HeaIthfuIness of Fruit,

If people ate more fruit they would
need less medicine and have better
health. There is an old saying that
fruit is golden in the morning and
leaden at night. AS matter Of fact,
1t may be gold at both times, but then
1t should be eaten on an empty stom-
ach and not as dessert, when the
appetite is satisfied and digestion is
already sufficiently taxed. Fruit taken
in the morning before the fast of the
night has been broken is very refresh
ing, and it serves as stimulus to the
digestive organs, says New York
Weekly. A ripe apple or an orange
may be taken at this time with good
effect. Fruit, to be really valuable as
an article of diet, should be ripe, sound
and in every way of good quality, and,
If possible, it should be eaten law.
Instead of eating plate of ham or
eggs and bacon for breakfast, most
people would do far better if they took
some grapes, pears or apples--fresh
fruit as long as it is to be had, and
after that they can fall back on
stewed prunes, figs, etc. If only fruit
of some sort formed an important
item in their breakfast, women would
generally feel brighter and stronger,
and would have far better compilations
than is the rule at present.

AUTO PLUNeEs OFF BLUFF.
Falls 40 Feet Into Lake-One Man
- Dangerously Hurt.

Ortonville, Mimi, July 1.-While
going at high rate of speed Sunday
afternoon, an automobile containing
three persons suddenly swerved and
went over a sheer embankment of 40
feet into Big Stone lake. One of the
passengers was probably fatally in
jured, another is seriously hurt and
all had narrow escapes from drown
ing.
Those in the automobile were:
Charles and Walter Bucholz, promi-
nent merchants of Appleton, and the
three-year-old son of Walter. They
were driving along the lake shore road
which, at the point where the accident
happened, runs along the edge of a
bluff. At the highest point the ma
chine got beyond the control of the
driver, swerved and went directly
over the embankment The heavy car
did not turn over as it fell, but land
ed in 20 feet of water. Charles was
struck by the steering wheel and re-
ceived internal injuries which may
prove fatal. A gasoline launch was
near the scene of the accident, and
those on board fastened to rescue the
automobiles.

CLEAN STREETS UNDER GUARD.
New York City Trying to Remove
Rubbish in Spite of Strikers.

New York, July Under a tsrong

of the department Of street cleaning
drivers was instituted was begun
Saturday. Progress was slow, how
ever, the health department, which
now has charge of the work having
much difficulty in hiring men to take
the places of the strikers. Crowds Of
strikers gathered at many points and
bombarded the new men with sticks
and stones, and in some cases went
so far as to pull the drivers from
their seats on the wagons.
The conditions in some OF the side
streets, particularly in the upper East
side, are regarded as extremely seri-
Gus. Great heaps of refuse which
have accumulated since the strike be-
gan are piled up along the curbs, a
menace to the health of thousands in
the crowded sections. So great had
the quantity of rubbish became in
some places Saturday that household
ers built bonfires in the streets to con-

YALE'S CREW Wins
magnificent race
DEFEATS HARVARD BY ONLY A
ScANT BOAT LENGTH IN
FOUR NILES.
e. n. Hartman Arrested-Magnat
Ignores Course Rules and Is Made
Prisoner by President Roosevelts
Naval Aide.

New London, Conn, June 2S.-Be-
fore the largest crowd that ever wit

the Yale crew Thursday evening, row.
ing on an average of four strokes to
the minute less than Harvard, held
the big Cambridge eight even until
the last half mile, when the blue let
out their speed and won a magnifi-
cent contest by scant boat length.
{. II. Hartman Arrested.
The race was accompanied by one
disagreeable incident. This was the
arrest of e. H. Hartman, the rail
road magnate, by Lieut.. Bulmer, Pres
ident Roosevelt's naval aide. Lieut..
Bulmer, who was in charge of the
revenue cutters, had warned every
boat owner not to follow the race.
The big varsity struggle had scarcely
been started when Mr.. Hartman, in
a powerful motor boat, started to fol-
low the race.
Lieut. Bulmer and Chairman
Schweppe, who were aboard the re-
gatta committees boat, the Arrow,
repeatedly warned Mr.. Hartman to
stop his engine and get out OF the
course. Mr. Hartman not only paid
no attention to them, but took posi-
ton right alongside of the referees
boat and held it. Off the navy yard
Lieut.. Bulmer signalled for a launch
and footed the revenue cutter whistle,
which finally caused Mr.. Hartman to
look around.
'You are under arrest, SIR shouted
Lieut.. Bulmer. You will give your
self up to this man, who will take you
aboard the Gresham to await my or
ders."
Mr.. Hartman saw nothing more
of the race, but was detained as any
ordinary prisoner aboard the Gresham
until after the race was over, when
Lieut. Bulmer went aboard the
Gresham and released him, but or
dered his boat tied up at the navy
yard The incident may cost Mr.. Har-
riman fine of $500. This was the
penalty imposed on a yacht owner
at last years race for transgressing
the rules governing the course.
Honors Divided Friday.
New London, Conn, June 29.-Har-
ward won the freshman eight by one
and a half lengths, and Yale the
varsity four-oared race by perhaps
ten lengths on the morning tide on the
Thames river Friday, and the result
confirmed the predictions.
