WOMAN KILLED BY FIEND
TRAMP IS SUSPECTED.
Body, Badly Battered. Found at
Leicester, Mass.
L«lcester, Mass., Nov. 2(».— Bruised and bat
tered by fierce blows, with the face unrecog;
nizable, the skull fractured and six ri! I broken.
the body of Mrs. Emm« Richards Brigham, re
ported missing from her home in Plne-st. last
night, was round to-day In the alder swamp In
the rear of htr home. Fierce was the struggle
between a frail woman and her fiendish an
taconisi, If the mule Btory of trampled leaves
and scattered hemlock branches can be believed.
A tramp who eiopped at the Brlgham house
two nights in September is suspected of being
the muiderer. His description, as given by the
aged mocber of the murdered woman, tallies
with that of Üba tramp seen in Leicester yester
day and to-day. He left Leicester in September
with a blue shirt and gold pen. stolen from
Mrs Brlghatn'a houfe.
Three tramrs are held nt Pper.ce-r aa puspects.
"When the State police arrived In Leicester to
day, they in.mcdiatf-ly informed tsurroundiiig
towr.F to bold all Busplcloua persons, and Dep

I'atrick J. Ptanton. of New-York; Thomas Court
ney, of Springfield, and Georgu Rivet, of Bur
lington. Vt.. ai>d they will be held for investiga
t-or.
No motive for the crime Is known. The first
theory that i=he bad b*-en robbed is not borne out
by Investigation, for a clo.«e examination of her
clothing does not reveal any 6lgn of robbery.
Her mother, Mrs. J;i;:e M. Richards, told the
• officers that abe auppaeed her daughter hart $30
with her when she left the house.
The weaion with which the crime was com
mitted lias not been found. The body was ap
parently dragjred fifty yards from the place of
the munif r and hidden under branches of trees
ard crust.- of *now.
A tramp s«=en in Leicester this morning, who

forty-five years old, five feet eight inches tall,
weighs two hundred rounds, dark eoinplexiorv,
red face, two weeks' beard, dark soft hat and

STATE CANALS OFFICIALLY CLOSED.
Date Unusually Early— Water To Be Drawn
Tuesday.
Albany. Nov. 2«.— The canals of the State close
officially to-nlph:. As usual, the Superintendent of
Public Works ha» granted special permits to boats
now on the way to reach tldewatr-r, and f r this
reason water will not be, drawn from the levels
until November 29.
This date Is one of tho earliest on record for
closing the canals: only three times In Its history
has the closing date been earlier. Ir "BSO Ice closed
the canals on November SI, and the "tflcial closing
was on November 2." ta I?3S, and 1546, but never
earlier than that. Last year the date of closing
was November 30.
The seabon has had a number of drawbacks
which reduced the tonnage to a considerable ex
tent, »'ut toward the latter part of the season
navigation was better, and the showing for the
ytar will be more favorable than was at first an
ticipated. The strike on the vessels operating on
the Gr*-at Lakes, which began early ln tho ?ijn^.g:
and .■:tir.ued for several months, was responsible
for the falling In cj.nal trame. l! practically
prevented all shipments from the West via the
lak*s during its duration.
The early closing Is expected to a ford oppor
tunity for prepnratir,::?: for starting the work or.
t"he barge can; I, which will be begun soon after
th<» npeninK of the new year. The Erie and Cham
plain canals will b>'. utilised for navigation until

earliest.

