Don't eat much meat in warm wealth
Ar if you would keep your skin free from

Don't eat hot or fresh bread If you
want to be healthy and beautiful.
Don't eat cold. starchy foods, like po-
tato salad and cold porridge, unless you
have strong digestive organs.
Don't eat ice cream too fast. Eaten
slowly and allowed to melt in the

Don't drink ice water. Cool water
quenches thirst much better than ice
cold fluid.

take glassful the first thing in the

Asserts That He Was on the
Verge of Delirium Tremens
When He Was Committed
Special Dispatch to The Call.


SAN JOSE, Nov. 10.-Believing that
two drinks of hot spiced wine had been
the means of causing her son, Albert
NJ. Faux. to be sent to the Agnews
Asylum, Mrs. Susan NJ Faux Of San
corpus proceedings to secure his re-
lease. On January 81, 1902, Judge Heb
bard committed him on the petition OF
his father. The story told in the COM
plaint Is a peculiar one.
Mrs. Faux AYERS that on the night
Of January 80, 1902, her son was suf-
fering with a. chill and she gave him
two big drinks of hot spiced wine. She
believed the drinks would cure him,
but, instead. they made him intoN-
Gated Her son was a total abstainer,
and she now believes the wine drove
him to the verge of delirium tremens
He had Authorizations that he heard
people on the roof and strange voices,
and that his parents wanted to kill
him. Mrs. Faux alleges that while In
this drunken condition the noises that
he heard were made by brewery work
men in the vicinity, who work very
late at night. She further says his
father mistook her sons drunken ac-
tions for indications of insanity
and caused him to be hurried to the
detention hospital and the next day
committed to an insane asylum.
Mrs. Faux recites, further, that since
her sons commitment she has visited
him once every month and that he is
neither incompetent nor insane, but
that he is tortured mentally by his in
generation. Further she says that he
wants to resume his studies in electric
ity. In case that he cannot be dis
charged Internationally she asks that
he be paroled and committed to her
care, as she is in a position to look
after him. The petition will be heard

for $4,000. The Ashburn farm was

later for stock raising purposes. The
experiences Of the Nevada senator in
his farming operations are quite sim

it was the raising of garden produce
that made inr0ads on his bank account.
