Catholic Nun
Is Kidnaped
in Maryland
J
Teacher of Academy Ts
Knocked Unconscious and
Carried Away—Escapes
After Several Hours.
Frederick, Md., Feb. 13.—(A3)—Po
licemen in this city and Baltimore
were searching today for a man and
woman who are believed to have kid
naped Sister Cecilia, a music teacher
at the Notre Dame academy here, yes
terday afternoon and to have taken
her to Baltimore, where she escaped
from a house there after being held
captive for several hours and returned
to the institution in a dazed condi
tion.
Stewart Cathcart, a taxicab driver
of Baltimore, who brought Sister Ce
cilia to Frederick in his machine last
night, was locked up in jail at the
request of Father Kane. While not
believing Cathcart to be implicated in
the kidnaping, the priest stated that
Cathcart guve evasive answers to
many of his questions.
According to Sister Cecilia's story as
recited to Father William J. Kane,
overseer of the Notre Dame convent,
she was struck over the head with a
blunt instrument by the man and
drugged. She was still in bed today
suffering from fright as a result of
her adventure.
Sister Cecilia, whose age on the con
vent records is given as 31 years, is
from Pittsburgh.
Nothing Strange.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 13— Robert L.
Osborne, the policeman who Sister
Cecilia of Frederick queried as to
train or taxi service, said today he
CM not notice anything strange when
the nun approached him.
Osborne said that Sister Cecilia
told him of "a sick friend in Fred
erick who needed her” and asked him
if he couldn't find some means of get
ting her there. The patrolman said
lie asked several taxicab drivers to
accept her as a passenger, but when
told that she did not have the required
amount of money they refused.
Finally, he said, Stewart Cathcart,
who la being held by the Frederick
police authorities for questioning, con
sented to drive her to that place.
Sister Cecilia told Cathcart, Osborne
said, to dlrve carefully and to pick
out the smoother roads, as she did not
feel any too well.
Osborne said the nikn did not men
tion the kidnaping to him, and he had
no reason to suspect that there had
been foul play.

RECIPE TO CLEAR
Pimple* Are Impurities Seek
ing an Outlet Through
Skin Pores.
Pimples, sores and bolls usually re
sult from toxins, poisons and impuri
ties which are generated In the bowels
end then absorbed Into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
It Is the function of the kidneys to
filter Impurities from tho blood and
cast them out In the form of urine,
but In many instances the bowels cre
ite more toxins and Impurities than
:he kidneys can eliminate; then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means of getting rid of these
inpuritles, which often break out all
>ver the skin In tho form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted author
ity. Is to get from any pharmacy
trbout four ounces of Jad Sails and
Sake a tablespooiiful In a glass of
water each morning before breakfast
Tor One week. This will help prevent
tho formation of toxins In the bowel*
It also stlmuajtes tho kidneys, thus

ourltles and clearing the skin of

Marine Captain Beaten Up ;
' by Peggy Joyce at Dance
Peggy Hopkins Joyce.
Boston. Mass.. Feb. 13—While (lancing with Evans Spaulding in the
Mont Martre cafe in New York, l eggy Hopkins Joyce suddenly stopped in
the middle of* a two-step, with variations, and assaulted the young Boston
captain of marines. This information was offered by the youth’s mother,
Mrs. Mary Evans Spaulding of Manehester-by the-Sea, daughter of the for
mer president of the Maine Central railroad.
Beggy, again branded by Mrs.
Spaulding as a ‘'beautiful boa con
strictor,”' slapped her son again and
again, rained blows upon him with her
clenched fists and scratched his face
until the blood ran. Then, according
to Mrs. Spaulding, followed a dis
graceful discussion that almost result
ed in a riot call being sent out.
Ill Presence of Son.
The story was related by Mrs. Spaul
ding in the presence of her son in
the latter's stateroom aboard the Cun
ard liner Andania. An atmosphere of
mystery hovered over the txW as the
mother of the young Bostonian
brought him to the ilast Boston dock
in a taxi. She went with him to his
stateroom, later scanning the passen
ger list and interviewing the purser.
“As far as I know, Miss Hopkins
is not aboard,” the purser assured
Mrs. Spaulding. *‘I happen to know
! her q.uite well and if she were here
we would all know It," he declared,
I refusing to explain his rather cryptic
statement.
Mrs. Spaulding guarded her son
until 30 seconds from the time the
gangplank was withdrawn. She.
watched with eagle eye every one of
the late arrivals.
"Don't Worry. Mother.”
It was only when the last call came
"all ashore who’re going ashore,”
that Mrs. Spaulding finally left the
side of her son. She whispered the
last instructions in his ear.
"Don't worry, mother; I won't see
her," Evans replied impatiently.
Young Spaulding admitted the as
sault related by his mother. ."She
thought I was flirting with another
girl," he explained. "Rather inclined
to resent that In a way. She did maul
me up so badly that I had to stay
indoors for two days.
"I don't like all thisNfuss about
Peggy. No, I don't know where she
is now and I don’t expect to see her
again, do I. mother?"
"You do, but you won’t," said Mrs.
Spaulding. "Not if I have anything to
do with it. Those two days with her
in Boston without my knowledge is
quite enough," she snapped.

