oHARG ED WITH THROWING POISON
Young Uanbury Woman Accuses Mrs.
 John Main of That City.

Danbury Oct. 17.-Miss Grace Mur- ray, aged tWenty-one, a daughter of Frank Murray, natter, who resides on Mallory street, appeared before Prose- cutting Attorney Booth this evening for a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. John Main, whom she alleges threw poison into her face. Miss Murray's face evil denced bad burns, which two physicians claim were caused by carbolic acid. Though Miss Murray is not probably
 marked for life she Is considerably disfigured and it will be some time be- fore the burns will be healed. Mrs. Main denies the accusation and the prosecuting attorney is Investigating the case, as some peculiar circum- stances developed
 The story told by Miss Murray is that she was walking on White street yesterday afternoon and being conscious that some one was following her turned around and recognized Mrs. Main and a few seconds later the woman passed her and threw something in her face which so badly burned her that she suffered intensely. The poison struck each cheek and burned furrows and some struck the eyelids, which were also burned, but the eyes were uninjured. Miss Murray likewise said that Mrs Main had previously called on her and threatened her with injury if she re- ceived further attentions from MT. Main. Miss Murray asserted that Mrs. Mains accusations or suspicious were unwarranted. Mrs. Main claims that she has a number of witnesses who can testify as to her whereabouts ct the time it is alleged the assault was com mitted and inasmuch as no one can be found who witnessed the assault, and no one heard Miss Murrays outcr1es, although White street is generally well travelled, the prosecuting attorney is of the opinion that the affair requires thorough Investigating. Both of the women are of very attractive appear ance.

HEALTH RULES.
For All Ages to ollow During the Hot
Weather.

These rules were prepared by promi-

RACE HORSE AND HIS MOODS.

The public most certainly have
some grounds to consider that horse
is intended to take part in a race
when it figures day after day at the
head of the betting in the daily pa
pers, and no warning is uttered by the
owner that he has not thoroughly
made up his mind as to whether the
horse will start or not. Yet it often
happens that it is quite impossible
for the owner to settle for certain as
to whether it is wise to run until the
very last moment before the numbers
go up, and as he who pays the piper
has a right to call the tune, so must
the owner have right to do as he
thinks best for himself
rhe presence or absence of certain
other horses, that are also entered
and are dangerous rivals, must ma
terially affect the chance of his own
animal, and If they should happen to
catch a cold or a cough at the last
moment or receive an injury on the
training ground, or mayhap on the
very way to the course itself, and SO
be prevented from starting such
difference may be made in the chance
of winning that a complete altera-
ton may be necessitated in the plan
of campaign, and the particular race
for which the horse should start be,
quickly determined
High-strung horses are often much
upset by the hustle of the railwayl
journey and the noise and excitement

meal we'll cooked. A child under two
years should have no sweets.
How Baby Should Be Fed-If feed
ing on the bottle, scald the bottle in
hot water before and after each feed
ing. Use short nipples on the bottle,
and keep bottle and nipple in clean salt
and water between feelings. Use
new nipple every third day. No child
under three years of age should eat
from the table.
For Older Children-Milk is the best
food for the young. Always have the
children wash face and hands before
each meal. See that they have a bath
several times a week. Don't give
children under fifteen years tea or
coffee. Keep away from children fam
cy cakes, candies and unripe or over
ripe fruit. Don't give children sooth-
ing syrups or paregoric, for they con-
tain poisons, as rule.
General Hints-Keep flies away from
sleeping children and stop unnecessary
noises. Don't give beef tea to a child
i'll with diarrhoea. Don't let the baby
suck its thumb, a rubber nipple or a
sugar rag. An infant should sleep
nine-tenths of its time; a child year
Old two-thirds. Don't play with the
baby before five months. Don't lift
the baby by its hands. Don't urge the
baby to walk or talk. If possible have
a carriage for baby 1t can serve the
purpose of a crib to sleep in at night
if necessary. The wind must not blow
in baby's face nor the sun shine full in
its eyes. Don't have the baby sleep
with adults. In summer the baby may
be taken out when a week old. Here
are some important hints for grown
people:
Food-Always chew your food
thoroughly. Buy your food fresh.
Keep it fresh. Prepare it tastefully.
Don't buy bad food because it is cheap.
Don't serve food on a dirty table.
Don't eat decayng fruit Don't fry
all your meat. Don't throw away
bones and ends of meat; use them for
soup. Don't serve vegetables under
done. Always drink milk SLOWLY,
Drink as small a quantity of LIQUID
with your meals as possible. Drink
plenty OF water between meals. Boil
and strain drinking water if it is not
pure. Don't drink cold water when
you are very hot or perspiring freely.
Don't drink water with ice in it. Don't
drink alcoholics. Don't let the child
rem fill their stomachs with soda water
and cUnntnnnl III,
water that has stood uncovered in a
ROOM Don't drink water that has
been standing in lead pipes. Don't let
tea stand in the teapot
Pure Air-Keep rooms well ventilat-
ed. Exercise daily in the open air
when possible. Don't allow any bad
smells from sinks, garbage boxes or
gutter.
Cleanliness-Be sure that the tables
and floors are scrubbed every day. If
possible, cover the table with bright
oil cloth. Don't sleep in the clothing
you wear in the daytime. Don't sweep
the dust into corners; clean it up and
burn it.
Special warm weather hints-Cloth-
ing should be thin and cool in hot
weather A handful of oatmeal in
water makes a healthful drink Put
drinking water in bottles on ice. Don't
put ice in water. A little lime juice
or lemon in water is healthful. Don't
expose food to the open air. Don't
have meat more than once a day in
summer. Protect food and dishes from
flies. 1t is economy to use ice to keep
food from spelling.
