Slake Investigations.
Chicago. I1L. Oct 22. Mrs. Julia Ro
senwald, wife of a millionaire philan
thropist, is the recipient of a letter the

posed to mysterious disease germs, ac
cording to chief postal inspector Stuart

"was similar to one received by Mrs.
Frederick M. Steele, a wealthy woman
of Highland Park. It asserted thai the
letter would develop 2.000.000 germs
and cause a disease only to be cured by
the sender of the letter, who demanded
$25,009- A third letter was sent to a
wealthy Scuth Side woman, whose name

Woman Is As Old As
Site Looks
No woman wants to look old. Many in their
effort to look youthful resort to the "beauty doctor's"
prescriptions. Their mistake is that they visit the
wrong department in the drug- store.
Beauty depends upon health.
Worry, sleepless nights, headaches, pains, dis
orders, irregularities and weaknesses of a distinctly
feminine character in a short time bring the dull eye,
the "crow's feet," the haggard look, drooping shoulders,
and the faltering step.
To retain the appearance of youth you must
retain health. Instead of lotions, powders and paints,
' ask your druggist for
Hi 1-HiMWda'e Favorite
IJl JTItBiWc Prescription
This famous medicine strikes at the very root
of these enemies of your youthful appearance. It
makes you not only look young, but feel young.
Your druggist can supply you in liquid or
tablet form; or send 50 one-cent stamps to Dr.
Pierce's Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N.Y. and a trial box will be mailed yon.
Injects Tobacco Juice in
Arm as Substitute For
Cocaine; Dies in Prison
Jim Welsh, alias J. J. Clark, aged
about 30 years, Tuesday night scratched
his left arm with a safety pin, filling
the wound with tobacco juice as a sub
stitute for cocaine Wednesday morn
ing at 10 oclock he died in the run
around of the city jail, with symptoms
of lockjaw. Before his death, the man
was suffering excruciating pain with
his arm. He kept pacing the stone
floor of the jail until convulsions seized
him, rendering him unconscious, death
resulting shortly afterwards.
Tne left arm of John Hubbard, also
one of the city prisoners, who, with
Welsh, underwent the same treatment,
is in a critical condition. His arm is
considerably swollen and discolored.
Wednesday morning, shortly after the
death of Welsh. Hubbard was taken
into the room In the emergency hos
pital at the police station, where he
was given medical attention.
AVhile Welsh was well known In po
lice circles, his name having been on
the police docket a number of times,
where he originated from, when he
came to El Paso, or if he has any liv
ing relatives, is not-known.
Beginning about six years ago. Welsh
first made his appearance In the local
police court. Since that time to the
present, his entrances and exits at the
station have been frequent. At the
time of his death he was serving out a
60-day sentence on a charge of vagran
cy. He had served 12 days, when, he
died. For a number of years, the po
lice say. Welsh had been addicted to
the use of morphine, cocaine and other
drugs. The craving for drtyi, after
having been deprived of It. is believed
to have been responsible for his em
ploying the safety pin and tobacco
juice. The juice was obtained by melt
ing chewing tobacco in the tin cup fur

Would Reduce Reserve Banks.
Victor Morawitz, of New York, who
championed the currency measure,
completed his testimony before the sen
ate committee yesterday and Alexander
Gilbert, president of the Fulton Mar
ket bank of New York, took the stand.
Both urged the reduction of the num
ber of. federal reserve banks fixed by
the bill at 12.
Mr. Gilbert presented a table show
ing the resources available for the or
ganization of six regional banks, to be
located in New England, the eastern
states, the south, the Mississippi val
ley, central west and the Pacific coast.
He urged that the bill be amended to
allow the banks representation on the
federal reserve board. To avoid strin
gency, which he said, would follow
shifting the bank capital and deposits
to the proposed federal reserve banks,
he proposed that this shifting be done
gradually, in small instalments.
