Mrs. Sanders had been in poor health for several years and despondency was the cause of the act. which had evidently been planned for some time.

It was found that before shooting she had also taken some carbolic acid. She leaves her husband and six children, most of them grown. She was 47 years of age and was the last of a family of sisters.

A Well Known Remedy. Constipation Is man's worst enemy, nnj half the bodily Ills are a result thereof. Nature meant that the bowels should be kept open, that we should have a free move ment once a day. When we find our bow e's do not move, we resort to powerful remedies which are so drastic In their action that they damage the tender lining of the bowels and leave a worse condition than before. Why take such Injurious and expensive drugs when we can obtain from any druggist, much cheaper, a bottle of Nature's own remedy, HUNYADI JANOS Water, the famous Natural laxative? This water Is bottled at the springs In Hungary and In use nearly half a century, one-half a tumblerful, on arising, will bring within an hour a refreshing movement, gentle, natural and thorough, without any griping or other bad effecta. As a whole bottle costs but a trifle, keep mo ;ilvavs on hand. Look out for unscrupuU us druggists, who will substitute unless you ask for HUNYADI JANOS. r TO GET ITS BENEFICIAL EFFECTS, ALWAYS BUY THE GENUINE, S i vMMw ,iiHlill- U wm" lU n "- . 1 itMJ iilim r " -aa i I m Jk- aatfwsju.
