SATURDAY. JUNE 6. ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure NO ALUM, MO UME PHOSPHATE «« WITH If RECORDER Last night, or rather this morning, at about 1 o’clock, one of the Ser geants, riding along Delaigle Avenue, was frozen in his saddle by a shriek,, so loud and so terrible that a shiver ran through the length of the street. It proceeded from one of he houses close by, and was followed by a quick succession of screams, keen and ear splitting—the kind that would turn an ordinary listener's blood to curds and whey. But to a Sergeant of Po lice the sound of most dreadful cries is the sound of music to a. circu3 horse, or the sound of a dinner bell to famished boarders. He leaped from his trembling steed and dished into the house to find a mulatto woman flinging herself about the floor and beating her head against the wall — all the while giving vent to strenu ous. vital shrieks that made the soot fall gently down the chimney. A man was in the room with her, looking on, dazed. “Wife-beating!” flashed through the Sergeant’s mind. He immediately arrested the cou ple. A few intrepid neighbors had come over to the house to see what in heaven's name was the matter. One of these was sent to telephone for the Patrol Wagon. It took them all to hold the woman till the wagon came. She wag like a maniac, fight ing and weeping, with the strength of five men. Finally, when she came up before Opportunity Period in The Her ald’s “Shower of Gold For Babies 9 9 Closes Next Tuesday Night Opportunity period in the "Shower of Gold For Babies’’ contest, closes next Tuesday nisht at ten o’clock, af ter which there will be a material re duction in- the votes issued to candi dates on subscriptions to the Au gusta Daily Herald. Now is the time to get the very largest number of votes for subscriptions. You can enter your baby and win if yqp try. More interest has been and is being manifested in this event than anything since the flood. Every mother and father of the candidates entered are becoming worked up to the fever point by their little ones’ progress In the race, and the Contest Editor’s tele phone is kept constantly busy answer ing inquiries as to how the youngsters stand. The little ones themselves are, of course, largely responsible for this condition as they have all selected the prizes they Want to win and are after their parents and friends to help them secure votes from early moon ’till bed time. That bonus ballot of 450,000 votes for every club of $30.00 on subscriptions is keeping them hustling early and late for business. 450,000 votes are not to be treated lightly either. That num ber of votes may mean that $500.00 in gold to some candidate at the close of the contest, and everyone interested in the babies’ welfare should try to get in every club possible before the close of this period Tuesday night.

Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound the praise it deserves, for I have taken it a t different times and it always re lieved me when other medicines failed, and when I hear a woman com plain I always rec ommend it. Lastwin ter I was attacked S3§i : '! ■ ith a severe case of organic weakness. . had backache, pains in my hips and over my kidneys, headache, dizziness, lassitude, had no energy, limbs ached and I was always tired. I was hardly able to do my housework. I had taken Lydia E.

V«»ur letter will bo opened, read and answered l»y a woman nod acid In strict contidcnce. the Recorder this morning, it was ex pected that some brutal light would be thrown on he_r husband's conduct, which had caused her awful condi tion. But it seems that he had not struck her, or even threatened her. It was merely the culmination of an argument they had had, which had begun at 9 o’clock that night and en dured Tour hours. She had asked him for a dollar to buy a ticket, she had begged and plead, cajoled, wheedled and coaxed, implored and besought, and finally gone into a fit of the most unparalleled hysteria. He didn’t have the dollar, he assur ed the court, or he would have given it to her. He explained it to her over and over again last night. But she would brook no refusal. She couldn’t bear the thought of not go ing. She had set her heart on it and go she would. So you see What will happen if you don’t let your wife go to the “Society Vaudeville” at the Opera House next Wednesday night. And ladies, you now see how you can get that dollar, just keep this clipping and pin it on the wall. You will have to go to the Vaudeville, of course; nobody in town would be so behind the times as to miss it. Be cause things are going to happen at that show. Desperate measures are being taken. It will be an "Eye- Opener.” Here is a new challenger for hon ors in the big race. Little Milo is a cripple, who has to remain in a plas ter cast tor several months before he MILO HUMPHREY. will have the use of his limbs (If ever), but that doesn’t keep him from look ing at life optimistically, and his cheer ful smile and winsome manner have won a place for him in the hearts of the staff of nurses of the Wlllingford Hospital for Babies, who are ‘Tooting” for him to win.
