and be liable to periodical outbreaks
is therefore not to be wondered at.
Indian voodooism, as practiced after
the fall of the Aztec empire, is really
nothing more than a continuation of
the old Aztec religion, the principal
feature of which was human sacrifice.
The victims of the old Aztec priests
suffered death by having their hearts
torn out Of their bodies by main force.
After the Spanish had succeeded in
stamping out this barbarous practice
the Indian tribes, still adhering to. the
faith of their fathers. though nomi-
nally Christian, took to sacrificing an
inals In the same manner that human
beings had formerly been sacrificed.
and, like all primitive people, thought
to appease their gods best by sacrific-
ing that which was considered most
cherished.
In tearing out the animals heart
the object to-day is to get possession
of the blood contained in it. To this
fluid are ascribed number of miracu-
lous properties of disease combating
nature.
The authorities of this city and
county are in no mood to permit as
noxious practice as voodooism to
flourish under their very noses.
Though number of arrests have
been made. more important clews are
now being followed. and further de-
velopments are anticipated as a result
of the reward offered.
or all people the low-class Mexican
is the least able to withstand the lure
OF money. Every effort will be made
to get the high priest of the cult into
the clutches of the law.
The punishments that will be melted
out will no doubt be such as to make
adherence to voodooism and its at
tendant features very undesirable.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t Is serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grapefruit food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: 81
had suffered with indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach / would wish | never had to
eat anything.
81 was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it / do not have to starve
myself any more, but can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed, dyspepsia is thing of the past,
and l am now strong and well.
MY husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in. the spring Could not
attend to his work He was under
the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
none but words of praise for Grape
Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on it..
am satisfied that 1t is because of
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."
There's a Reason"
1t contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley which combine
with albumen to make the gray mat
ter to daily refill the brain and nerve
centers.
1t Is pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food and
be healthy and get along without med
icine and expense.
Ever read the above letter. A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full OF human
Interest.

The gentle friend of the family was
found to be missing and the instituted
search usually disclosed her body in
the chapparal. G. A. Davis of this
city was one of the first to miss his
valuable Jersey in this manner and
since then others have sustained SINH
lar losses.
The odd feature of the case was
that nothing but the hide and the
heart of the animal were missing At

had been killed for their skins, but

offer of substantial reward has now

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in it's
behalf were fully proven. First of
all. as regards cheapness, the White

being poured into the fuel tank while

crowd stood by with lighted cigars

tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter

examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly the

Vainly Seek Health in Southwest.

According to a statement of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis fully 7,lS0
persons hopelessly diseased with
tuberculosis annually come to die in
the states of California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and Colorado, most of
them by order of their physicians. The
statement which is based upon the
testimony of well-known experts, and
all available statistics. shows that at
least so per cent of those who go to
the southwest every year for their
health are so far advanced in their
disease that they cannot hope for a
cure in any climate. under any cir
cumstances. More than this, at least
60 per cent. of these advanced cases
are so poor that they have not suffi-
cient means to provide for the proper
necessaries of life, which means that
4,315 consumptives are either starved
to death or forced to accept charitable
relief every year.

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was UNI
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars
Therefore, it would have been impos
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened bolt without
the fact being noted and penalty in
f,icted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White SO that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring n damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
flicted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score"
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in couple OF
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that it is
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that
the demand for their new steam cars
both the s2000-model and the
| 000-model-exceed their most san
guine expectations. 1t is evident that
the combination of steam-the pow
err which everyone understands and
has confidence in with kerosene
