about $4,000 on the various contracts

MAYOR GRANT coWLEY OF EDDY.
WILLIE ADOPTS VIGOROUS
MEASURES.
HE GIVES OUT LETTER
Hunt for Author Of Threat to be Push
ed With Vigor No Capitals Nor
Punctuation Marks used in the Mis-.
sive.

Eddyville. May 10. -(SpeciaD - A
reward Of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction of the party or parties who
wrote the anonymous letter received by
Mayor Grant Cowley, threatening to
burn or dynamite his home unless he
desists from pushing some Of the re-
forms he has been putting into force
since he assumed his office a little
more than a month ago.
Gives Out Letter.
1t has been decided by Mayor Cowley
to push the matter vigorously and he
has therefore given out the letter for
publication. 1t says:
Grant Cowley, wouldn't do what
you are doing. it makes bad blood dis
tressing the people. those big houses Of
yours you built with the money you
stole from Butcher would make a big
blaze or little dynamite would blow
them to kingdom come, it's disgusting
to see one pop up and try to run the
whole community. better go slow, that
red paint would look gay flying heaven
ward
No Punctuation.
In the letter received through the
mail no punctuation marks were used
and the first letters of the sentences
were not capitalized Seyera! of the
words were mispelled, but Mr.. Cowley
thinks this was done rurposely by the
writer. A poor quality of paper
was used and the writing was rather
dim. Though a drop letter, it bore a
two-cent stamp.
Mayor Cowley will put forth every
effort to discover the author Of the
missive and secure his arrest and con-
yiction

EATING TOO MUCH.
r. A. EDISON, NOTED INVENTOR,
SUBJECTS HIMSELF TO A
RIGID DIETARY.
Average American Would Rather
overeed Than To Deny Himself the
Pleasure Of the Table-overeating
Shortens Life.

That many individuals are shorten
ing their lives by over eating is the
opinion of Robert A. Edison. the noted
inventor. Mr.. Edison himself has
maintained good health, despite hard
work and irregular hours, which ne pc
lieves is the result of subjecting him.
self to rigid dietary.
Many prominent physicians contend
that most Americans are guilty OF Sc
rious indiscretions regarding their diet.
Regarding the opinions of Mr.. Edison
the Philadelphia Record says:
Because Mr.. Edison has succeeded
in inventing electric lamps and otner
important appliances, it does not FOL
low that he is an authority in matters
of hygiene. His personal experience is
of some Importance, as is that OF every
other observing person, and that ne
has maintained what he regards as a
fair degree of health under stress OF
hard work and irregular hours while
subiecting himself rlgidly and syste-
matically to a very limited dietary IS
evidence that he, at least,can exist on a
less amounto of food than is consumed by
the average man. 1t does not, however
prove, as he assumes, that every otner
person could flourish on the same mea-
sure of nourishment and that all VINO
exceed it impair their health.
Eating Their Chief Pleasure.
sIt is probably true that most per-
sons eat more food and of greater va
riety than is actually required to sus-
tain the body. How far this is posi-
tive injury to health can be determined
only in individual cases. 1t is per-
haps true that habit regulates the de-
mand for food; that one feels the need
of a considerable quantity mainly be-
cause he has INDUCED his appetite I'M
till it has become abnormal and ceases
to be a trustworthy guide. Yet if it
be true that people eat too much be-
cause eating is a pleasure, and at some
risk to health-even if it be true, as
Mr.. Edison asserts. that excessive eat
ing shortens life-it would be rash to
urge on all material diminution of
food. For it is to be considered that
for the great majority of men and
women eating is the chief pleasure of
life. Only comparatively few per-
sons. some of them self conferred hypo-
chrondiacs. would sacrifice the pleas
lres of the table in order to maintain
robust health and to prolong life for
few years.
