VARIETY

Variety in eating is very
important. A monotonous
diet often does not contain
enough salts,
Not only ordinary salt, but
also other minerals such as
iron, calcium and phos,
phorous,
Which keep. the blood and
bones in good condition,
and lack Of which may
result in sickness.
These salts are found in

Mother is Circus Giraffe.

The mother OF the giraffe baby IS
Ringing Brothers giraffe or, to put II
more accurately, Bessie. the mother, is
one Of the prize giraffe herd that makes
Ringlng Brothers g. Barnum Baileys
Circus the greatest show In the whole
solar system. Months ago, so DR. Will
lam T. Hornaday said yesterday, Bessie
was taken out for walk by one of the
Ringing brothers-John or Charles. Dr.
Hornaday couldn't for the moment re
call just which one II was. Mr. Ringing,
leading Bessie. strolled UP 10 The Bronx
and naturally made his way TO the Zoo
logical Gardens. There. also naturally
this Mr.. Ringing, whichever one it was
John or Charles. drifted over to the
giraffe house. still leading BESSIE. Now
let Americas most distinguished natural
ist tell the tale:
1T was a clear case OF love az first
sight" said DR.. Hornaday. Bessie had
no more than reached the giraffe house
when she saw Callph. our splendid
male, and was entranced by him. ! may
say, too. that our Caliph was equally
taken with Bessie. From that day on
the romance OF these young things dc
lighted all OF US. ] myself induced the
RingIings 10 let us have Bessie; to lend
her TO us. that IS 10 say. so that she
would not have to be parted from her be-
loved Caliph. Bessie Is fourteen feet
tall and Caliph. believe. is fifteen or
better. To see the infatuated pair bill
ing and cooling up In the clouds was
worth going miles.
Well" continued Or. Hornaday. "the
result OF the marriage was the baby
that was born some time on Sunday
night. II IS wonderful baby and We
are all crazy about il. Nobody has
done any work around here ali day
Ditmars and myself and the rest Of
Tho staff have spent practically all 81
cur time over at the giraffe house. and
Toomey has camped there since sun

Is a new thing. New things are pract!-
cally unknown In New York. yet we

cribed the escape from destruction
by fire of Mr.. and Mrs. Virgil

Fire originating from an un-
known cause destroyed a cabin and
meat house located within a short
distance of the residence, which was
saved by a strong wind blowing
the flames in an opposite direction.
A negro woman who works for the
family saved the meat, but lost all
her own possessions and purse

Shouse, of Salt Lick, collided with
Stipp's auto on the Maysville pike,
near Millersburg. The ShOuse car
was being driven at the time by
Carl Kircheval, and the Stipp car
by Miss Jessie Crisp, and was occu-
pied by her mother, a guest from
Florida, and Mr.. Stipp. The car
was damaged so that it was sold
few days later for $27, according
to the testimony. Mr.. Stipp was
injured about the head and face
when he was thrown through the
windshield, according to the testi-
mony. Mr.. Stipp suffered $1,000,
and a counter suit for damages in
the sum Of $500 to cover damages
to his car was filed by Shouse. The
jury in the case returned a verdict
giving Stipp judgment in the sum
of $500.
