TRACED BY BABY BUGGY
How TSpoOI<'' Sanders Was Arrested

Denver. April because his devo-

child's buggy with him in his flight
about the country, Tom Sanders spirit

inson, Kansas, in connection with the
theft of $4,000 in cash, was arrested in
Birdville, Texas, a few days ago by
Denver officers 1t was the baby bug
gy, which was of peculiar make,
which enabled the sleuths to track
their man.
Sanders, in company with Frank
LaMott, it is said. travelled about Kan
sas and other western states giving
spirituaIistic seances. Mrs. Sanders
acted as the medium. Considerable
money was derived from these "spook"
performances. Then, at Hutchinson,
the "spiritualLsts'' rented a hall that
had formerly been the office of two
doctors. These physicians lived in
rooms that opened from the Office
They had sold their business for
$4,000 cash, and were ready to leave
for Montana when the Sanders-LaM Mott

On the night before their departure

room of one of them. That night the
spook-invokers held their first seance.

STRIKERS ARE CLUBBED
Police Called to Clear the Streets in
Louisville.

Louisville, KY, April 1.-The hand Of
the police was shown in the tobacco
strike today when crowd of several
hundred strikers marched to the big
plug factory of the American Tobacco
company at Eighteenth and Broadway
and attempted to draw out the en-
p1oyes. The police used their clubs
freely and in short time had cleared
the streets surrounding the factory.
The number of women stemmers on
strike is now 5000, four factories are
closed and others crippled and today it
is expected 4,500 women employed in
the plug making and cigar departments
will quit in sympathy.
The strikers demand So a hundred
pounds for stemming the inferior leaf,
$3.50 a hundred for stemming the bet
ter grade and a commission of 10 cents
on the dollar. They ask further that
the sanitary conditions at the factories
be improved and that the scales on
which the tobacco is weighed out to
them be inspected by authorized per-
sons and accurately adjusted.
The grievances of the strikers have
been submitted to the general officers
of the company in New York.

THE HEALTH LECTURER

He tells us people eat too much.
We believe he is right to a certain
extent: we do eat too much-too
much unwholesome, indigestible.
half-cooked food. 1t is our theory
that If the food is real food pre-
pared in healthful digesttble
manner that nature will govern
the amount needed to supply VI
tally.
1t seems hardly reasonable to
suppose that a normal person
should eat quantity enough to make
himself sick, just for the fun of
seeing the cost of living increase,
but it is a proven fact that the
wrong kind of food will ruin ones
health.
We believe that the evil lies in
the quality rather than the amount
and we feel that we are benefitting
humanity by supplying wholesome,
perfectly cooked, appetizing eat
ables which are a boon rather than
a detriment to health.

Mr.. Miller, filling an automobile with

Presently Sanders came out into the

Physicians have until recently recon-
