This was arranged 50 that they were
obliged to pull it toward them in or

high To- leap over. there was no alter
native but 10 smash it. BY the time
they had accomplished this and had
reached the back shop, nothing could
be found.
AT the place kept by John T. Norris
the officers Were more successful. There
they found a quart Of rum, pint Of
cir. a pint Of whiskey and a pint Of
beer. This they carried away with
them. The proprietor Of the place was

much higher frame than usual, but the
only thing else unusual about il Is that
the name plate has been taken off. this

ABOUT THE EATING OF BREAD.

81 look upon bread as an article of
food destined to be completely abol-
ished before many years, said a
New York doctor, "for the number
of persons who are willingly giving
up the use of it increases every year.
The majority of them do this on the
advice of their physicians, who find
more ground for recommending abb
stinence from bread as they see the
results that such course of treatment
has on their patients. For nearly all
forms of dyspepsia, gout, rheumatism
and kindred ailments, the patient is
first told to shun bread, unless it be
submitted to certain preparation and
taken only in certain forms. The
great increase in the number of hy-
gienic foods that have been put upon
the market, and the almost invariable
success of any of these substitutes for
bread and other starchy foods are
other indications in the change of the
public feeling toward bread as a sim.
Die food which could be taken under
all circumstances. Six or seven
years ago a man wrote book devot-
ed chiefly to exposing to the world
the harmful qualities of bread. Per
sons at that time thought he was
crank, and little attention was paid tC
his very sound utterances on the sub
iect. But his opinions are now re
echoed by most physicians, and th'
great army of abstainers from breat
gathers recruits every day. The re
volt against such well-establishet
institution is naturally little bi
slow. But bread is destined to b
ultimately Stunned even more thai
it is today, and this destruction OF
tradition that has lasted centuries
already we'll under way. Most OF It
force comes from the complete salts
faction of the persons who do give u
bread entirely. They are always tn
most enthusiastic advocates of til
new theory on the subject"
