himself into a thin man. Accordingly
he went to Lille in November and sci

Every day at .. m. he arrived a;

through the various heat rooms was
given elaborate massage. Then he
drank bottle OF claret and went 10

treatment in three and a half months

such that the detectives when they
saw him were unable at first to recog

money he had stolen except $4,000 IN

Why try to send him to country

So says DR.. ]. r. Hawkins Of North

when 1t realizes that We have acquir-
ed in the last so years over $1,OOO,Ooo,-

THE negro is a born American and
