DETAILS ALMOST TOO mEAGER
Example Of the over-simpie story -
Il 10 Sometimes Told in
Public Prints.

One Of the pet fancies Of American
newspaper men is that a news story
should be told simply. clearly and with
out unnecessary verbiage. However,
II is possible to run this practice into
the ground, as the contemporary nc
count Of the death Of William Bamn
makes evident. Baffin was the discov-
erer OF Baffin bay. and some consider
able citizen i'm his day. In his round
of duty for old England il became Nee
essary to slap the Portuguese on the
wrists, and he went ashore on the Ara
bian gulf so to do. Eleanor Franklin
Egan digs up the story Of his death
among the archives. written by a con-
temporary, as follows:
master Baffin went on shore with
his geometrical instruments for the
better leveling Of his piece to make his
shot. but as he was about the same he
received small shot from the castle
into his belly, wherewith he gave three
leaps, by report. and died Immediate
~"
This is almost as meager OF detail as
the letter of George Beezer to HIS
mother: "The weather is quite cold !:
father died yesterday: hoping you are
we'll, as this leaves me, I am" etc.
When prominent citizen is shot
nowadays. the fellow who does the
leaping is the police reporter. hot on
the trail for all the facts. The Baffin
story conforms to rule, but it conforms
too closely. showing that good thing
may easily be Overdone-G. NJ r. in

change of diet-will make US all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. 1t is so
easy to become overheated on
blazing hot day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us food
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not SO much the diet
as to keep the poison from start
ing trouble. You can easily do
this If you will just take tablet or
two Of EATONIC after your meals.
