INDIANA PRISON LIFER, 80, MAY BE FREE SOON Effort Being Made to Obtain Release of Henry Romine. Bu United rress Michigan city, ind., Jan. u.— Although a life prisoner in the Michigan City State prison, Henry Romine, 80, has been paroled thirteen times and permitted to leave the State a guard or other restraint except his promise to return. Romine, only Civil War veteran serving a sentence in any penitentiary in the United States, was in Erie, Pa., today on his thirteenth parole, visiting a daughter, Mrs. Mary Moore, who is ill. Fifteen years ago, Romine was involved in a barroom brawl at Columbus, Ind., in which a bartender was slain. Three men implicated with him turned State’s evidence and gave circumstantial evidence that convicted Romine. He was sentenced to life. At G. A. R. Meeting Romine was not permitted out of the prison for eight years. But seven years ago, he was paroled without a guard so he could attend a Grand Army of the Republic convention. This parole has become an annual fixture. Romine has been released every year for the annual G. A. R. reunion. Illness among some of his nine children also has obtained temporary freedom for him. Once he was paroled sixty days. Liked by Warden The aged veteran is a great favorite of Warden Walter H. Daly. Prison officials obtained for him a tailored G. A. R. uniform to be worn at the annual reunions. The prisoner’s war record will be cited in urging that he be pardoned. He served with an Ohio company of volunteers in the Civil War and distinguished himself at the battle of Kenesaw Mountain. Relatives of the slain bartender whose name does not appear on State records in this late day have protested heretofore against Romine’s pardon, but this time it is expected to be granted.

TELLS INCIDENT OF 50 YEARS AGO Texan’s Story of How He Came To Adopt BlackDraught As His Favorite Home Remedy for Indigestion. Mrs. J. C. McAnally, who lives ar Anna, Texas, says: “In 1877 and 1878, I had typhoid, id after this I was in an awful bad c; not able to work. I would eat, id eat so much, then would have idigestion. My system was clogged ,nd I would feel just awfully bad. “My brother-in-law came to see me, and I told him what a miserable fix I was in, just feeling so bad, dragging around, and he told me of Black-Draught. ‘I believe this was the first time I used it. I know I used it from then on to now. I remember the date, because it was the winter before I came to Texas, in Februory, 1878, and Black-Draught has been my medicine ever since. It is a good purgative. It gives relief. “If I have smothering after meals, or a disagreeable feeling, BlackDraught relieves this. I am never without it. I don’t suppose my house has been without it more than a month since I began its use. I carry it ip a little box in my pocket, and take a little pinch during the day, if I have the least disagreeable feeling, and it does me good.” Sold everywhere: 25 doses, 25 cents.

Congress Fails to ‘Pass’ Book of A l Smith’s Life

Twelve Buy Copy, But 75 Ask for Free Copies at Bookstores. . BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—“ Governor Smith,” said an impetuous young girl on her first meeting with New York’s famous executive, “is it true that you don’t read books?” “No,” retorted Al. “I have read the "Life and Battles of John L. Sullivan’ from cover to cover.” But it is a fact that Governor Smith is not a bookworm. Which gives a touch of irony to the following story of how politicians have shown little interest in a book about one of the most-talked-of meii in public life today. In planning the sales campaign of Henry F. Pringle’s “Life of Al Smith,” the author’s publishers sent aimouncements to at least 1,000 politicians who, it was assumed, would like to know more about the Democrats’ possible presidential nominee. The list included 531 members of House and Senate, 200 members of the New York Legislature and about

In many cases this is unnecessary because young girls —as well as older women can be strengthened by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Girls suffering from run-down condition, sleeplessness, nervousness, and loss of appetite, should gain new strength and vigor from this Vegetable Compound. The following testimonials show what the Compound has done for other

At last she was so bad off that she wais out of school for four months. The Vegetable Compound has improved her in every way and she has gone back to school. I recommend the Vegetable Compound to other mothers with girls who are not as strong as they should be.” Mrs. Alice Louthan, Route 2, Charleston, Illinois.

There was some curiosity evidenced by about seventy-five members of Congress, however. They walked into one of the capital's leading bookshops and asked for “free copies.” BELIEVE LOCAL MAN OWN REVENGE VICTIM Franklin County Authorities Advance Theory in Koetter’s Death.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SENATE WAR IS PREDICTED IN PROBEJF S-4 Upper House Is Jealous of Its Rights to Inquire Into Disaster. BY ROBERT TALLEY WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—President Coolidge’s request for a special board to investigate the S-4 disaster and form general recommendations for submarine safety will come under fire again Thursday morning, when the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs resumes consideration of the joint resolution for the board’s creation. The measure already has been passed by the House, but Senate Democrats jealously are guarding the Senate’s own right to investigate the disaster, instead of relinquishing the job to others. Those opposing the President’s plan appear slated to lose, the echo of their fight probably being heard in some fiery oratory on the Senate floor. Opposition was voiced at Monday’s committee meeting by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, and Senator Swanson of Virginia. Joining with his Democratic colleagues in refusing to delegate the S-4 investigation to another agency, Senator King, Utah, proposed that the Senate committee investigate all naval disasters within the last two years and try to get at the causes. King also urged a general investi-

Salesman For Face Cream Learns a Good Lesson Mr. Vandivier, New York, writes: “I was a salesman of creams for healing pimples, blemishes, etc., but when my face broke out with blotches, pimples and blackheads, I tried one salve after another with no results. Finally I decided I would have to get at the cause —constipation. I was amazed to find that within a few days after taking your vegetable laxative pills for constipation my skin took on anew healthy look.” CARTER’S LITTLE LIVER PILLS All druggists—2sc and 75c red pkgs.
