! Sf en No More.
George Scliwaibold, 14. 6626 Evans
ittttt, worried became he was taken
into custody of juvenile officers
three weeks ago when , a boyish
"blackmailing" pint, conroered by
bit friend, James Wilson, 16, to get
JJ00 from Could and C. N. Diet,
w discovered.
Mom folk looked on it all as
little more than a joke,
But George worried. He has the
odd sensitiveness of lads of Ins age.
llii friends at school taunted . him
thoughtlessly. ' , ,
"Ah. George's been arrested l"
the v veiled at him. r ' "
And to be arrested was the most
dmcraeeful thing in the world, so
little George thought. He. went
home and cried out his woes to his
mother. He cried alone in b:d. He
brooded.
And last Sunday be went away.
Nobody knows where tlie'shy little
chap has gone. His mother is fran
tic with grief and worry over him.
Neighbors have searched the st.r
rounding country in vain since Sun
day. A fear which they don't like to put
into words haunts the hearts of
those who love the lad who yvas a
Sunday school boy and a good boy
in every way.
Even Jatres Wilson, writer of the
"Three Black Fingers" letters, de
manding money from the Diet
brothers, testified in juvenile court
that George had not a thing to do
with it. -,; a
George's mother is praying that'
he, will return. His little friends say
they will never, never tease him,
again if he will only come back alive
and safe and sound.
He rode his bicycle to Sunday
school last Sunday and that was the
last seen of him by his friends. He
wore blue trdusers, white shirt with
black stripes, a blue tie and a cap.
Fingerprint Murder
Case Goes to Jury
Case of John Latier, negro, ac-.
cused of the murder of Carl Rubens
in his grocery store at Seventeenth
street and Capitol avenue the night
of March 26, went to the jury at 10:25
a. m. yesterday.
The case of the prosecution is
based on a bloody thumbprint on a
raor blade found near the scene of
the crime, and which fingerprint ex
perts testified was identical with the
thumbprint of Latier.
Attorneys for the defense sought
to establish an alibi, claiming Latier
was in another part of the city play
ing cards at he-, time of the murder..
It was Latier's second trial on the
charge. The first jury disagreed.'

The gentleman from "up state"

"Lem'me see that black pair of
shoes in. the northwest corner of

clerk. '
"How much?" he inquired, after
trying on numerous pairs.
"Jus-t $15 and 50 cents war tax,"
beamed the clerk.
"War tax!' The customer leaped
to his feet, one of which was shoe
less. "Why they've repealed that tax.
Do I look easy or something?'
The clerk sighed and the manager
wiped his brow as the angry cus

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sago Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know.'
The use of Sage and Sulphur for
rettoring faded, gray hair to it
natural color dates back to grand
mother's time. She used it to keep
her hair beatifully dark, glouy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied, with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out of date, Nowadays, by asking
st any drug store for a bottle ot
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi
tion of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the. hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You cimpty
dampen a sponjte or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two
it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
