Wilson who Is $200,000 richer to day than she thinks she is because of a circus man's memory of something in his past, tinged with sawdust-ring ro mance. In an almost forgotten locker at the Scottish Rite temple there was found a bit of paper on which Charles D. Hageman, one of the owners of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, who died unexpectedly Sunday in Mansfield, 0., had written his will. In a few words the will left the whole of the Hageman fortune,' estimated at $200,000, largely invested in Kansas City apartment houses, to "Sarah K. Wilson, of Kan sas City." Who Sarah K. Wilson Is, whether a relative, a sweetheart of circus days, or a friend who had been kind to him, no one seems to know. Hagaman, who was 60 years old, left no family. It is not even known where he spent his child hood. He came to Kansas City a num ber of years ago, when he partially abandoned "the road" and lived part of the time at the Scottish Rite Temple and part of the time at the Hotel Bal timore.

Red Blood for Pale People! A big supply of red blood corpuscles is what helps to make any man or woman have a healthy, pink complexion and cherry red lips. Resort to paint and powder are totally unnecessary and besides that, are harmful. Three-grain liypo-nuclane tablets, if used regularly for several months, seem to create a greatly added number of millions to the red and white corpuscles of the blood, and not only improve the color, but add increased flesh to the thin and frail body. These tablets promote assimila tion. absorption and digestion, and this splendid aid to nature's forces trans forms the complexion and figure. They are prescribed by physicians, but be ing of a perfectly harmless character, self-administration i 3 being followed by many, who obtain them direct from any well-stocked apothecary shop. —Adv. 25
