A strawberry contains a greater pro
portion of water than does milk, which
on the face of it may seem odd, since
the strawberry appears to be solid as
compared with milk AS to nutritive
value the strawberry can count for
little unless the sugar is regarded,
which amounts to One-half the total
solid matter as valuable in this re-
spect. The mineral salts Of the straw
berry contain quite a large proportion
of potassium, phosphOrfc acid and
iron, so that the view that an album
dant diet of strawberries may have
the effect of a tonic is not without
some reasonable basis. Tannic acid
has little or no action upon the fruit,
so that the strawberry tea" is justifi
able dietetically.

SPRINGFIELD, H., May 18.-Two
breaks in the voting in the Illinois Repub-

last night Judge Sherman threw his
entire strength to Charles s. Deneen, and
the delegates voted with the latter for
two ballots Deneen gained few addi-

to him. and It was well demonstrated that
his claims OF heavy country support were
not well-founded

to Lowden and decided to stand by him to
the end.

Gets A TIP

Peter Sanadberg, who has lately adopted
the practice of making alterations and

CITY ASKED TO
ABATE NUISANCE

Members of the Riding and Driving as
sociation are complaining to the city off
cials of the condition of several of the
driveways. Thoughtless people, it appears,
have burned their old sidewalk planks in
the middle of the street and the rusty
nails have been left in the street. These
old nails may prove the ruin of valuable
horses and the association believes that
the city should take some action to abate
the nuisance
Street Foreman Snyder now has the mat
ter in hand and will at once have all such
obstacles removed from the streets.

THE FIGHT is
ON IN iowa

DES MONIES, Ia. May ls.-The Iowa
Republican state convention opened here
this morning with the 'stand patters" ap
iourned after organizing and at late
hour had not reconvened because of a
tariff fight in the committee on resolu
tions.
Particular interest ie taken in the atti-
tude of the party at this time on account
of the fact that Iowa is the home of Gov,
ernor Cummins the chief advocate Of the
Iowa idea, and because the stand patters
are now in complete control of the state
for the first time in several years. It is
generally conocuded that Senators Allison
and DolIiver, Governor Cummins and J.
w. Blythe will be named as delegates at
large to the national contention.

of Miss Ethel &. Story OF this WI

home in Canaan, after an illness Of
several months, during the last tive

scious, in condition bordering on
death.
All efforts of the attending physi-
clans to relieve her peculiar condi-
ton proved fruitless.
Her illness, which was pro-
nounced to he q case of ccrcbro-
spinal meningitis, remained n puz-
zlc to the last, and the doctors admit
that more remarkable case has
never come to their attention.
During the long period OF insen-

able to receive any form of susie
nance beyond few sips of liquid
nourishment every few hours.
