Druggist Tells How to Cure the Liquor Habit at Home Free Prescription Can Be Filled At Any Drug Store anil Given Secretly H. J. Brown, 409 West Superior Ave., Cleveland, Ohio, was for many years a confirmed drunkard. His friends and relatives despaired of ever redeeming him. His sister sought the best medi cal men in Europe in the hope that she might find something which would cure him. Finally she was recommended to an eminent chemist who gave her a private formula (the same as appears below) and told her how to use it. She had it filled at the drug store and gave it to him secretly. The results were start ling. In a few weeks he was com pletely cured That was over eight years ago and he has not touched a drop since. He now occupiej a position of trust and is enthusiastic in his ef forts to help others overcome the liquor habit. He feels that he can best do this by making public the same for mula which cured him.

Stagg. Copyright, W. J. Watt & Co., International News Service. (ConUnued From Yesterday.) "You mean the crow that has been the mouthpiece of Silver Sandals for years." "Yes, to both questions." "Funny we didn't see any sign of it when we searched the house. But then there wasn't a thing but the clippings and the photograph." He broke oft quickly. "That feather you found!" Colton nodded. "From the crow. I am 'playing it here agalnt a pawn and the queen. It should be against the king!" he decided suddenly. His hand changed the pieces. He snap ped on the incandescents so that the official could see the chessboard with its strange "men./* "Here is the crimj. The queen is Silver Sandals. The pawn is the waiter who .guided us. He stayed behind to find the crow. But you frightened him away. He is the real George Nelson, waiter, age twenty-seven!" "How do you know that?" "Because I'm blind. I've known it from the first. That's why I wanted you to locate him. I found out that he was a waiter a minute after he spoke to me. I touched his hand as he walked beside me to the house of Silver Sandals. He had the waiter's thumb, peculiarly developed by carry ing heavy plates of food. But I real ized that a man in his condition couldn't have been the waiter who had helped the man to the table. I recognized him only as a pawn. That's why I wanted to know If the man the police had arrested was he. When it wasn't, I thought they had just made one of their mistakes, until the words of the crow told me that an other had been drilled to so often say the same thing that the mechanical brain of the talking bird had picked up the words." "But why should he have pretended to be a guide?" the district attorney demanded. "Why should he be in rags, if he was a good enough serv ing man to have had a position on Bracken's yacht?" "Why is my secretary sleeping, up stairs?" asked the blind man quietly. "Hypnotism?" "Yes. Superinduced by heavy drinking. He was gotten drunk so that his papers could be stolen. But he was too valuable a subject to let go. There was further use for him. He was kept under the influence of Silver Sandals because the waiter would naturally be the first person suspected by the police. And this waiter who had made his name and occupation so well known in the neighborhood that even the boys on the streets knew it was intended to be the blind to throw the police off the track until my secretary be came a better one. Oh, it was care fully planned; every step, every move." "But I don't get it." Puzzlement brought slang in place of the official's usual careful diction. "The whole thing shows so many evidences of careful and elaborate planning, yet the results make a useless mess of un necessary trouble." "For instance?" "The slashed wrists. Why, that alone almost precludes the possibility of murder, except for the marks of violence on the body. But there are so many easier and quicker ways of accomplishing the same result. And think of the evidence that must be left behind when the police locate the place where the murder was done. The blood and the marks on the body showed that the man must have strug gled fearfully." "The struggling was all done before the wrists were slashed. There is no doubt that he was drugged first." "But, great Scott, man! If they could drug him, why couldn't they poison him in the first place?" "•^ nd the natural next question," put in the blind man seriously: "Why didn't they leave him where he was murdered, instead of actually court ing discovery by bringing him to a public restaurant?" "I don't understand any of it'" The confession came almost in the tone of a curse. "The silver-steel frame! Think of the cold-bloodedness of fix ing that to a dead body." "Colton's fingers touched the dime on his chessboard. "That has already taken its place, he said. "Meaning," he added, "that I have already solved that part of the problem. The brace was i.ot put on the dead body. "But it was there." "It was worn before the man was dead. * " Y °" mean that the murderers rorced the man who was to be killed to adjust it himself?" The district attorney could not keep the horror from his voice. "No. I mean that he donned it without coercion. He put in on will ingly. ••Why why •• The inter rogations came as gasps from the of ncial. "Certainly. Common sense and the evidence we have teli us that. The death notices, the photograph, the bottle of wine served at the table the papyrus notes written by himself, the strange words of the ventriloquist woman she was a ventriloquist despite the assertions of a thousand persons that she had been deaf and dumb for a quarter of a century Even the method of getting him to the din ingroom points to but one thing." "The method of getting him to the restaurant?" That part of the blind man s statement made the district at torney forget everything else. That •ant sentence brought back to his mind the fact that) no one seemed able to tell how the strange couple had gotten to the diningroom where they had been