(By Associated Press) BERLIN, Via London, Feb. 28.

House, O., Feb. 2; Greensrork, Ind., Feb. 23. . Other Attempt Made. Others attemps, partly auccessful, which have supposedly been done by the Chicago gang are, ML Auburn, 111., Jan. 1, 1916; Glassford, 111., Jan. 17, 1917; Phio, 111., Feb. 2, 1917 (hole was cut through safe with gas, no expletive used); Mansfield, 111., (burglars placed ton and one-half safe on automobile truck . evidently planning to, Wow it afterwards, safe fell off truck and robbers fled.) There have been all together fourteen safe blowing attempts, partly successful, evidently made, by the 6ame bunch since last August. It is figured that seldom two men work in the same crew. Another peculiarity about work of this gang is that two banks in different sections of the country are often worked on the same night.

A. -G. Ackermann, the detective whom Sheriff Carr has employed on this job and to assist In several other minor affairs "around Wayne county, ' has made a special, study of the, use of acetylene gas in bank robbery. ' All robberies ' by the Chicago gang ere planned for months ahead. Men of various professions find work in or near the town in which the safe is to be blown. .-. They boil their nitro-glycerin from dynamite. They' secure the tanks in various waya.: Usually automobiles used by the robbera are stolen. As soon as the job is done, the crew immediately separates and usually all member's leave the section of the country in which the work is done.

Na-tu-ra Treats The Cause, It's Nature's Way. To The Natura Drug Co., Indianapolis, Ind. 1 am 82 years old. I have had rheumatism for 40 years. I would have headaches for months at a time, was badly constipated and was very nervous, also had very poor circulation; I had spent hundreds of dollars trying to get rid of rheumatism, but obtained no relief. Natura was recommended to me for all forms of catarrh and that when I was well of catarrh I would not have any rheumatism or headaches, and that I would not be nervous: that I would also be free from constipation. Natura was also recommended to purify the blood and to bring about a good circulation; I have now used eight bottles of Natura and 1 have found it to do as you say. I am free from rheumatism, have no headaches, do not catch cold like I did, am free from constipation, and I am over my nervousness. 1 sleep and rest fine; I consider this a remarkable cure for a lady of my age.
