Vast Sum Which We Spend on Peanuts

millions of bushels that 90 to the
fattening of hogs throughout the
south, the feeding Of poultry. while
the vines, often cured as hay, feed
thousands of head of cattle, and even
old Mother Earth Is nourished by the
roots Of the plant, which furnishes
nitrogen to it from the air.
The farming of peanuts during the
past FIVE years-not longer than this
has become an established industry
of this country. At present about FIVE
sixths of the crop comes from Vir-
ginia and most of the balance from
Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia
and the Carolinas. although most Of
the southern states contribute some.
AS the peanut industry has increased
so has the use of all nuts grown
nightly as an article of food during
the last decade, and the entire fam
lily now forms a most important part
of the diet of the physical culturist
and vegetarian.

all. Holes should be bored into the
Stats and legs in which to insert the
screws. This will keep the wood from

used on the joints when setting up. the
rack can easily be taken apart and put

FAWCETT WILL
REMOVE MRS.
MACREADY

Mrs. Macready will be removed
as pure food inspector. but the
law is to be enforced to the let
ter.
That is the statement of Mayor
Fawcett today.
Il have made up my mind that
] will let Mrs. Macready out. but
! do not mean by that that there
is to be any let-down on the law.
! am for its enforcement to the
letter. will let Mrs. Macready
go because she has allowed dis

the white people, and there are
other things. But l will have the
law enforced on all alike. / can
get another inspector who will do
the work. Why. l will put Bed
ford on that job, and I'll bet he
can enforce it better than she
did," said the mayor today.
He said he would not dismiss
MIS-. Macready today, and possibly
not for month, but that he had
made up his mind that ultimately
she should go.
While he has been coming to
this conclusion, outside citizens
have been lining up for Mrs. Mac
ready. The South End Improve
ment club last night adopted rcso-
buttons unanimously declaring for
the complete enforcement of the
pure food ordinance, and suggest
ing that as the women had inaug-
urated the pure food movement,
1t was fitting that a woman in
spector be in the position.
The doctors of the city also dis
cussed the matter, and they adopt
ed resolutions declaring for the
retention of Mrs. Macready.

Thte mystery surrounding the
death of the beautiful American
art student, Miss Estelle Reid.
whose scantily-clad body was
found on the beach at Naples
April "a, threatens to remain un-
solved, despite the strenuous ef-
forts of the Naples police, the
American consul, and the private
detectives employed by the dead
girls cousin, the Princess Ros-
pigliosi.
That she was killed by the muir
derous Black Hand is offered by
the Italian authorities as a prob
able solution. But why they
should seek out the beautiful
Bryan Mawr girl, without an en-
envy in the world, and cruelty
stab her twice with their stilettos,
passes understanding. How the
body lay upon the beach for three
days without discovery cannot be
explained.
Another theory is that she was
murdered for the money she was
supposed to have with her. 81
believe she was killed by Naples
boatmen," declares Mrs. Bertha
Reid Wells of New York, sister
of the dead girl. MANY of them
would kill anybody for a dollar.
But my sister, despite the protests
of her family, would trust those
brigands to row her to points on
the bay from which she desired to
make sketches.
She scouts the idea that there
was a love affair at the bottom.
Why" she said, "Estelle was not
the kind of a girl to have a love
affair. She was almost masculine
in her independence, her impa-
thence of restraint and her self
And yet, when the room which
the murdered girl had occupied
while in Naples was searched,
many love letters were found, let

ters from several American cities.
Though Miss Reid was indie
pendently rich, she insisted upon
lodging in the poorer classes OF
hotels while touring Europe. She
made no friends, and seemed en-
tirely devoted TO art.
She was about to inherit an
other fortune and the police are
trying to establish a connection
between this fact and the theory
of abduction.
Workmen employed near the
shore have told of an American
boat. On the day that the girl
met her death the yacht anchored
closely within the harbor; the
succeeding day it was farther
from the shore. On the Sunday
morning when Miss Reid's body
was found upon the beach, the
yacht was again seen. A small
boat was lowered from 1t, in
which were three men, who made
a careful search of the beach, and
then returned to the yacht, which
sailed away with its unknown
owner and mysterious crew as
suddenly as it had arrived.
That Miss Reid was murdered
is an established fact, for the hor-

livered by a stronger arm than
hers, and had she had the
strength, 1T is improbable that she
could have thrust knife into her
breast the second time, after one
deep cash had sent the life blood
squirting.
Naples is tremendously excited
over the mystery. The Princess
Rospigliosi, who was the wealthy
American widow, Mrs. Parkhurst,
when she married the prince in
1901, and was formerly the beau
tiful Miss Reid of New Orleans,
rushed to Naples from her palace
in Rome, and has offered to spend
every cent of her large income to
effect the capture of the murder
ers.
Estelle Reid was 32 years Of
age. She was graduate of Bryn
Mawr, and had studied art in Eu-
rope a year. Her grandfather,
Chester Reid, was a cap
tain in the United States navy dur
ing the war of 1912.

Attorney Whitman by Harry Levin
I'D SLAYER. Levinson
pleaded guilty to having sold two

asked the courts permission to GO
before the grand jury and tell all
that he knew about the traffic.
His story was told to District At
torney Whitman, who, after hear
ing 1t, sent detectives to confirm
certain parts of It. The story is
said to have been a complete recital
of the operations of white slavery
in New York.
1t is declared that Levinson gave
the names of men and women en-
gagged in the traffic. One of the
names is said to have been that of
the man higher up who furnished
the funds to carry on the business.
Whitman today refuses to discuss
the story and will not give out the
details of the confession. 1t Is be-
lieved, however, that warrants have
already been drawn for the persons
implicated by .Levinson.
