ASKS NO ONE TO BE HELD A startling insinuation that Joe Pyzdek, 26-ydar-old Pole, who died mysteriously from a blood\ clot on his brain in a West L street saloon the morning after Thanksgiving, had met foul play the night before and was left in the pit in the rear of the saloon the same evening, was made to a coroner's jury investigating the case yesterday by Mrs. Charles Kloch, wife of the saloon keeper, in the rear of whose place the body was found. - Evidence brought forth by County Attorney Magney from witnesses showed that the top of the staircase leading to the pit where the body was found had been boarded up in such a manner as to make it impossi- ble for a person, intoxicated or not, to fall over the edge of the railing The only possible admittance, accord- ing to the testimony, would have been to crawl under a loose board at one end. “You would have to crawl under,” were the words of Mrs. Kloch, when asked by the county attorney as to how it would\be possible to get below the back yard level. “Do you think that some on¢ car- ried him below?" was the next ques-| tion. “I would nat say in fact,” the wo- man answered. “When | saw him the next morning he lay on his head and hands flat on the ground.!just like he had heen put there to sleep.” Pyzdek and Koscba both attended a party Thanksgivipg ;|\'lrr’|nnn, and BIC EATERS GET KIDNEY TROUBLE Take a glass of Salts before break- fast if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you.

Which Do You Prefer? It is important for reasons of health and practical economy for every housekeeper to ask herself this question: “Do I prefer a pure baking powder like Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from grapes, or am I willing to use a baking powder made of alum or phosphate, both derived from mineral sources?” The names of the ingredients printed on the label show whether the kind you are now using or any brand, new or old, that may be offered is a genuine cream of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate or alum compound. \ Royal Baking Powder contains no alum nor phosphate. : ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York ° oege Constirated - Bilious Mr. Creasman Howell reports his own case from Home City, an., saying: “I suffered awfully with liver trouble. I was aways sonstipated, which was followed by severe bilious attacks. Since :aking Thedford's Black-Draught I am relieved of those sufferings. [ do not say I am completely cured, for I never take the medicine long at a time; just until T feel better. Lots of medicines I have used would get so they would not have any effect on me, but it is not this way with Black-Draught.

Voehl, of Plainfield, N. J., that a close friend had been injured, and full of anxicty he visited the afflicted man, who was suffering from a sprained ankle. “It was so bad that the leg had turned black,” said Mr. Voeh] in re- lating the story. “I told him I would have him out in a week and he laugh- ed at me. But I took him a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment, that night he put some on and noticed the ankle felt better. I told him to use it every day, and in three days his ankle was prac- tically” well. In four days he was working. He gladly admits that Sloan’s ' Liniment “put him on his feet.” Sloan’s Liniment can be obtained at all drug stores, 25¢, 50¢ and $1.00.
