toll gate just beyond the railroad
crossing when three negroes stepped
out from the side of the road ard

All of the negroes were armed, and
warned Burton that he had better not

One Of the negroes stepped up to
him, and poking a revolver In his
face, made him hold his hands above
his head, while the other Two went
through his pockets.
The negroes then started running
in the direction of Washington. A
description OF the highWaymen was
telephoned to Police Headquarters,
and police of all the precincts were
notified to maintain a lookout for the
trio.

4 Barometer Which Never FaIls
Though Seldom Believed.

Taste is the direct guide to the
stomach; and the taste buds are con-
nected by the nerves with the stom-
ach itself, so that they represent Its
health or disorder. IL the stomach Or
les juices are out OF tone. the blood Is
termented by a change in the alkaline
or acid condition, and these reach the
mouth both directly and indirectly.
The taste buds are In the tongue,
and are mounted by hairlike projec-
tons called papillae: they cover the
surface OF the tongue"
When you taste these buds rise up
and absorb the liquid; inform the
nerves; the nerves tell the stomach,
and the food is acceptable or not, Just
as the stomach feels
