them what to eat and what to avoid.
It is a fact that proper diet and good
tonicSwill keep people well under. most
conditions and restore them to health
except in acute diseases where the need
of physician is imperative.

Slingsby Gets Fortune.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
LONDON, Feb. 3.-Teddy Sings
by was today declareG to be the legiti.
mate heir to the Slingsby fortune in
a decision handed down in probate
court. The court overruled the claims
that the infant was a San Francisco
changeling.
The courts ruling established four
year old Teddy's right to the estate
of Rev. Charles Slingsby, his grand.
father. which yields an annual income
of more than $4,000. It was q
triumph for his mother, who was Mrs
Dorothy Morgan, an American widow.
The trial continuing over many
weeks, furnished London society and
particularly to the American colony,
topic for lively gossip.
Rev. Slingsby had bequeathed his
estate to the first male heir of the
family. Lieut.. Chas. Slingsby, his ED
est son, claimed it on behalf of Teddy,
but a younger brother disputed his
claim with the allegation that Teddy
was not the son of Lieutenant Sings
by and his American wife, but was a
San Francisco founding.
The younger brother attempted to
prove that child born to Mrs. Sings
bv was dead at birth and that the
BODY was disposed of. The claim was
made that the infant son of a San
Francisco school girl was substituted
More than 200 witnesses testified.
Dispositions taken in San Francisco
alone totalled more than a million
words.

VAN HORNE TO BE
HELD BY POLICE
Will be Arrested on Charge Of De
stroyina Property and Per-
haps Extradited. :.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service]
VANCEBORO, Maine, Feb. 3.-A
warrant charging destruction of a
railroad bridge was expected to be is
sued here today against Werner Van
Horne, alleged dynamiter of the In
ternational bridge between Canada
and the United States, and self-pro-
claimed German officer.
The warrant would serve to hold
Van Horne in custody pending the
outcome of extradition proceedings.
Van Horne complacently asserts
his act was an act of war and that
he cannot be returned to Canada by
a neutral country.
State officials. it was said, will
charge Van Horne with damaging a
railroad bridge which under an agree
ment between the United States and
Canada is an extraditable offense. An
other procedure under consideration
was charging the German with de-
struction Of property in this state, as
several windows here were shattered
by the force Of the explosion.
The delicacy Of the case and immi-
hence of international complications
is making state officials proceed with
great care.
Search is still being continued by
the Canadian authorities on the other
side Of the river for the man whom
Van Horne claims was his accom-
plice. The German asserts that the
man was an Irishman and that he met
him on the bridge by appointment. He
stated that his accomplice was un-
known to him and that Identification
was made by means of a password.
Only the snow and extreme cold
weather, Van Horne declared, pre-
vented him from completely demolish-
ing the bridge.
\ Van Horne will apply today to the
German embassy at Washington to
protect him against extradition to
Canada. He was ordered held pend
ing developments, by Attorney Gener-
al w. r. Pettengell of Maine. United
States authorities are taking no ac-
ton, pending instructions from Wash
ingtOn
