For Acid Indigestion^ Thousands of people whose stomachs troubled them after eating have found that by taking a teaspoonful of pure bisurated magnesia in a half glass of hot water after meals they can do away with pepsin pills and other digestive aids and can still be able to eat heartily of whatever foods they please and have no stomach trouble afterwards. Physi cians say that hot water forces a much needed blood supply to the stomach while bisurated magnesia Is undoubted ly the best, safest and most powerful neutralizer of stomach acids that can be found. A single teaspoonful will sweeten the food contents of a sour acid, burning stomach in ten minutes by the watch and natural digestion will follow without pain or uncomfortable feeling of any kind. Continued use of bisurated magnesia does not weaken natural digestion and it is perfectly safe to use at any time. It can be had at almost any drug store but be sure it Is bisurated magnesia you are getting. Do not use other forms of magnesia for this purpose. • I J I HOW TO BE SUM ji 5 If you are too fat and want ji | to reduce your weight 15 or 20 ij % pounds, don't starve and weaken 'i ? yonr system, or think you must c always be laughed at on account <[ S of your fat, but go to any good ]i f druggist, and get a box of Oil ? i of Koreln capsules, take one after ■[ 5 each meal and one before retiring ]■ ? at night. ij 4 Weigh yourself once a week V and note what a pleasant and re- % J liable method this is for removing 'i ]( superfluous fat from any part of S JC the body.

"That makes It even again." The blind man smiled slightly as he fol lowed Into the main body of the hotel. " 'Lo, cap!" greeted the thick voice of the loose-Jowlod, purple-cheeked man who puffed as he wiggled out of his heavy coat. "Devil of a time to break up a man's party. Where's the body?" The cordiality went from the voice as he apparently saw the blind man for the first time. " 'Lo Colton! In on this, too? Gotn' to make another flying-death mystery, and go over our heads?" Coroner Blerbauer, ltke Captain McMann, had never forgotten the blind man's solving of the girl violin ist's death at the theater, and the sequel murder of the theater manager, Crawford. In the rathskeller, by the nsane knife thrower. Both had oc curred in their precinct; and, while they had bent every effort to fasten the guilt on two wholly innocent per sons, the blind man had gone over their heads to the chief of the detec tive bureau, and had forced a confes sion from the real murderer. Thornley Colton merely contented himself with a nod of recognition as Captain McMann took the coroner aside. For several minutes the two held a whispered conversation. The talk was official, uninteresting, and Colton did not event attempt to hear, but his super-keen ears, trained to lo cate sounds unerringly, and to tell his brain their meaning, were strained to catch each significant sound in the lobby. He knew that there were groups of men on the seats and divans conversing In tremulous whispers. Manager Carl had left them the min ute they came out of the office, and Colton knew that he had gone to the door of the dlnlngroom. The blind man did not need eyes to tell him that the suspicions of the diners In the restaurant, aroused by his action of feeling the wrist of the dead man, had become tangible cer tainty. With the typical New York er's fear of the witness stand and the House of Detention, the diners had gone scurrying away, with nervous glances at the unmoving man. The brusque entrance of the uniformed captain, known Immediately through the whole floor, proved these sus picions. Those remaining In the lobby and diningroom were only the morbidly curious waiting for- some thing to develop. Captain McMann turned from Bler bauer and nodded to a square-chin ned, square-toed man, who puffed a black cigar in a leather wall chair. The man rose and walked over leis urely. i "Cover the doors, Tom," Captain McMann ordered. "Done, cap." "Anything?" "Nope." "See the book?" "Every name. Reg'lar hotel bunch." "New men ?" "Waiter. Been here two days." "Details?" "Nope. Not yet." "Get 'em. Have a couple of uni formed men cover the dinlngroom doors." "Yep. Heard talk of the thing. Took a peek. Quern - case, cap." "Uh-huh!" The captain nodded toward the waiting coroner, and start ed toward the restaurant. "You aidn't lose any time, captain," Colton said, and there was sincere compliment in his tone. The police j official had had his men take care of every possible end, from a police viewpoint, except examining the body and scene of the crime. That was the work of the superior. If the captain understood the com- Digestive Troubles cause headache, biliousness, constipation, impure blood and other unpleasant symp toms.

"No grass'll grovr under my feet in this case, believe me!" There was a grim emphasis In the remark that did not escape the problemist.

