ODD CAUSES OF lNToxlCATloN
Fruit and Vegetables Capable Of Hav-
ing Disastrous Effect on the
Nervous System.

Those who cannot resist the tempta-
ton of too many Strawberries should
not be surprised If they are attacked
with fruit Drunkenness" for it is
an extraordinary fact that the excess
i've eating of strawberries often re-
suits in many of the sensations con-
nected with alcohol attacking the eat
er. These symptoms consist of gid
diness, headache, blurred sight and oc-
~casionally double vision.
For strawberries contain far more
acid than most Of the other fruits in.
season at the Same time, and this
Juice acts very quickly on the nervous
system, especially in the case of stout
and full-blooded people. Excessive
rhubarb eating can also produce symp-
toms of ~intoxication, owing to the
excess of oxalic acid which turks in
this fruit.
But this Is only one of the many
ways in which symptoms OF drunken
ness can be developed, apart from ex-
cess Of alcohol. 1t is quite possible
to become temporarily intoxicated by
excess OF emotion, whether it be sor-
row, Joy or music.
The explanation is that deep emo
ton deranges the nerve centers, which
are thrown out of unison with each
other, SO that such actions as walking
and talking become difficult. An in
valid who lives on diet for come con
siderable time, and then suddenly has
a huge meal, can quite easily get
symptoms of drunkenness on a chop or
steak.
Strong coffee on an empty stomach
also produces results similar to alco-
hol. whilst the fumes of turpentfne
are very liable to render You light
headed. Recently six me were re-
duced to a rolling condition while
unloading a cargo of this spirit from
a barge at Bristol, England.

No HEar for Music.o

DR.. Birman-Bera, after making a
study Of the ears OF famous musicians,
has come to the conclusion that the
construction Of that organ has little
TO do with ones musical appreciation,
and that it is not necessary to have
even normal ear-drums to become a
finished musician.
Pr. Birman-Bera says that his obser
vations have shown that composers
as 9 class have erect, almost vertical
ear-drums, and that other musicians
other than composers have ear-drums

There has been some suggestion
that a Former enactment may be
classed as good law for the present

was classed as unconstitutional, but
Its provisions would now be consti-

subsequent legislation removing the

 POOR MILDRED MIcARI

NEW YORK.-Mildred Rudd Nicarl, who hasn't run away or been kid mapped" in almost five months. and who, from this record. has got the 1 reputation of being regular stay at-home," resumed her famous habit of getting into difficulties yesterday.
 This time she has been "drugged," she said. About 1 a. m. she became i'll on Pavonia avenue car in Jersey City. The conductor called an ambu- lance, which took her to the city hos pital. There she became hysterical and told the doctors of the deadly drug that had been given to her by a per fidious companion. After a few hours rest she was much better and left the hospital, saying she would return to her husband in Southampton. L. I.
 Within the past two years Mildred Micari has had the following record: Fled from her fathers home at No. 1879 Morris avenue, the Bronx. and was arrested in New Haven. Week later vanished again, and when locat- ed in South Brooklyn said a man with a wooden leg had kidnapped her. Broke out of convent in Forty sec ond street. Ran away with her fath- CTS chauffeur, Vincent Micari and married him. Ran away from her hus- band in May. and was found in Knox, Ind, in a box car in which she had been iourneying.

CONsTANTINoPLE MOSQUES
 CROWDED WITH REFUGEES

CONSTANTINOPLE-This morning visited a number of mosques at Stamboul which have been diverted from religious purposes to the needs of humanity. I found thousands of refugees from Kirk Kilisseh and Tchorlu.
 Some of them went first to Adrian ople, but finding that city gave little prospect of safety, with the tide of war already tapping it's walls, they fled panic stricken to the south. leav- ing their cattle and even their chil- dren to the mercy of the conqucror.
 Crowds of these fugitives make variegated, nondescript gathering in the vast courts of most of the mosques. They complain, not without couse of cold, hunger and other privations which they now suffer. After their immediate danger is past, their pres ent asylum gives little else but pro- tection from fire and sword.
 Turkish authorities are appealing to public charity for funds to succor these wretched people. Their position is indeed miserable, but when I asked some of them: Would you like to re- turn to your home?" the answer was invariably: No, our villages are de- stroyed. All we have has been taken from us. If we must die. let us die here"
