ANOTHER HEARING
Attorneys for Mrs. Schmid Would
Amend Their Answer in
Contempt Case.
Pending Motion for Change of Venue
ney Case Stops Temporarily.

In the circuit court this morning Nj.
E. Sweeney and Cannon & McGuirk,
attorneys for Mrs. Laura Schmid, who
is in Jail in contempt of court, came
before Judge Gest asking for permits
sion to file an amended answer in the
contempt case. the one filed having
been held insufficient.
Judge Gest asked the attorneys if
here was not a motion on file for n
change of venue in her case, and the
reply was that that motion was filed in
the criminal case, not in that of con
tempt. The court was unable to com
prehend just how he could be preju-
diced against the defendant in one case
and not in another, and withheld his
opinion in the matter temporarily, and
it is expected that il will come up
again tomorrow morning.
McBurney Case Stops.
In the matter of the petition for ali
mony by Harriet r. McBurney in the
case in which the husband Adam Nc
Burney, secured a divorce at the last
term of court, the testimony of the pc
titioner was heard. Mr.. McBurney's
attorneys offered TO show the acts and
conduct of the petitioner since the
granting of the decree, but the court
held that that was immaterial. the
question at issue being as to whether
or not she was entitled to any of the
money accumulated under their joint
efforts. and if so. how much.
No further testimony was offered,
that on the part of Mr.. McBurney TO be
heard at some future date. According
to that already in, at the time of mar
riage she was 10 years of age and he
was SO. He had at that time about
$1,000. and at the time of their separa-
ton they had accumulated about $20,-
600, exclusive of about $1,000 lost in a
case of bankruptcy. G. A. Shallberg
is attorney for the petitioner and c. f.
Dietz and c. ]. Searle are conducting
the case for Mr.. McBurney.

Under the new agreement, bricklay-

Alcohol In Cold wea ther.

A scientist thus explains why it Is SO
dangerous to use alcohol in the polar
regions A moderate use OF alcohol
causes d deposit OF fat. Alcohol Is not
turned into fuel in the muscle and
nerve cells, but serves as d pure fuel
In the organism and replaces the com
bustion of fat. Alcohol ii therefore
dangerous In the extreme cold because
It assists the throwing on of heat Id d
great degree. The effect Is ais Ii 81
stove In room should be heated red
hot and then all the doors and windows
thrown open. Heat produced by mus
cular work In the body Is best obtained
from carbohyd ydrates in the food; but,
besides this, the Indispensable produc-
ton Of heat Is best obtained by fats.
This explains the instructive choice of
the food Of men. In the tropics they
eat little fat and much fruit, while the
polar dweller requires immense quaint
