Arrested for Alleged Theft of
Roll From Wagon.

Jacob Goldman, the grocer on Ninth
street, was arrested this >morning on
a charge of taking 500 from the seat
of the wagon belonging to Fred Layer
a truck gardener from South Rock
Island. Layer drove into the city to
sell his vegetables and stopped at
Goldman's store. Goldman went out
to the wagon to see the vegetables
and while on the wagon, Layer
claimed, Goldman took the roll of
money which was concealed on the
seat. After visiting several other
places Layer missed the money and
at once suspected Goldman whom he
claims was the only one on the wagon.
The case was continued until next
Friday and Goldman was released on
$500 bonds.

quest this afternoon.
The elevator, the shaft of which the
child stumbled into. is used mainly for
freight, though not infrequently Gus
toners are taken from one floor to an
other on it, as was the case this morn
ing. There was no protection at the
rear to prevent the child from falling
through the space between the plat
form and the wall. Just how the boy
could have fallen so as to pass clear
through the hole is difficult to under
stand, for the open space is not more
than six inches in width.

A freak in vegetable growth has

which grew in the garden of Martin
Herzog, Tyrone cigarmaker, and was
sent to Harrisburg by Representative
Thompson o. Blair county. The radish
is six inches long and so closely re.
sembles the human form that at a
glance it would be taken for a newly
born babe. 1t is marked so as to re.
semble the eyes, nose, mouth, neck.

Food and Air,

Food sense is still hampered with
fads, but it is becoming science and
custom. No qualified authority is
ready to say that a meat diet can with
the best results be abandoned. What
the qualified men do say is that far
less heterogeneous food than is usually
consumed in America suffices for nu-
triton and is better for general
health, showing it's benefit in longev.
ity. Science will not say that slow
and thorough mastication will stop
disease or perfect digestion, but it Is
peremptory in advising a mastication
as thorough as the proper appetite for
food permits. Too much holding of
food in the mouth may cause dislike
or Indifference, and the proper di.
gestive action depends upon enjoy.
ment. Human beings can live a long
time in bad atmospheric conditions,
but we know positively that oxygena.
tion Of the blood is indispensable, and
that fresh air Is remedial agent of
more potency than ten years ago we
faDcied.
