IT'S SUCH a PRETTY STORY
Pity to spoil II, But Facts are Facts, Even


81. Josepth, Mo, Aug. Is Inquiry has
been received here from the office of
the Unhed States consul at Jaurez.
Mexico. concerning James F. Howard, a
young man well known here, who is re-
ported to be lying unconscious in hos
pital at JaureZ, with two bullets in his
body. Private kilograms received here
state that on Wednesday evening How
ard started from Jaurez to the City of
Mexico. a short distance out of Jaurez
he became involved in difficulty with
several MeXicans. who attempted to as
sault him. In the desperate fight that
followed he shot three of them dead and
escaped though himself badly wound
ed. Later the same night, although
almost fainting from loss of blood,
young Howard saved the Mexican Cen
trail train. southbound, from a wreck,
apparently planned by the gang Of Mex
leans with which he had fought.
He had learned that some one had re-
moved the rails a half-mlle ahead and
as the train turned a curve some dis
tance away Howard set fire to his coat
and as best he could in his weakened
condition, waved the flaming garment
across the track. The signal proved sf
fective, Howard was taken aboard and
just before he lost consciousness was
enabled to tel the train men the condi-
tion of the track. The train proceed
ed slowly. finally coming to a place
where the rails had been removed for
two lengths and placed across the track.
Robbery was evidently intended.
Howard has been unconscious since
then. Re had been shot in two places.
The Mexican Central officials are doing
all possible for him.

body, is an absolute canard. United

NUTRIMENT IN FOOD.

The consumption of mutton is similar
TO that of beef. and it is about equal IL
nutritive value to beef. Lamb is about
the same.
Smoked ham is one of the most whole
some forms of meat. Ham is more di'
gestible when boiled and served sliced
thin and cold.
Veal is less nutritive, possesses more
waste and less fat than beef. In Ger
many it is considered as excellent as
beef and is prescribed for invalids, but
in England and America il is thought
harmful for persons with weak di'
gestions.
Beef is the most nutritious of all ami
NAL foods and can be eaten longer con-
tinuously than any other kind of meat,
resembling rice and. bread in this re-
spect. Fresh beef is almost completely
digested. more completely than milk j,
by an adult.
Poultry is good flesh-forming food.
Fish is like poultry in it's large amount
of water and small supply of fat. There
is nothing TO show that fish is brain
food except that the small amount Of
fat makes it a suitable diet for persons
of sedentary habits.
