Feels Grateful
for Many Benefits
Marley Elderson Had a Severe
Break Down?Says He Now
Feels as He Formerly Did
One sensational statement after an?
other is being made in connection with
" I"or..i Vita," the new tonic that is ac?
complishing such remarkable results in
Richmond. Mr. Marley Elderson, of
Cedar Street, had this to say recently:
"Owing to the long hours and strain
<>f my work as an electrical engineer, 1
suffered a severe breakdown about two
roars ago, both nervous and physical. I
had stomach trouble and a very much
impaired digestion.
"Reading the enthusiastic testimo?
nials of the many people who had re?
ceived such great and lasting results from
'Totia Vita,' I determined to try same.
I am happy that I did, for I now fed like
I formerly did. I wish I could tell ail alto
suffer as I did about 'Tona Vita."
"Tona Vita" is now being introduced
in Richmond by specialists, who can be
found each dav between .the hours of 9
A. M. and S P. M. at the Polk Miller
Drug Company. No. co4 East Main
Street.
{'A tired, dragging feeling of the body,
a sluggish mind aiul dull memory, de
Ipression of spirit?, nervousness, stomach
'trouble, weak back, cold feet, headaches
'and bowel troubles are among the nu
ImcrOUS symptoms of a condition from
jwhich thousands are suffering here in
(^Richmond," said one of tlicse specialists
'recently. '.'This nervous, debilitated con?
dition," continued he, "is mote common
?jit the large cities on account of the tcr
jific Ftrain of modern life. Experience
fens taught us that 95 per rent, of all
rhronic ill health is caused by this condi?
tion. Stomach trouble, constipation, kid?
ney and liver troubles, bad blood, ner?
vousness, headache, dizziness and even
rheumatism can be traced to nervous de?
bility.
ITona Vita* will remove this condi?
tion. Thousands arc now using our medi?
cine in Richmond, and in each and every
case the results arc surprising. We ajo
receiving scores of testimonials from those
wlto have been benctited by the tonic.
These testimonials come from men and
women of unnuestioned honesty and in?
tegrity, who feel grateful as a result of
having found a permanent source of
benefit.".
"Comparatively few realize what a
tremendous number of people among
those who live In the larger cities like
Richmond are afflicted with nervous de?
bility in a more or less aggravated form.
Nor does the public recognize the symp?
toms of this disease when they sec them.
' I'ona Vita' will repair all organic weak?
nesses and build n?i and restore the body
to a healthy, normal condition in an
astonishingly short space of time. There
is no better evidence of merit than that
^liirh i- shown by the testimony of those
who have actually tested a medicine,
and we arc receiving just such evidence
from scores of people who have found
JTona Vita' to be a- represented.'!

of'mothers, for husbands and wives; short stories and
long stories; a delightful visit with "Princess Pat,"
the loveliest of English princesses; editorials and ar?
ticles about books and art?just the sort of reading
for June?15 cents.
Wedding?
In June a mother's fancy turns to thougbtsof a
daughter's wedding. The June Home Wed?
ding" will be just as helpful to such a mother
as l~he June Bride's Linen Chest-" "The
Vanishing Husband," however, is for wives
whose weddings occurred several Junes ago.
Luncheons and Parties ^
Each month has its own social functions. For June
there arc suggestions ranging all the way from "Some
Appetizing Strawberry Desserts"by Fan?
nie Merritt Farmer, to somcspecial June
parties, including "A Going Abroad
Luncheon," which works in well with
Miss Gould's article on The Right
Clothes for a Short European Trip."
The Summer Vacation
If you cannot go abroad why not spend the vacation out?
doors in a portable house, such as is described in "A
Portable Vacation House.'" Another vacation idea is
"A Backyard Experience Camp." A third suggestion
is "The Fresh Air Club."
Any one of these suggestions
carried out will be worth many
times fifteen cents for your
summer enjoyment.
The Fall of the Eiffel Tower
It might be called the "Awful" Tower because the
Tower represents the great percentage of infant
mortality in the past which lias been reduced by the.
methods described?methods you can employ. It
will interest all mothers because summer is a hard
time for the baby.
And then the Children
There are more Kcwpies, more Jack-and-Betty Adven?
tures, Prizes for Young People, and a two-part story for
girls, called "Martha," by Eunice
Farland. There is also a fine picture
ready for framing, by a special new
German process ? the equivalent
of a costly engraving.

[Special to The Tlmes-Plspatch.]
New hern, aMj 21.Sheriff J. W. Bld
dle received a ttlegium lato this at
teriioon from the chief of police at
Omaha, Nebraska, which stated thm
Harold T. Pratt, who tor several years
was i he representative in this city of
several large insurance companies,
but who ii few months ago left unex?
pectedly ?after having committed var?
ious offences, had been upprehenuod In
that city and was being held pending
instructions from the local authori?
ties.
Up to a few weeks prior to the time
that Pratt left the city he was held
in esteem by all who knew htm. Rep?
resenting several of the largest in?
surance companies in the United state-,
he huil full control of their business
In this State. In some way they be
enme aware of the ?xlstlng conditions,
and several companies he represented
took the agency away from him. From
that time on Pratt went at things In
a whirlwind fashion. He tilled the
city with worthless checks, borrowed
money and gave worthless mortgages,
and finally forged a leading attor?
ney's signature to a note fur J3.10.
This he carried to a local banking In?
stitution and succeeded In having it
d'scounted and securing the. money.
That iiiKht he left the city, und de?
spite all efforts on the part of the
local police and the detectives put
on his track by the Rankers' Detec?
tives' Association, succeeded In elud?
ing arrest until to-day. A deputy will
bo s^nt after Pratl, nnd he will ho
brought hock to Newbern and placed
on trial, probably at the next term
