In the big icebox at the White House
were yesterday hanging. heads downward.

One Of them will be eaten by the Presi-
dent and his family and few guests at

Presidential board is q state secret. The
choice is being more closely guarded than

An AnuurI Contribution.
One Of the birds is the regular contri-
button Of Horace Vcse. Of Westerly. the
poultry dealer who has sent a gobbler to
the White House day or so before
Thanksgiving ever since 1873. The other
is the offering Of Mrs. Lille E. Ni3sley.

thirty pounds with the feathers on. while
the one from the Keystone State. dressed

either one Of them would be a credit to

Selection Left 40 Choice.
Although Pincbney has not said so,
there is a suspicion that about midnight
last night he took a candle and slipred
down to the icebox. opened the door and
peered in at the birds where they hung
suspended above an array OF good things
which viii form a minor portion Of the
Thanksgiving dinner a the White House

SENSE ABOUT FOOD.
Facts About Food worth Knowi

Facts About Food Wcrth Knowing.
1t is a serious question sometimes TO
know just what TO eat when a PERSONS
stomach is out Of order and most foods
cause gripping and pains.
GraPe-Nuts Food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that IT will di-
gest. Actual experience Of people is val
liable to anyone Interested in foods
Mrs. Ella Nation, 1452 Grand Avenue.
Terre Haute, Ind, Had suffered with
indigestion for about four years. ever
since an attack Of typhoid fever. and at
times could eat nothing but the very
lightesf food. and then suffer such agony
with lay stomach / would wish ! never

Grape-Nuts Food and since using II ! do
not have 20 starve myself any more. but
] can eat it al any time and feel nour-
ished and satisfied and dyspepsia is
thing of the past
When ny stomach used to have that
burning. hungry sensation my heart would
flutter. just as sufferers with stomach
trouble know about, and when ] was so
weak / could hardly walk | would get up
and get some Grape-Nuts and cream and
eat them and the trouble would stop right
away, and kept growing better and bet
ter.
My husband also had al experience
with Grspe-Nuts Food. He was very
weak aud sickly in the spring. Could moi
attend to his work. He was put under
the Doctors care. but medicine did not
seem TO do him any good until he began
10 leave off ordinary food and use Grape
Nuts. 1t was positively surprising to see
The change in him. He grew better right
CT. and naturally he has none but words
OF praise for Grape Nuts
our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal
without he has Grape-Nuts. and he learns
81 fast at scnoOl that his teacher and
other scholars comment on ii. / am sat
isiied that il is because Of the great nour-
ishing elements in Grape Nuts.
1T is pity that people DO not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who feed their youngsters
on almost any kind OF food and when they
become sick begin to pour the medicine
down them The real way is to stick 10

WAR DECLARED ON
CIGARETTE EVIL.
BOARD OF EDUCATEON'S VERDICT.
SchooibOys Who whin the Seductive
Roll Liable to Suspension-
The Habits Alarm
ing Spread.

Sudden war on the cigarette smoking
schoolboy has been declared by the Board
of Education. The youngster hereafter
detected whiting the seductive little white
roll on school premises win be liable to
suspension. If he becomes so welded to
the habit that the offence is persistent,
even more drastic disciplinary measures
will be resorted to.
The Board of Education made the fol-
lowing announcement at the conclusion of
the meeting last night at the Franklin
School building: The rule prohibiting
the use of tobacco in any form by pupils
will be strictly enforced hereafter. and
supervising principals. principals, and
teachers will be so instructed"
Rule Not Well Enforced,
The rule has been in effect for long
time, but its enforcement has been more
or less lax. Under the construction given
it. not only is smoking considered a
breach of discipline. but the carrying Of
tobacco or smoking articles in the clothes
of pupil is an offence
The practice of cigarette smoking has
spread alarmingly in recent months. 1t is
no uncommon thirg for boys of all ages
to smoke in open view on school play
grounds, although they generally resort
10 hidden corners, beyond the prying
sight of teachers. DR.. Kingsman, one of
the members of the board, stated last
night. after the meeting of the board, that
the practice had become alarming in ex-
tent He remarked that he had recently
lepp lpd IN af faUh n rtap 1bfar- ItbC haG
been reduced to the verge Of nervous pros
tration BY excessive cigarette smoking.
Hard 80 Prevent the EVIL.
It has always been rather difficult to
keep boys in the seventh and eighth
grades. and especially in the high
schools from smoking on the school
grounds, but it is learned that the habit
is not now found alone among boys of
that age, but affects youngsters of fewer
years. They are not old enough to know
better. and are often encouraged by older
pupils. who urge them on with the state
ment that it is manly to smoke. Natu-
rally enough the boys turn to cigarettes
rather than to any other form of to-
baccO. for the reason that cigarettes are
milder than either pipe or cigar. and be-
cause they are cheaper, and therefore
within the reach of the limited means of
the average schoolboy.
Beyond the consideration Of the cigar
cite evil and discussion Of a draft Of the
report Of General Boynton. President Of
the Board Of Education, which was cub
mitted. there were no matters Of gen, al

MRS. sHIEVELEY's RINGS.
More Concerned Over Their Loss
Than the Missing $4,000 bond.

Mrs. Emma J. Shleveley is not as deeply
concerned over the loss OF the $4,000
United States Government bond as she
is over the loss of the three diamond
rings. whose aggregate value is not one
tenth Of that OF the bond.
The Treasury Department officials have
been notified of the loss of the bond. and
are assisting in the search for it. In
the event of it not being recovered, it
being a registered bond. bearing the name
of the owner, a duplicate can be issued.
although this method may be attended
with some trouble and delay.

I think that in such a case man
would naturally grab at his throat be-
cause of the instantaneous suffocation.
He would raise his arms and perhaps
grasp at the wound

factor in causing the death, them?
why, most certainly"
Would the arms and legs be liable to
movement after the body fell2"
Yes: the arms or legs might be drawn
up after the fall. 1t would be natural
movement"
In returning to the powder marks, the
witness stated that a shot fired at a
distance of two feet would leave no
powder marks. At one foot there would
only be a few powder marks, and at
a closer distance the grains would embed
themselves in the skin as is the case in
the breast wound on the body.
Dr. GlaZebrCOk stated that man might
be able to iunict the hip wound upon him
self but could not make the wound in the
arm.
Bruises on Mrs. BOnine's Arms.
The witness described having examined
Mrs Bonine at the District JAIL and found
on each arm a large bruise. The bruises
we're. to his mind. made about the time Of
the tragedy There was large bruise
on the lower left leg. which extended from
tie knee 10 the ankle. This looked ex-
scriy like the other bruises. Several small
bruises were found on the right leg. The
bruises. he said, could have been caused
hy a larger body falling. or pressing upon
the Woman's limbs.

'One good way, / think, to Judge
whether we have talent for any
thing or not Is to watch the motive
that draws us toward doing thing"
writes Helen Watterson Moody in
the March Ladies' Home Journal.
"If we do it because it is the fash
ion, or because other girls are doing
it, or because We have to do it for
some useful purpose, it Is not prob
able that we have real talent for
it; but If we find ourselves doing II
just because we really love it, and
would rather do it than not; if it il
doing the thing itself that attracts
us, and not the eclat it is going t.
give us in the eyes of others-why
then 1 think we may reasonably
conclude that God has given us Q
