with a shrill discord, and throwing
himself across the piano, burst into
tears When the owner entered the
room the musician started up in alarm
and attempted TO escape. He finally
confessed that music had been his
profession, but that, led away by bad
company, he had eventually turned to
burglary. The sight Of the piano had
made him neglect his more recent
business.

Vegetable Diet.

Tor the cook who wishes to substl.
tnte vegetables for meat. knowledge
OF food values is imperative. Some
vegetables are perfect substitutes for
meat. You might grow strong and Wig
orous on them. while il you made a
wrong choice. your family would slow
ly starve to death. All the grains,
such as whole wheat, rice. barley, oats,
corn, are perfect substitutes for meat
They have the same nutritive value
without the wastes of animal flesh.
Nuts. cheese, peas, beans, lentils, rails
fms, figs, bananas, are meat foods. To-
matoes. onions, celery, asparagus. car
rots. Deets, spinach. apples, are all val
uabie and important articles of diet.
hut if you attempted to make them
the basis Of your dietary, your family
would either starve or strike. Many
vegetables have medicinal value which
ff more widely understood would d.
minish the need for drugs and the doc
dor. Raisins, grapes. asparagus. spin
ach. lentils, carrots. contain considera-
Bile iron. They are valuable for anemic
people. Celery. onions, carrots and let

frequently in the diet of the high

walking gowns are made after the
same general lines as the linen frocks.
That is, they are made with short
circular skirto and box coats. A good

The box coat was double breasted and

up this morning when 1t was rumored

on Pike street in such a manner that
traffic by teams was impossible.
An investigation by the street COM

teams could squeeze by but by the
narowest margins. Gers and tens
cannot possibly pass at the same time.
Mr.. Bllllngsley was visited and a
compromise will be effected It IS I'M

When the rights Of way were talk

some claim that Mr.. Blllingsley agreed
to do whatever the otter property
owners consented TO and his action
this morning came as a surprise.
He explained that the land. which
is partly in the city limits and part;
" out, belonged TO him and that II
it was used he would have to be paid
for It. Only the posts are in position
now, but he claims that unless a set.
