TAKE "MURDER" STORY TO CAPITAL 1 Miners Declare Coroner's Ver dict on Death of Woman Is Untrue Pittsburgh, Oct. 18.—Announce ment is made that J. C. Brown, as sistant to W. 7J. Foster, secretary of the Rteel workers' national commit tee, has forwarded to Chairman Iven yon, of the Senate committee investi gating the strike, an affidavit signed by two physicians in which it is as serted that the coroner's verdict in the case of Mrs. Fannie Seliens, shot and killed near a coal mine at West Natrona, Pa., August 26, was not in accordance with the facts. Mrs. Seliens was an organiser for the United Mine Workers. It was testified that deputy sheriffs fired at a crowd, at the time Mrs. Seliens was killed, in self-defense. Wit nesses for the strikers declared she was killed while protecting chtldren. The coroner's jury verdict was to the effect she was killed by persons unknown during a riot. The affidavit of the physicians made after the body was exhumed and examined this week, aver the woman was shot three times —twice in the head and once in the back. The coroner's finding shows death was due to a gunshot wound in the left temple. The affidavit was sent to th> Sen ate committee, it was announced, to show sho was killed by a shdt in the back and that the other two bullet wounds were made probably after she had been killed. The woman was shot nearly_a month before the steel strike started. Labor union leaders have charged that she was murdered and that her killing is evi dence of the alleged methods used by certain companies in fighting un ion labor in the Pittsburgh district. The case was brought to the atten tion of the Senate committee in Washington about two weeiig fff o and again last Sunday when the Sen ators held a hearing in this city. folds fiiMf Headarlir* and Palm Feverish Headaches and Body Tains caused from a cold are soon relieved by taking LAXATIVE BROMO QT'ININK Tablets.

"I had doctors galore, also spent four months in a sanitarium but had practically no relief. Then 1 started taking Rheuma.

Tour complexion is not merely in the . very outer skin. It is deeper than that. It is in the part of the skin immedinjelv underneath the outer layer. Complexion ■ creams which merely affect the outer layer are as a rule very ineffectual. A method gaining' wide use because of its tremendous success lies in the use of zintone, a powder which Is simply mixed at home with a little glycerine and dis solved in water. This makes an ex quisite cream. The zintone can be secured at any drugstore in one ounce packages for SO cents. This is also a very economical method. By liberal use of this article, a tremen dous difference in the complexion is noted in a few days by the disap pearance of muddiness, sallowness, red spots, freckles and other blem ishes. MRS. G. F. O. C.—Tes, you can eas ily remove blackheads in a few mo ments. even while you are engaged in your toilet. And to think you have been years trving to get rid of these embarrassing blackheads! On a l ot wet cloth sprinkle some pow dered neroxin, which you can get at the drugstore for 50 cents, and rub this over the affected skin. You will find the blackheads will le entirely gone in a few moments Continue this method every few days. MRS. C. A. —By all m .ins you should not use mechanical instru ments fr.r bust development. Use a safe formula, by mixing two ounces of ruetone. half a cup of sugar and a half pint of water. Two table spoonfuls of this after each meal, and one at bedtime, will in most in-* stances do wonderful work. Of course, no one can promise sure re sults in any one case, but this for mula should do the work. — 1 Influenza Dangers Easily Avoided by Liberal Use of Dash Balm The danger of a recurrence of the influenza epidemic of last year is by no means small.
