STEPHENS FUNERAL WAITS ARRIVAL OF RECLUSE'S SISTER

EATON, O.. Feb. 19. It was expected funeral arrangements for DeWitte Stephens. 84, recluse, whose dead and frozen body was found Monday morning in a shack in which he lived alone, on North Cherry street, would be completed today, following arrival here of his sister, Mrs. Laura Stephenson, of Bluftton, Ind. It is likely the funeral will lake place Friday afternoon. Coroner C. M. Treffinger inclines to the belief that the aged man was stricken with pneumonia and that death resulted from exposure and inattention. The body, frozen stiff, was found on the floor, covered over with a mass of old papers. The body was fully clothed. The aged man had a mania for gathering up old papers of every description which he stored in his shack. The accumulation of papers had grown so large that there was small space in the shack to move around in. A mass of papers was the

only covering of his bed. Was Familiar Figure, Stephens has been a familiar figure in Eaton the last 20 or 40 years. Although a man of more than ordinary intelligence, he had for many years past been regarded generally as very ccenii'ic. It is aald lie was a cousin or Governor William D. Stephens, of California. Although amply able to surround himself with the comforts of life, the old man lived in a miserly manner. Provisions in his placo of abode were scant at the time his dead body was found. It was learned that he owned two rental properties in Anderson. Ind., in addition to the property in which be lived, and about 11 acres or land in the vicinity of Stony Point, southwest of Eaton. On his person was found about three dollars and a check for 527.50 from Anderson. Ind., in payment for rent. While it is not definitely known, it is thought the old man's dead body had lain in the shack for two weeks or longer before discovery. Neighbors had not seen him for some time. They say he had talked about going to Bluffton, Ind., to see his sister, and !1hey thought probably he had gone

there. When a letter rrom the sister came Wednesday addressed to the postmaster here-inquiring about the aged man, as she had not heard from him, an investigation was started. Leonard Deem, mail carrier, found the dead body, after he had been instructed to visit the old man's shack and Bee if he was there, of if the neighbors knew anything of his whereabouts. The aged man never had ' mail delivered at bis home, he always calling at the postoffice for it.

Combing Won't Rid Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough lo moisten the scalp and rub it In gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning most if not all. of your dandruff will be gone and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any rug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Advertisement.

Owe Their Health To Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine. Compared with it, all other medicines for women's ills seem, to be experiments , Why is it so successful ? Simply because of its sterling worth For over forty years it has had no equal. Women for two generations have depended upon it with confidence. Thousands of Their Letters are on our files, which prove these statements to be facts not mere boasting1. Here Are Two Sample Letters:

Mother and Daughter Helped. Middleburg, Pa. "I am glad to state that Lydia E. Pinkham's VegetableCompounddidmemuch good when I was 35 years old. I was run down withfemaletrouble and was not able to do anything, could not walk for a. year and could not work. I had treatment from a physician but did not gain. I read in the papers and books about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and decided to tryit. The first few bottles gave me relief and I kept on using it until I got better and was able to do my work. The Vegetable Compound also regulated my daughter when she was 15 years old. I can recommend V egretabl e Com pou nd as the best medicine I have ever used."-Mrs. W. Yerger, R. 3, Box 21, Middleburg, Pa.

Fall River, Mass. "Three years ago I gave birth to a little girl and after she was born I did not pick up well. I doctored for two months and my condition remained the same. One day one of your little books was left at my door and my husband suggested that I try a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound. I started it immediately and I felt better and could eat better after the first bottle, and I continued taking it for some time. Last year I gave birth to a baby boy and had a much easier time as I took the Vegetable Compoundfor fourmonthsbefore baby came. On petting up I had no pains like I had before, and no dizziness, and in two week3 felt about as well as ever." Mr?. Thomas Wilkinson, 363 Columbia Street, Fall River, Mass. o Insists Upon Having
