Advice by an energetic, efficient
business man to q tired man now 60
Ing back to work after a rest spell:
Take things easier and get more
fresh air. No worry. Do the most
important thing first and then the
next. Generally, the things you don't
do aren't worth doing. What you
think you ought to do you want to
do up to the handle and do it quick
and then forget it. Don't putter The
way to get along, in my Judgment is
to work up to the limit for a certain
limited number Of hours and then stop.
A man can get further in the long run
walking three and a half miles an
hour for eight hours out of each "a
than he can going two miles an hour
for Is hours in "a The first way he
can keep going and improve; the last
way he will deteriorate and finally
have to quit"

ETHEL LENEVE FREED.
Companion of DR.. Crippen Acquitted
of Charge.

London--After a trial lasting but
a few hours, in the New Bailey Grim
inal court, a jury found Ethel Clare
Leneve net guilty as an accessory
after the fact in the murder Of Cora
Belle Crippen, for whose death Doctor
Crippen will die on the gallows No
vember g.
Il was fer love of Miss Leneve that
DR.. H. H. Crippen, now under death
sentence, murdered his wife. The
crown counsel, Richard Muir, failed
to show that Miss Leneve had knowl,
edge of either the Americans inten-
ton or of the crime itself
No witnesses were called by the de-
Tense. Immediately upon the conclu
sion of the speech of Miss Leneve's
attorney, F. E. Smith, Justice Alver-
stone delivered his charge to the jury
and they retired, returning in twenty,
two minutes with a verdict of &C
quittal.
Miss Leneve's slim, girlish figure
was the center of interest as she stood
before the bar and, IN a sweet, low
voice, replied to the courts interroga-
ton as to how she would plead:
Not guilty, lay lord"
BarriSter Arthur Newton appeared
as chief counsel for the girl. After
Ethel left the prison van which had
brought her from Btxton Jail. police
men had to use force to make q path
for her through the mob Of curious
women.
In summing up the case and in
structing the jury, Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone said:
The whole point in the case
amounts to this: Did Ethel Leneve
know that Crippen was murderer?
Nobody ought to judge woman
harshly because she has fallen from
the path Of virtue, nor must you allow
Crippen's wickedness to blind your
eyes and prejudice you in this case"
Analysing the facts in the case, the
Judge pointed out that it was unlikely
Crippen would have told any one OF
nis crime.
1T is highly unlikely that if Grip
pen told no one else Of his crime he
would tell of the murder to the wom
an he wanted to marry" said the
court. The wearing Of Belle Ell
mores clothing and jewelry by Miss
Leneve would have been inconsistent
with a guilty knowledge CT the crime.
You must not convict anyone on sus-
picion, but upon facts" concluded the
court and the jury retired.

Selerno, was killed by an electric
shcch while telegraphing the news of
the disaster to other points.
At Tore de Greco the roof of a
building was blown off and the floors,
collapsing, carried sailor and his
wife and child into the cellar and the
woman was killed
The disaster appears to have come
Ia the forn1 Of cyclone, having three
centers, the first over the island CT
Ischia, the second over the town of
Torre del Greco on the east coast of
he Bay OF Naples, and the third sweep
Ing the gulf Of Salerno.
Accompanying the cyclone were a
cloudhurst, g tidal wave and violent
from a crater suddenly opened On the
summit of the long extinct Mount Epo-
meo on the island of Ischia.
Ischia and the adjacent islands suf-
tered most.
Many houses collapsed In this city,
due to the subsistence of the surface of
the earth during the recent volcanic
eruptions, and thirty feet CT mud COW
ers many of the roads il. the outlying
districts.
Next to the loss at Ischia the great
est damage was done in the towns of
Portici, Tore del Greco. Resina, Anal
f, Sorrento, Maori. Ravello, Angri.
Pcntecagnano, Cetara and Montecor-
vino.
When the cyclone was at its height
enormous hailstones fell and huge
rocks detached from the mountain
peaks came tumbling down. Some OF
these must have weighed several tolls.
One measured 80 cubic wards.

The buying of foodstuffs by weight
is being agitated as a plan to affect
the cost-of-living problem in favor Of
the housewife and enable her to come
nearer getting the worth of her money.
If it will do either, or both, it should
be adopted without delay, providing
it entails no incidental hardship that
would offset its benefits. But would
such plan produce these results?
Theoretically, one Is inclined to an
swer yes, for it does seem that one
would be paying for what he got by
buying by weight and not measure, or
article, says the Omaha Bee. Yet in
places where the plan has been in
vogue has it accomplished this7 Cali
fornia has always bought by weight
even potatoes, fruit-nearly every
thing in the edible line-and yet the
people of California have been caught
by the Notwithstanding wave along
with the rest of us. In Cuba, it is
said, the plan works with good results
it being applied even more thoroughly
there than in California. Eggs are
bought by the pound in Cuba and the
American advocates Of the plan pro-
pose that we buy eggs the same way.

