SUSPECTED MAN
PROVES AN ALIB1
BY United Press Wire.

Seven Oaks, Eng, Sept 2O-Diardt
Woodrow, was arrafgned in court
here today on charge of having
murdered General Luard, the mys-
terry of whose death several months
ago under the wheels of a train has
never been cleared. Woodrow plead
ed not guilty and proved an alibi.
He was discharged, the court inti-
mating that the police had not even
revealed any grounds for the arrest.
Woodrow was arrested at Maid
stone Saturday after having served
four months in the workhouse for an
attempt to assassinate poorhouse
official. 1t was generally believed
that General Luard committed suicide
following the mysterious shooting to
death of his wife in woods near
their home. His friends have always
contended that he was murdered, and
his body thrown on the railway
tracks.

WOMEN IN TROUSERS.

The idea of woman in trousers
seems TO be the most horrible that the
modern civilized mind can conjure up.

PLAINTIFF CLAIMS He
HAS WON HIS POINTS
Difference of Opinion in the
Wilson Divorce Case
Local Representatives Have Re-
ceived Different Versions OF the
Case In Goldheld.

Attorney Charles II. Conley Satur-
day received a message from Earle r.,
Wilson, stating that the court had
heard two motions in his suit against
his wife Estelle Wilson, in which he
seeks divorce and had ruled for the
plaintiff in both motions. The de-
fendant introduced a motion to make
more definite and certain the petition
and a motion for temporary alimony
and counsel fees. Wilson claims TO
have been successful In stopping his
wife from securing an allowance for
temporary alimony and counsel fees
and also from being required TO
amend his petition.
Attorneys Mouser and Moloney and
II. N. Quigley, who represent Mrs
Wilson have had no word from
Goldheld. in regard to the decision
of the court. They claim, however,
that Wilson's attorneys, agreed to
Introduce only such evidence as was
relevant TO the specific charges made
in the petition. which is practically
a victory for the defendant they say

up for trial early In the winter

WHAT TO EAT IN THE WOODS.

As q rule the camper or traveller
in the wilderness will make q great
mistake IL he eats too much meat. or
course, II he be right out In the wilds,
where the game is Just begging to
be shot and eaten, Il is hard to re-
sist the temptation to "kill and eat
but n little experiment will prove that
certain proportion of the other pro-
teid foods will give peter results,
both as regards muscular powers and
heat production, than meat. OF course
such vegetables and fruits as are OBJ
tainable should be eaten freely.
AS oil woodsmen know, the dietetic
standby of the wilderness dweller,
whether he be camper. tramper. or
lumberman, is beans-ordinary dry

so as to make up a properly bal

cannot be obtained pilot bread and
other crackers which Il is possible
nowadays to get in large variety, are
n partial substitute. Some of the
nut foods now on the market are at
once portable, palatable, and nour-
ishing, but II must be understood that
these are proteid foods to be used IN
stead of meat, beans or peas, and al
ways in very moderate quantities.
Lentils (dried) are another proteiu
food which Is easily carried and nu-
tritious. .----.-.- .t-... -.
Salted "corned," or otherwise pre-
served meats are OF little value from
any standpoint. The same preserva-
tives which prevent these meats from
undergoing chemical change outside
the body will also preserve them from
the normal chemical
change which we call digestion inside
the body. This, of course, appIes
equally to canned meats, which the
dweller in the wilderness will, soon
or or later. find to be a delusion and |
a snare.
Canned vegetables are OF some
