A Healthy Person Neeos a Good
Breakfast.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, iconoclast-
in-ordinary to the medical profession,
as usual upsets our previous IDEAS OIL
bodily health in an article in Wo-
mans Home Companion for August
Doctor Hutchinson has faculty for
restoring to us our self-respect and
assuring us that, left alone, we are
not such idiots, after all. In this par
ticular article, for instance, he points
out that the idea of eating little IN
the summertime is fallacy. VI
breakfast, for instance, he says:
1T is customary to make the hrst
meal of the day slightly the lightest
and distinctly the plainest and simp-
lest of the three. If there be any de-
ficiency of the appetite, breakfast is
the meal at which this is most likely
to show itself But this lack of APP
petite is in nine cases out of ten
clearly traceable to sleeping in an I'M
ventilated room or to late hours III
foul air the night before, or to insult
ficient exercise the proceeding day,
and is no indication that the body
really requires less food at this time
Perfectly healthy men who sleep VITA
their WINDOWS open anu 81 ~ 80 -
a reasonable hour will tell you that
they enjoy their breakfast as well as
any other meal of the day, and many
even call it their best meal.
Another popular delusion in regard
to lightness and unimportance OF the
breakfast is that widespread subter-
fuge. the continental breakfast con-
sisting of a cup of coffee and some
fruit or a single roll. This is very
pretty breakfast as far as it goes, but
it doesn't go far; and the sole basis
for it's adoption on the continent Is
that it is only intended as temper
airy tide-over, until the real breakfast
of meat. eggs. fish, with beer or wine
which is taken at about ten or eleven
O'Clock, like a very early luncheon.
IL YOU haven't got a good appetite Tor
breakfast, make it your business to go
and get one, instead of allowing your
self to be blinded by this morbid state
of affairs and deciding that all you
really need is a cup of coffee and
rool or an orange or pun of break
fast-bran."

KILLED WIFE WITH ToMAHAwk
Robert &. Tanning Then Blew Out
Brains at Police Station

New Bedford, Mass, July 27.-Way-
laying his wife on a lonely country
road and striking her down with an
old Indian tomahawk, Robert e. Fan
ming of Westport fled to his home,
wrote a startling letter to the chief of
police at New Bedford, in which he
blessed his dead wife, drove to New
Berford, delivered the letter to the
central police station, and then in the
presence of three police officers blew
out his brains, dying almost instant
ly. Tanning literally hacked his wife
to death with the tomahawk, which
he had dug from the grave of an old
Indian chief near here. Fanning's
crime was caused by drink Five
years ago Tanning, a man in moder-
ate circumstances, met Tina Hall, the
beautiful daughter of George Hall, the
wealthiest man in Westport, enjoying
an income of $4,000 a year.
Mrs. Tanning was a reigning beauty
For two years they lived happily.
Then Tanning began to drink and
there were frequent quarrels. The
birth of a baby girl failed to heal the
breach
Sunday the couple had a violent
quarrel and Mrs. Tanning in alarm
fed to the home of George Trip,
miller, half mile distant. She left
Trips house at $3.50 o'clock Sunday
night to return to her own home, but
never arrived alive. Tanning way
laid her on the west side of Lyons
brook and beat her to death with the
tomahawk, hiding her body in the
bushes, where it was found horribly
mangled.
Then Tanning wrote an eight-page
letter to the New Bedford chief of
police outlining the crime. which he
attributed to drink. He blessed the
memory of the woman he had muir
dered and asked that their child
should be well provided for.
Tanning then entered his automo-
bile and drove to garage in this
city, where he left his car, and walk
ed to the central police station. He
was greatly excited when he walked
up to Police Lieutenant Comstock's
desk, shortly after l 80 O'Clock yes
terday morning He steadied himself
sufficiently to ask Lieutenant Com
stock to read the letter. The officer
perused a part of the contents and
then turned to Tanning What do
you want me to do about this?" Fan
ming laconically answered: Just
this" and drew a revolver, the muz-
zle of which he placed in his mouth
Lieutenants Comstock and Wing and
a private policeman rushed toward
Tanning, but before they could reach
him he had pulled the trigger and
sent bullet into his brain, dying in
stantly.

