Fish AZ Brain Food.

Fish Is brain food" Here is an
assertion that we hear repeatedly,
given forth with great sOlemnity.
There Is, however, no foundation
whatever for the belief that fish con-
tains any particular elements that
adapt them especially As food for the
brain or which support mental efforts.
The value Of fish as food to persons
engaged In mental labor is found ia
the fact that fish do not contain large
quantities of those materials that de-
mand much physical exercise or exer-
tion for their complete consumption.
As, the braInworker Is seldom phtsi-
cally active, the value Of fish 40 food
for him Is due to what Ia not con.
tanned In the fish.

MAY BE A SUICIDE

VIM. Long, who was engaged in the
meat and poultry business at Effing.
ham, Kansas, may be a suicide today.
He became involved in business troub-
les and gave check for $3.50 which he
had not sufficient funds to meet and
left for st. Joe, Missouri, to raise cash
to make good his check.
His wife and three children have
been visiting her brother, Dan Free
mayer, and family at Palisade, and the
last letters from her husband showed
worry and indicated suicide. One letter
stated she might never hear from him
again, unless of his body. Another let
ter with Colorado postmark contained
the key to their home and the last word
received was a registered letter post
marked Glenwood Springs. This letter
contained $50, but not q word of ex.
planation. t
Upon investigation here Mr.. Free
meyer learned that Long had registered
at the Hotel Denver about ten o'clock
Friday night, June 20, and slept until
ten O'Clock the next morning at which
time he left the hotel. This is the last
seen or heard of him. Mrs. Long left
Palisade Thursday the 21st for Effins-
ham and it would seem that she must
have passed her husband en- route.
Freemeyer has not seen his brother
in-law for ten years, but describes him
as 40 years old, about 8 feet 10 inches
tall, weighing about 1a5 pounds, has
dark hair and eyes and Il wearing .

shoulder on the bridge. The horse con-
tinued its speeding and badly damaged

DR.. Crook reports Mr.. Hayes was out

Judge Noonan has had long letter
from his son, John who is now in the
big Kellogg sanitarium at Battle Creek,
Michigan. John says that is just about
the busiest place he has ever seen and
he thinks it is about as difficult to
get an audience with the superintend-
ent as with President Wilson. The
diet, which is the chief part of the
treatment, is considerable of novelty
to John as when he takes his place at
the table he finds card telling him
just what he may eat. He is feeling
quite well and his father feels quite
encouraged at the progress already in
dicated.

Mark Of Cain

The undesirables who were
driven out of the "Boogerhole"
community in Clay county seem
to be bent upon settling in Brax-
ton. Some who had found their
way to this county were sent
back to Clay, but that county
wouldn't stand for it for the
fraction of a minute and drove
them forth again with threats of
violent treatment if they dared
venture back there. We are re-
liably informed that one of the
worst families of the whole bunch
have settled a short distance
from Sutton and that the people
of the neighborhood in which
they have "squatted" are highly
incensed over the matter. Brax-
ton county is a law-abiding and
peacable community and does
not want any such people within
her limits. - Braxton Central.

Sampson Attempts to Break Jail

Howard Sampson, the convict
ed "Boogerhole" murderer con-
fined in the county Jail here,
made desperate and almost sue
cessful attempt to regain his
freedom last Friday night. He
tore out the closet in his cell and
got down into the air shaft,
from which window opens to
the outside, but which is secured
by iron bars. He had torn away
the window casing, but failing
to complete the job, went back
to his cell and was there at
breakfast time Saturday morn
ing. Some children playing back
of the Jail noticed that the win
dow casing was torn off and mott
fled Jailer Hyer, who made an in
vestigation and found out the
above facts. Several attempts
have heretofore been made by

who has succeeded in gaining
