Case as a “menace to sacred homes,” Albert E. Lelland, who named the pastor as co-respondent in his suit for divorce today demanded Dr. Case be driven from the ministry. “I consider it my duty to my faith as a Christian and creed as a Baptist to drive such men as Dr. Case out of the church,” Lelland declared. “He must not be given another chance to do to other men and women what he has dtsne to me and my wife.”

Lelland, who told through tears of his wife’s confession, accused the deacons of the First Baptist Church of a plot to "whitewash” the pastor of complicity In his wife’s misconduct. He charged they tried to “bribe” him to say his wife was Insane. Calm and imperturbable, Mrs. Lelland waits to go on the stand. She is held up by her belief "God has me by His hand. He will hot desert me In time of adversity." Head Is Bowed A plain little woman, modestly dressed, she sits with bowed head before the gaze of the crowded court room waiting her turn to take the stand. She will admit with willingness, she said, she broke her marriage vows in order of the Rev. Case, whom she says is ‘‘equally guilty,” will suffer equally. Close by her side sits her 17-year-olds son, almost hopelessly puzzled by the strange drama in which his father and mother are chief characters. Across the table site the Rev. Case. He Is well past middle age. Slightly deaf, he holds a small trumpet to his ear and strains to catch every word spoken. His wife, who has declared her confidence In her pastor-husband sits defiantly by his side. Around the pastoral family, crowded closely in the small courtroom, stand the deacons and elders of the church. The official church board, w hich has voted “complete confidence” in the pastor, listens attentively to the testimony. Mrs. Lelland will be asked to testify today. She "ill be asked'-to confirm or repudiate her confession of niisconduct with the pastor. Sound In Mind While attorneys for Rev. Case are expected to endeavor to prove the

DULECT TREATMENT l J''' I COLD TROUBLE* Rub It On For Deep Chest Colds ABSORBED like a liniment and at the same time INHALED as a vapor, Vicks gets immediately into congested, inflamed air passages

Never neglect a chest cold. If allowed to “hang on" it means lung tissue weakened, air passages predisposed to infection. There is then danger of pneumonia and pneumonia is now more deadly than tuberculosis. When a cold goes down deep, with soreness, tight breathing and a heavy, hollow cough, apply hot wet towels over throat and chest to open the pores of the skin. Massage briskly with Vicks for five minutes, then spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the bedclothing loose about the neck so that the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the affected pans. At the same time, the penetrative and stimulative effect of Vicks through the skin increases the circulation of the blood throughout the chest region, and thus helps to relieve the tightness and congestion.

For Spasmodic Croup, Children’s Colds Rub Vicks over the throat and chest until the difficult breathing is relieved, then spread on thickly and cover with a hot flannel cloth. One application at bedtime usually prevents a night attack of croup. For Head Colds, Asthma, Catarrh, Hay Fever *—Vicks should be melted in a spoon and the vapors inhaled, or a little can be applied up the nostrils aad saufied well back up the head.
