SUICIDE FOLLOWED DISCOVERY.
An Italian Baked in Ingenious Plan to
Rob and Murder a Man.

Rome, Dec. 10.-One of the strangest
crimes had a NEST dramatic solution,
this morning. A young man named
Beretta, millionaire of Milan, and a
famous sportsman was invited by the
Chevalier Angelo Vecchio, an organ
izer of sporting shows, to his villa out
side of Milan on the pretext that
Bretta examine some old pictures Once
there Bretta was seized and bound and
obliged with revolver pointed at his
head to make a will leaving his for
tune to VecchO, besides writing a let
ter saying that he had committed
suicide. VecchiO then left the villa,
after instructing an accomplice to
drown Bretta the next day in a bath
and carry the body far away from the
villa, so as to give Vechio chance to
prove an alibi. But the heart of
Vecchio's accomplice softened and he
set Reretta at liberty and Vecchio,
who read in the newspapers that his
plot had been discovered, disappearel
The police thought he had gone TO
America, but Rome was electrified, this
morning, on hearing that Vecchio had
committed suicide by shooting while
driving in an open carriage ON the
famous Monte Pincio drive, rising from
the plaza Del POpolo.

THREE REASONS

\ EoSton woman who is a fond
mother writes an amusing article about
her experience feeding her boys.
Amops other things she says:
Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob
Jack and Dick, aged 6, 4 and years
respectively are three of our reasons
for using and recommending the food
Graz e-Nuts, for these youngsters have
been fed on GraDe-Nuts since infancy
and often between meals when other
children would have been given candy.
Il gave a package of Grape Nuts to
a neiShbor whose 8 year old child was
a Neazcned little thing i'll half the
time. The little tot ate the Grape Nuts
and cream greedily and the mother
continued the good work and it was
not long before a truly wonderful
change manifested itself in the child's
face and body. The results were
remarkable. even for Grape-Nuts.
Both wife and 1 use Grape Nuts
every day and keep strong and we'll and
have three of the finest, healthicst boys
you can find in a days march" Name

Many mothers instead of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy and
cake give the youngsters handful Of
Grape Nuts when they are begging for
something in the way of sweets. The
result is soon shown in greatly in
creased health, strength and mental
activity.
There's a reason.
