Vigorously she denied any infor- | mation as to the length of Mrs. Oys- ter's stay and refused to speak on the probability of her return to Washington, where she has been liv- ing sumptuously in Wardman Park inn in a luxurious suite in which the paintings alone have been valued at $100,000--lighted by pedestal lamps hung with jade. The rooms are fill- ed with costly furniture and works of art. ' Mrs. Oyster has gone downtown here on several occasions wearing smart, deep mourning.

Painful Diarrhoea, 'CRAMPS IN STOMACH Mr. Fred Funston, Craik, Sask. writes: --'"A year ago last harvest I was taken with a sudden attack of diarrhoea which completely laid me out, and in a few hours I had to quit work. The cramps in my stomach were dreadful, the beads of perspira- tion would stand out on my face at times I was in such great distress. At last I got a chance to send to town for a couple bottles of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. [I used it according to the way I felt and soon obtained a great change for the better, for which I was very thankful. I don't know what the 'cause of my | sickness was except the extremely hot weather and the active work of stook- ing the wheat. "Several of my neighbors were tak- en the same as myself and had the doctor attend them, but they didn': get retfef until I advised them to use 'Dr, Fowler's', when they soon experi. enced a great change."
