BURGLARS BUSY
RA|D|NG STORES
ABOUT AMER|CUS

Again the petty burglar got in his
work last night, this time quitting the
smaller towns visited recently and
transferring his operations to Amer
icus. Two stores and a residence in
the Prospect Heights section were sue
cessfully "burgled" last night and a
gold watch and money stolen among
the effects found by the thieves.
The crooks first broke into the pri-
vate garage of Mr.. o. 7. Warren and
stole therefrom tools used in breaking
into stores nearby.
The store Of Mrs. Guerry on Nc
Garrah street was entered and be-
tween 400 and 500 pennies taken from
the till. AS far as could be ascertain
ed by the police, nothing but money
was stolen from the Query store.
The thieves next attacked the store
of Mr.. G. w. Cannon nearby, and
there, too, sucured a small sum of
money. Nothing else was taken, the
thieves overlooking the grocery stock.
The bunch then broke into Mr.. Can
mons residence near the store and
stole his gold watch from his vest
pocket. Nothing else was taken.
The police investigated the burglar
les early this morning, put the coun-
tvs dogs upon the trail, but the
thieves made a getaway.
Quite recently burglars have been
operating extensively about Americas
The Easterlin Bros. store at Ander-
sonville, the G. W. Bagley store at De
Soto, and the Williams store at Plains
have all been burglarized within a
week, and goods stolen therefrom.

COMMITTEE NOW
BUS|LY ENGAGED
IMPORTANT WORK
GRAND JURY HAS RECESS WHILE
COMMITTEES MAKE EXAMINA-
TION OF BOOKS AND
RECORDS.

The superior court grand jury was
not in active session this morning,
having already, for the greater part,
concluded the important business to
be considered at this session. A re-
cess was taken yesterday afternoon in
order to afford the committees from
that body time to make the usua in
vestigations of the county's books and
records for embodiment in the general
presentments. The books of all coun-
ty officials are thus inspected by a
special committee while other mem
bers of the grand jury visit the coun-
ty farm, the Jail, convict camps and
also inspect many of the county
bridges. The grand jury is very pains
taking in this work, and the general
presentments of that body is true re-
flex of conditions, as found by the
several committees.

WARNS KING OF ENGLAND
Astrologist Tells George to Beware
of Evil Days in March of
Next Year.

Boston.-That King George of Eng
land must beware of evil days next
March is the prediction of Catharine
H. Thompson, astrologist Miss
Thompson bases her prediction on the
fact that Jupiter enters Pisces, a
watery, unstable sign, next March, and
afflicts the kings radical sun, and sick
ness and trouble should increase
rather than diminish While Jupiter
was passing through Aquarius this
year, she, says, trouble for the king was
allayed Something extraordinary will
happen, she predicts, such as the siege
of London, the fall of Westminster alb
hey, St. Pauls cathedral or Bucking-
ham palace.

ROOMS
CONDUCIVE To LAZY
SPELLS SAYS EXPERT
(By Associated Press.)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. s.
Over-heating caused by a badly ven
tilated room has a more harmful eff
feet upon the human body than the
chemical poisons in the air, according
to the report of the first years work
of the New York state commission on
ventilation, read before the American
Public Health association today by
Prof. C. E. A. Winslow, chairman of
the commission.
The New York state commission has
fitted up an experimental room in the
College of the City of New York where
it is possible to maintain any desired
air condition. Over one hundred sub
jects have been kept in this room for
various periods during the past year.
When the experimental room of the
New York commission was warm, the
investigators found that the pulse
and body temperature and blood pres
sure of the subject was markedly af-
fected, and that, although they could
do hard physical and mental work, if
they tried, if they had choice they
would accomplish much less than at
a lower temperature. Physical work
done was reduced 10 per cent. by
raising the temperature from IS de-
grees to rs degrees.
None of these bad effects were not
ed if the room was kept cool, even
if the air were not changed at all, but
kept stagnant for eight hours so that
the carbon dioXide went up to ten or
twenty times that in fresh air. Just
one thing the commission found was
affected by the chemical substances in
stale breathed air--the appetite. The
subjects were served with high-stan-
dard lunches, and what they left
on their plates was weighed and anal
yzed, and it was found that they ate
more when the air was fresh than
when it was not changed.

WEARS CENTURY POST
BUT MARR|ES AGAIN

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 3.-Dalton is
taking the cake for aged bridegrooms.
Uncle Billy" Knox, who took his
seventh wife this week at the age Of
seventy-odd, has been eclipsed by the
gay young swain Samuel w. Albertson,
aged SO years, who has just welded
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Thomas, aged y
and still spry.
Both the contracting parties had
enjoyed previous experience in we'd
ded bliss, but this did not prevent their
blushing and stammering when a
crowd of witnesses thronged to see
the ceremony, which was performed
by Rev. J. T. Nichols.
Mr.. Albertson is one of the original
"Forty-Niners" of the California gold
rush, and Confederate veteran. He
says he hopes to round out his cen
tennial before he cashes in his last
chips.

SANE CHRISTMAS,
SANS FIREWORKS,
SANS ACCIDENTS
AMERTCUS WILL ENJOY A SAFE
AND SANE HOLIDAY 0CCAS.
ION THIS YEAR.

The fact that the indiscriminate use
of dangerous fireworks in Americas
during the Xmastide will not be
allowed is already assured, thus
eliminating an element of great dan
ger from possible fires and at the same
time affording shoppers an opportun-
ity of walking the streets and making
purchases unmolested. City council
has already put ban upon the NUS
ance, and the enthusiast who would
explode dynamite crackers and sky
rockets will have to go to the woods
for this pleasure and celebration" of
the Lords birthday anniversary. Just
now every warehouse in Americas is
full of cotton, and penny firecracker
might start a confagration costing
thousands Of dollars. Frequently has
it been the case here that ladies fear
ed to venture into the shopping dis
trict to complete their holiday shop
ping because of the reckless THROWN g
of dynamite crackers. The nuisance
will be entirely abated this season.
