Kane, Pa.—The war has resulted in
the finding of Eddie Adams, who was
, kidnaped from his home here on
J April 16, 1910, it is believed.
i The parents of young Adams, who
was only nine years old when he
i disappeared, have received word that
; strengthens the hope the boy has been
found.
• The word, it is said, came from Italy
through a Red Cross nurse, who dis-
i covered the identity of the lost boy
'among the native soldiers in a base
ihospital in that country. Wliile dress-
ing the wounds of a young soldier she
discovered that he wasn’t an Italian,
though he fought in the Italian army.
Further investigation revealed that he
was an American and that he had left
home when a small boy. He remem-
bered hte own name and the town in
Pennsylvania where he had lived, both
of which corresponded with that of
Ed Adams, of Kane.
After the boy’s disappearance it was
learned that he was taken away by
an Italian. At nation-wide search was
instituted, but no trace of the lad was
ever found.
Detroit.—Since the day of the cere-
mony, Romulus Kateep, twenty-six
years old, and7 his fifteen-year-old
bride, Lillian Sallom, both of Detroit,
Mich., have spoken but once and that
was in court when they were mar-
ried.
Lillian’s father objected to the wed-
ding and an injunction restrained the
young couple from speaking, communi-
cating or even being friendly. For
days they sat side by side in a board-
ing house, confining their exchanges to
glances.
Marion. O.—Twenty-one years ago
Louis Brigel caught the Klondike fe-
ver, when the lust for gold was run-
ning through the country like wild-
fire. And, according to his annual
letter just received here, he has not
yet lost it. He has won and lost sev-
eral fortunes. One July he was ready
to return home with the “stake,” but
decided to wait until Christmas and
surprise the folks with his affluence.
Before autumn rolled around a part-
ner turned bandit and robbed him.
In this year’s letter he repeats his
resolution not to return without
enough to keep him in plenty for the
rest of his life. “And it will be this
year sure,” he says. “I will be back
by next Christmas.”

Minneapolis.—Charles Homerberg Is

robbed him of $140 on a previous

in the same saloon where the previous
“picking" had taken place, and, ac-
cording to the story he afterward
told the police, the pickpocket robbed
him again. His latest loss, he said, to-
taled $1,100, consisting of $200 in cash
and a draft for $900 on an Oakes
bank.
Homerberg told the police of engag-

• No Worms in a Healthy Child
All children troubled with worms have an un-
healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE’S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im-
prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength-
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
in perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle.

The juice of two fresh lemons strained
into a bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable lemon skin
beautifier at about the cost one must
pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to strain
the lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands.

Do not let the man who says, “This,
is the year when I am going to show
you how to farm it,” think that he
will have all clear sailing. He will
meet wildcats and bears at every turn,
and he may consider himself lucky if
he gets off with a whole hide. The
big thing is to stand on the far end pf
the field when the harvest is gathered
in and be able to say, “I did what I
said I would I”
Cigarettes
They Win You On Quality!
Your enjoyment of Camels will be very great

pleasant cigaretty odor |
Camels are made of an expert blend of choice
Turkish and choice Domestic tobaccos and are
smpot-h and mild, but have that desirable full-
body and certainly hand out satisfaction in
generous measure. You will prefer this Camel
blend to either kind of tobacco smoked straight!
