rob one OF the largest banks in the city

Why Lobsters and Rabbits Aid Digestion

against the false belief creeping into the

There are large number OF poisonous
products that are constantly being dis
charged by various organs OF the body,
such as the pancreas, and 1t is necessary,

that these should not be retained in the

me intently Several times 1 changed my
seat to avoid his annoying gaze, but each
time he moved so that he could look d.
rectly into my face. And finally saw
that he was comparing my features fur
lively with what were evidently photo
graphs which ne carried In his inside
pocket.
At last he walked over to the desk

arrest. saying that I was charged with

that this was the easiest way OF proving
my perfect innocence.
The chief of police himself was on hand
to try to wiring what information he could
out Of me. For two solid hours he coaXed
and threatened and bulldozed me In every
conceivable way.
When he found he could not shake the
bulwark Of my innocence he announced
that, whether guilty or not, l was a sus-
picious character, and would be locked in
a cell unless l promised to leave the city

intending to do when arrested, l readily
gave him my word of honor to board the

bruised and bleeding from the blows OF
the police clubs and all his captors showed
the cruel punishment his own fists had
inflicted.
I rode to the police station by his side
crying all the way as if my heart would
break, 1t was not my own plight that
worried me but the fact that had brought
so much trouble to a perfectly innocent
man.
Friends soon came to mis- rescue, OF
course, and he was released early that
evening. I got out the next morning,
