TOOK HIS LIFE.
Alfred +. Dadd. the Richmond street
baker. made sure thing of his suicide.
Dadd moved from Pawtucket. TO No. 80
Elm street this city, last Friday.
He was doing a good business and
there was no cause for him to take his
life on that score.
Still he was very respondent and II is
said that there was family trouble of
some kind
Dadd arrived at his shop at o'clock
and proceeded as was his habit 10 lay out
work for the day.
His method indicated anything but an
intention OF taking his life.
He lighted his oven fire and pared ap-
pies for pies.
Then he set about to end his career.
In the rear shop is a proving closet. as
bakers call II. This is a contrivance, with
shelves for holding pans Of bread. At the
bottom is a gas stove, and when the
bread is sufficiently raised when made
into loaves, II is transferred to the large
oven.
CUT RUBBER TUBE
Dadd couldn't get into the closet to
asphyxiate himself, SO he cut the flexible
tube near the base of the closet and pre-
sumably sought TO kill himself by inhal-
ing the gas by placing this tube ih his
mouth.
That method was too slow, too doubt
full, perhaps, for, shutting of the gas.
Dadd procured a piece of clothesline,
which he wrapped about an overhead soil
pipe In such a way that the ends were
OF equal length.
1t was securely fastened overhead. but
to make doubly sure. Dadd, after step
ping upon a box, fastened a moose about
thar iaH he nfh M hQ
rope about his right wrist
Clasping his hands together Dadd gave
the box "A kick and as IL toppled and fell
TO one side he suspended himself and was
slowly strangled.
Joseph Gadreau. who works at tho
bakeshop, arrived at o'clock and hung
about for an hour wondering why Dadd
didn't open up the shop.
Becoming suspicious Gadreau went TO
the residence OF Josephine Ahmuty, the
saleswoman in charge of the fruit shop,
and procured her key.
Opening the bakery Gadreau was shock
ed at finding his employer had taken his
own life.
Medical Examiner Perkins was called
and gave a permit for the removal OF the
body.
THEY ARE GLAD.
The Dorrance Hotel people are congrat-
ulatlng themselves over their lucky es-
cape from housing a suicide.

ABOUT ScRoFULA.
Surface Indications of the Disease
and Preventive Treatment
for Children.

At the present day physicians no
longer regard scrofula as a distinct
disease, but the term is still used IN
an indefinite way to designate the
presence of enlarged glands in the
neck and a tendency to chronic IN
Examinations in the skin and mucous
membranes, says Youths Companion
The Emphatic glands in the neck
are prone to enlarge on very shght
p-rovocation. It is common, for eX-
ample, to find the glands beneath the
law swollen as a result of irritation
from a decayed tooth, a canker sore,
or any other abnormal condition IN
the mouth; but the swelling in such
cases is usually transient, n sub
sides with the disappearance OF the
cause. Not so, however, with "scrotu-
lous" glands. These remain perma-
nently enlarged, perhaps slowly in
~creasing in size.
They are at first hard, but later be-
come soft, as a cheesy matter forms
in the interior, and eventually break
down, giving issue to a chronic dis
charge, which is succeeded by an un-
slightly soaring of the neck.
The disease is the same as consump-
ton, the seat of the tuberculosis be-
ing the glands in the neck instead OF
the lungs. It is not in itself danger
Gus to life, but its presence indicates
that the sufferer is vulnerable to tu-
be~rculosis, and is consequently a can
didate for consumption unless pre-
ventive treatment is at once under
taken.
This preventive treatment is mainly
twofold-good food and fresh air and
sunlight. The child, for children are
the usual sufferers from "scrofulous
neck" should have an abundance of
nourishing, w~ell-cooked food, and
should be encouraged to eat a little
at a time and often, rather than to
take the ordinary three large meals
a day. Plenty of butter and cream
should enter into the dietary, and
cod liver oil may be taken with adj
vantage, if it does not disturb the
appetite or the digestion.
Summer and winter the patient
should spend most of the day in the
open air ~(schooling car waltz, and at
night must sleep with the windows
wide open. Sunshine is inimical to
the tubercle bacillus, and q vulnerable
person should be in it Is much as
possible.
II the glands in the neck begin tc
soften 1t is generally advisable t6
have them removed, for if this is not
done they will finally break dowr
and discharge, and the resulting scars
will be much more conspicuous thar
those that would have been left aftel
the cutting out of the glands. Be
sides, there is always danger of thu
disease spreading to the lungs o.
other parts of the body so long a
the t~uberculous glands are allowed
to remain.
