"Why don't they arrest me if they think I've taken blackmail money? Those letters will tell why they don't arrest me." Says She Is Scapegoat. Mrs. Stewart declared that the others Implicated in the case have agreed to throw all of the burden on her. "And I won't stand it," she added. "I've tried to keep out of this, but they won't let me.

STEAMER ENGINEER KILLED Wireless Message Tells of Explosion on St. Croix. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 11.

Prominent Physicians Indorse Remark able 'Life-Saver." During the last few years there has been a tremendous "change of heart" among physicians In the treatment of diseases by means of drugs. In all parts of the country prominent physi cians have been advising the use of hot-air baths, commonly called Robin son Thermal or Turkish Baths, with re suits little short of astounding. Such mon as Dr. Benjamin W. Rich ardson, Dr. Krasmus Wilson and fair Edwin Cuadwick, one of the worlds foremost sanitarians, fully indorse the Thermal Bath. One of England's greatest authori ties on hygiene says the surface of the whole body is covered with 7,000,000 tubes or pores, each about a quarter of an 'inch long, and if stretched out. end to end, would extend nearly 28 miles. Tills Immense drainage system Is designed by nature to relieve the bodv of its vicious secretions. When these pores are obstructed, a deposit is formed at the mouth of each pore which tends to paralyze the healthy action of. the skin and sow the seeds of disease. Drugs do not eliminate the clogged up poisons from the system; they have to fight myriads of germs, the battle is too unequal and the germs rout the drug Instead of the drug routing the germs. The Robinson Thermal Bath extracts poisons from the pores almost as a liquid Is sucked up through a straw; the poison Is extracted and the cause of disease disappears. The effect of the Robinson Thermal Bath on rheumatism, lumbago, kidney and blood troubles, dyspepsia, throat and lung trouble, nervous prostration, insomnia, eczema and all skin troubles, bad colds, neuralgia and constipation are simply- surprising. Robinson's Thermal baths can now be taken at home at a cost of but a few cents each, and with almost no trouble at all. The results are a real Godsend. If you are sick from any cause. It will have an almost miraculous effect upon your system. If you are well, it will keep you so. The Robinson Thermal Bath Cabi nets are a remarkable invention. They are now on exhibition and for sale in Portland by Woodard, Clarke & Co. Go and see them, examine them, alco ask for that wonderfully instruc tive book, "The Philosophy of Health and Beauty." Its price is $2.00, but it is now being given away free for only a limited time. If you cannot go and see these Rob inson cabinets, send your name and ad dress to the Robinson Manufacturing Company. 000, Toledo. Ohio, for full Il lustrated Information, free. list.
