(Cnltwl Fran Lnwd Wlr. Colorado Springs. Colo.. Sept. 21 No solution has yet been found by the police for the Wayne and Burnham sextunle murder. The Inquest Is sched uled for this aftr-rnonn. when the , meager details surrounding the finding of the six bodies with their neaas spm onen will be brought out A. J. Burnham. a -ook at the Modern Woodmen sanitarium, father and hus band of three of the victims, is still In custody and continues to deny any knowledge of the crime. He says he pent. Sunday night, when the murders are believed to have oeen commuted, at the sanitarium, which is nine miles away from the rity. The sanitarium authorities confirm this statement, saying that no conveyances left the tables that night. Burnham is a con sumptive, and it would have been Im possible for him, in his weakened con dition, to have walked to the city and back In one night. One theory advanced by the police Is that the murderer was a madman whose mind became inflamed by read ing accounts of the recent Lee murders at Boonvllle. The crimes are similar in many respects. In both cases the victims were trained with an ax. while they slept, and each slayer attempted to conceal the crime by setting fire to the house where the victims lay.

The better the brain, The better the thought, The better the achievement. A good working brain is built up from food which contains the things brain is made of.

FOR To know of and use a food that will feed and restore brain and nerve before light nervous troubles end In complete nervous prostration or brain-fag la wise, for unless proper food Is supplied dally It Is unreasonable to expect the nervous system to answer the demands made upon it. There Is a food, Grape-Nuts, for fhe particular purpose of restoring weak ened nerves or fagged brain to health and strength. A business man of Baltimore, who mads the trial says: "Two years ago my health had be come so seriously Impaired it was Im possible for me to attend to business. At the least exertion my nerves "would give way and th condition of my sys tem allowed me little or no rest or sleep at night. Stomaoh trouble soon followed tad X could take no solid food. I tried the best tonloa and medicines but they all failed. "Finally Grape-Nuts food was recom mended and after using it for 10 days I be (ran to feel Its good results and at the end of three months I was again a well man nerves restored to their normal condition, strength renewed, and I, was able to do any amount of both mental and physical work without feeling un duly fatigued.
