Care In Preparing Food.

10 recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas.

laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi.
nently as perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment Of these laws as It
could possibly be is Quaker Oats
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company

that has satisfactorily solved the prob.
lem of removing the husks and black

ton, one of the best known hotel pro-
prietors in this part of the state. was
shot and wounded MORALLY on the
street the other afternoon by an ex-
convict, discharged recently from Sing
Sing, named McSorley. Fenton was
member of the jury which convicted
McSorley of the crime for which he
was sent to prison. Both are dead.
Fenton was so years old on August
s and entertained a party Of friends at
luncheon. At that time he told the
story of his life. Among the incidents
he mentioned that he had sat upon
the jury which had convicted a man
named McSorley, for which McSorley
was sentenced to a long term in the
state prison.
A stranger Of handsome appearance
entered the cafe of Fenton's hotel and
after taking a drink of whisky asked
IL Mr.. Fenton was around. The clerk
said he had just stepped out The
stranger said he would call again.
He went down the street. Later the
stranger retraced his steps to the
Hotel Elberton. Just before he
reached the hotel Fenton stepped out
of the door and walked up the street.
The stranger followed him.

ried her into the next room. Then,
releasing her, he turned up the lights
and. passing to the windows, threw

"And now" said the criminal in a

He removed his overcoat and hat,
throwing them over the back of con-

thoughtfully across his chin, and,
standing at little distance, regarded
the girl with a shadow of saturnine
smile sottening the hard line Of his
lips.
She stood where he had left her, as
IL volition was no longer hers. Her
arms hung slack at her sides and she
was swaying a trifle, her face vacant,
eyes blank: very near the breaking

Avoid Round Shoulders.

Are you letting yourself sag a bit
at the shoulders? Don't, IL you want
to keep either young or well. There is
nothing so fatally easy as to grow
round-shouldered. Keep sharp
watch on yourself to prevent It. Each
morning stand up against the jamb
of door and see II you have begun
to sag. Also walk around your room
each day with a piece of broomstick
or short umbrella under your arm and

disease; it was from not eating green
apples in the season of them.
This boy whose name was Solomon,
before he died, would rather split up
kindlingwood for his mother than go

he was kept at splitting kindlingwood

by day. solomon would not disobey
