Children and Candy.

Give children plenty of pure sugar,
Nffy and butter scotch and they'll have
little need of cod liver Oil, says Dr.
Woods Hutchinson in Woman's Home
Companion. In short, sugar is, after
meat. bread and butter, easily our
next most important and necessary
food You can put the matter to a
test very easily Just leave Off the
pie. pudding or other desserts at your
lunch or midday dinner. You'll be as
tonished to find how quickly you'll
feel empty again and how "unfin-
ished' the meal will seem. You can't
get any workingman to accept din
ner pail without pie in it. And he's
absolutely right. The only thing that
can take the place of sugar here is
beer or wine. 1t is significant fact
that the free lunch counters run in
connection with bars furnish every
imaginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to saloons or bars often refuse
to serve desserts Of any sort. They
know their business! The more sugar
and sweets a man takes at meal the
less alcohol he wants. Conversely
nearly every drinking man will tell
you that he has lost his taste For
sweets. The more candy a nation con-
sumes, the less alcohol.

FATHER AND SON DIE TOGETHER
Assassins Pursued and Three of
Them Shot Dead.

How many shots were fired no one
can say, but it was a veritable fusi!-
lade coming from the right side of the
street. The effort of the crown prince
who was sitting opposite to- the king,
to rise, was pitiful and without avail,
for he just lifted himself sufficiently to
pitch forward and fall over the pros
trate body of his father. Queen Aemlie,
uttering a scream that could be heard
by all who had not become frenzied
by he attack, threw heraself towards
her sons, shielding heir bodies with
her own. She frantically struck at TIL
murderers with a bouqet of roses
which she had been carrying, but even
in the face of this the men fired again
and again.
AS he saw his father and his broth
er fal! Prince Manuel whipped out "
revolver and discharged it at the men,
but was himself struck ON the I ght
arm by a bullet from a carbine. \
footman in the carriage also was
wounded. and il was stated that bull
let graZed the queens shoulder, but
did not do her harm.
Only mounted police accompanied the
carriage, as the king had refuse M l.
tary escort. The attack came from the
rear, for it was found afterward that
the king had been shot in the back
of the neck. and it was so entirely I'M
expected that the murderers had emp
tied their carbines and revolyers al
most before the police knew what was
going on, and had turned to flee into
the crowds, that now, panic-stricken,
dropped back before their weapons.

ing them down the streets and Tiddlin.

of the people joined in the pursuit. and
there others of the band of assassins
