For the first time in six years, Mr. Chris Anders, 10116 Joe St., Huntington, Ind., is enjoying good bca'th. In explaining Ills prompt recovery from a painful illness, he writes: “I had such constant agony after meals that 1 often wished I never had to eat. Gas formed, and my stomach would bloat and pain terribly. Also, I was subject to frequent bilious attacks and bad headaches. I could not sleep good at night because my kidneys were weak and got me up several times. My back ached dreadfully all the time. Weakness, dizzy spells, nervousness and constipation all added more misery. I tried so many remedies without success that I almost despaired. At last, I heard about Vitina and gave it a trial. Relief came almost at once and I have Improved steadily ever since. Now I eujoy hearty meals and am rid of t lie stomach gas, biliousness and bloating. The back-ache *is gone and my kidneys are so much better that my sleep is rarely disturbed. I am free of the weak, dizzy spells and my bowels are normal. Vitina did ms ed much good that 1 want others to know about this wonder medicine. It surely is a sick person's best friend." There must be sothething different. something truly wonderful about a medicine which has promptly ended so many severe | cases of back ache, stom ac h ■ trouble, kidney pains and rheumatism.

I). B. Erwin on North Second street. O'Neil was born in New York City in 1888, and spent his early life near the theatre on Broadway where many of his plays were later enacted and where "Strange Interlude” made its appearance. His mother died when he was but seven years of age and his father was the famous James O'Neil who made the "Count of Monte Cristo” famous. Eugene entered Princeton College but was expelled at the age of seventeen and from that time led a wayward and dissipated life, travelling over all the world. When he contracted tuberculosis he entered a sanitarium and it was there he had time to think and make his plans for his life. When he became well he entered Harvard College studying dramatics and play writing, and he started then to write plays. Twenty-two of his dramatic works have been produced and the first of his plays to mark his fame was “The Fountain” which deals with the story of Ponce de I>eon. This play was judged the best play of the year and Eugene received the prize given for it. Ho is also noted for "Strange Interlude,” and “Dynamo.” At the present time he makes his home on the New England coast in an abandoned life-saving shack, and he writes mostly of the sea.

POLICE KILL TWO BANDITS Chicago Detective Also Slain in Early Morning Gun Battle Chicago, Jan. 14 —<U.R) — Police trapped three Irandlts in the darkened corridor of a west side duplex apartment early today, opened fire with pistols and shotguns in the narrow quarters, killed two of the robliers, captured the third and lost one of their own number. Warned by a buzzer signal, the detective squad surprised the bandits as they poked pistols into the ribs of Harry Suchennan, rich sausage company official, trying to force him to open a wall safe. The three bandits slashed a panel from lhe door of the Sucherman apartment just before dawn, entered, roused Sucherman from bed and demanded that lie open a wall safe containing a quantity of jewelry and money. Through a previous arrangement witli Ids brother, Nate, who lives in tlie apartment above, Sucherman pressed a hidden buzzer and the brother called police. While the bandits flourished automatic pistols in Suchennan's face, a detective squad arrived and its members surrounded the house, entering from front and rear at the same time. Detective Jeremiah Murphy, one of the attackers from the rear, fell shot to death in the first few volleys. One of the bandits, later identified as R. Holtzman, was killed in the hallway and another, Sam Wolfe, died on the way to the Bridewell hospital. Sam Wasserman, who police said is wanted in Detroit, ran upstairs after the shooting, closely followed by the police. They caught him and threw him through a window into the arms of the squad outside. Six Sucherman brothers live in the apartment house and had arranged some time ago the buzzer system of intercommunication in case bandits tried to raid their safes. o Miss Marcella Hower, who has spent the holidays visiting with her parents in this city, returned to Indianapolis, where she teaches in the public schools.

MANY DECATUR BASEMENTS ARE FLOODED TODAY (CONTINUEd"fr6m PAGE ONE) county since the 1913 flood and in some places the water i-s higher, than it was at that time. Several Mishaps A nuhther of accidents have been reported as a result of many of the roads being under water. Dtw of the most serious occurred last evening when Jeff Mosure, driving a truck, went into tihe river just north of Willshire. Mr. Mosure managed to get out but his truck was stuck anl efforts to get it out last night were futile. Several cars were swept from the roads east of here und south of here, it was reported but on the state roads a truck is kep< near the places where the water is over the road to assist those who need it. Flood at Peak Vincennes, Jan. 14 —<U.R) — An anticlimax to "old man river's treacherous flood drama reached Vincennes today as the Wabash river fell to 22.8 feet after a levee break last night released flood waters over an additional 20,000 acres of Knox county farm lands, but the real ending was yet unknown as the river crept slowly upward toward yesterday's dangerous level. For the present all grave danger from further inundation caused by dike breaks was over, but the roaring torrent was creeping upward again today as water that fell in general rains over Indiana and the Wabash valley last night swept downstream. A weuthre bureau forecast of a cold wave setting in late today was not expected to relieve the situation. 'J. H. Armington, U. S. weather bureau meteorologist said the rivers and streams were so overburdened with flood watera that the rise probably would continue to unestimatable levels. The cold wave probably will bring to an end the continued raine that have fallen for several days, but snow is predicted for the next 24 hours. After falling to 22.8 feet, the Wabash river at Vincennes started upward once more and had reached 23.4 feet at mid-forenoon today. There was no indication of a check in the rise. ,—o Henry B. Heller attended to business of a legal nature at Berne last evening.
