Des Moines, Feb. IA special
from washington to the Register and
Leader says:
president Roosevelt has asked for
the resignation of J. U. Sammis as col
Iector for the northern Iowa district.
This is information given members OF
the Iowa delegation and Secretary
Shaw and is official. 1t confirms the
information given the Register and
Leader last week that the president
had determined to take up the Sam
mis- case again and dispose of 1t by
getting rid of the incumbent.
"As before announced, the president
for a year has been dissatisfied with
the defense made by Sammis to the
charges arising from the fact that his
deputy collector divided his salary
with Sammis' brother, one of the field
deputies. When the matter first
came up the president consented to
forego final action in accordance with
the wishes OF the delegation that no
trouble be stirred up on the eve or
nomination conventions last year.
Later the president let the matter
rest for reasons of his own until the
election was over. Manifestations OF
some discomfort because Sammis was
alleged to give little time to the duties
of his office has added to the reasons
for his requested resignation.

Diet for tuberculosis.

The tubercular patient needs Ero-
teids, or tissue-buiding foods, but oa!y
just the amount which can be asslnt-
lated and utilized by the body. Any
excess must be treated like poisons,
and hence must be burden to both
liver and kidneys, and waste Of vital
energy.
Proteids must be taken, not only IN
moderate quantity, but in the puress
form possible The vegetable kingdom
presents proteids in combination with
fats in great abundance, and in nuts,
which can be made easily digestible
by thorough chewing or by proper
preparation.
The yolks of eggs afford also a com.
bination Of fats and proteids which Is
admirably suited to the tubercular pa
tent. Milk, especially rich milk, Is
another food adapted to this class Of
patients when it does not produce
"biliousness" through indigestion.
Many tubercular patients have dila'
tation of the stomach. Such cases
must avoid milk. Nearly all can take
nuts if the right kind IS selected and
great care is taken with the mastic;i.
ton. Pecans, hickory nuts. almonds
and filberts, pinons, or pine nuts are
the. best varieties. Half a pound OF
nuts may be taken daily by the con.
sumptive, not only without harm, but
with great benefit, Il combined with
other foods. A diet consisting Of nuts
well-toasted bread and fruits Is a per
feet dietary for the tubercular patient
The yolks of dozen eggs may be
used in place Of nuts.

Des Moines, Feb. 1.-THE state
scored clean hit against the defense
in the Thomas case yesterday upon
the admission of the evidence OF Pro-
lessor S. r. Macy, professor of chem
istry of Highland Park college, show
ing that the stomach Of Mabel Scho-
field contained chloroform or a poison
which may have been the result OF
the action of choral hydrate on the
stomach.
The court room was treated to a
surprise on the appearance OF DR..
Taylor, now of Kingsley, Ia. Taylor
repeated the testimony given by him
before the grand jury as to the man
ner in which he was called to the
Thomas house on the night Of the al
legged murder.
He said that he came to the house
on West Woodland avenue at the in
stance of Charles Thomas, and that
when he called in the evening he was
met at the door by Charles Thomas,
who told him that he was too late,
that he had given the girl too much
Knockout drops, and that she had
died as a result. He said that he
recognized Thomas as one of the men,
and believed that August Hast was
the other, although he would make
no positive assertions on that score.
In the afternoon session of the
court the defense attacked Taylor in
keen cross-examination, in which
his past record was brought into
light and he was made to disclose a
private record which, however, did
not injure his testimony in any great
degree.
Evidence had been already intro.
duced showing that Thomas pur-
chased poisons, claiming they were
for an undertaken, and the undertaken
had sworn that this was untrue.
