By the Associated Press. WINCHESTER, Va. August 26.— Benjamin Armel, suspended police of- ficer, was arrested yesterday on two Warrants, one charging shooting with intent to disable and kill Miss Mabel Runion, the other with attempting to “unlawfully shoot and kill" Miss Glenna Jenkins, her half sister. Ar- meél's bond was placed at §1,500 for appearance Wednesday. Armel repeated today his story told on the night of the shooting. He fired, he said, at a white-robed figure which failed to obey his command to halt after his sister had been fright- ened, thinking that it was a Klans- man. The two girls were returning from “surprise night” at a theater when the shooting occured. Miss Runion had won a gown at the show, which, she explained, she was carrying, thrown across her arm. They were singing and laughing, they say, and did not hear the officer’s command. ‘When he fired, M Runion fell, wounded in the hip. She was taken to a hospital, where she is still under treatment. In Asia in ancient times there were 2 considerable number of monumental aqueducts, the largest of which were in China and India. IThe Value of Charcoal Few People Know How Usgful It is in Preserving Health and Beauty and Yet It is Not a Drug Pure Willow Charcoal is the saf-| |est and most efficient disinfectant |and purifier in nature. 1 And the more you take of it the better. It is not a drug at all, but | simply absorbs the injurious gases |and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and | carries them out of the system. | Charcoal sweetens the breath lafter smoking or eating onions |and other odorous vegetables. | Charcoal effectually clears and | improves the complexion, whitens | the teeth, disinfects the mouth and | throat from the poison of catarrh, |and further acts as a natural and | eminently safe cathartic. All druggists sell charcoal in| one form or another, but probably | the best and moét for the money is | in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; | composed of the finest quality | Willow Charcoal powdered to ex-| treme fineness, compressed in the | form of large, pleasant tasting| lozenges, sweetened to be smooth | and palatable. Many physicians advise Stuart's| Absorbent Lozenges to patients| suffering from gas in stomach and | bowels, and to clear the complex- | ion and purify the breath, mouth land throat. They are also be- lieved to greatly benefit the liver. These lozenges cost but thirty cents a box at drug stores. For a free trial send your name and ad- | dress to F. A. Stuart Co., 12 Stuart Bldg., Marshall, Mich. You get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than| in_any of the ordinary charcoal | tablets.—Advertisement. «*¢ Jrom_the AVENUE o NINTH= 118 Palm Beach and Mohair Suits—Now $10.» Palm Beach Suits were $15 THE ' EVE 18 TEACHERS HURT Broken Steering Knuckle Sends Vehicle Careening Over 50-Foot Embankment.
