MAN ELOPES
WITH SONS
SWEETHEART
Boy Loses His Intended While
Serving on the Mexican
Border.

BOSTON. Sept. 2S.-Charles Gret-
ter, As years old. wealthy treasurer OF
the Louis E. Merry Baking Company,
recently eloped with the sweetheart
of his 21-year-old son, Leslie, who is
now with the Massachusetts militia at
FL Paso, Tex. The girl, Mildred Mer-
rill, who is % years old, was stenog-
rapher in Gretter's office.
Crushed by the weignu Of double
sorrow-his mother having committed
suicide few weeks ago-Fred H. Mer-
rill, father Of the girl, said Of the af-
fair: This is worse than death. But
all want is my little daughter back
again" Then he showed a brief tele-
gram, sent from Worcester II fought
him for six years." it read, and was
signed Mildred"
Mrs. Gretter and her two daughters,
both in their teens, are Frustrated with
shame in their beautiful summer home
at North Weymouth, Mass. But the
wife had not single bitter word to
say either Of her husband or OF his
companion.
~ want Him to Come Back"
Il hope the girl is restored TO her
father" she said, land as for my hus-
band want him to come back again.
Not here, though; not here. He has
lost every friend here, or will lose
them when the affair becomes known.
Oh. how could he? How could he?"
When Leslie Gretter, on the border,
was told of his sweethearts elopment
with his father, he buried his face
in his hands.
My mother, my poor mother; she's
the one who will suffer most from
this" he soboed. ~ am heart-brnken
but the blow to me can be nothing
compared with the sufferings my dear
old mother must be enduring. There
must be something wrong with my
father. cannot understand 1t. l knew
he was fond Of Mildred, but | never
dreamed he would elope with her."
Pair Were Often Together.
Miss Merrill had been employed for
several years in the office of Gretter
and the two were openly fond of each
others society. But people thought
that the mans liking for the girl was
rothing more than admiration for his
prospective daughter-in-law. Nor was
1t considered strange that he often
took her to ride in his automobile OF
to dine in Boston hotels.
Before young Gretter left for the
border he gave the girl an engagement
ring and she promised to marry him
just as soon as his regiment returned.
His mother now says, however, that
she believes the whole affair between
Leslie and Mildred was cleverly de-
signed by the elder Gretter and the
girl to dispel suspicious regarding their
relations with each other.

One Of the Oldest and most firmly
established Of popular medical notions
is that the most Of the acute diseases
of the respiratory organs are inyaria-
bly, attributable to exposure of the
body to cold. This may partly be aC-
counted for by the initial symptoms.
Pneumonia. for instance. is often
ushered in with severe rigors: inAu-
enza. likewise. frequently begins with
shiverlng; and in the commoner ca
tnrrhal inilammRtions OF the nasal mu-
cous membrane n feeling Of chllliness
is SO general that It is usual to speak
OF taking chilli or catching a
cold"
And though II is understood today
that in all of these disorders-not eX-
cepting cold in the head bacterial in
lection always PLAYS an essential part,
yet the opinion still prevails. even
among experienced clinical observers,
that chilling Is al least an important
factor in large proportion Of cases.
Some justification for this belief
may be found in the results OF q series
OF experiments conducted during the
last two years by DR.. ]. A. Miller and
DR.. w. G. Noble at the instance Of
the New York State Ventilation Com
mission, and reported in the current
Journal OF Experimental Medicine"
An organism described as the snuff
fies bacillus (B. bovisepticusl was en-

that rabbits were used In several SER

low temperatures and changes from
hot TO cold and from cold to hot were
tried under variety Of conditions and
always with sufficient number Of
controls to check tho results. The
conclusions are set forth as follows:

favored by chilling the animals after
they have been accustomed to heat
20 The character Of this disease
which occurs frequently in rabbits I'M
der natural conditions, makes the
application of the experimental re-
suits to similar respiratory diseases
in man less open TO objection than in
similar experiments with other infec-
tons.

and earth we're so remarkable.
Tourists, Eyes Bulge.


Arrived at oraIbi, we soon real
lied that the Indian snake dance was
well worth travelling many miles to
see. There were perhaps 200 tour
lists who gathered around the Indians
and gazed, with bulging eyes, at the
wicrd ceremony about to be enacted
with rattlesnakes as the chief objects
Of admiration. AS far as / could as
certain, the Hopis gather their snakes
from the mountain side, keeping them
hidden until the dance begins and az
ter the ceremony return them to their
homes, at all times showing them the
greatest reverence.
zone theory is that the Hopis believe
in the wisdom and power OF great
snake somewhere in the mountains
and they wish the little snakes TO re-
turn to the 'tata' snake and carry the
glad tldings Of how well they were
treated Judging by what we saw at
the dance the little snakes-they are
husky looking rattlers quite as long
as any one would care to encounter
do not reciprocate in this matter of
iesnect and awe. We saw one OF the
awful reptiles strike his fangs into
the jaw Of an Indian boy. who kept
right on dancing. One or two of the
bucks also were bitten. They did not
show any i'll effects and were prac-
tically immune TO the rattlesnake pol
son.

It was a blood-curdling performance,
