LEAVES BULK OF ETO

Will of John Jacob Astor, Titanic Victim, Made Public—Bequests Are Conditional Former

Wife Not Mentioned.

The will of Col. John Jacob Astoi one of the wealthy Titanic victims, whose estate is valued at $150,000,000, was made public Monday evening. The will was made a few days after his second marriage and his first wife is not mentioned in the will.

The bulk of his vast estate is left to his son, Vincent Astor, who will be of age in a year. Five million dollars were left to his daughter $5,000,000 to his widow, to revert back to the estate in case she remarries or dies. She was given $100,000 unconditionally and an income of $200,000 a year until the income from her estate is available. Many bequests are made to servants and relatives, but only one, of $30,000 to a charitable institution. This is to St. Paul's school at Concord, X. H. A trust fund of $3,000,000 is created for the benefit of each child who may survive him, other than his son, Vincent, and his daughter, Muriel Astor.

ROOSEVELT CARRIED STATE OF MARYLAND

Won Majority of County Delegates —Standing is, Roosevelt 66, Taft 63, Writh 65 Necessary For the Control of State.

Almost complete returns from the first presidential primary in Maryland gives the state to Col. Roosevelt, who has 66 of the county delegates, while Taft has only 63, while 65 is necessary for control.

Unless the returns yet to come in change the result, the sixteen votes of Maryland in the National Convention will be cast for Roosevelt.

Champ Clark was victor in the Demorcatic fight in the state primary, receiving 72 of the county delegates, while Wilson received only 44, Harmon 4, leaving 9 in doubt.

The state delegates elected are bound to choose a delegation to the national convention favorable to the presidential candidates for whom the people expressed a preference by their votes Monday.

Hundreds of acres of corn will be planted in Hancok county this week if the present weather continues. It now looks like a great deal of the corn will be planted by the 20th of the month, which is not extremely late, as many do not care to plant before the 10th of May even in an early season.

Card of Thanks.

We wish to extend our thanks to our kind friends and neighbors who were so kind to us during the sickness and death of our beloved husband and father, and also to the members of the Hancock County Bar for their kindness. Mrs. Wm. F. McBane and Children. d&w

A woman who tried a new physician last week is telling all the women what a good doctor she has. The physician she struck says she must not only not do any housework herself, but must leave the house when there is any cleaning going on, as the dust and confusion might prove harmful to her.

IRRITABLE WOMEN

SHOULD DRINK BONANO

Mme. Lina Cavaliere says:— "Are you a tea or coffee drunkard? Do you blush at the wrong times and places? Are you irritable?" "Recall the excessively nervous women you have known. They have all, unless illness caused their state, been addicted to much coffee drinking or other foes to the nerves—alcohol and cigarettes." "It is the army of soldiers within us which easily become traitors. They are the nerves. "The active principle of tea is thein that of coffee is caffeine. Both are powerful poisons. It is this poison at work in a minor degree that gives you the impression that they are nerve stimulants. Caffeine is the stronger and has a more direct and powerful action on the nerve centers." "Most people drink too much coffee." "Nervous women drink too much when they drink any." If coffee is "the reason," then BO NANO is the answer. BONANO brings peace to the nerves and happiness to the home because of the quickly digested food value it contains, which nourishes and strengthens the nerves in an evenly sustained normal state. BONANO is made of a pure fruit, and contains no poisonous, stimulating drugs. .. When you think of tua and coffee, think of that dreaded disturber of the peace and hapniness of the home, "nerve storms."

When you think opBONANO, think of steady nerves, even temperament, good poise—in short, contentment. A Milwaukee doctor writes— "I am still prescribing it constantly in my practice, with the best results, especially in nervous and hyssterical women." BONANO is not a substitute, but a distinctive hot table drink. You can make BONANO in a jiffy—boil one minute. BONANO is more economical than injurious table drinks like tea, coffee, chocolate and cocoa. A 25-cent can of BONANO makes 75 large cups. \our grocer has BONANO or can easily get it and supply you—order today. Send 2-cent stamp for 10-cup sain pie and free booklet. "Nerve storms" do not happen in BONANO homes.
