REGARDING SUMMER DIET

Most of us southerners eat too much. With the older citizens it is easy to recall the time when every man was supposed to eat three square meals day-a meat break fast, meat dinner and meat sup per A few old fogies still eat hat way. but those who have given the matter serious thought and those who have been pinched by the high cost of living have made a new sum-
 ner schedule something like this: A light breakfast without meat; noon luncheon with almost no meat and a I o'clock dinner with meat, but lit

tained three exploded cartridges. one uneXploded, and the other two were empty. With the positive knowledge of two witnesses that six shots had been fired, it appears that he holdup man had exchanged shot for shot with Harris, his flashlight furnishing a tar get for the murderous marksmen.
 Just in advance of the feet of the body was a considerable pool of blood. Beneath the heels were deep depres- sions in the sand showing that Harris. after being fatally stabbed had man aged to keep from falling, until the loss of blood so weakened him that he sunk to the ground. He must have first fell upon his face, for the sand was ground into his chin and nose. It is believed that after making sure that Harris was either dead or beyond the ability to resist, attempt was made to rob his still warm body, for his watch was missing and the chain hung over his bloody shirt front. There was some loose change in his pocket and his pocket knife remained untouched.
 One of the bits of evidence which will probably be used as an exhibit al the inquest of the coroner, was pint bottle, which had contained Cedar Brook whiskey Wrapped around this bottle. the liquor from which had leaked out, was a clean piece of light brown wrapping paper In this con nectiOn, Coroner Johnstone requested this morning that any liquor dealer or bartender. remembering having sold pint of Cedar Brook Whiskey and hay ing wrapped it as described would inn mediately communicate with him and give such information as he possessed regarding the sale.
 The first incident connected With the tragedy Ocured when William Connel ley started south across the Arizona Eastern tracks just below the Star Lodging House on South First street Three Mexicans accOsted him upon the tracks and sticking two guns at him directed him to throw up his hands One of the men used pretty fair Eng fish and COnnelley offered no resist ance.
 At the same instant Harris appeared around the east end of a string of cars which had been broken at First street and threw the glare of his flash light upon the group. The three men started to run west and Harris followed Three shots followed in rapid succession, then came a pause and three more shots ConneIIey who was thoroughly fright

unable to communicate with each other pending the result of the in vestigatiOn which had been commence ed before the body of Harris had heen moved.
 Chief of Police Moore was immed- lately notified of the tragedy and was soon upon the scene. Sheriff Jeff A Adams and Constable Jim Murphy tOgther with several reputies from the office of the sheriff soon appeared and spent the best part the night travelling about in automobiles en- deavoring to pick up some clue of the identity or whereabouts of the slayers of Harris.
 Superintendent c. s. Scott, of the Arizona Eastern, notified the police and other officials that any service the railroad could render in appre- lending the criminals would be placed at their disposal The wires Were inn to every station open at that hour of the morning asking for the apprehen- sion of any suspects.
 Charles Harris was thirty-nine years old and married. He leaves be- sides his wife, one child. He lived at ell South Fourth avenue. No word of the tragedy which had befallen the husband and father was taken to the family at the time of the tragedy that task being left for friends and relatives who will inorm Mrs. Harris of her WodowhOod this morning.
 It is several years since Harris came to Phoenix. For sometime he was em- plOyed as a cook and later conducted a restaurant for himself He entered the employ of the Arizona Eastern and santa Fe jointly as night policeman over two years ago. With the erection of the big shops of the Southern Pa cific his duties with that railroad be- came so extensive he was obliged to re- linquish his position with the Santa Fe several months ago and snce that time has worked exclusively for the Arizona fdSteFn
 He was considered one of the most efficient officers ever employed by the railroad company in Arizona He was courageous almost to foolhardiness He has been known to bring in six or eight men alone and unaided and in some instances has landed men with guns ad other deadly weapons. By Superin- tendent Scott he was looked upon as the right man in the right place
 In connection with his discharge of his duty he had often been warn ed that he took too long chances and that unless he exercised more ,.are he was doomed to meet with serious mishap. The tragedy of this morn ing closed career that promised even greater things for him than he had already achieved. The search for his murderer. unless it can be shown that the right men are now in custody, promises to rank among the most sensational and widespread of any ever carried on in Arizona for every engine of the law will be set at work in running down those who had murder in their heart when they set out to rob william Con neleV

THE ART OF FORGETTING

II recall an occasion" says Roland Hall, when I gave utterance tC a narrow minded, unworthy opinion while conVersing with a man with whom l was only slightly acquainted. The words were hardly out of my mouth before l regretted them. He said nOthing-just looked at me. His silence was impenetrable It lis armed and rebuked me.
 For days and weeks I thought about it and then one day when I had q chance l said to this man that I hoped he would excuse my folly. He declared-bless his heart-that if l had said anything of the sort he had forgotten it. I believe him. When Il knew him better I learned that while he had his full share of pa tience and temper trying things, dis appointments and so on, he had the happy faculty of keeping his mind off them-Of forgetting them and go- ing On-When it no longer did any good to think about the unpleasant things. He saved the powers of his mind for the things that were worth while, and today he is a $10.000 man!

He says that one of the most dan gerous ideas is that ''an individual or corporation has the right to get, hold or own as much money or prop erty as he or it can acquire"
 The idea of preventing the accu- mutation of vast wealth is gaming new advocates. But it is not cer- tain that such restriction would prove to be just the thing wanted.

tle of it.
 Vegetarianism was a fad fifty ,ears ago, and it still has some ardent supporters today. The abstinence from meat was attractive to persons of lively imagination and email knowledge of dietetics as a theory or science. Vegetarians will still point to examples of healthy specimens who abstain year in and year out from flesh, fish or fowl.
 The Age Heralds advice is simply to adopt a happy mean in these sum mer days. A mixed diet-meat and vegetables-is the best for health and is conducive to longevity. But meat three times a day in summer Is all most as bad as an excess of alcoholic stimulants. The fact is that two meals day with meat at only one of them is enough for any working man or woman, whether that work be in braWn or brain. All who try the light diet this summer will be all the better Off-Birmingham -Age- Herald.
