HEARTY BREAKFAST Is O. K.
French Medical Professor Urges Euro
peans to Follow Example Of
Americans.

, Bordeaux, France.-The American
breakfast of ham and eggs, liver and
bacon, beefsteak or other meat, vege-
tables and porridge, as a substitute for
the meager European morning meal, Is
recommended for France by Doctor
Bergonie, professor Of the Bordeaux
medical faculty.
Doctor Bergonie regards this substi-
tuition as one Of the reforms most like
ly to relieve the economic situation, by
providing rational nourishment and
avoiding a great deal Of waste.
! He bases his argument on the fact
that man requires sustenance most at
the beginning of the day when he Is
about to make his effort, whereas in
Europe he takes his principal meal
when his days work is half through,
! when he is half tired out and is in
capable of so ~digesting his meal as to
give him proper support for the rest of
the days work.

Keep the Land at Work.

Let us not this season-as we
often do-waste all the work of
cultivation we give to the early
vegetable crops, by letting the land
grow up in grass and weeds as the
crops ripen. But rather let us keep
the tools of cultivation running a
little later. then, without further
working of the land, plant other
crops that will mature better in the
fall or during the winter. Late
corn, turnips, ~parsnips, rye, oats,
etc.. may well follow the old pota-
to crop or the land may be seeded
to grass, clover or alfalfa at little
extra expense, and these crops 60 in

Good land is required to produce
fine crops of Irish potatoes and it
will be almost a sin this year to let
rich land-that is already in good
seed bed condition-grow up in
wild grass and weeds. We often
work the potato land just as the
plants are maturing and plant corr
between the rows. then while the
potatoes are being dug the corn is

ambitious to try their luck on the
ocean with rod and reel. and were
going out in the boat with MIR. Clark

II years OF age. Writing to Colonel
Buckner Harry Clark says:
The other day Jake and Henry
brought the boat around to take out
DR.. Draper and Professor Brown. but
it was so windy I would not let him
go and ordered the boat back to the
lake. George and I jumped in to 90

ing that the sea was fairly surging
through this narrow entrance 10 the
lake, George and I unbuttoned our oil
skin coats in order TO be ready for
any emergency. It was we'll we did
so as big sea caught us and turned
our boat upside down in less time
than it takes to tell IT, We had to
swim twenty-five or thirty minutes be-
fore some fishermen picked us up.
Immediately after the boat upset we
swan back and climbed upon it's bot
tom but whenever a wave came we
were washed off. We would swim
back only TO have this performance
repeated, and as there was not sign of
succor I suggested to George that we
strike out and swim for the shore.
George and I started for the shore.

PRISONER Takes
BLAME FOR ROBBERY
Myers Denies That Xii.
course Had Part in
Taffey Hold Up
CASE WILL GO
TO JURY LATER

A highway robbery case tried in the
Court Of General Sessions, at the last
term, was re-heard today before Judge
Boyce, owing to the arrest in Janu-
airy, or John Kilcourse, the third mem
Der Of the gang, who we're alleged to
nave held up and robbed John Taffey,
an aged man, at Front and Orange
streets, on the night OF December ..
1916. Joseph Myers, one of the gang,
was convicted at the January term Of
court and is serving his sentence. The
other member Of the gang was found
not guilty Kilcourse disappeared
after the robbery.
Taffey's volubility on the witness
stand led l.. Irving Handy, counsel for
the defendant, to observe that Taffey
had evidently been Vrinking. The
suggestion came after Taffey had ad-
mitted. in answer to Mr.. Handy's
question, whether he was drunk on
the occasion of the robbery, that he
had had two whiskeys and two beers
between 1890 o'clock and 6.45 o'clock.
but that "a man couldn't get drunk
on that"
The evidence was to the effect that
the three men rushed upon Taffey
and while one held his legs and
Myers clapped a hand over his
mouth. Tilcourse thrust a hand into
Taffeys trousers pocket and extract
ed a ive-dollar bill and some change,
tearing the pocket in the act.
Can you show the jurors that torn
pocket?" Attorney-General David J.
Reinhardt asked
In answer Taffey began loosening
sundry buttons and buckles in the
vicinity of his waist line. and the
jurors gasped.
Don't be alarmed. the witness has
on two pairs Of pants. gentlemen"
Mr.. Reinhardt reassured. The slashed
pocket was soon disclosed.
Kilcourse denied any part in the
robbery.
Myers who had been brought from
the workhouse for the purpose Of
testifying, cOrroborated Kilcourses
denial Of any part in the robbery. and
took upon himself the entire re
sponsbility.
Judge Boyce dismissed the Jurors
in tile case until $50 o'clock this
afternoon. when court will reconvene
and he will charge the jury.
