AHEARN IS REMOVED Borough President of Man. haitian Charged With Of-
 icial Misconduct. HUGHES USES POWER Governor Charges Official Neg lect, and Not Personal
 Graft.
HUGHES USES POWER

Albany, Dec. Ex-Governor Hughes tonight ordered the removal from of flee Of John F, Ai1eaFn president of the Borough of Manhattan, New York city, on the charges preferred against him by the City club of New York, holding that the neglect and nisconduct al- legged to exist in the presidents office ''were for the most part made possible because of the want of that ad1ninis- trative care which it was the plain du- ty of the borough president to exer- else"
 The disrepair and neglect which President Ahearn permitted in the paving of the streets of Manhatta;, borough, especially those paved with asphalt is the principal ground upon which Governor Hughes bases his ac- tion, but he refers also to grave abuses in the administration Of the bureau of public buildings, and offices" {" one of the departments under Ahesrn's 8 jurisdiction.
 The governor takes pains to call at tention to the fact that personal cor ruption was not alleged or proved against the borough president, that is," he says, lit is not shown and it is not claimed that he has converted pub lie money or property to his own use or has personally profited in an unlaw- ful manner by his official conduct.
 Justice to MT, Ahearn requires, the governor continues, that this should be stated emphatically and clearly be understood. But that does not end the matter. A borough presi- dent, as has been said is removable up on charges. And without attempting to state comprehensively what conduct bearing upon character or fitness migst be regarded as proper subject of charges, it is clear that charge will lie for breach of duty"

TO UTILIZE THE PLANT
Says Investment of Two Mil lions Lies Idle Many
 Nights.

IA sweeping criticism of the school system of the country and of the city of New Haven was made last evening by Dg Frank J. Diamond, supervising principal of the Wooster Street school, speaking before the chamber of com rnerce Dr. Diamond took for his sub ject "Tha Efficiency of Our Schools as Measured by Business Standards" Speaking from this standpoint he said that cur schools are not run on right business principles; that theNreturn in values are in no way commensurate with tho money invested, and that the schools arc all run on conservative ideas that have long since worn out their usefulness,
 Tho business man is the taxpayer" said Dr. Diamond "The taxpayer should know as business man just what he is receiving for the money he Is investing in the schools" He then proceeded to show where the schools of the country and of New Haven are not up to the standard they should have, and just how Improvements should be gone about. It is not so easy to reckon out the return on school investment as 1t Is on business in- vestment, he showed, because the thing wO are dealing with Is iinmateriAl. while in business it is material ob- ]eet, money, that is under considet.a- tion. Nevertheless, some general con- clusions may be had.
 The schools should be subjected to an investigation as to their equipment. | We should determine whether the equipment is as up-to-date as that of the average business. Dr. Diamond pointed out many cases of school bulld- 'ings in New Haven that have done service without any changes o T irl- .

Waterbury, Dec. s,--At meeting of the Waterbury Medical association to- night unanimous vote was taken to take no more contracts with, fraternal societies at less than the established rate of 8g each for house calls and $1 each for office calls, instead of a stated price per capita for lodge or fraternal work by the year.

FEARS LOSS OF MIND

Mrs. VIVA Graham, of ottumwa, APP
peaIs to Public to Assist Her in
Furnishina Outdoor Treatment for
Her Daughter. Clarence Heald's
Widow-Mrs. Head Crazed by the
Shock of Husbands Recent Tragic
Death.
Mrs. Vina Graham, of Ottumwa,
mother Of Mrs. Clarence Head, for
merly of this city, has issued an APP
peal to the public at Ottumwa, asking
that they assist her in providing out
door treatment for her daughter, who.
she fears, is losing her mind as re-
suit of the recent shock caused BY her
husbands tragic death at Quincy, III.
Mr. Head, who was well-known
Marshalltown boy, was killed in an
elevator accident at the Armour & co.
plant at Quincy a few weeks ago.
Mrs Graham, who is a professional
nurse, is unable to give her daughter
the needed outings, and makes the toll
lowing statement in her appeal:
81 do not ask for financial aid" Mrs.
Graham said. II only ask that some
one who has the leisure time will take
her out away from home for short
time each day, in hopes that the
change of scene and fresh air will have
beneficial effect on her failing rea-
son. She raves and sobs almost con-
stantly over her husbands awful death
and her physician says that unless her
mind can be taken from her trouble
she will undoubtedly lose her reason.
I am financially unable to give her the
rides out into the country and the rec
reation that her physician says would
do much toward restoring her, both
in body and mind, and would prevent
the entire loss of her reason. which he
says is imminent.

FACTS ABOUT FLOUR.
Made White by Leaving Out the Part
Which HELPS DIGEST.

Which, TISIPS DlSSSls
Modern methods of milling separate
the parts of the wheat berry that con-
tains the diastatic element, and furnish
only the white flour made up almost
entirely Of starch.
One of the principal elements needed
to digest this starch has been left out
in the process, and therefore the person
who eats much white bread is sure to
have intestinal troubles. for the starch
does not digest properly and must, of
necessity, decay, and cause all sorts of
trouble.
Grape Nuts food, on the contrary, is
made up of the entire wheat and bar
ley. and the processes of digestion as
shown in the human body. are followed
as exactly as possible, in a mechanical
way by the use of moisture. time and
warmth No chemicals or other in
gradients are used but simple methods
scientifically arranged.
In this way the starch of the grain
is transformed into grape-sugar, and
the Grape-Nuts food. which appears
in a granular form. shows on the OUT
side of the little granules, glittering
specks of this grape-sugar, which is
not put on to the food from the out
side. but is the result of the change
of the starch into grape-sugar which
works out to the surface, very much
as the sap of the hickory or maple
tree will frequently show in the shape
Of white sugar on the saWed-otf ends
of logs.
A handful of Grape Nuts held to the
light will show the little glittering par
ticles of grape sugar. 1t is naturally
and scientifically predigested. there
