EAT FRUIT.

Begin young.
Eat more and more.
Old folks simply must have II.
Apples and grapes r especially
necessary.
Orange Juice is splendid whom it
agrees with one.
The craving Of children for fruit evi-
dences its value.
And the craving for fruit is a healthy
craving at n age.
Psychologists claim that growth from
infancy to old age is a process of
gradual Justification, and that the stiff
ness Of age liz caused by the deposits
of c~alcareous matter or earthly salts.
Therefore. a diet containing a large
proportion of these salts. food rich In
nitrogen. such as cereals, beans. peas
and meat, increases the natural ten
dency to ossihcation. For this reason
a diet made up largely of fruit, which
contains a minimum amount Of this
caicareous matter. Is scientifically best
adapted to persons in advancing years.

CAT COMES BACK; WIFE
ASKS HUBBY'S ARREST.

well. your honor, l raised this cat
from a kitten"
This was the plaintive appeal OF
Herman Hoe, of Az South Eleventh
street. when his wife Anna appeared
in the Fourth Precinct Police Court
and said she wanted to make a COM
plant against him because of con-
tinual marital difficulties arising over
a cat.
"And you raised your children, too,
didn't you?" asked Judge Herr.
Hoe was struck by the parallelism
and remained silent. His wife said
that she had put the cat out a mum
Der of times but that her husband al
ways brought it back. She said that
she couldn't keep the three little Hoes
from playing with the cat and get
ting scratched.
The judge would not accept a COM
plaint but he warned Hoe not to give
his wife cause for further grievance.

z JUDGES WARN
PEOPLE AGAINST
GROWING EVIL
Believe More Publicity Is
Needed to Put Stop to
Certain Cases.

The warning to the people of the
county of the alarming prevalence of
cases involving criminal abuse of young
girls by men of mature years, sounded
by Judge William p. Martin yesterday,
in sentencing Max Ball, convicted of
criminal abuse of a ~13-year-old girl,
was supplemented by Judge Harry V.
Osborne. in a statement given to the
press today. The ext of the state
ment is:
II have been astounded at the large
number of cases involving the abuse of
young girls by men of mature years
which l find upon the criminal court
calendar of this county. There is so
little publicity given to this class of
cases that the people have no idea OF
the extent of crimes of this kind.
AS was said by Judge Martin yes
terday, much of the judges time is
taken up in the trial of this class of
cases. Possibly if the perpetrators of
this crime knew of the constant trial
and conviction of similar offenders it
might have some beneficial effect, but
unless this information is more widely
disseminated than has been the custom
in the past, the deterrent effect of the
punishment of the guilty will, in a
large measure, be lost.
Judge Martin said that the crime in
question is increasing at an alarming
rate. and hat the attention of the peo-
pie must be brought to the matter in
order that something may be done to
stop it.
Judge Osborne will pronounce SEN
fence Monday on several men who have
been convicted of the crime this week.

DECISION MAY END "DRYS'"
FIGHT AGAINST SHIPMENTS,

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 2S.-Expressing
the view of whiskey and beer manu-
facturers, T. M. Gilmore, president of
the National Model License League,
said last night he believes the decision
of the United States Supreme Court
that the State legislature may not pro-
hibit the shipment of beer or whiskey
from one State into another, will put
an end to pending legislation in con-
gress to prohibit interstate shipments
into dry territory.
The court has declared beer to be a
Commodity" and Congress. while it
may regulate commerce between States.
may not go SO far as to prohibit the
shipment of a legitimate commodity of
commerce.

CHILDREN OF SUICIDE ARE
RECOVERING FROM GAS,

The City Hospital authorities today
gave out favorable reports on the con-
dition of Alexander and Thomas Brad
ley, jr., who were overcome with gas
when their father committed suicide at
their home, 376 Market street, yesterday
afternoon. The two children, aged 2
and 4 years, were held tightly in the
arms of their dead father when their
little sister Rose came from school yes
terday.
Investigation by the Evening STAR
has brought out the fact that hard
ships have been the lot of the Bradley
family since the death of the mans
mother. The finances of the family re-
Gently were so low that Mrs. Bradley,
an aenemic, was compelled to work.
There were no family troubles, and
only the melancholy spirit over his in
ability to get work led to the suicide.

