(SWINDLED OUT ' OF $1,300 BY A MAN WITH ‘ROLL’ Washington Street GroGives Real Money for Fake Greenbacks. Joseph Miskowiz, 003 West Washington street, today asked the police to find a smooth-talking, well-dressed stranger whom he gave $1,300 for a $1 bill and a lot of fake greenbacks. The stranger called at Miskowiz's place j esterday afternoon. • He said his name was “John” —never mind the last name, he said glibly—and that be wanted to buy the store and start right in selling groceries as he knew the business. FLASHES QUITE SOME "BANKROLL..” The stranger's businesslike manner impressed Miskowiz. He offered to buy the store and before paying for it started serving customers. “John” had nothing but bills of large ■'enojplnations and he was forced to Joorow S4O in change w ith which to conduct business. Then "John” explained to Miskowiz (hat he would be pleased if Miskowiz would change the bills of large denominations into smaller bills. JIST LIKE ON THE STAGE. Miskowiz had only $1,300. all in twenty dollar biils. at the store, but “John” said that would "help some,” and Miskowiz gave the new grocery keeper the money. “John” counted out the same amount in large bills, wrapped them in a piece of paper and gave them to Miskowiz, who pinned them inside of his vest. Several hours later Miskowiz unpinned the paper and opened the roll, discovering that there was a one-dollar bill wrapped around a roll of blank paper cut the same size as the one-dollar bill.
Tells Police Bogus Solicitors at Work Brig. L. M. Simonsbn of the Salvation •Unr today issued a warning that five persons were soliciting funds for “the army - ’ who have no right to do so. The police were asked to search for the solicitors who, Brig. Simonson declares. wear uniforms and who. he says, are taking advantage of the present drive for funds being made by the Salvation Army.

TOO WEAK TO WALK CLIMBING STAIRS EXHAUSTED HIM Terre Haute butcher contracted rheumatism, catarrh and a bad cough from getting his feet wet so often. Was unable to work regularly. Although he tried many medicines, he claims he did not improve until he took Dreco, the new herbal remedy. Mr. John C. Markin, who lives on Flint street. North Terre Haute, Ind., relates the following experience: “I am a butcher, and in following my trade it is often necessary to stand on the wet pens. In this manner I caught tcold, which developed into catarrh of the head and throat; I became all crippled up with rheumatism; had soreness and pajns all over my body; severe headaches, earache. I took a number of different medicines in the hope of overcoming these troubles, but It seemed like I was getting worse instead of better ■untfVl got so I could hardly hear at all. Imy sense of taste and smell, my Iprroat felt like a piece of raw beef, my cough kept me from sleeping; my kidneys were weak and I could not walk far without getting out of breath. “Ciimbing stairs or a hill was out of the question. I was so nervous I jumped at every little noise; was so sore and stiff in the morning I bad to hold on to the ‘ bed in order to get up. “About three weeks ago I started on Dreco, as it bad been strongly recommended to me and I feel so happy to think that I have at last found something to- overcome my ailments. Why I feel like a, colt, full of pep and vitality. I wish everybody could know of the wonderful benefit I have received from this splendid medicine.” Mr. Williamson, the well-known Dreco expert, has headquarters at Claypool Drug Cos., to meet the local public and explain the merits of this great remedy.
