4 Burglar Captured after a Chase
 of Three Thousand Miles.

Detective P. Parker, with James s. Mckenzie in custody, left for Providence, Rhode Island on Thurs day. The crime for which McKen- zie is wanted is burglary, and the evidence against him is said to be conclusive.
 The prisoner was a clerk for a grocery store, and it was his busi- ness to call at the houses of custo- mers to receive orders. In thIs way he became familiar with the houses visited ,and through the imprudence of the occupants not infrequently learned where they kept their val uables.
 Several burglaries were commit ted early in the summer, which pug zled the police. In every instance the house was entered through a window by cutting the wire screen, and the burglar showed his knowl- edge of the premises by going di- rect to the bureau, trunk or other receptacle where money or jewelry was kept, and having secured the plunder, withdrew without disturb ing anything else. It was evident to the police that the burglaries were all committed by the same person, and by one familiar with the houses robbed.
 After a time Mckenzie was dis charged from his cousins grocery for small peculations, and two or three nights after his dismissal the proprieter's residence was burglar ized, and suspicion pointed strong ly to Mckenzie as the robber. How ever, probably owing to ties of con- sanguinity, the investigation was not pushed.
 Finally, a bankers residence was entered, and $500 diamond stud, a gold watch and $95 in money stolen. Seven thousand dollars in currency which the banker had re- ceived after business hours, was se- creted between the mattresses of the bed and was not discovered. Suspicion again fell upon McKen- zie, as he had been seen several nights prowling about the place. Upon cursory investigation Detec- tive Parker was convinced that Me- Kenzie was the culprit, ,and when his arrest was determined upon it was discovered that the bird had flown. The missing diamond was found in a pawn shop in Providence where it had been pledged for $100 by Me Kenzie, which furnished another strong link of evidence,
 Mir. Parker then started to trace the fugitive. He followed him to Chicago, where the watch was recov- cred, and it was there learned that Mckenzie had gone to Globe, Ari- zona. Mr. Parker at once put him. self in communication by wire with Sheriff Thompson, of Gila county, who had no difficulty in identifying Mckenzie as the man wanted, and placed in the Globe jail. The evi- dence against Mckenzie in this last burglary appears to be complete, and there is little doubt but that sufficient information will be se- cured to indict hlm for other bur- glaries.
 Mr. Parker has been connected with the police department of the city of Providence, as chief detec- tive, for twenty years, and his busi- ness has called him to almost every part of the United States and Can ada, and to Europe. Besides being a shrewd and experienced detective Mir. Parker is polished gentleman, whom it is a pleasure to meet Silver Belt,

The proper administration OF proper
food has much to do with the restora-

equally true that illness may often be
avoided by the avoidance Of food or
drink which is irritating tn the diges-

should receive special attention. ifaD
During the age Of growth the diges-
tive organs are taxed severely to supply
the enormous amount OF nutriment
necessary for the building up Of the
body. Comparatively few parents re-
alize the important part which diet
plays in the production Of physical ro-

both excessive leanness and excessive
fatness by an intelligent and persistent
attention to the child's diet ,Nhll
