MONSTER SHARK KILLS BATTER IN SIGHT OF CROWD
Both Legs of Victim Bitten of and Body Torn Horribly
 at Spring Lake.

Spring Lake, N. J., July 6-Under the mortified eyes of hundreds on the boardwalk, a shark yesterday bit off the legs of Charles Bruder, Swiss youth, and tore his right side terribly. Bruder was dead before men who had gone to ~his rescue could get him ashore.
 This is the second time with four days that sharks have taken human life ofr the New Jersey coast. On Sunday Charles B. vansant, a youth of Philadelphia, was ripped to death by one off Beach Haven.
 In Vansant's case the shark was plainly seen. It's fins and body came above the surface of the water. The man-eater that killed Bruder was not sighted. Only his screams of pain and terror and vivid riddening of the water about him marked the tragedy.
 No Doubt of Sharks Work
 Soon after the tragedy. Col. W. J. Srauffler, a physician, member of Gov. Ffelder's staff. examined the young mans body in the morgue at Manasquan. Dr. Shauff1er gave it as his positive opinion that the injuries could have been made by no other creature than . shark. Brudsrs left

 To visitor Col. Green explained why his mother had not left any char itable bequests.
 My mother gave great deal to charity" he said. ''but it was always with the iron bound understanding that nothing be said about it. She was averse to publicity for acts of charity. In the mill strike at New Bedford some years ago my mother was asked to give $50,000 to help the starving mill hands. She refused to do so, but said, "I'll build a mill for you and give you work" And she did. She built the mill and ran it till she lost $1O0,000; but she gave to all those people work and wages"
 Col. Green said his mothers will would be admitted to probate July 22.

THE HoMERs GET MONEY.

, One of the ideal married couples of the operatic stage is Louise Homer and her husband Sidney. They are
 not only happy in their married life and their large family. but in the
 possession of similar tastes. Mime.
 Homer is singer and MT. Homer a
 composer, and she often acts as the interpreter of his Songs. He has always taken as much pride in his wife's success as singer as she has in his fame as a. composer. So he was always accounted one of the most fortunate of the operatic husbands in the profession. Now it appears that MT. Homer has been able to add still more to the happiness of his wife. Through the death of rela- tive he has recently come into the possession of a comfortable fortune which indeed is large enough to yield an income quite equal to SUD- porting in comfort family as large as that of the Homers, which em- braces i've children.

 Bruders screams during the attack were so piercing t>.ar not only were the hundreds promenading the board walk in the afternoon startled but the cries penetrated to the interior of the big Essex and Sussex hotel, where Bruder was employed as a bellboy, and the Monmouth hotel, the latter fully 5e0 feet from the beach. Guests from both poured down the boardwalk.
 Bruder was 2S years old and was well known to the regular summer population here, for he had worked several years at various hotels.

somely bound in dark green cloth, and
gives an account of two voyages on
board the sailing vessel, "Mazeppa, -

Liverpool to San Francisco chapter
three, from San Francisco to Callao.
Peru, and the Chincha Islands; chapter
four, arrival at Antwerp; and arrival
home In forty-two pages a vivid
account of the incidents con these voya-
ges is given. The work is exceedingly
we'll written, and is illustrated with
seven plates, one of which is the por-
trait of the authors father, Capt.
Darius F. Weekes, who commanded the
Mazeppa, and who afterwards lived at
South Harwich, Mass. where he died

of Capt. Weekes, and at whose earnest
solicitation the work was written.

TIP FOR MOTORISTS.
How 20 Remove Greasy Dirt From
Your Lily White Hands.

The owner Of car who cares for his
vehicle to q large extent generally
makes up his mind to having dirty
hands when some periodic and greasy
job falls due There is no real need
for this, as little care beforehand will
obviate the retention of the greasy dirt
afterward. Before starting work on
a greasy piece Of machinery take CYL
inder oil and rub 1t well into the skin.
After the work Is done do not take the
CRIME off by rubbing the hands ON
waste Or cloth Instead put On some
more cylinder oil or any light oil lib
orally, using 1t as you would soap and
water. When the oil has worked un-
der the grease and cut It loose from
the skin wipe the hands thoroughly on
a piece Of waste. When you have w1p-
ed off the oil you will find that It has
taken the CRIME with it, leaving the
hands ready for good wash with soap
and water. If the motor1st will try q
tar soap for this final stage he will be
surprised at the results obtained. Ker-
osene, gasoline or washing powders
should not be used, as they harden the
skin and give it a tendency to crack,
When on the road the hands can be
made fairly presentable by using the
oil wash alone, leaving the soap and
water until reaching the destination
This method of keeping the hands IL
shape Is used by many Of the mechan
les in big repair shops and in motorcal
factories. It is a particularly useful
tip Just at this time, when all the
cars In America are being run out OF
| the garages for their seasons work
most Of them by owners, who have III
decided preference for dirty hands

