Fruit Aid to Digestion.

The juices Of fruit are highly valuable

germs cannot grow in them to any eX-
tent This is particularly true Of the
juice of raw fruits Cooked fruits, sucL
as baked apples, pruas PURGE and other
soft fruit, may be used without injury
III without cane sugar, and not eaten

at regular meal times, not between
meals, 1t combines especially we'll with
cereal foods
About the only precaution which need
be given in relation to fruits is, that
they do not form good combination
with coarse vegetables This fact ex.
plains many cases Of gastric disturb
ances Thoroughly healthy persons do
not always need to observe the rule
to avoid the use OF fruit and vegetables
at the same meal, provided all food is

pecially persons with dilated stomachs
on slow digestion, will be greatly bene-
flied by observing this precaution.

The well-dressed Woman.

To dress in proportion to ones income,
in accordance with ones position and
age and appropriately to the occasion,
are among the essentials which chRrac-
terize a well.dressed woman. No one is
respected who dresses more extensively
than her income win permit, and who
seems to carry all her worldly posses
sions on her back, says the Ladies
World.
Good taste is in avoidance OF snowy,
conspicuous clothing. elaborate trim.
mings, or exaggerated fashions. A WON
an OF refinement does not appear TO be
conscious OF her clothes She wears
them with ease and grace. She attends
scrupulously TO each detail of dress be-
fore leaving her room and then gives
no more thought to the matter In a
word, well-dressed woman's clothes
should seem of less consequence than the
wearer
1t is important to choose the color,
style aud material suitable to age, com.
plexion, figure and height, and not to
initiate the dress of another person, the
style OF which may be unsuitable to the
imitstor The careful adaptation OF
fashions TO individual requirements is a
serious consideration
Absolute neatnes in dress is an es-
sential Gloves, neck accessories, shoes
and hats should be fresh Gowns should
be in perfect order and well brushed,
UmdeTgarments should be as fresh and
neat as gowns and hats.
A tailor made dress Of dark color and
durable material is necessary for street
wear. for church, shopping, informal
morning visits TO intimate friends.
Gloves oil tan dog skin, or Of undressed
kid, gray or tan, calfskin boots, a hat
not too large, are appropriate with a
gown of this sort
In winter a gown Of line cloth is worn
when going 70 day weddings, luncheons

more dressy hat is used than for morn

leather shoes complete the attire Gloves

Drunkenness No Excuse.

Drunkenness is no excuse for crime,
but it may be inconsistent with state
OF mind necessary to constitute a GER
tain degree of crime OF course, if aft
er determining to commit murder, one
gets drunk in order to nerve himself to
the deed, the drunkenness only points to
and confirms the generalization; but
where the purpose 70 kill is formed in

ton rebuts the inference of premedi-
tation necessary in murder Of the first

elusion in this case, as that above indi-

Death Sentence Of John
Wynne COMMITTED
TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Intoxication Not an Excuse, But the
President in Opinion Written in
His Own Hand Says Mitiga-
ing Circumstances.

Washington, Dec 2l--In committing
yesterday to life Imprisonment the sem
tence of death passed upon John Wynne
at Honolulu, Hawaii, President Taft
takes the view that intoxication at the
time Of committing murder may be urged
in eXtenuation Of the degree Of the
crime.
Wynne, who was an oiler on the
steamer Rosecrans, was convicted of the
murder Of a man named McKinnon, the
third engineer OF that vessel, in Homo
lulu harbor Many petitions for the
Communication Of sentence were received
by the president from Honolulu and San
Francisco. Wynne's aged mother, liv-
ing in Ireland, has never heard Of her
sons plight.
The evidence showed that Wynne was
under the orders OF Mckinnon and had
often expressed grievances against him.
Returning aboard the vessel one night
in Honolulu, Wynne passed McKinnons
stateroom and saw him lying asleep
with his head toward the door, Wynne,
with a hammer, smashed McKinnoDs
skull.
In passing upon the case President
Taft Endorsed the papers in part as
follows;
Drinking All Day.
IF Wynne was sober and in his right
mind, there was ample time and OPP
portunity for him to form a premedi-
tated purpose TO kill McKinnon and to
execute it and the elements Of murder
in the first degree would all be present
and require the verdict given. But there
is evidence that Wynne had been drink
ing all day and that when he came
aboard his gait was unsteady and he
was in drunken condition.
1T is sufficient, in my judgment, To
raise a reasonable doubt whether his
mind was IN condition capable Of that
premeditation necessary to constitute
murder in the first degrees The facts
are consistent with the theory that
Wynne rs he walked unsteadily by Me-
Kinnon's room, and saw McKiunon ~.
ing where an attack was easy, suddenly
conceived homicidal purpose to gratifv
his grievance against Mckinnon. which
he had just been discussing with one
Bright, the second engineer, both in their
cups, and quickly procuring a hammer
he hit the head which lay helplessly and
temptingly exposed to his drunken inn
pulse.
IF this theory is sustained as I
believe it is. by one reasonable view
OF the evidence, then it constitutes the
reasonable doubt al che existence of
one element indispensable in making
the crime Of murder in the first degree,
to wit generalization

it is rumored that the company will
build new bridge on top of the dam.
This would avid the necessity of driv-

other.
Talk of Summer Resorts.
People living in the neighborhOod
of the site for the dam and lake that
will be formed are already talking of
having summer resorts there. 1t is so
accessible that this can easily be
done, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that it viii become a favorite

miles due west of Rapidan station,
so it can be reached by train as well
as by road. There ought to be good
boating and fishing there, and the
shores are so rough and irregular, and
so heavily timbered that the scene is
one of the prettiest in the county.

The Ambursen Hydraulic Construction
company of Boston expects to begin
work at once on the dam to be erected
at Rapidan by the Consumers Power
company. This company has the con
tract for the entire work and will put

force of men at work at one, tearing
out the machinery from the present
mill. and reconstructing it into board

have been purcha sed with the land will
be used for the same purpase, and it is
likely that some new buildings will be
erected to house the entire force of

their families with them. A lot of
preliminary work will have to be done

in order that the full force can 90 to
