in the business college here, was pur-
suing his studies, he suddenly became
violently insane and had to be re-
moved from the building by force.

with the boy was when he commenced
tearing out his hair. becoming rapidly
violent after that. When brought be-
fore the examining board it was found
that the case was q serious one.
Roaderick was accordingly taken to
the asylum at Hastings

MAKING SUNSHINE
lt % Often Found In Pure Food.

The improper selection of food
drives many healthy person into the
depths of despairing illness. Indeed,
much sickness comes from wrong food
and just SO surely as that is the case
right food will make the sun shine

All solid food distressed me so that

Il had terrible night sweats, and my

all hope. We were at Old Orchard,
Me-, at that time and my wife saw
Grape-Nuts in grocery there. She
bought some and persuaded me to
try it
Il had no faith in it, but took it to
please her. To my surprise it did not
distress me as all other food had done
and before I had taken the fifth pack

and I gained weight rapidly

WrestIes With Murder Case.

Minden, Neb.-Arguments IN the
Bert Taylor murder case ended Wed
nesday and the case was given to the
jury at noon.
In the closing argument the defense
made a strong plea for a term Of life
imprisonment fer their client. 1t was
admitted that Taylor was guilty of the
crime he is accused of, but intoxica-
ton and temporary insanity were CIV
en- as reasons for the jury to return
a life sentence instead of the death
penalty. A life sentence was all the de-
tense asked.
The state demanded the death PEN
atty. The attorneys claimed that the
enormity of the crime would not be
satisfied by a life sentence.
It Is now generally believed that the
jury will consider the merits of the
case for several hours before giving its
verdict, since it has apparently to
decide only between imprisonment for
life, or the death penalty.