met by the waiter "Do you know how they got to the dining room?" he asked. "Through the private diningroom that was built especially for the ac commodation of Philip J. Bracken when he is in town, and which con nects with his private suite by means The old-fashioned blunderbuss lacked concen trated energy. How like many foods of low nutri tive value which fail to give driving force to body and brain. Q rape-Nuts is concentrated food-strength in easily digestible and delicious form. For building health and efficiency, every table should have its daily ration of Grape-Nuts. "There's a Reason" HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH of a private elevator." "Bracken's private suite!" The words seemed to pull the district at torney from his chair by their very violence. "Exactly," confirmed Colton. "Nat urally you remember the talk it caus ed when the hotel was built ten years ago. Bracken's deep-rooted objection to newspaper publicity has kept it out of the public's mind ever since. Whenever he has to spend a few days on dry land he goes to his hotel and lives like a hermit. You know that." "And the suite is forgotten from one year's end to the other." The dis trict attorney was pacing the room be fore the desk. "I know it well, but I never even thought of it." "Very few people have, up to the present," remarked Colton dryly. "For the simple reason that the seeing de pend on eyes to maxe them remem ber. My bruin instantly understood that possibility because it never for gets. But there are other things to be done first. That could not get away. The others could." "And the suite has absolutely no connection wHh the upper halls." The official was turning the thing over in his mind as he walked the floor. "When Bracken comes he brings his own servants, and the entrance to the diningroom is in the court beside the hotel!" "But even Bracken had his gregar ious moments," the blind man declar ed. "There is a door connecting the private diningroom with the big res taurant that is carefully concealed be hind the palms near the lobby en trance." "That has not been used for years!" put in the district attorney. "I know it. It is screwed shut. I remember when Bracken had it done. He had the " Colton cut in on the story: "It was used last night!" "But some one would have seen the man and the woman coming out," pro tested the official. "Not when everything had been carefully; timed. The attention ,of every one in the restaurant was cen tered on the new cabaret act. The two hat-check men were away. Al though the restaurant entrance is into the lobby, it is arranged so that the lobby loungers cannot stare into the diningroom. The woman had to bring the dead man but a step through the door behind the palms, and the waiter was there to help her. It was but another step through the hiding palms to the door. The hour chosen was when only the ables In the center of the room had been filled and those near the entrance were empty. It was the work of an instant when all eyes were somewhere else. Eyes always are when the attention of the ears is attracted, and it was too far away for even my super-keen ears to hear." "The waiter you mean young Bracken?" That was the only thing that seemed to strike the district at torney for the moment. "Of course! Of course!" he answered his own question, hands working at his sides, face more haggard than ever as he paced the floor. "He could get the keys of the suite, he would know all about it. He is the only one who could do it." He stopped suddenly as another question popped to his mind: "But the police must have learned of that suite! Rooms in a hotel like the Beaumonde can't be hidden like secret chambers in a castle." "No doubt," agreed Colton. "But police eyes probably saw the un touched screw heads in the door. They saw the marks of violence on the body that meant struggle. Their eyes told their brains that the murder could not have been committed in the hotel without raising an alarm." "They are right!" The district at torney qualified it. "They must be right! If the murder was commit ted five hours before the body was discovered, it was committed in the daylight! The dead body would have had to be smuggled to the private diningroom, to the suite, and then back. That would be more trouble than taking it directly to the restau rant." "\es, if it was a dead bodv, but it wasn't. It was a living man!" Col ton reached across the chess-board to pull the telephone toward him. "You think he was forced to write the notes to the coroner and the po lice captain, and the death notices, and pose for the photograph, and ad just the brace in that suite before he was killed?" The words came im patiently. "No. Those things were all done before he went to the private suite in the afternoon." "Great Scott, man!" The district attorney gasped his incredulity. "You are saying that the man himself made all those elaborate preparations to be murdered!" "Yes," Colton answered very quietly, as he lifted the telephone re ceiver from its hook. "That is ex actly what he did." CHAPTER XI Clows Not For Eyes The problemist gave a number over the 'phone, but the dazed official did not even hear it. His mind was still trying to grasp the meaning of the i amazing thing he had just heard i Then the voice of the blind man aroused him. "Captain McMann? Good-evening captain. Ihis is Colton. Any trace of the girl with the golden hair? No? N°r of the silver-sandaled woman? >.othing, eh? By the way, captain do you know where the murder was committed? I thought not. The man : was killed in the bathroom of Philip J. Bracken's private suite at the Beau , monde. That's true! Oh, you exam : ined the suite thoroughly. any . thing? Probably not. But I'm going I there in an hour or so, and I'm going !to find something. Good-by!" | Colton's lips held a cynical smile as he snapped the receiver back on the j hook and raised his head to face the ' district attorney.

