Niagara Falls Ice Bound.

Only tiny rivulet. not deep nor swift
enough to carry n pulp log over the
brink Is flowing over the American
side OF Niagara Falls. A strong north
east wind. which has blown since Fri.
day. has held back the water and al.
lowed the Ice TO gain n foothold.
A great wall OF ice runs from the
head OF Goat island 20 the American
mainland. through which only tiny
streams are able to trickle. This wall
has even encroachsd ON the Canadian
channel, extending out some zoo feet
beyond the third Sister island and
greatly diminishing thu aow over the
Horseshoe. Only the very apex OF the
Canadian fall is left and that is robbed
OF half its dow. The gorge below Is
ehoked and the rapids have lost their
fury. while the whirlpool is barely In
motion.
This is only the third time that this
combination OF wind and ice has thus
Affected the falls since the white man
came here. The other occasions we're
on March 2s. 1s4s. and March %, 1908.

The appearance of the complexion
is greatly Influenced by the food we
eat. AS general thing il is more
beneficial 10 take fruit with the meal
or just before II than IL is after. Fruit
is an essential part of the diet, but Il
is not complete diet IN itself. II
aids various forms of secretion which
prove most beneficial to the digestion.
II has a nutritious bulk which pre-
vents one from overlooking the stom-
ach with heavier and less easily di.
gested foods. When fruit is eaten as a
first course for breakfast one is not
so likely to overeat when the pan
cakes with syrup and eggs appear. A
healthy breakfast consists OF fruit as
a first course and crisp toast and a
nutritious cereal. Oats lead the
cereals in food value Preparations
made from this grain are really the
best and cheapest in the end. al
though a lighter cereal. such as corn
or wheat, is often more desirable in
hot weather.

HOLOCAUST in
MEXICAN THEATRE
Between ESQ and 800 People
Burned to Death.
FILM CAUSED DISASTER

Soon choked by Persons Crushed to
Death - Scores Of Others Were
Roasted Alive.
Between $50 and 300 people were
burned to death and many were IN
tured in a fire which destroyed the
Flores theater in the city of AGA,
pulco, Mexico. Sunday night
The Flores theater was a wooden
structure. and over 1000 people crowd.
ed into it to witness a special perform
ance siven in honor of Governor Da.
milan Flores, of the state of Guerro.
One OF the numbers OF the program
consisted OF a series OF moving pic
lures. While the operator was exhib-
ting these a film caught fire, and the
blaze was quickly communicated TO
some bunting which had been used
for decorative PURPOSES. In an incredE
bly, short time the flames had spread
to all parts OF the structure. There
were three narrow exits. and the panic
stricken audience rushed to them.
many falling. to be crushed to death.
their bodies choking the way OF escape
to others.
The screams OF those imprisoned
were terrifying. Owing to the rapidly
with which the Are spread and its In.
tense heat 1t was impossible TO at.
tempt rescue work. and those impris.
oned were literally roasted alive, as
the fire burned with little smoke and
few were suffocated. The efforts Of
the fire department were confined 20
attempting 20 save the adjoining
buildings. and they succeeded. The
telegraph Office. postofics and custom
house were damaged. but all OF the
government records and registered
mail was saved.
Pitiful scenes OF grief are being en-
acted on the streets OF the little west
coast port. Men, women and children
are wandering from place to place I'm
their search for relatives or friends.
Many of the dead are from the first
families OF the state. the arrair at the
theater being a social event Of consid.
cradle Importance and calling out the
wealthiest and oldest families for miles
around. In some instances entire fam.
HES were wiped out OF existence. The
municipal authorities caused large
trenches TO be dug. and into these the
remains OF the dead were laid.
