NEW MALT IS UNPALATABLE (CO A TIMED FROM PAGE ONE! til the truck drove up to the door. Dr S. C. Russell, prominent physician here and formerly a druggist, took a drink, of the tonic and remarked It was very much similar to that which he sold in his drug »tore here 25 years ago. Dr. T. J. Howard, another promin- . ent physician, also was given a drink I ami declared, "The nutritive value is exceptionally high and it is a good . tonic from that standpoint.’’ I Asked whether he would prescribe the tonic for his convalescing patients, he said, "1 cetrainly will. The sugar taste in the tonic te very noticeable, however ,and lof taken in large quantities would certainly cause .nausea. A lot of people are going to get sick trying to drink too much of it. 1 believe. The tonic will certainly never be used as a beverage due to its high quantity of sugar solids." j "Mighty good medicine," declared John Morgenroth, former saloonkeeper and prominent sportsman here, as he drained a small glass and then puckered up as though he had eaten a green persimmon. “It's foolish Jo even think the tonic can be used as a beverage. It is a fine tonic, at least H should be, but it doesn't even re- , semble the old beer." Dr. J. F. Mueller of the Deaconess t Hospital here, joined with others, as- ( ter sampling the tonic, saying it will ' 1,0 an excellent appetizer and should be a wonderful aid for convalescing I persons. “A wine glass, however," he said, “will be sufficient for any one,

1 believe." Ij The tonic is that which the govern- ! ment recently gave the Pabst Brew- ■ ing Company of this city and the An- . heuser Busch Brewing Company, of 1 ! St. Louis permission to manufacture I and distribute. i I -o ARCH BANDIT IS TO HANG EARLY i NEXT TUESDAYi| (lOVI’IM ED FROM I'AGH OM'D || held a separate conference after I which it was announced that a re-|| quest for an immedate hearing would not be granted Under the law, a motion has to be filed ami in this case would not be heard until May, unless the legal for-! , malities were waived. Chapman is ’ scheduled to hang early Tuesday. A half dozen witnesses the defense had gathered recently, waited in the potridor of the court house ail morning to be examined by the judges, but they were not called. Connecticut State I’rson, Wethersfield,. Conn., April 3.—(United Press) J —Gerald Chapman, the span of his I life now measured in hours, has begun to lose calm, confident manner that characterized his long career of banditry. The condemned man is brooding and into his eyes has come a look of melancholy—inspired, one believes, by thoughts of a woman. The guards who watch the arch-ban-dit constantly, say that Chapman is less and less interested in the desperate battle for his life that atorneys are waging three miles away in Hartford and is reviewing the hectic past, dwelling particularly upon his affair with a formed "Main Street” girl from Indiana. The girl, known variously as Betty Colwell, Betty Hates and Mrs. ‘Beeswax” now said to be safely married to a ptosperous Providence merchant, controlled the bandit’s destiny for some years, it was disclosed. However, the witness from Providence is not | Betty as she now shuns Chapman to protect the new life she has erected )

on the ashes of the old, it was luarned. It was this girl, hounded by fear that Chapman would betray her to her husband and the new world she had found, who neiped to betray him when he was captured in Indiana af-' ter his sensational escape fram Atlanta, She has not communicated with the bandit and will not visit him be-1 fore ills execution, in spite of his desire to see her, it was said. Chapman met. and won Betty in New i York while posing as a wealthy and cultured gentleman. They lived to-; tether as Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Colwell in Gramercy Park and were popular in Greenwich Village circles, until his arrest for the |3,000,000 Leon-: ard street mail robbery. Betty was arrested also but police learned that she knew nothing of the ■ robbery and did not even know her ■ ( lover was a criminal, so she was re- ' leased and dropped from sight. For a • long time, however, Chapman had her act as his banker, even after she 1 married and went to live in Provi- ■ dence. i It was through his notes acknow- ' ledging receipt of money that his con--1 nection with her was traced. Toth > between loyalty to her former lover i and her desire to continue her new t life, Betty broke down and gave police ■- the clue which finally led to Chapman's capture. s O I Indianapolis. — Delbert O.

The boy or girl is put to bed in a darkened room and the disease is allowed to run its course, without a quarantine on the residence. During the summer months. x Dr. King pointed out, the measles germs will lie dormant but when the fam- ! Hies go back in doors in the fall, and school opens, the germs will begin to breed again. y Then the outbreak will re-occur. "The disease will not be halted un- ' til it has used up all its available material," the health board head declared.