"Your statement that the j man made all the plans to hide the | guilt of his murderefte is too much." j "That has been obvious from the j very first." The first puff of smoke 1 from a newly lighted cigaret ended j the sentence. "Simply because the very elaborateness of the thing made it the only possibility. The timing of events alone proves that the thing was planned months in advance. Accord ing to the expert opinion of Brown, the making of the framework to sup- | port the body took years. And com mon sense would tell any one that without the cooperation of the dead man there must have been slips. Re member that, the final scene was timed to minutes!" "More hypnosis!" the district at torney discovered suddenly. "The re markable woman of the silver sandals; the one who hypnotized your secre- ' tary, and, you say, the missing waiter. : Great Scott!" He mopped his fore- | head with his handkerchief. "Think j of the diabolical ingenuity of compell ing a man, by hypnotism, to prepare for his own murder months in ad- j vance!" "A pretty theory," credited the blind man. "But false, or, rather, reversed." "You mean " hesitated the of ficial. "That the silver-sandaled* woman and the girl were dominated abso- j lutely by the will of the dead man!" The watch beside the chessboard I ticked off several seconds before the j district attorney made reply. "That | is the most incredible statement I ; ever heard!" he ejaculated, whan he ,had carefully turned the blind man's statement over in his mind to see what lay under it. "It is true, nevertheless." "But It's unreasonable! It is prac tically an admission that the dead j man forced three " "I said the woman and the girl ! were controlled by the dead man," in- i terrupted Colton. "I did not mention Bracken." "Two"—the correction came chok ingly—"two persons drawn into a murder pact, with himself as the vic tim!" Colton nodded. "Practically that," he admitted. "I can't believe that sane persons would deliberately put themselves Into the electric chair!" The district at torney was on his feet again, walk ing back and forth In characteristic lawyer fashion. "That Is what It means. According to your statement, they arc either murderers or acces sories before and after the fact." Thornley Colton merely shrugged his shoulders.

R. 1 BILL IS ASSAILED I [Continued From Hrst Page] : from any power In the country, no j j matter what the consequences. I The address was delivered in the i j auditorium before a crowd of 3,000, a j large part of which was openly hostile and had attempted to start demon strations for Wilson by hisses and cat calls. His fighting words won the crowd for the time and found ap plause: He said: I will say this further, that I believe there is no grievance with respect to labor that cannot be settleJ by a fair, candid examina tion of the facts. We have in the past had to deal frequently with the opposition of employers to the principle of arbitration. Some times they have refused to arbi trate disputes and I would not surrender it to anybody in the i country. I believe that anything that is right in this country can | be settled*right. What has our ! great Republican government j done? What are our free institu j tions? We have come down the j long course of history with the j people fighting slowly, now with I defeat and now with victory, for I a recognition of the reign of rea son instead of the reign of tyranny and force. We have emerged into a great ! country peopled with intelligent men and women. We have educational opportuni ties on every side. We have an alert electorate. We have people who understand expertly all the various activities of our life from j every possible side. .Stands For Arbitration | Now, then, I stand for two things—■ 1 first, for the principle of fair, impar- 1 i tial, thorough, candid arbitration, and ; second, for legislation on facts accord- ' | ing to the necessities of the case, and j I am opposed to being dictated to ! either in the executive department or 1 j in Congress by any power on earth ! before the facts are known and in the absence of the facts. We have a great country and a great future, but it can only be preserved in one way: That way is the way of all honest. 1 fair investigation and candid treat ment. ,Ihow me the way that is right and l will take it; but I won't take ; any way that I do not know anything about.

The crowd jumped to its feet and cheered for a full minute.
