raw food! The first question they
ask Is. How can you eat raw meat ?"
But the uncooksd food devotees eat
no flesh: theS find their health is
vastly better without 1t, and 20 they
live on all manner of uncooked things
that are really marvelously tempt
ing. The raw-food people never have
colds, fevers. stomach trouble, torpid
nvers, nervousness or a lot Of COM
mon. everyday ailments that the out
of-date. ordinary cooked food eater
has.
The amount that raw FODDER eats
at a meal Is small He Il quickly III
cd. The reason In that the stomach
seems to know when Il hes had
enough of the elemental things from
which It draws its strength. and teie-
graphs the fact to the taste. and the
eater finds himself satisdsd. On the
other hand, with cooked food he goes
on eating and eating, and the stom-
ach delays its message. al 1t has to
receive q vast bulk OF stun. largely
waste matter, because OF the life be-
sing cooked out OF the food by IRE.
Raw onions are esteemed highly
as q cleanser OF the system ~ well

onion IL blended into things 30 subtly

that Mr.. White, during the recent leg
Iative caucus, told colleague
named John Quincy Adams, of Ok
tibbeha county, that he could get ST.,
200 for his vote, and would be a foo
if he didn't take it.

White, who signed the affidavit
charging criminal libel. Wade will
have to go to Prentiss county to stand

RUSSIAN POLICE find
Big MURDER MYSTERY
fBu Associated PreSS.)

st. Petersburg, June THE mystic
rion death of young and wealthy
army officer, County Bouturtin, has
led to the discovery of an extensive
murder agency. Bauturtin's brother
in.law. Count de Lassy, and his physi-
clan. DR.. Patchenko, who attended
Bouturtin at de Lassy's suggestion,
are both under arrest. DR.. Patchenko
has confessed to the police that he
inoculated Bouturtin with cholera
bacilli. He further admitted that he
poisoned other wealthy persons in a
similar manner during the recent
cholera epidemic, under pretense of
inoculating them against the disease.
For this work he was paid huge sums
by relatives of the victims.
BY a strange coincidence the mur-
der of a wealthy Polish land owner
named Krjanowsky, at Warsaw, led to
the arrest of his brother-in-law, Count
Roniker, who, it turns out, is connect
ed with de Lassy.

RAILROAD BILL
UP IN The HOUSE
Chairman Mann, Of interstate Com
merce Committee, Moved to Non
Concur in Senate Amendment.
fBg Associated Presso


Washington, June THE railroad
bill was taken up by the House soon
after that body convened today. Chair
man Mann, of the Committee on In
terstate Commerce, moved to non
cur in the senate amendment, and to
ask for a conference. The motion re-
quiring unanimous consent, Represen-
tative Lenroot, one of the Republican
insurgents, objected.
President Taft today sent special
message to congress, in which he rec
omemnded that the clause in the new
railroad bill which gives the inter
state commerce commission power to
investigate and suspend increased
rates filed by railroads be modified SO
as to take effect Immediately upon the
signing of the act AS it stands in
the bill, it would not take eeffct for
sixty days.
The president bases his request up
on an agreement he reached with the
railroads yesterday whereby they
agreed to withdraw all increased rates
until the new law is signed.
