In Chicago.

Chicago, H., July 4.-Twenty-
deaths and numerous prostrations fol-
lowed in the wake of this, the hottest
day with only two exceptions, in the
history Of the local weather bureau
The thermometer today at p. IN. reg
istered 101.5 degrees. The two hottest
days endured in the Windy City were
both in July, 1901, when a mark OF
1O1. degrees was followed the next day
by 1O3 degrees.
At Z a. m. the mercury stood at 50
degrees, but rose steadily until p.
m, when the seasons record was
passed.
The government register at the
street level at the same time showed
1O4 degrees and showed those who
remained in the city just what they
were enduring.
AS has been the case many nights
during the record-brealiing torlidity,
dwellers in the tenement district slept
on roofs, sidewalks and in alleyways.
Every street stairway was occupied
with adults stripped to the limit Of
seemiiness and all but naked babies

who sought breeze in street car

FOOD A RACE SUICIDE CURE?
Experiments With Mice May Have
Bearing on the Human Race.

Los Angeles, Cal, July If crack
ers, milk and eggs increase the birth
rate among mice, would a similar diet
have the same effect upon the human
race? Also, if cornmeal and milk
slightly reduced the rate, and a diet
of oatmeal and liver resulted in no
little mice at all, what would happen
if mankind confined itself to like
food?
Those questions and some more,
may be asked as the result of state
ment made by DR.. Reid Hunt OF
Washington before the American
Medical Association. Doctor Kent said
he had made all these experiments
with peculiar results. He fed one
group of mice upon oatmeal and liver
and watched for the arrival of young
mice. But there We're none. Four mice
which he fed upon cornmeal and milk,

One Little Word Omitted From Con

In answer to many inquiries receiy-

day, We will state that there has not
yet been a correct answer submitted
in the Missing Word contest since one
word was left out of the page four
days ago. We have said that We were
not going to give any tip as to what
this word is, but We are going to go
against our word today and tell those
interested that the word worth four
dollars today has but four letters and
that it was omitted from a furniture
ad. There, now, is a tip that may lead
to the discovery of the word, and in
cidentally to the winning of the four
dollars.
This contest is pretty near out now
and If you want to win any of this
easy pin money you'd better hurry.