Death Of J. D. Phipps.

j, D Phipps, lessee of the
Beverly Hotel, a member of the
Rogers City Conncil and a mem
Der of the Rogers Land Compa-
ny, died suddenly at the Beverly
Saturday noon. Mr.. Phipps had
been feeling unwell for a day or
two, but an hour previous to his
death had been uptown. 1t was
while the guests were at dinner
that Mr.. Phipps, who was lying
down, expired without a strug-
gle or a word. The deceased,
who was 81 years of age, was a
native Of Kentucky but had been
a resident Of Rogers for the past
three years and always been
identified with business interests
here. His genial disposition aad
happy mein made friends of all
with whom he came in contact.
Mr. Phipps was a member Of the
local Lodge of Elks and also the
local branch of the Moose. Pre-
vious to leaving Kentucky Mr..
Phipps had been active in Dem
ocratic politics, having served as
sheriff in his native county.
Funeral services we're held
Monday q .e.n00a u -;30o'ciock
at the Central Methodist Church,
conducted by Rev. J. H. O'Bry-
ant. The services at the grave
were under the auspices of the
Elks Lodge.
The above clipping was sent us
by a friend of Mr.. Phipps who
failed to state the name Of the
paper from which it was taken,
consequently we cannot give
proper credit.
We were also handed a hand
some memorial by Mr.. Jno. B.
Phipps, of this place, brother of
the deceased, giving the order of
services held by the members Of
Rogers LodgeNo. 1913, B. P. O.

member, which speaks eloquent
ly of the esteem in which he was
held by the people in the town
of his adoption.

School Notes,

Again we come to you with a
message from the Normal Room
of the West Liberty High School,
and in this we wish to ask you
to take an inventory Of your
boys and girls improvement
and say whether we have hon
ored the trust that you confded
in US when you sent them to us
to teach. We have kept an eye
single to the interest of your
boys and girls, regardless of
pets" or favorites with all
alike claiming the best work Of
our life for their improvement
and we feel that our labor has
not been in vain "
We do not confine our teaching
to books alone, but we endeavor
to impress upon the young lives
in our care the principles of right
living and honest treatment of
their fellow men.
The future lives of boys and
girls, whether it be success Or
failure, is largely ifnot wholly,
a product of early teaching at
home and in the school. Realiz-
ing this, we always try to pic
ture life in such colors that the
pupils in our charge cannot fail
to see the better way. We also
impress upon them their duty of
kindness to all dumb animals
Gods creatures over which He
has given man dominion, but no
r ght to hurt, harm and injure
only to satisfy his mad. ambition.
We teach them to know that life
is largely made up Of little things,
and that the more little things
that are wrong they. leave off,
and the more little things that
are right they do, the greater
their lives will measure up to the
Ifuilness of manhood and woman
|hood, thereby-more nearl full
filling the mission for which5God
gave them being. Ii these are
the principlesthat you want your
boys and girls taught, send them
to us, and we will never abuse
the trust that you confde in us.
Witha view to bettering the
mental condition of the pupils in
our room we organized a Liter
airy Society with officers chosen
by the pupils of the room from
among their own number. They
elected James Swango, Presi-
dent, Henry Saitz, Vice Presi.
dent, Blanche Estell Thompson,
Secretary, and Sallie Webb, AS
sistant Secretary. This society
has given some Friday-afternoor
entertainments, and we see pos,
sibilities of material good t
come from it if kept up and en-
couraged as it should be. VIZ
hope that the tercher who take.
charge Of these grades after the
holidays will foster this work
for eat.good careome Of it.
Next week will be our frs
term examinations. and we hope
that the parents of the pupils
will encourage them to make ex
ira effort to get ready for thi,
work as it will be counted in tht
final examinations at the end Of
the year.
Next week we will give a sum
mary of the work completed il
our room during these first fou
months of 1.-The school.
We hope that yon will enjl,
the extent of your children's eff
forts and be glad to know tn,
amount of work they have done
Watch for our summary mex