PHILADELPHIA AMERICANS
WIN TIE WORLDS SERIES
Defeat the Chicago Nationals Before
Record Crowd and Are the
Champions for 1910.

Chicago. = Johnny King batted
the ball swiftly across the dia-
mond. Barry, the Athletics short
stop, scnoped it up, ran to second
base and touched the bag with his
foot. Then, holding the ball in his
hand, he leaped wildly across the
field, shouting joyously.
The Philadelphia Athletics had in
that instant become the winners of
the worlds baseball championship for
the season of 1910. For Barry had
earned the last put-out of the fourth
game of the world championship Sc
RES by a score Of to 2.
At the deciding contest one of the
largest crowds that ever attended a
ball game in Chicago-27,374-was
present, and up to the eighth gave one
of the rarest exhibitions of roofing"
ever witnessed in this city. When
Chicago scored in the second inning
the fans" went wild and when the
Quaker City men took the lead in the
fifth the crowd begged and pleaded
with their favorites to come back
and win out. But, after the fatal
eighth, when Philadelphia scored FIVE
runs, they sat back in their seats and
watched, silently, the work of the
Youthful machine triumph ever the
veterans whom they had regarded as
unbeatable.
1t was the eighth inning that proved
the downfall for Chicago's aspirations
for the premiership Of 1910. Coombs
hit hot one to Chance, but the latter
was unable to field it In time TO put
the runner out He was forced at sec
ond by Hartsel The latter stol. sec
ond Lord followed with a two-bagger.
Hartsel scoring Collins came right
back with another two-base drive,
which scored Lord. Baker hit 20 Zim-
norman, who cut Collins off at the
plate Davis walked. Murphy hit a
fast one through Zimmerman, Baker
scoring and Davis going t. third.
Zimmerman then threw wild and Lord
scored. On g wild pitch Murphy went
home with the fifth run.
Chicago registered one in the same
inning on Sheckard's two-bagger,

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty OF the physician does not ceasa
with treating the sick, but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws
with such feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation I have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that I find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases OF sick,
ness and convalescence.
1T is my experience that no physt
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there Is
nothing so nourishfng and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hui
man system on the days work
TN cases of indigestion I know that
q complete breakfast can be made Of
Grape-Nuts and cream and I think 1t il
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. l also know the
great value Of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weasz to digest other
food,
This Is written after an experience
o. more than 20 years, treating all
manner Of chronic and acute diseases,

on my part without any request for it.

CRIPPEN FOUND GUILTY
AND SENTENCED TO HANG
Case is Example of Quick Legal
Procedure.

London. - Dr. Hawley H. Grin
pen will pay the death penalty for
the murder Of his wife, Belle FL

mediately afterward by Lord Chief
Justice Alverstcne

In low voice: Il still protest my in

There is the strongest prejudice in
England against executing a man on
purely circumstantial evidence, and an
incident at the close of Crippen's trial
has caused the impression that the
jury may have recommended a life
sentence. After the doctor was SEN
fenced the foreman Of the jury handed
to the lord chief justice note, after
looking at which the justice said:
That shall be forwarded to the proper
quarter
The proper quarter might mean

cessory after the fact will begin Tues
day. She was the girl who fed with
Crippen to Canada about the time frag-
ments Of the body Of Crippen's wife
were discovered.
The case of Doctor Crippen was
an example Of the quick progress Of
English justice. After the doctor and
the Leneve girl had been captured
aboard the ship CD which they crossed
TO Montreal. they were hurried back
to England. The magisterial hearing

stone began his summing up Doctor
Crtppen turned slightly toward the
jury and watched the II 1uen in the
box closely as the judge in clear. i'm
pressive tones told them what their
duty was.
The first part of the lord chief jus.
tees summing up consisted Of an
analysis of Crippen's own story. II

said, then the case was ended

The difficulties of teaching astrOno-
my even in its most elementary form,
are, perhaps, only known to those who
have attempted 1t. A London assist
ant school mistress stated some time
ago that she was not fully convinced
"of the inutility of attempting to in
still into the minds of nine-year-o
girls knowledge of the more recon
.dite branches of astronomy" She
says that, according to instructions,
she explained to her class the uses
and purposes of the zodiac Some days
afterward she resumed the astronomy
lesson, and, In order to test the recol-
lection of the pupils, she asked, What
lis the zOdiac?" There aren't none
now, ma'am," replied one little girl;
Its bust up. whats burst up?"
asked the teacher, in great surprise.
The sody 'urk, answered the girl,
where they made the soda water; and
fathers been thrown out of work" In
Vestigation showed that a soda water
mandatory in the neighborhood
where the girl lived had been closed
through the bursting of steam pipe,
and the pupil had seen in this catas-
trophe the collapse of the zodiac.
