Had Isaac Roberts yielded to the premonition of death tliat came to him a fe wdays H before he was killed as the result of a fall from a scaffold at the Beech Orovel shops of the Big Four Railroad, Tuesday, his wife and five children would not be facing the .. world today with Jg 'no m e “ 8 of * . support.

But there could be no quitting of the job for Roberts. Fot almost two jejirs he had been unable to work on account of illness. Today Mrs. Julia Roberts faces the*problem of how to support the three girls and two boys, whose ages run from three apd one-half months to fifteen years.

feeling came with age. My appetite was very poop, I had pains now and then, and like many other people afflicted as I was, I tried many socalled cures. I waff approached in a very polite manner by a demonstrator In Haag’s store and asked to try a bottle of Todd’s Tonic. I tried it, and it certainly showed remarkable results from the first bottle. I began to feel better, sleep Lettei. eat better, and got back my old military walk. I ftel like a young man. It is as if I had started life anew. I believe in giving just credit to Todd's Tonic. It certainly feels good to feel so young at the age of 73." W. A. POWELL, 1621 Oemmer St., Indianapolis. Ind., G. A. R. Todd’s Tonic, with its wine-like flavor, is pleasant to take. For sale at all

TOWN OF DESOTO MASSOFEMBERS Buildings Leveled and People Search for Loved Ones. Bu United Press DUQUOItf, 111., March 19.—De Soto today is a mass of charx'ert debris, its buildings leveled and its people fradically searching for missing relatives and friends. <Dnly five buildings remain standing. % Crowds of rescues workers surged into the city last 'night and hastily transformed the fire storm swept city into. a tept city, despite the intermittent blazes which cropped up In the shells of former homes and business houses. The tents today are serving as first a>d stations as rescue workers, working on improvised medical tables, administer first aid to the wounded. Yesterday the town was a thriving place of 800 population. Today it is reduced to a mass of twisted wreckage, much of which has been burned to ashes. Guardsmen from Carbon&ale patrol the city, bayonets flashing, to prevent looting. For the most part the people here have quieted down after a frenzied afternoon and night. SHAW WITNESSES CALLED BY REMY Preparations Made for Second Murder Trial, All State witnesses in the first trial of John Thomas Shaw, colored, charged with m..rder of Mrs. Helen Whelchel, Nov. *B, 1923, were called upon to g-esent themselves at the office of Prosecutor William H. Remy at 2 p m. today. State Su preme Court Wednesday granted Shaw, who was sentenced to death, anew trial. Preparations for the second trial are being made by Remy. No steps toward setting the trial date will be taken until Criminal Judge James A. Collins, who Is 111, returns to the bench, probably next week; One of the grounds of reversing the verdict of the lower court was that Judge Collins refused to grant Shaw a change of venue. The next trial probably wil Hake place in an adjoining county.
