Search Hangs on 12 Safety fe Deposit Keys jBrt - f«Vfan Who Died at California ftiS II I'nir5 Hotel Reported to Be p" Worth Five Mil } lions. L'klah, Cal., Aug. 30.—The poten tial $5,000,000 estate of Dr. Richard Kahle, upon which the public ad ministrator has petitioned for let ters, today hinged upon the ability of the authorities here to find twelve safe deposit boxes which could be opened by 12 puzzling keys found among the doctor’s effects after his death at a summer resort near here a few days ago. Dr. Kahle's fortune dwindled con siderably in the community eye to day with the receipt here of news dis patches telling that Edward Thaw, a wealthy philanthropist of Milton, Mass., had aided Dr. Kahle whoie mind was affected when America en tered the world war against Ger many, his native country. Although county authorities were not available here today to tell how they arrived at the figure of $5,000, 000 which they gave as the value of Dr. Kahle’s estate, It is believed they were impressed by the doctoris secre tive manner and mall which bore the postmark of Mr. Thaw’s Pitts burg bankers. This belief was strengthened by or ders which came from a Boston un dertaker to provide for the burial for Dr. Kahle. $ In his visits to this community "Much is a pivotal point for visitors to * ^tnmer resorts bordering on the Rus 0g^an river. Dr. Kahle's dignity and 0 bearing contributed towards a com t munity legend that he was a man of wealth, a legend which has a foundation only in the undiscovered wealth which the mysterious 12 keys may release.

A rumor is a story that no one knows positively Is so, and the start o£ which no one seems to know. There are good rumors and bad ru mors, and somehow they travel as tonishing fast. It was a rumor that caused the young Chuck, who for some time had been living In the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard, to make up his mind that it "They say that Shadow the Weasel has been seen on the old stone Wall,” cried Striped Chipmunk was time for him to move on. me rumor was that Shadow the Weasel had been seen running along on the old stone wall. Now, Shadow the Weasel was one whom the young Chuck never had seen and never wanted to see. He had been told about him by his mother almost as soon as he could understand. He knew that Shadow was one enemy from whom he could not escape by means of a hole in the ground or any other kind of a hole. It was true that by now he was so big that Shadow might hesitate to at tack him. But he had feared Shadow for so long that he had no desire to meet him. He had got the rumor from Striped Chipmunk. Striped Chipmunk had come rush ing along the old stone wall as if his worst enemy were at his heels. "They say that Shadow the Weasel has been seen on the old stone wall!" cr'ed Striped Chipmunk, and his teeth fair ly chattered with fright. “Who says eo?” asked the young Chuck. "Oh, everybody! It is all through the Old Orchard!” chattered Striped Chipmunk. "I got it from my cousin. Chatterer the lied Squirrel. He says that Sammy Jay said that Welcome Robin said that Skimmer the Swal low said that Jenny Wren said that Winsome Bluebird said that Borne one told him that he was seen this very morning. I’ve been frightened half to death ever since I heard it. Oh. dear, I can’t stop here talking! You better keep your eyes open;" With this off scampered Striped Chipmunk as fast as he had come.

Some are well, strong, rigorous, full of the vim and energy that win in aocial and business life. Others are weak, emaciated, lack ing in all that counts for power and auccosa —mere nobodies In active affairs. And yet moet of these run-down people could au*v ,y become well and strong if they would only h dp Nature to restore their bodi ‘i a normal condition. What they need is an efficient general tonic and regulator. If they will do what thousands of other people once weak and lacking in energy now strong and well —have done, they will use Lyko to get on their feet again. It is simply amazing to read of the wonderful help Lvko has given to people who had become worn cut in mind and body, many of them discouraged, hopeless of regaining their health and strength Mr Johns*)!, a resident of Kan sas I'ity. was amazed at the way I.vko built up his run down con stitutlon. He says, "When I began taking Lyko I was thin and g.-.unt, weighed only 130 pounds and felt a groat lack of 'pep.' Now t wc,.h 14? pounds, am lull of energy and never feel tired " H. Jenkins, of Chicago, is so other to whom Lyko has meant renewed strength and vigor. The following is from his letter: “My business Keeps me closely confined to the office and at a desk all day long. As a result, tuv system be came all clogged up. 1 was always tired, rested poorly at night and grew nervous and Irritable. 1 began using Lyko and now I am in fine shape again, feel cheerful, and am able to do much more work without fatigue or nervous strain." Mitrhell Murray, of Missouri, sends a letter which says: “When I be •>« to take Lyko I was so weak I could hardly walk across the room. Now I am able to do a pretty fair day's work, and my neighbors are amazed at the effect” J. D Miller of Chicago writes: "We have been using l yko in our family and find it the best tonic for stomach and bowels we have ever used " F B Barker of Florida is another who write* in praise of Lyko. He say* “Mv wife's health was all run down and sho has greatly im prov'd since taking Lyko." Lyko is a scientific preparation containing pure medicinal ingredi ents each of which has a beneficial action on s >me part of the system. It has a nnid but effective laxative action which gets rid of constipa tion. It alto stimnlatM a lasy stomach to normal action and im proves digestion so that tha body absorb* the full strength from tha food. As many ail manta coma frsm a disordered digestive are tern ar from a clogged up condition of tha bowels, Lyko helps to remove owe of the great caosee of discomfort and illness. Certain ingredients in Lyko have a direct and beneficial action aw the kidney* and liver; others flea strength to the nervous system ar^ prevent what is known as nervous fatigue and mental exhaurtiow. Practically every part of th# body is helped to return to its full health and strength by Lyko. And a hoaithv body means physical and mental power, magnetic personal ity, the appearance that brings ad miration and confidence.
