lawyer.
Mr.. Spaan. who has participated in
more than 400 murder cases, came to
America in 1853 from Holland, when
he was one year old. The trip was
made in a sailing vessel which took
six weeks to cross the ocean.
His parents settled in Chicago, but
later moved to Iowa City. There
young Spaan went to school, work

period, was considered big money" "

work full time IN the brickyard lie
possessed the ambition to become a
lawyer, and, by reading law from
borrowed books and saving most of
his earnings. was able to enter the
University Of Iowa Law School, which
he attended for two terms. He was
forced to stop because of lack Of
funds
First Case Famous
Back to the brickyard he went and
worked until he was % years old.
Then he entered the legal profession
and in 1875, came to indianapolis.
His first big case was the famlus
Bolan murder case of 1873. On St
Patrick's day an Irishman was shot
down in the heart of the city during
the parade. 1fr. Spans client, the
assailant, was acquitted on a plea OF
sef-defense.
Closely following this case was the

was accused of the murder by poison

The custom OF wearing this sort Of apparel prob

YOUR HEALTH By cd DR.. R, S.

During the winter season many a
person in the great cities attends
one or two banquets>each week. II
he does not attend a banquet he
goes to a formal dinner or two. At
the banquet six or eight courses are
served. The competing hotels strive
10 excel in the tempting and lavish
dishes presented to the guests.
Most affairs of this type are
scheduled to begin at Z O'Clock. You
hurry home from business or rush
through your household affairs, get
into your evening clothes, nearly
break a blood-vessel in your haste
TO get 70 the appointed place. arrive
there fifteen minutes late and then
have to wait an hour before every
one sits down 10 eat.
By this time YOU are famished and
have not character enough left to
refuse a single course. You crowd
your stomach with all sorts of foods.
sit in a room c1ouded with tobacco
smoke, stay up long past your usual
hour for bed. and get up the next
day feeling that your body is the
remnant of a misspent life
Food ENcesses Harmful
The healthy individual can with
stand the effects Of a reasonable
rumf5er of such experiences but il
must be said that the habitual din
circuit is taking chances with his
health.
l would not have any one lead a
life OF austerity. but reasonable care
must be exercised if you are to live
to ripe old age.
A powerful constitution will en-
dure all such attacks against the
foundations of health, but the wise
man will exercise great care in this
matter.
Excuses in eating are frequently
the result Of excessive hunger. The
best arrangement Of the meal hours
is 10 have them so timed that the
6ema uds of the stomach are salts
fed before the appeal has been con-
tinued so long as to become clam
orous.
