Law Condoned NeqIioence.

In Kelsey VS.. Rebuzzini, in the su.
preme court of errors of Connecticut,
it appeared that defendant, after no.
tice that division wire fence between
his lot and a lot where plaintiff pas.
tured his cattle was broken, took no
steps to repair it and the following
day plaintiffs heifers passed through
the broken fence and reached a lot
lying south of both of such lots and
there cropped grass which had been
poisoned in the mixing of spray for
potato vines, in consequence of which
part of them died. Defendant did not
know that the potatoes had been
sprayed, or that any poison had been
spilled on the grass and could not
have anticipated that some person
might have scattered poison about the
grass there. 1t was held, assuming de-
PENDANTS negligence, that it was not
the proximate cause Of injury.

NOT HOME OF ANCIENT MAN.

Theories regarding the antiquity OF man In

THE result of the expedition says the expe-

of the antiquity of man In Peru, but tended to
prove the contrary. Aside from the cemeteries
or burial caves of the common coast or mountain
people and their archaeological remains, there was
sign of human occupation of these regions

FINE WINTER RESORT
St. Moritz, in Switzerland, Won
derfuI Pleasure City.
Features Of the Town Are the Result
Of Thirty Years Expenditure Of
Energy and capitaI-Haven for
Lovers Of Winter Sports.

st. Moritz, Switzerland.-It has
been said that it requires not only
natural advantages, but quarter of
a century's labor, to make really
good Swiss winter resort. At st.
Moritz is to be seen the outcome OF
80 years of energy and capital expen-
diture. The Cresta, most wonderful
of toboggan-runs "a glistening pol
ished sheet of ice from Church Leap
to Cresta villages the result of
many years of loving study and labor.
The Kinks are the product not only of
much money, but also of long expert
ence in the fine art of tending ice
at an altitude of 5000 feet. Many
years of observation have enabled the
devoted engineer Of the bObrun to
combine the maximum Of thrills with
the minimum of danger. At st. Moritz
a man will find any winter sport he
loves, and find it the very best Of its
kind. Bandy, tobogganing, bobbing,
ski-joring, curling, arc all at their best
in this the most important winter
sport centers in Switzerland, and are
to be had side by side with every
amenity and luxury Of modern life.

EASY WAY TO GOOD HEALTH
Stand Straight and You'll Steer Clear
of Lung Trouble, Says Medical
Body.

New York.-The first essential in
lungs, or consumption, is to keep the
lungs strong, so that if the germs are
breathed they can do no harm, ac-
cording to a bulletin of the American
Medical association.
One of the most important things
in keeping the lungs strong is to keep
the chest wide open, so that the lungs
can be properly used. If the body is
dropped or stoops, or if the shoulders
are allowed to drag forward Ground
forward instead of well back over the
shoulders, the chest must be fattened,
the breathing must be shallow, and
the lungs, not being freely used, be-
come weak.
It is in this type Of chest that tuber-
culosis usually begins. The consump-
tive is usually narrow chested, with
dropped shoulders and with the head
craned forward. While the develop
ment of strong, well formed chest Is
one of the most important factors in
preventing tuberculosis, the same
thing is to be desired if the disease
has once started. Not only should we
live in the open, but we should stand
up straight and learn to throw a big
chest" so that the lungs can grow
strong and the fresh air be taken in.
The runner. the singer, or any one
who is obliged to make sustained eff
fort is taught to stand and sit with
the chest high. so that the lungs can
be used to the best advantage. and If
every one would do the same thing
there would be less tuberculosis, be-
cause there would be fewer weak
lungs.

DEATH COMES TO HEROIC cleR'
eYmAN AT eL PAso, TEX.

Rev. William &. McCracken, a re-

Church, died Saturday morning at

was about 65 eyars old and had been
I'm the priesthood for 80 years.
During his early ministry Rev Mr..

For this heroism during this crisis
the city of Granada, aided by mem
bers of the Episcopal Church in other
parts or the country, presented MIN
