Walker was the only person in the

The leaders of the mob placed his
hands over the policeman's eyes,
while others who had entered the
building set about to take the man

When Walker was taken to the
hospital he was strapped down in

After the NAB had gone short

 There was and perhaps still is a room in certain house in Virginia which was supposed to be haunted. Every time person slept there he would be sure to wake after awhile to find the whole room peryaded by a dim yeilowiSh gray or grayiSh yellow light. It was very dim at first, but it increased steadily til the occupant of the chamber fled from the uameless terror in panic. Mir.

The crown princess of Roumanfa, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, who Is to represent her husbands country at the coronation of her cousin, King George of England, bears a striking re- semblance to Queen Mary. although the crown princess is by far the better looking of the two.

Although Prin- cess Maries married life with the gloomy and not very popular crown prince has not been particularly hap py one. she commands the admiration and dev otion of the Roumanians. In every possible way she has tried to amellorate their condition, lending her name and influence to every worthy charity in the Roumanian capital and endeavoring to popuarize the national embroideries. laces and jewelry. Prin- cess Marie. unlike Queen Mary, likes Americans and encourages them to visit the Roumanian capital.

The maScat is a comical black cat or kitten, marked with a white horseshoe on it's breast and with a four leafed clover on it's paw. It is warranted to be an unfailing luck bringer. and it's funny little face never fails to make hit The mascat is supplied with plump little legs so hinged to the body that the cat may be made to assume any nosition desired. The distinctive feature of the toy, however, is the tail. which can be hooked to the mas cats body to form handle by which the toy may be carried over the arm. This feature of the toy is for the bene- fit of mothers or nursemaids who take baby out for an airing. A doll or oth- CT toy is likely to be dropped, but the mascat hung over the arm can be car ried as easily as a small basket The mascat Is already on the market. and a series of these carrying toys" as they are called. are being designed and will soon be introduced by their origi- nator, well known woman author. who has family of her own that has inspired her with some original ideas in regard to toys and children's amuse- ments.

READ THIS THE DANGERS IN NOT USING
 GOOD MILK

UUOD n llh
 Very few consumers of milk ever stop to think of how it is produced.
 Many sicknesses, especially in children have been traced by medi- cal research to the improper hand ling of milk.
 A short time ago thyphoid fever broke out in the upper section of New York City and was traced by the Board of Health to the milk which had come from farm in the Northern section of New York State.
 Milk when taken from the COW is in a pure state, and is the best whole food known to man, but care- lessly handled it becomes danger, as the warm milk is ready to rec ceive foreign bacteria which multiply at an alarming rate until the milk is dangerous to use, but cannot be deteced unless analized.
 Use milk which is produced under the following methods:
 Clean barn, cows cleaned one half hour before milking to allow the dust to settle, clean milking cans, dry milking, the habit of some mixers in wetting the hands with the milk before milking is discust- ing and dangerous to milk Tho use of tobacco in any form prohi- bited by ruilkers in the barn, wash- ing the hands before milking. taking the milk from the barn as soon as 1t comes from the COW, ,as there are moro bacteria in the barn than out in the air. The liberal use of good dis infectant daily around the barn, especially in the gutters. These rules are strictly inforced at Brook side Dairy Farm, as the REPORTS of the STATE will prove by the low number of bacteria in Brooksids Farm milk.
 Use Brookside Farm Bottled Milk delivered daily. A guarantee of it's purity goes with evc-y bottle. | c. GIBSON. ] PRODUCES