COOK SPEAKS.
How to Cook Vegetables and Conserve
Their Food Value

How to Cook Vegetables and Conserve
Their Food Value.
It is important that vegetables should
be prepared and cooked in such a way
as to conserve all the available food
material and their mineral salts. The
portion of the vegetable next to the
skin contains the greater quantity of
mineral matter, protein Carrots and
vegetable oysters should be scraped.
Other vegetables should be pared as
thinly as possible.
When the liquid In which the vege-
tables are cooked is drained off It car
ries with it much that is valuable, says
Good Health. AS far as possible this
should be saved and used as the foun-
dalton for soups and sauces.
Vegetables should be cooked only IN
til tender. Many vegetables develop a
strong and unpleasant flavor and are
rendered less easily digested by over
cooking. This is especially true of cab
bage, caulif1ower, etc. When overlook
ed they also take on q reddish hue.
Strong favored vegetables, such as
onions, cabbage and turnips, should be
cooked uncovered.

How to Pull Your Auto Out of Hole.
IF the rear wheels are stuck in the
mud dig holes in front Of the front
wheels for them to fall into to give the
Initial start, and If the car does not
continue then block the rear wheels
instantly and repeat the operation.
Place brush in front Of the rear wheels
and turn them as slowly as possible to
keep from churning. If one rear wheel
is on good road, try putting on the
hand brake fairly tightly to destroy
the action Of the differential, or fasten
the mired wheel so that it cannot turn
and the other wheel will do the work
and slide the mired wheel along the
ground.
The instant you realize you are get
ting stuck in sand or mud stop right
there and look over the situation in
stead of fighting the car and burying

The list of foods here shown has
been tested practically for about two
years The nutritional results have
been excellent, a fact which indicates
better than any theoretical study would
do that the diet combines all the food
elements needed by the body.
If we could devise q plan for fnsur-
ing such diet Or its equivalent to all
the poor people in this city we would
materially reduce our death rate. In
many instances Of malnutrition en-
countered at the departments clinics
the fault is due to ignorance Of what
constitutes proper diet. The depart
ment Of health has been trying to
spread such knowledge for some time.
Certainly this list should prove inval-
liable to the housewife who Is trying
to provide q wholesome diet at a very
limited cost.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
STATES HIS POSITION TO
MR.. STAFFORD.
Always Been Heavy Contributor to
Dry Cause-Is Personally Total
.Abstainer.

About the only election comment OF
any moment in this section is the wet
and dry question and the attitude of
political candidates with reference to
that question. The silence of Mr..
Sleeper on the question, prompted Mr..
Spafford, dry leader in this county
for many years, to write to the repub-
lican candidate for his views. Grant
Hudson, superintendent of the Michi-
gan Anti-Saloon League, told Mr..
Spafford recently that Mr.. Sleeper has
always been one of the largest con-
tributors in his section and his noml-
nation and election is eminently salts
factory to them. The Sleeper letter
fOllows:
Bad Axe, October Is, 1915.
C. d. Spafford,
Charlotte, Michigan:
Dear Sir:-Yours of the 14th is be-
fore me. You of course know just
how / stand upon the question, just
the same as l always have. And you
know what | have done in our own
county. But you must bear in mind
that | am candidate of the republi-
can party, and the party as a party
has taken no position on this question.
Neither has the democratic party as
party taken any stand. Each party
has considered this question as a So
cial, moral and economic question.
You know if l am elected governor, it
will be my duty to see that the laws
of the state are enforced and if the
prohibition amendment Of the cOnsti-
tuition is adopted by the people then it
would become my duty to enforce this
provision of the constitution. If
carries, will do every
thing in my power to make the state
dry and if it does not carry | will do
everything to see that our laws are en-
forced and make stricter ones ifneces-
sary. That is the position | took
when l went into the campaign and l
see no reason for changing it.
Yours very truly,
A. E. SLEEPER.
