nish the equipment Of the new telephone
system. This Is said to be the original
proposition which Mr.. Stevens made to the
local company when he first entered the
field In Council Bluffs. but the local COM

amended Monday night, Is being redrafted
by the city attorney and will come up for

In the arrest of a crazy negro giving
his name as pat Carter" who is now in
Jail at Abba, the police hope that the
much-desired clue to the murder Of the
Peterson children has been obtained.
Carter was arrested last evening. He
followed Mrs. Albert Petty from the busi-
ness part Of Abba to her home, entered the
yard after her and followed her back to the
woodshed. Mr.. Petty happened to be at
home at the time and interfered, or there
Is no telling what would have happened.
He notified the police and had Carter ar
rested.
Carter explained to the police that he
was forced to follow Mrs. Petty by some
strange impulse. He was manifestly out
OF his head and kept mumbling to himself:
"It was a shame to kill those children"
He repeated It over and over. The police
think the worry over the crime unbalanced
his mind and officers went to Abba at S:l5
this afternoon to see Carter.
Carter gave his address as Des Moines.
He is described as a black, burly negro,
Ave feet eight inches tall and Weighing 165

MEAT FIT DIET FOR ARMIES
English Expert Says Our Feeding
Makes Americans Best Soldiers

Nathaniel Z. YorkeDayies. London's $
famous consulting physician in dletet-
les, has forwarded to Secretaries Root
and Long and Generals Miles and Cor
bin statement containing his conclu-
sions as TO the proper feeding for fight
Ing men. Speaking to the Chicago
Daily News London correspondent the
other day, DR.. Yorke-Davies said;
WARS have been lost and won by
commissary departments The fate OF
peoples in civil conflict depends on the
character of the food they eat. Sol
diers and sailors in this country eng
land) at present get too much bread
and too little meat. The military sue
cesses of the ancient Greeks were due
to their fare, which consisted of plain
meats and almost nothing else. Much
of England's trouble in South Africa
was the result of diet. The transports
landed the soldiers on the battlefield
overfat from the consumption of starch.
Rich food makes men effeminate
and cowardly. Animal food makes
them courageous and hardy. Americas s
army is the best in the world because
Its feeding is more nearly right than
that of any other nation. Russia comes
next. England is third Germany is
fourth and France bad fifth. The sol
dier, especially the growing soldier,
should have one pound of meat each
day in peace and an extra quarter of q
pound during war"

SIN CRAVEN UPON MARBLE.
Warming TO Those who Take snun
During Worship.

There is quaint old parish church in
Plurien, Brittany, built In the early
part OF the fifteenth century and hav-
ing, with many other primitive ar
rangements, the bell rope from the bel
fry hanging down from the roos Of the
nave and dangling just In front Of the
pulpit, so that the process of bed ring
~ is performed in full view OF the
aggregation. But what was more pc
culiar was the projection at right an
giles from one of the walls (also near
the pulpit of sculptured hand and
arm of full size as tho, III held out from
the shoulder by somebody built into the
solid fabric of the wall itself, and the
hand opened and. palm upward and fin
gers extended, had suggestion OF ap-
peal and solicitation which naturally
provoked curiosity.
As there was no inscription or any

through the open door or window TO an

The pinch was duly given, but St

want OF reverence that he straightway
paralyZed the arm OF the offending
snuff taker, who thereupon took to his
bed and died, but not before he had ad-
mitted the justice Of his punishment
and had left directions in his will for
setting up in the church of the marble
reminder Of his sin in order that all fu-
ture villagers in Plurien might be warn
ed against the terrible enormity of al
lowing any distraction to interrupt the
devout hearing of the mass. 1t is
curious story and reminds one that
there has been an infancy in religion
