nally drawing the head forward. The operation was performed by Dr. Clark, of Hahnemann hospital, and was one of the largest skin grafts ever undertaken in that hospital.

In sickness, if a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ I that this nerve controls will also [surely fall. It may be a Stomach I nerve, or it may have given strength and support to the Heart or Kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that first pointed out this vital truth, Dr Shoop’s Restorative was not made to dose the Stomach nor to temporarily stimulate the Heart or Kidneys That old-fashioned method Is all wrong Dr. Shoop’s Restoritlve goes directly to these falling inside nerves. The remarkable success of this prescription demonstrates the wisdom of treating the actual cause of these falling organs. And It Is Indeed easy to prove. A simple five or ten days test will surely tell. Deallis OnCe ' Bee!

COSTLY GOWNS , OF MRS. COULD

Says She Was Promised Sam of SIO,OOO a Month. HUSBAND’S OFFER TO WIFE Elijah Salls* Deposition States Terms of Reooncllatlon—One Was That Mrs. Gould Should Abstain from Intoxicants—Another Was to Agree to a Regulation of Her Finances—Mrs. Gould Questioned as to Her Meetings with Dustin Farnum. New York, June 15.—50 large a crowd gathered at the county court to attend the trial of the suit for separation of Katherine Clemmons Gould against Howard Gould that special police measures were necessary to preserve order. Delaney Nlcoll, attorney for Mr. Gould, read from the deposition of Elijah Sells, Mrs. Gould’s cousin, In which he stated the conditions upon which Gonld offered a reconciliation

with his wife. The conditions were that Mrs-. Gould was not to interfere in the management of Castl§ Gould; she was to abstain from intoxicants; to refrain from humiliating Mr. Gould before his friends, and she was to agree to a regulation of her personal finances. Mrs. Gould said that as far back as 1899 her husband promised to allow her . SIO,OOO a month. The witness said she had to have at Castle Gould morning, afternoon, and evening gowns, with shoes and stockings that matched, tea gowns, coaching gowns, shopping gowns which she used about the city, and with most of these hats, shoes, stockings, and parasols to match. Dinner Gowns, SSOO to S6OO. Yachting costumes were distinctive from the others and had to have their expensive accessories, the witness said. She was accustomed to change her gowns sometimes five and six- times a day. She had to dress at least three times a day at Palm Beach, and more than that during her various trips about Europe. ** In answer to questions regarding the cost of her various dresses, etc., Mrs. Gould gave the following estimates: Dinner gowns, SSOO to $600; morning gowns, SIOO to $150; day gowns (worn shopping, etc.), $500; tea gowns, S3OO to $400; reception gowns, SSOO. For motoring, coaching and yachting, the witness said, she required particular gowns. Honors were about even in the verbal battle between the cross-examiner and Mrs. Gould. Both sprang surprises. The lawyer’s most embarrassing thrust was the exhibition of a faded, old-fashioned photograph of a young woman sitting on a white horse, with the white canvas of a circus tent in the background. Mrs. Gould turned a dull red as it wks shown, but she would not identify the photograph as one of herself, nor would she swear that it was not. She thought it was “hardly fat enough for me.” Something About Gould Fortune. This picture was Introduced to show if possible Mrs. Gould’s former association with Buffalo Bill’s show. Mrs. Gould made one cutting retort to her inquisitor. Nicoll had been asking the witness about her gowns, how many she wore, how often she wore them and what became of them. They were given away, Mrs. Gould testified. “One of them,” she shot in, "was given to your own sister, who is on. the stage. I have aided many poor girls to get stage engagements by equipping them with my discarded gowns.” Attorney Nicoll said he would concede that Howard Gould’s income was about $600,000 a year. George Gould testified that he had caused an Investigation to be made In regard to the alleged former marriage of Howard’s Wife. His father’s estate, he said, had never been formally divided among the children, but it was valued approximately at $80,000,000. -Howard Gould was entitled to onesixth of the estate under the will.
