PARIS, Oct. 37. There is interest in the coming trial of George Pape, who has been charged with matricide. Owing to a gruesome provision of ‘the French penal code, a prisoner condemned of patricide or matricide is led to the guillotine naked, save for a- shirt, his head being concealed in a black mask. He stands on the scaffold while a sheriff reads the death sentence in a loud voice. He is men guillotined. The story of the crime is one of the strangest. Pape was going out with his stepfather but suddenly returned to speak with his mother. Thus lie was apparently the last person to see his mother alive. When the stepfather returned he found the door locked. He broke in and discovered his wife strangled, sitting upright, but dead. The prosecution says 'the marks on the neck show the son strangled the mother, but the defence claims the marks on the neck were really the sears of an old bum. The defence also insists that it is an extraordinary fact 'that the door of the death-room was locked from the inside when the body was discovered.

TRY.THIS NEW WAY

OF BANISHING COLDS. Simple, Home-made Remedy

Instead of adding “ITeenzo” (Tlean’s ICsscnce) to water and sweetening ns you have always done before, put a few drops of the concentrated essence jn a little hot water, sweeten to taste, and sip slowly. Or. if you like, put 3<.mo lump sugar, and allow it to dissolve in the mouth.

Both of these method's of administer, ing "Hopnzo ” have proved remarkably successful. The concentrated essence, too, j'f mixed with water and sweetening, as per simple directions on label gives you a pint of the finest family cough and cold remedy money can buy. Easy to make, pleasant to take, and lasts quite a long time. A wonderful money-savor, too, because you get eight bottles for the price of one.

“Heenzo” is a splendid remedy for coughs, colds, influenza, sore throats, and all chest and lung affections. ■'/6 bottle at all chemists and stores. —7
