The Western defense was just as
good as that of Eastern. The Red and
White backfield showed to advantage
in tackling and the line, outweighed all
the way across, more than held up un-

Western scored in the first quarter.
The Red and White team forced the
fighting and kept Eastern on the de-
fensive throughout the entire four quar-
ters with the exception of the last few
minutes of play when Reilly, fresh
from a rest on the sidelines went in and
successfully rushed the ball over on
plays that Western had previously
smeared in the first half.

line netted three points. and Easterns

Western leading by three points In the
third quarter the Red and White scored
on Brewers touchdown from a 3o-yard

thrown for a loss many times Brewer

touchdown was scored. Roger put the

SMALL BOY PLAINLY DRESSED
Perfection of Cut and Workmanship
Demanded, Though Materials Must
Be lnconspicuous.

The clothes of the well-dressed
small boy grow palmer and palmer;
though more attention is bestowed
than ever before on their perfection
of cut and workmanship. Linen, per-
Gales and galateas are the best choice
for play frocks or sailor suits, and for
the formal costume, white serge or
mohair, or heavy white ottoman silk
may be used. A little boy of six, who
has big brown eyes and dark hair
bobbed off in the familiar Buster
Brown style, has had made for sum-
mer wear six silken suits, all in the
picturesque sailor style, with very full
blouses over very short Knockers.
Two of the suits are of white tub silk
and with these go flowing sailor ties
of black silk. One suit Is of a blue
and white tub silk and is accompa-
MED by dark blue tie; another suit
Of tan and cream silk has a tie of
warm amber silk. A gala suit is of
red and white tub silk, with a red
necktie and white collar embroidered
with red anchors. The suit de luxe,
however, is one of white faille silk
embroidered on collar and sleeve with
white chevrons and having tie Of
pale blue surah.

But when overwork or anxiety

the brain and nerve cells (anxiety will

that horror of darkness, nervous pros

Another thing to be considered In
that Grape-Nuts is "processed' in
making and the starchy parts con-
verified into a form of sugar, exactly

Negligence Called MansIaughter

The case of Stehr VS.. State before
the supreme court Of Nebraska in
volved the sentence Of father for
from one to ten years in the peniten-
tiary for criminal negligence, because
during a blizzard in Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per-
mitted the fire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack in the door and a
broken windowpane. and the bedding
of all the members of the family was
frozen stiff. The feet of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for sixteen
days, when amputation was found to
be necessary and the child died of
blood poisoning. The defendant was
convicted of manslaughter for Grim
inal negligence in failing to provide
medical care after he discovered the
frozen condition of the child's feet.
In affirming the conviction the court
held that for a parent having special
charge of an infant child culpably to
neglect it so that death ensues as a
consequence is manslaughter, al.
though death or grievous bodily harm
was not intended, and if the parent
has not the means for the child's nur-
ture it is his duty to apply to the pub.
