Nifty Neighbor Child She Smiled
at Writes a Threatening
Letter.

TRACED BY PHONE CALL

Bey’s Explanation Is Ho Wished to
Be Detective or Reporter and
Wanted to Get Into Atmos-
phere of Mystery.

Chicago.—Mrs. Guy Edwards, twen-
ty-eight and pretty, used to smile
casually at the boy across the hall at
4542 North Racine avenue. He was
a nifty child of fourteen years, with
cheeks like the rosy wax clothiers’
dummies, and the graces of a dancing
master. His name was Harold Gunn.

Three weeks ago Mrs. Edwards
stopped smiling altogether and was
headed for a hysterical nervous break-
down. A Black Hand love suit intro-
duced itself through her mail. The
letters were dark with threats w’hero
they weren’t flowery with love. This
line appeared in all three received by
Mrs. Edwards:

“I’m a friendly ally, but a dan-
gerous enemy. Your husband, Guy Ed-
wards, is an old-time wife deserter.
Come to me, love. If you wall meet
me put a personal ad in the Tribune.”

Lay Trap for Him.

All the letters were written on tis-
sue paper. They were followed by a
telephone "ampaign. Mrs, Edwards
received three or four calls a day at

Suggestions to Childless
Women,

Among the virtues of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the
ability to correct sterility in the
cases of many women. This fact is
well established as evidenced by the
following letter and hundreds of other?
we have published in these colums.

Poplar ij.iuff, Mo.—’’I want other
women t< ? ow what a blessing Lydia
yn E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound has
been to me. We
had always wanted
a baby in our home
but I was in poor
health and not able

to do my work. My
mother and hus-
band both urged me
to try Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable
Compound. I did
so, my health im-

Sroved and I am now the mother of a
ne baby girl and do all my own house
work.’’-Mrs. Allia B. Timmons, 2ie
Almond St., Poplar Bluff, Mo.

In many other homes, once childless,,
there are now children because of the
fact that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
healthy and strong

cine Co., Lynn, Mass., for advice—it

Yesterday she and Mr. Edwards de-
cided to trap the anonymous letter
writer. Mrs. Edwards agreed to meet
her mysterious pursuer when he called
over the telephone as usual. She and
Mr. Edwards then secured the services
of Detective Sergeants Thomas Cassin
and John Mason from the bureau. The
detectives went to the Sunnyside ex-
change and traced the next call to Mrs.
Edwards’ apartment. It came from a
drug store at Racine and Wilson ave-
nues. Cassin and Mason jumped into
an auto and raced for it while Mrs.
Edwards kept her suitor on the wire-

Look, Mother! If tongue i&
coated, give “California,
Syrup of Figs." ,

Children love this “fruit laxative,”
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.

A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result la
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don’t eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath Is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhea.. Listen*
Mother! Sea if tongue is coated, tneu*
give a teaspoonfnl ' £ “California
Syrup of Figs,” and in a lew b urs alt
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-
tem, and you have a well chila again,.

Millions of mothers give “California
Syrup of Figs” because it Is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and 1. nev-
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.

Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of “California Syrup of Figs,” which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.

“See here, Jibbs, didn’t you tell me-

you wanted to?”

Boy Admits Charges.

The boy admitted the whole matter
when faced with the charge. He said
he had no reason for doing it, except
that he wished to be a detective or
newspaper reporter and wanted to get
into an atmosphere of mystery. He
was taken to the cential bureau,
where he refused to see Mrs. Edwards
when she called. Young Gunn’s moth-
er swooned when told her boy was
arrested. She said he had been brought
up as a home boy and had never been
allowed to have sweethearts. The one
girl he had gone with he met last sum-
mer at the Wilson avenue beach.

“I permitted him to take her to the
theater* once,” she said. “That was
his only love affair, and he has always
been a kind, dear boy to me.”

Harold, who is fourteen, quit high
school several months ago, and is em-
ployed with a real estate firm.

“Didn't you get a chance to cry
out?”

"Oh, yes, but what did the nurse-

RICH GIRL BECOMES NURSE

She Says It Is Fine to Be Doing Some-
thing Besides Spending
Money.

Kansas City, Mo.—Miss Letitia Cur-
tis, owner of valuable oil lands,
descendant of a United States Osage
chieftain and relative of Senator
Charles Curtis of Kansas, has given
up a life of luxury to help the poor.
She is a nurse at St. Mary’s hospital.

Instead of a luxurious apartment to
which she had been accustomed, Miss
Curtis rooms with another nurse, both
sleeping in one bed. No more dances
nor social affairs for her.

“I haven’t seen my motor car for a
week,” says Miss Curtis. “I don’t care.
I love this new life. It is fine to be
doing something. It is better than
just spending money and hunting fun.”

THIS IS THE AGE OF YOUTH.

You will look ten years younger if you,
darken your ugly, grizzly, gray hairs by-
