FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Whore the Winters Arc Cold and the
Shows Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David
Harum made famous, a man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker, and,
Although he knew it was doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give it up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap-
petite, weakness, and generally
used-up feeling, which practically un-
fitted him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.
"While in this condition Grape
Nuts food was suggested to me, and
began to use it. Although it was In
the middle Of winter, and the Their

AFTER the first two weeks 1 began
to feel better and during the whole
winter I never lost trip on my mail
route, frequently being on the road
or hours at time.
The constant marvel to me was
how a person could do the amount of
work and endure the fatigue and hard
ship as l did, on SO small an amount
of food. But found my new rations
SO perfectly satisfactory that l have
continued them-usicg both Postum
and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and
often they comprise my entire meal.
"All my nervousness, irritabillty and
insomnia have disappeared and healthy,
natural sleep has come back to me.
But what has been perhaps the great
est surprise to me is the fact that
with the benefit to my general health
has come a remarkable improvement
in my eye-sight.
If a good appetite, good digestion,
good eye-sight, strong nerves and an
active brain are to be desired, can
say from my own experience, use

FIRE DESTROYS
TERRA GOTTA
In Dryer Building at Plant 2
of Atlantic Co.

Fire of unknown origin destroyed
a portion OF a dryer building at
plant No. of the Atlantic Terra
Gotta works, at Buckingham avenue
and High street, shortly after ii
o clock last night. The blaze proved
a most stubborn one for the firemen
and owing to the manner of construc-
tion of the buildings it was difficult
to fight the flames. Many tons of
water were poured through the dryer
building, damaging both the building
and contents.
Superintendent SCHNEIDER of the
works stated today that the damage
to the building was about $50 and
that no stock was damaged. 1t was
stated at the works last night that
the fire probably started from sparks
blown from new kiln, which was
first set in operation yesterday. Fire
box AZ in the yard of the plant was
sounded for the first time in its his
tory to call out the volunteer fire.

H. P. FOX SAYS
He Is WILLING
Ready to Testify Before Grand
Jury at Any Time Pros
ecutor Says.
HAS ANOTHER STATEMENT
Declares He Has Man Who
Heard What He Said to
His interviewer.
HAS ANOTHER STATEMENT

Harry P. Fox, head of the Permo
Athletic Association, whose boxing
bouts were stopped and, as the re-
suit of which, was quoted as making
certain criticism which he denied,
says he is perfectly willing to go be-
fore the grand Jury and swear to
what he said to q newspaper man.
He claims that the signed statement
published yesterday contained the
substance Of his alleged criticism.
He denied that he was boiling mad
because boxing was stopped by the
authorities.
Printed statements which were de-
MED by Mr.. Fox 30 aroused the pros
ecutor that he stated Mr.. Fox would
have an opportunity to make good his
assertions regarding law violations.
Now Chief OF Police Burke has
taken q hand in the matter. He has
been told that Mr.. Fox even went so
far as to mention names Of saloon
keepers who violated the closing law,
and kept open until I and o'clock
In tho morning. Chief Burke says
he will Investigate those charges and
II evidence can be secured the guilty
liquor dispensers will be brought be-
fore the bar OF Justice.
Mr.. Fox declares he stands upon
his business reputation and veracity
as resident of this city for the past
fifteen years. He claims to have been
misquoted and says he can furnish
proofs that such Ia the case. His
statement follows:
II am perfectly willing to go be-
fore the grand jury and swear to the
solemn truth Of what I said in a re-
cent conversation with newspaper
man. I can produce another man who
overheard my entire conversation
| with him. The signed statement

| There was nothing further said about
excise matters other than what the

out by the fact that I did not send q
statement to either paper. The rea-

after the lad conveyed the message
to his mother he lapsed into uncon-

wound In the left lung. The girl
had picked the weapon up. She gave
it to the lad and in trying to open It
at the bridge. 1t discharged into his
left lung. Fearing that his little
playmate might be wrongfully ac-
cused Of murder, he hastened to tell
his mother that he had been shot and
that little Mary shapchanzky. his
chum, WAS not to blame.
The shooting was purely accidental
and who owned the revolver may
never be known, according to an in
vestigation made today by Coroner
James J. Flynn. He went over the
scene of the accident and interview
ed the little victims grief-stricken
parents. He learned that three ply
sicians had been summoned in an ef-
fort to save the boys life. They or
dered him sent to the Alexian broth
ers' hospital In Elizabeth, where he
expired.
The accident occurred shortly be-
fore noon yesterday, short time af-
ter the boy and girl had left public
school No. 10 in the Carteret section
of Roosevelt. AS they walked across
a field in the rear of the Nemeck
home in Randolph street, the girl,
who was but five years old, picked up
revolver. 1t was cheap make, of
gun metal color, trifle rusty and
contained one thirty-two calibre car
fridge. She handed 1t to the lad and
using both hands he held the weapon
against his breast and tried to open
it to extract the cartridge. AS he
was tugging away 1t discharged
The lad ran into his home with his
hands over his breast and said he
had been shot, but that Mary shap-
chanzky was not to blame.

and DR.. M. Jakoby were summoned.
The lad was ordered removed to a
hospital Owing to puucture OF

life were declared futile.
The boy was one Of four children.
The father is employed in the Liebig