FOOD VALUE OF RICE.
ITS HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS
Science Supports All Claims Made
for It.
in.
In the last number of this series It was promised
that evidence would ba piven to support the asser
tion that rise easily surpasses in food vnlue the
various foods in common use; (1) because It Is only
execedea in fuel value by 6ugar; (2) Is wholly
dlgcs'ej In much less time than any of th«r other
foods; (8) combines admirably with all of them,
and (4» Is cheaper per unit of value.
Before presenting this evidence, a table of value,
which for convenience is compiled from a (partially
f?raph!c) chart appearing in Atrvnter's "Chemistry
and Economy of Food," it is perhaps necessary to
interpret the "calorie," which Is given as the ac
cepted measure of fuel value, and thl? cannot be
tlnne more simply and lucidly than in the words of
that eminent authority of the United States 'De
partment of Agriculture, especially In charge of
nutrition Investigation:
"The amount of heat {riven off in the oxidation of
a given quantity of any material Is called its 'heat
of comtustlon.' and Is taken as a measure of Its
latent, or potential, energy. The unit commonly
used is the calorie, the amount of heat which would
raise the n-mporature of one kilogram of water
1 degree Centigrade, or what Is nearly the same
thing, one pound of water 4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Instead of this unit of heat, a unit of mechanical
energy may be used; for Instance, the foot-ton,
which represents the force required to raise ono
ton one foot. One calorie is equal to very nearly
1.54 foot- tons— that is to say. 1 calorie of heat, when
transformed into mechanlcai power, would suffice
to lift 1 ton l.vi feet. '

So -n-p ask you to lot us buy you a bottle— a full

Tills offer Itself should convince you that
Liquozoue does as we claim. We would < er
tfiinly not buy a bottle and j;1v« it to you if
there was any doubt of results. You want
those results; you want to be well and to keep
well. And you can't do that— nobody can
without Liquozone.
We Paid $100,000
For the American rijrhta to Liquozone. We
did this after testing the product for two years,
through physicians and hospitals, after prov

zone destroys the cause of any j;erm disease.
Liquozone has. for more than 20 years, been
the constant subject of scientific and chemical
research. It is not made by compounding drugs
nor with alcohol. Its virtues are derived solely
from gas— largely oxygen gas— by a process
requiring immense apparatus and 14 days' time.
The result is a Liquid that does what oxygen
does. It is a nerve food and blood food— the

FLAMES THREATEN SIASCONSET.
Acton' Summer Cottages in Danger from
Moor Fire.
Nantucket. Mass.. Nov. 26.— Fanned by a stror.c
northwest wind, a fierce fire which has been rag
ing on the moors for twenty-four hours approached
this evening and endangered the village of Slascon
set, on the eastern end of the Island. When the
flames reached a point about a mile north of the
village a large body of men left Slaaconset to re-
I tard. lf possible, their further progresa.
At dark It did not appear that the efforts of the
fire fighters had met with puecesti, although after
; sunset the wind diminished In force, and it was
i then believed that the lar.es couM be '•or.trolled
before reaching the village. It :s thought that the
fire wab originally started accidentally by some
sportsmen. Th< village of Slasconset his no fire
apparatus. In tne village are many summer cot
tages, owned princlp«lly by well known actors.
BANK CLOSED; OFFICERS GONE.
O'Neill, Neb., Nov. 26.— Ellchorn Valley Bank
failed to open for business yesterday, and Its
president and the cashier could not be four.d In the
city. The affcJrs of the b»nk # accordlnc to a
statement given to th»- press by the wife of Ber
nard McGreevy, president of the bank, are l n a
bad condition. McQreevys statement say? that
he owned no stock In the bank, although $3,000 of
the stock, for which he n«ver paid, stood ir. his
name. He »ay» he was e.iiploytd as preuld»»nt at

effects are exhilarating, vitalizing, purifying.
Yet it is a germicide so certain that we publish
on every bottle an oiler of $1,000 for a disease
germ that it cnnnot kill. The reason Is that
germs arc vegetables; and Liquozone-like an
excess of oxygen— is deadly to vegetal matter.
There lies the great value of Liquozone. It
is the only way known to kill germs in the
body without killing the tissuf, too. Any drug
that kills genu is a poison, sad it cannot bo
taken internally. Every physi.ian knows that
medicine is almost helpless in any germ dis
ease.
Germ Diseases. ,
These are the known germ diseases. All that
medicine can do for these troubles is to help
Nature overcome the germs, and such results
are iudirect and uncertain. Liquozone attack-;
the perms, wherever they are. And when the
perms which cause a disease are destroyed, the
disease must end and forever. That is inevi
table.
