SEEKS ARREST OF MARQUISE Clerk Files Extortion Charge Against Titled Woman. Bv United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—Not satisfied with filing -a slander suit demanding half of the Marquise Adelaide De Jannilli’s $2,000,000 fortune, Harold Brennan, a “cash and carry” grocery clerk, today was seeking her arrest on a charge of extortion. “My reputation and my future have been impaired and the Marquise must pay,” the $25 a week clerk declared. But when deputies carried the warrant to the Marquise’s fashionable hotel they learned what they already suspected—that the titled lady had checked out leaving no forwarding address. The widow of the late Italian ambassador to Japan—now a leader in Chicago society—ls alleged by Brennan to have accused him falsely of stealing $l,lOO worth of jewels, lost at a drinking party attended by the grocery clerk and the Marquise more than a week ago. This constituted the basis of young Brennan’s $1,000,000 slander suit. The extortion charge is based upon Brennan’s contention that the marquise forced him to sign a document promising to repay her for the lost jewelry. SERVICES WEDNESDAY John H.

Sour Stomach ‘‘Phillips Milk of Magnesia” Better than Soda '

Instead of soda hereafter take a little “Phillips Milk of Magnesia” in water any time for indigestion or sour, acid, gassy stomach, and relief will come instantly. fifty years genuine "Phillips Milk of Magnesia” has been prescribed by physicians because it overcomes three times as much acid in the stomach as a saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda, leaving the stomach sweet and free from all gases. It neutralizes acid fermentations in the bowels and gently urges the souring waste from the system without purging. Besides, it is more pleasant to take than soda. Insist upon “Phillips.’'' Twenty-five cent bottles, any drugstore.—Advertisement.