WORST POLITICAL
RIOT IN MEXICO
IN YEARS
Anti-Diaz Mob Breaks Up
Speech-Making
TWO PERSONS KILLED
Two Americans Among the Score of
lnjured-20o Arrests
Made

Mexico City, July 27.-More than
200 arrests were made, score or
more persons were injured, including
two Americans, and two were killed
in political riots in Guadalajara Sun
day and Monday night.
TIE American consul has appealed
for aid FEDERAL troops and police are
now on the scene and the latest re-
ports say the situation Is quieter.
Many buildings were wrecked with
stones, and some American property
was slightly damaged.
The riots started Sunday afternoon
when mob broke up a meeting in
Delgado theater called in the inter
est of Porfrio DiaZ, the president,
and Ramon Corral, vice president, for
reelection. TIE orators were stoned
in the street cars, carriages and auto
mobiles, in which they rode, and
these were partially wrecked.
In one section a barricade was
erected and many shots were ex-
changed Six foot and two mounted
police were wounded All the plate

glass windows in the downtown sec
ton We're smashed.
Louis Roias, a prominent DiaZ adj
herent and a well known lawyer was
badly wounded.
The police charged the crowd re-
peatedly, but were repulsed. State
troops were called out and a number
of volleys were fired in the air vita
out effect. Some members of the
mob erected a barricade on one of
the side streets, and shots were ex-
changed between them and the sol
diers. Six mounted gendarmes and
Two policemen were wounded. A boy.
four years old, is said to have been
killed
The political speakers who are
campaigning in the interest of Diaz
and Corral were hooted on their way
TO the theater, where tne meeting was
to be held
At the theatre the crowds refused
to allow a single orator to speak,
drowning their voices with yells and
driving them from the stage by hurl-
ing paper wads and an occasional
stone.
The rito was the most serious that
has occurred in Mexico in years and
is looked on as significant by those
who have closely followed the politi.
cal situation. The official press says
that it was planned and carried out
by the democratic party, known as
the Reyista party from the name OF
its candidate for vice-president, Gen.
Fernando Reyes. formerly minister of
war'in Diaz's cabinet and now COVER
nor of Neuvo Leon.
Guadalajara is the second city of
the republic and is ranked as the
most beautiful. There is large
American colony here. The headquar-
tiers for the extension of the South
Pacific railroad through Mexico is sit
mated there, the city being the termi-
nal point of the line.

BOOTS AND SHOES
MUST GO DOWN
WITH HIDES
Lower Rates on Finished Leaf
her or Agreement Is OF
ALDRICH WITH WESTERNERS
Takes Position That Consumer VIII
Gain Nothing Unless Rates are
Lowered on Finished Product

Washington, July 27.-Hides wiWse
put on the free list If boots Lnd
shoes and other manufactures of lea
ther are reduced below the rates
fixed by the House bill. Unless the
advocates of free hides are able to
carry out this bargain the whole pro
gram is to be called OF.
Senator Aldricn has informed sena-
tors from northwestern states that he
will not consent to the abolition OF
the duty on hides unless there Is q
material cut in the rates on boots
and shoes and other leather goods. In
no other way, he said, can he get the
votes necessary for the adoption or
the report in the Senate II it carries
free hides. Senators from cattle rails
ing states have insisted that the only
way consumers can get any benefits
from the removal of protection on
hides would be by corresponding re-
auctions In the duties on boots and
shoes and harnesses. The Rhode
Island senator's views coincide with
this statment.
Senator Warren said yesterday that
the Western senators would not be
representing their states IL they were
to consent to the abolition Of the duty
on hides in the interest OF the manu-
features of shoes and other leather
goods unless manufacturers in New
England and other Eastern states are
compelled to concede lower rates on
leather products. While the Western
senators take the position that the re-
moval of the duty on hides will be in
furious to the cattle business some of
them say they will withdraw their
protests, because of the insistence OF
President Taft, II reductions are
made throughout the leather sche-
dule

Official Statement That Movement Is

in Africa

Madrid, July 27.-Fighting between
the Spanish forces under Gen. Mar
ina and Moorish tribesmen was re-
sumed outside of Melilla Monday
night.
Gen. Linares, minister of war, in an
interview announced taat the mobili-
cation of Spanish troops would soon
reach $4,000 thereby bringing Gen.
Marina's effective force up to 10000
men, but on account of the extent of
the territory on the Riff coast to be
covered he considered it doubtful
whether that number would suffice,
and consequently the formation of
new brigades would continue.
The Madrid newspapers have been
notified that hereafter they will not
be allowed to print special dispatch
es from the seat of war until their
accuracy has been confirmed by the
general staff. Foreign correspondents

men are up in arms over the more

in which they nold important posi-

The plan appears to be shaping up

have their positions made so uncom-
