GIRL DOMINATED BY
FIENDISH MENTALITY
GIRL GIVEN HEARING ON CHARGE
OF SHOOTING HER SWEET
HEART AT HANOVER, N. n.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Hanover, N. H., May 19.-"What
weird hypnotic power is possessed by
this girl?" This is the question that
all the people of this section have
been asking in regard to Ethel Stur'
tevant, 17-year-old girl, who was
given a preliminary hearing at Haver,
hill today on a charge of being i'm
plicated in the shooting of her sweet
heart, Jesse Barden.
Whatever the outcome of the case
may be it will be a long time before
the neighborhood ceases to talk OF
1.-The Wonder Child" as the girl i!
called. Her mother, whose mysterious
death three years ago, with the ensu-
ing inquest, brought Ethel lIrst before
the public gaze, declared that the girl
had been poisoned; others claimed
that she had been hypnotized, but
medical men, though puzzled, chung
to the theory that she was afflicted
with some disease akin to epilepsy.
Sinking into strange hypnotic
frances and evolving poetry and prose
on subjects far beyond her sane ken,
again dreaming placidly and after
ward averring she had spoken with
spirits; at times writhing in horrible
commissions, cursing, tearing her hair
and often attempting suicide, the
strange child seemed to be dominated
by some fiendish mentality. In her
normal state she was clever though
not precocious, bright and winsome
The circumstances surrounding the
shooting which has again brought her
into the limelight are as mysterious as
the other facts which have marked
her young life The Shooting took
place some three weeks ago, the vic
tim being Jesse Barden, young farm
er boy who had paid court to Miss
Ethel. He turned up at his home
with a bullet embedded in his lung
For week or more his life was de-
SPARED of. He accused his sweetheart
of the crime, while she as stoutly de-
MED it. She was arrested, and on the
long night ride to the county prison
the unusual girl Joked and twitted the
sheriff and appeared to be in the high
est spirits.
There is a general feeling that the
girl will be dismissed and left free to
further mystify the community With

She was a bright young teach CT, in charge of a bright young class, composed of many foreign children. To increase their vo- cabulary She had hit on a guess ing game. She told the class of what she was thinking, and they named the object.
 This time she had thought of the word birthday, and the les son went on in this fashion:
 'Now, little folks, 1 am think ing of something you all have. You don't have it very often, just once every year. Even 1 have one. What is it? I'll give you a minute to think and when you are sure you know raise your hand"

Impoverished Soil

Impoverished soil, like impoy- erished blood, needs a proper fertilizer. A chemist by analyz- ing the soil can tell you what fertilizer to use for different products.
 Ii your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the rich, red corpuscles that are lacking in it. It may be you need a tonic, but more likely you need a concentrated fat food, and fat is the element lacking in your system.
 There is no fat food that is so easily digested and assiml- lated as
