CHICKENS IN
DIG PUNCHES
STOLEN FROM MANY BOOSTS,
AND WHITE MAN NAMED KELLY
WAS JAILED ON SUSPICION OF
HAVING PURLoINED THEM.

During the past week many hen
roosts in New City have been robbed
and last night Sheriff Van Pelt ar
rested a white man named Kelly for
the stealing. It appeared ehat Kelly
was fortunate in having upon his ped
ding wagon more choice chickens
than the other peddIers. One man
whose chicken roost had been de-
pleted strangely during a single night
stopped at a certain store on North
Palafox street near the city limits
and wanted to buy chickens exposed
for sale. He was surprised when
able to identify many oe his own
fowls in the coop. An investigation
wac launched and the statement
reached the sheriff that Kelly had
supplied the store. Kelly maintained.
it was also told the sheriff, that his
place near Ferry Pass had more than
200 head of chickens on it. This was
seriously doubted, and the investiga-
ton was made. Not q chick was
found. Kelly, it was alleged, contin-
ued to supply the store, and as he
could give no satisfactory explanation
he was arrested charged with grand
larceny.

sIeepv Grass of New Mexico.

While making a trip through the
southwestern part of New Mexico
Herbert W. Wolcott of Alamogordo'
N. NJ, found a grass from which he
believes a narcotic may be extracted
which will take the place OF o
now known to medicine.
THE grass is known as sleepy
grass to the natives of New Mexico
near the Apache reservation SAID
Mr.. Wolcott. Cattle and horses Will
eat it the first time they see It. 1t
makes them fall to the ground In
their tracks and lie III a state OF coma
for two days. When they wake up
thew have no Ill effects from the Cpl
ate. But they will never eat 1t again;
in fact they will run away If 1t Is Of
fered to them.
This sleepy grass is not to be
confused with the loco weed. The
grass is a real grass, not unlike the
Kentucky blue grass in appearance.
The loco weed is a plant and bears a
flower. Horses and cattle become loco
fends and are worthless after tasting
the deadly stuff"

HEALTHY MEN ARISE HUNGRY

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, iconoclast

as usual upsets our previous ideas OF
bodily health in an article In Wom-

son has a faculty for restoring to US
our s~elf-respect, and assuring us that,
left alone, we are not such idiots,
after all. In this particular article,
for instance, he points out that the
idea Of eating little in the summer
time is fallacy. OF breakfast, for in
stance, he says:
ut is customary to make the first
meal of the day slightly the lightest
and distinctly the plainest and simplest
Of the three. If there be any def
cheney of the appetite breakfast is
the meal at which this is most likely
to show itself. But this lack OF ap-
petite is in nine cases out of ten
clearly traceable to sleeping in an
unventilated Don or to late hours
in foul air the night before or to in
sufficient exercise the preceding day,
and is no indication that the body

Perfectly healthy 1nen who sleep with
their windows open acd go to bed at
a reasonable hour will tel 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 re-

lance Of the breakfast is that wide
! spread subterfuge, q continental
| breakfast consisting of a cup OF
| coffee and some fruit or a single roll.
This is a very pretty breakfast as
far as it goes, but it doesn't go far;
and the sole basis for its adoption on
the continent is that it is only intend

will prove a great boon to the med

American consul at Bucharest, Rou-

by an eminent physician.
It is composed Of ~strychnine and

cent that it car be used in major op-
erations and not applied locally.
The drug is infused into the system
