EDDY DEFENSE
BEGINS TUESDAY
Battle Over Pleasant View
Mystery is Drawn
One.

CONCORD. n. H., Aug. IA week
OF heated argument and many senSR-
tons in the Eddy case is over. and until
next Tuesday the opposing counsel will
rest and the Christian Science authori-
ties will complete the preparation of
Mrs. Eddy's defense, which will begin
on that day.
The battle TO penetrate the mystery
surrounding Pleasant View seems thus
far a drawn one. While early in the
week the defense won an important VIC
tory in getting the masters TO limit the
inquiry into Mrs. Eddys life TO the
past seventeen years. they were defeat
cd in their efforts to save their veneT-
able client from further personal exam
inauon.
The next friends" and their friends
are jubilant today because the masters
granted their request for an examina-
ton of Mrs. Eddy by two alienists Of
their own choosing AS the result Of
this decision. on some day next week.
Mrs. Eddy will be visited at her homo
by Drs. Henry r. Steadman and George
II. Tuttle. OF Boston. and subjected 70
every test that her ags and feeble con
ditiOn Will permit
These anenists, however, will be ac-
cOmpanied by the masters and by the
attorneys for both sides, who Ia
measure viii regulate their examination.
There is now little probability that Mrs.
Eddy will be compelled TO submit 20
examination in open court The next
friends have gained their point IN win
ming permission 10 examine her with
their own experts. and IN vow Of her
aGe and condition will not Insist on q
public ordeal unless forced 70 by the
hostile tactics Of tho defense.

PASTY FOOD

The use of pasty cereals is not advis-

Cereals, such as wheat and oats, can
be cooked long enough and well enough
to fit them for human use, but the ordin-

Men Repeat Charges
of Fraud on Public

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Repeated
charges that the telegraph companies
are defrauding the public by accepting
telegram tolls for messages and then
sending them by mail, express. and tele-
phone, were made by the officials Of the
tslegraphers' union today. Officials of
the company would reply 10 such
charges only by saying they are utter
~ ridiculous, as the companies claim
they have more than enough operators
10 handle the business.
1t was alleged by the union men that
the companies had lost 20 per cent Of
their business this week. Officers Of
the companies admitted that business
had fallen of, but said the decrease MAS
not serious.
