I was
subject to easily capturing tubercular
germs, due to the weakness of mv
lungs. For one whole year I used
several kinds of tonic and lung medi
cines and didn’t improve much from
weakness.
“Then I began the use of Milks
Emulsion and after a month’s trial I
found myself with increasing appetite
and gaining strength, and today I
have regained my natural weight and
strength and feel completely myself.
And the joy of it is, after using all of
the Milks Emulsion that I did it didn't
form a habit. I haven’t used any for
a month now and I feel at my best. I

Hen Mothered Kitten
The mistress of a Hinsdale (Mass.)
farm had a hen sitting. Going out t*
inquire as to the comfort of the ex
pectant mother, she found the eggs
uncovered, and, in the nest a tiny kit

after feeding, and covered eggs, kitten
and all. She continued her care of
the kitten after the eggs were
hatched, says the Boston Globe.
“Lucile is the
Happiest Girl”
So many mothers!
nowadays talk about jj||||||||k
giving their children ips||||k
fruit juices, as if this
were anew discov- ***■ li
ery. Asa matter of % .Ji*-.*, W
fact, for over fifty
years, mothers have
been accomplishing
results far surpassing anything you
can secure from home prepared fruit
juices, by using pure wholesome Cali
fornia Fig Syrup, which is prepared
under the most exacting laboratory
supervision from ripe California Figs,
richest of all fruits in laxative and
nourishing properties.
It’s marvelous to see how bilious,
weak, feverish, sallow, constipated,
under-nourished children respond to
its gentle influence; how their breath
clears up, color flames in their cheeks,
and they become sturdy, playful, en
ergetic again. A Western mother,
Mrs. H. J. Stoll, Valley P. 0„ Ne
braska, says: “My little daughter,
Roma Lucile, was constipated from
babyhood. I became wopied about
her and decided to give 1 her sme
California Fig Syrup. It stopped her
constipation quick; and the way it
improved her color and made her pick
up made me realize how run-down she
had been. She is so sturdy and well
now, and always in such good humor
that neighbors say she’s the happiest
girt in the West."
Like all good things, California Fig
Syrup is imitated, but you can always
get the genuine by looking for tiie
name “California” on the carton.
Crickets Kept Town Awake
Crickets invaded Bromley, England,
in such numbers that they kept the
residents awake. Thousands of the

special syringe and a disinfectant
