DEATH BY APOPLEXY
RAPID PACE OF MODERN ire MAKES
MEN ITS vCTlMs.

ApopIexy is Invited Even in Infancy by
Parents who Encourage Their Children
to Drink Wine and Beer--Ar rtiHcial Con-
dItions Handicap the Human Life.
The sudden death of Cornelius Van
derbilt, while yet in middle age. has
called attention to the growing dan
ger Of apoplectic disorders.
The paper read before the American
Social Science Association by DR.. FL
mer Lee. of New York. and published
In the Medical Times, Is full Of practi-
cal value
Rarely, says DR.. Lee, does an animal.
which lives natural life, die Of apo
plexy. At the beginning Of its life a
baby should be as free from the danger.
But artificial conditions soon handi-
cap the human life.
Apoplexy is invited, even in infancy.
by parents who encourage their chill
dren to drink wine and beer II gets
firmer grip in early middle life upon
the business man. with his frequent
cocktails and high balls"
Deaths from apoplexy would be far
more numerous but for the fact that
1t rarely comes before the fiftieth year
and long before that time other dis
eases have carried off many who would
surely have died Of apoplexy in time.
Apoplexy refers TO an accident to an
artery In the brain, resulting in hem
orrhsge and pressure, causing loss or
diminution OF sensation and power OF
voluntary motion. The artery ruptures
through weakness Of the wall from
previous disease. The accident is like
hy to be fatal. but there may be sew
eral strokes before the patient per.
ishes.
Apoplexy would be almost the rar-
est Of diseases II men lived natural
lives. But to alcohol. which Is his
chief foe. an American business man
adds coffee. sauces and vinegars, rel
ishes and dressings, salads and sweets,
which are innocent in use but deadly
In abuse.
Business men eat too much. The
hardy out-of-door laborer can digest
three meals a day, but the man VINO
uses only his brain can digest less.
though he usually eats more.
| Says Dr. Lee: "A morning and
evening meal, with bread and fruit
for the midday refreshment. with wa
ter instead Of artificial drinks. would
spare the waste Of good friends and
distinguished public men. a class gen.
orally at the mercy Of fashion in eat
ing"
| DR.. Lee also says that modern dress
is much too heavy for the requirements
Of health, especially in Summer.
As plant would soon die II its trunk
and branches were not freely exposed
to air and light. SO the human body
dies gradually from the lack Of ven-
tilation. though the contributory cause
Is often overlooked.

The long list of distressing skin af-

unsanitary underwear. Such under

RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

London, Dec GA dispatch from
st. Petersburg to the London Express
that the revolutionary movement In
Russia continues to grow and that an
outbreak is imminent. Only the pre-
sence of troops, it is said, prevents an
immediate outbreak and even the most
optimistic officials look for an extern
sive upheaval before spring.
This fact is said to have Influenced
Russia in attempting to prevent an
open outbreak with Japan as II is felt
that the Russian peasants would seize
upon the absence of the army from the
country as a pretext for revolution.

AS SEEN FROM OUTSIDE.
why Ministers Should Not Criticise
Grand Juries.

Anderson Bulletin.
Some of the ministers of Indianapolis
yesterday took occasion to criticise the ac-
ton of the Marion county grand jury in re-
turning indictments against an imported
detective" and three of the citizens of the
capital city who were instrumental in i'm
porting him. Grand juries are usually COM
posed of men who have a regard for the
oath which they take upon assuming their
duties and there is no class of citizens who
more urgently advocate submission to the
operation of the courts, right or wrong, and
the law, than ministers of the gospel. 1t Is
fright and proper for them to stand for all
that is good and upright in municipal gov
eminent, but it is not right for anyone to
aid or uphold any proposition that requires
a resort to skulduggery to maintain a
point From this distance it looks as if the
men engaged in venting their enmity upon
the executive of Indianapolis We're short of
the damaging evidence which they had
hoped to secure. and therefore they set
about to manufacture the needed article.
This is conspiracy and it is surprising that
the men of the cloth should fail to recog-
nize it even after a grand jury has pointed
1t out to them. An honest investigation
seeks to find things as they are, and when
men fail TO find that for which they hope
as has been the case so far in the Book
walter matter-and proceed to manufacture
evidence then it is time that the pulpit
steer clear of that appearance of bgotry
and fanaticism which misguided support
would indicate.

The trial OF James Andrews. one of the

Court. Ollie Sanders, whose testimony
some weeks ago sent MIN Davidson, one of
the other negroes implicated IN the muir

selected at 1915. after the venire of TWEEN

After the opening statement by Deputy
Prosecutor Charles Benedict, Attorney Fred
Sheets created a surprise by moving that
the jury be taken TO the Indiana-avenue
laundry where Doc Lung was killed in
order that the jurors better understand
the details of the crime. Judge Afford
took the matter under advisement and will
decide later whether to allow the action.
Captain Gerber, of the detectives, was
the first witness for the State. His testi-
mony related chiefly to the arrest of the
three negroes, MIN Davidson, Ollie San
ders and the defendant. Sanders, the next
witness called. said that on the night of
the murder he stood at the entrance of
an alley leading TO the rear of the MUIR
