HAkCOURT BOUND OYER,

Luke Harcourt, the Eveleth man
charged with shooting with intent
to kill Pat Shields, a foreman of the
Cloquet Lumber company at the
same place, was examined before
Judge Gearhart in police court at
Duluth, Monday, and held to await
the action of the grand jury in Sept
! ember.
Shields, who although shot twice
through the body, once through
! the lung, was present and except
for weakness and "a rather husky
voice appeared to be in good con-
dition. The examination was not
: very extensive, Shields telling
briefly the story of the shooting.
He said that he had been drinking
; somewhat during the day but was
not drunk, and admitted that the
fight was precipitated by remark
made by him to Harcourt, to the ef-
feet that the latter dare not come
out of the saloon and fight, where
upon Harcourt pulled the revolver,
firing two shots into his body, and
trying for third, but the weapon
clicked. Shields was unarmed.
! Frank Ansley, the proprietor of
the saloon in which the shooting
occurred, corroborated briefly the
story told by Shields. Harcourt
was in court but not on the stand.

The stomach controls the man. 1t governs
him both physically and mentally. The man
is Just what his stomach makes him. When
the stomach is right, the man Is all right;
he feels good he Is happy, he is cheerful, the
world TO him is all sunshine.
When the stomach is wrong the man Is
all wrong. He is out of sorts, he is nervous,
he is irritable, he is gloomy and respondent,
he is cranky. His general disposition is
such that nobody wants to have anything
to do with him,
The stomach is the organ on which the
whole human system must depend for sub
sistence and existence. IL the stomach
fails, then what is to become OF the rest OF
the bodyP Where does the force of life
come fromg Doesn't it come largely from the
food? You know that IL you stop eating, you
will die. But the mere eating OF food does
not give life. Food can no more give life with
out digestion than coal can give heat with
out combustion. 1T is not what we eat but
what we digest that keeps up the motor
force OF the body.
Undgested food is not only useless but
harmful. 1t ferments and decays in the
stomach, the evidence of which you have in
