Vitality and Food.
From Nautilus.

IOtH Nuuthuc.
The relation of food to vitality has not
until recently, been given very much
thought. Most Of us have unthinkingly
accepted established ideas on the subject.
and have felt that we must eat to sus-
tain life, andsthat to have more abound
ing vitality we must eat more abundant
ly. We have believed life to be a matter
OF food and food combinations chemically
considered. and vitality to be q direct
product OF good digestion and perfect
assimilation. And so, to the superficial
observer, It seems, and II IL not surprising
that is. not very surprising. We notice
the great vitality of one who has perfect
digestion and II is readily deducible that
therefore digestion and assimilation OF
foods produce vitality. Inductively rea-
soning. one would be constrained to say
that good digestion was the result OF un-
impaired vitality. but inductive reasoning
Is not a highly developed faculty OF the
ordinary mind. On the other hand. We
see one OF low vitality and deduce read
fly that he is so because OF poor diges-
ton and faulty assimilation. 1nductively
we would reason UP to the fact that the
poor digestion and mal-assimilation were
the results OF an impaired vitality

HARTFORD, Conn, November 16-The
gruesome tale of q suicide pact, which In
its fulfllment cost the life Of Blanche Fer

her companion, Fred ]. Reid Of Cleveland.
was told here by Reid at a hearing be-
fore the chief Of police. Though the cou-
pie had known each other only two weeks.
they had made two attempts to die. ac-
cording to Reid. The night OF their ar
rival here they drank the contents Of a
phial of morphine. This being without
the desired effect. Reid had the bottle re-
filled. and the couple spent their last
money in decorating their death chamber
with white flowers. Then they drank the
mixture. and lay down to sleep what they
hoped would be their last sleep: The girl
never awoke. Reid was saved by prompt
medical attention
CHASTITY white and emaciated from the
effects Of the drug, Reid denied that ne
handed the poison to the girl. He helped
himself, and she did the same. he de-
clared. As a result OF the story told by
Reid, the police say It is their belief that
he was prompted 20 make an attempt
upon his life by remorse and because he
had used money belonging to his en-
ployer. This money, according to Reid.
was TO be used in paying workmen under

The body of the woman was sent to TEL.