The bearded man still sat in nls , chair; his relaxed hand was still around the stem of the wineglass in which the bubbles had ceased to rise. His eyes, bright, with none of the fishy dullness that comes to dead ej es usually, stared straight ahead. The bearded chin was still held high. Ihe arm with the slashed wrist was un- j moved. Nothing was changed; yet! everything was different. An hour before, there had been laughter and | gaiety on every Bide. Now j reigned supreme In the big dining room. The waiters, the captains, ( leaden-footed and torpld-bralned with the demoralization that had sent the diners bustling away, were gathered in small groups, whispering, glancing apprehensively at the single occupant of the big room. Empty dishes, empty glasses were £tlll on the tables, be cause discipline had gone. Captain McMann'# eyes tooK in every detail of the picture as he walked to the table. Then he turned over the hand that was palm down and whistled a combination of sur prise and professional satisfaction as he saw the three gaping slashes across the wrist artery. Then of puzzlement came to his florid brow. . "How long ago did this happen. he demanded of the nervous manager, who stood back, wringing his hands. "X don't know." stammered Carl. "Mr. Colton says that he has been dead for hours." "Right, at that!" The admission came scowllngly from the coroner, who had lifted the glass of dead wine from the relaxed lingers, and was feel ing tl e wrist that was uncut. "Why didn't you notify us before, then?" asked the policeman sharply. "Don't you know that there's a jail | penalty for concealing crime?" "You came within three-quarters of | an hour after the discovery," put in the blind man quietly. "How's that? The man's been dead j hours! How'd he get here?" "Walked," answered Colton shortly. An exclamation came from the cor oner, as he rolled up a sleeve to the elbow and ran his hands up the arm to the shoulder and then down the back. "The body 1b in a metal brace!" he ejaculated. "Silver, by the Lord Harry!" He exposed the silver, clev erly hinged double circlets around the arm above and below the elbow. "Mr. Colton said it was steel," de clared the manager nervously. "Mistake number one," admitted the problemist candidly; then he spoke to Blerbauer: "Those gaping slashes weren't made after death, were they, coroner. Bierbauer darted him a sharp glance before he took the wrist in hand to examine it. "No!" The negative came with an air of finality, and the explanation that followed showed that he respect ed the ability of the blind man. "The 'lay' of the slashes was made by the flow of blood from the artery. If the cuts had been made after death, they would be straight, and cleanly open. These 'lip" a trifle where the blood has forced them up over the arterial passage." "Then death was caused by arter lotomy ?" "Yes," nodded Blerbauer. "No doubt of it." "What's that arter-omy thing?" growled Captain McMann. "Bleeding to death." Colton put it into simple words. Then he spoke again to the coroner: "Aren't hi 3 eyes unusually bright?" "How'd you know that. If your blindness isn't bunk?" snapped the short-tempered police captain. Thorn ley Colton had taken the principal part away from him, and he resented it. "The dullness of dead eyes would have attracted immediate attention," Colton explained frankly. "Chemical," declared the coroner, a trifle ungraciously. The captain and he were old friends. But he was go ing to show the Interloper that he knew his business, and knew it well. "Atropine," he added. "Uh!" Colton turned away and spoke over his shoulder as he went to the next table. "I thought bella donna merely dilated the eye pupils, lo make them lustrous. I had no idea it would act on dead eyes!" The coroner's face fushed as he realized his mistake, and he muttered something under his breath. But the blind man had apparently forgotten the two men. His back was toward them, and his sensitive finger tips were gingerly brushing a damp spot on the cloth of the next table, mov ing gently the sharp fragments of a broken wineglass. With a quick mo tion, he thrust his fingers into his vest pocket; not quickly enough, how ever, to escape the sharp eyes of Mc- Mann. "What was that?" he demanded, ;as he strode over. "What was it?" Thornley Colton reached into his I pocket again and held out the thing jhe had picked up. "Merely a frag ! ment of broken wineglass, captain. There are others there; take all you | wart" | AfcMann took the small piece of I glass from the outstretched palm with no word of apology. His brows bead ed as he looked at it, trying to puzzle out the ltUnd man's object in attempt ing to conceal it. It was nothing but a broken piece of thin wineglass stem, like half a dozen others on the table next to the one where sat the dead man. But McMann was nothing if not cautious. "The police are m charge of this case. I'll take care of this." "Very well," assented Colton. "Good-night, captain!" Colton's ready acquiescence struck the captain as suspicious. "What is it?" he asked again, his tone this time on© of assumed amuse ment. The race has ceased to be even, that Is all." The problemist nodded a good-night to the coroner, and walked leisurely away, a peculiar smile survlng his thin lips. His lightning-moving fingers had picked up two of the glass fragments. The one that the captain had not seen was still safe in his vest pocket.
