Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled
the silly notion that one kind of
food is needed for brain, another for
muscles, and still another for bones.
A correct diet will not only .nurish
a particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet,
however good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy

Madison.

James Brown, alias Pete BOWL
ing, the famous horse thief, was
sentenced to five years at hard
abor in the state penetentiary.
Brown was wanted here for
stealing a team of horses from
the Overlook farm and after
some time was captured in Chi
eago. There he made a full con-
fession, but when he was brought
to Madison he retracted the con-
fession. He finally pleaded guilty
to the charge of receiving stolen
property. It is supposed that
Browns real name is Samual
Trip. He is wanted in many
states for horse stealing.