Rosenbluth Removal
Proceedings Dismissed
New Voile, Feb. 13.—United Stat’3
Commissioner Hitchcock today dis
missed removal proceedings instituted
against Capt. Robert Rosenbluth to
obtain his transfer to Tacoma, Wash.,
where he is under federal Indictment
[for the murder of Maj. Alexander P.
•'ronkhito at Camp LetCis, Wash., in
October, 1918. Roscnbluth's $40,009
bail was discharged.
Commissioner Hitchcock concurred
in the contention of Louis Marshall,
I counsel for Captain Rosenbluth, that
| Camp Lewis was not the property of
| the- United States on October 25. 1918,
| when Major Cronkhite was shot and
that the federal courts therefore had
! no jurisdiction In the case.
Major Cronkhlte's death at first
was attributed to accidental self In
jury. Later, Roland Pothier, a
former army sergeant, now living at
Providence, R. 1 . signed an affidavit
saying he shot Major Cronkhite ut
[Captain Rosenbluth's order. He after
wards repudiated the alleged confes
sion. ('yituiii Rosenbluth has con
tended that the charges against him
were a "frame-up" and his friends
have called the affair "another Drey

ing and violent advances took place
in the sugar market today. Futures

May sold at 5.61c; Puly at 5.S2c, and
September at 5.91c, all representing

only 3,800,000 tons, or almost 400,000
tons below th<* previous estimate In
December. Thi.4 estimate was In line
with recent statistics published by the

ent year 725,000 ions above produc
tion.
The spot market also jumped vio
lently, operators bidding 61-4c for
Cuba/ cost and freight, without suc
cess, The refined market also was

V Does the Tax-Collector n
call at night ?
The tax which nobody can
afford to pay is the tax which
is assessed against health.
When nerves are a-jangle
and the night's rest is disturb
ed,health is paying a tax which
cannot safely be continued.
People who drfhk coffee and
tea often find there’s a tax to
pay for the nerve-stimulation
they’ve had from the drug,
caffeine, which coffee and tea
contain. Night-time restless
ness, daytime drowsiness,
nervous irritation and head
aches are common forms of
the first payments.
There's an easy and delight
ful way to avoid the tax,
through Postum instead of
coffee or tea. Postum is fully
satisfying to taste, with all the
comfort and pleasing flavor
which a hot, mealtime bever
age can give — and without
any possibility of harm to
nerves or digestion. As many
cups as you like with any meal.
It would be wise for you to
stop tax-payments to the coffee
and tea drug, and enjoy the
kindness and comfort of
Postum. Begin today, with
an order to your grocer.
Postum copies in two forms: Instant Postum (in
tins) prepared instantly in the cup hy the addition of
boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages), for
those who prefer to make the drink while Ihe meal
is being prepared; made by boiling iully .’0 minutes.
The two forms are equally delicious; and tba cost
is only about Jic per cup.
