John Artz Seriously
Injured by Bandits

John Artz, 1929 Dickerson avenue,
Detroit, Michigan, was struck on
the head with the butt of a re-
volver at 1880 a. m. by two BAN
dts who were attempting to rob the
grocery store of C +. Smith and Co. at
1471 Kercheval avenue Artz, who is
manager of the store, was found I'M
conscious by customer and taken to
Receiving Hospital, where physicians
said he had fractured skull.
The bandits entered the place be-
fore Artz had transferred the store
money from a hiding place under a
counter to the cash register. Failing
to find the money, they demanded he
disclose its whereabouts. He refused
and they beat him and fled in an auto
mobile.
The above article was taken from
Detroit paper which was sent to Mr..
George P. Helsley, by his son Mervin
Helsley who is engaged in business in
Detroit, Mich. Mr.. Artz is a former
Shenandoah County man whose
many friends greatly regret to hear of
this misfortune, yet honor his bravery
in defying the bandits.

SOME GOOD HEALTH ADVICE
Just as Valuable Today as When Put
Forward by Wise Old Benjamin
Franklin.

Eat and drink such an exact guam
tlty as the constitution of thy body al
lows of, in reference to the services OF
thy mind.
They that study much ought not to
eat as much as those that work hard,
their digestion being not so good.
The exact quantity and quality being
found out, is to be kept to constantly.
Excess In all other things whatever,
as well as In meat and drink. is also
to be avoided.
Youth, age and sick require differ
ent quantity.
And so do those of contrary COM
plexions; for that which Is too much
for phlegmatic man. is not sufficient
for choleric.
The measure of food ought to be tas
much as possibly may be) exactly pro-
portionable to the quality and condi-
lion of the stomach, because the stom-
ach digests 1t.
That quantity that is sufficient, the
stomach can perfectly concoct and d.
gest, and 1t suficeth the due nourfsh-
ment Of the body.
A greater quantity Of some things
may be eaten than others. some being
of lighter digestion than others.
The difficulty lies in finding out an
exact measure: but eat for necessity,
not pleasure; for lust knows not where
necessity ends.-Benjamin Franklin

Before the Readers Eyes.

Through some paddocks and bel!
Of trees you come first to the wool
shed, quiet now, for the time Of shear
ing is past. You pass through a
white gate and as you descend the
steep drive you see the house at the
bottom Of the hill-a long low bunga-
low, gayly painted in two shades of
apple green, with dull red roof. By
it runs a little creek, which widens
into a dam at he foot of the garden.
The hill above the house is golden
with waffle, the scent, too heavy In
doors but delicious In the open, fills
the air. In the garden beside tell
clump of bamboo, a black waffle with
feathery leaves and pale yellow Bios
SONS hangs over the water. There are
great punches Of freesias, antirrhln
ums tall as bushes, double pink peach
blossoms and scarlet carnations.
A black swan swims up and down
the water; he stretches out his long
neck and utters his queer cultural
cry. From the veranda you can see
| on the skyline long low hill, bare
| of trees, but green in the distance.
There are no mists; all the outlines
are sharply defined against the blue
sky. The frogs keep up q continuous

a cricket, but with an occasional deer
note as though a harp string had
been struck.
Later the moon will rise and the
magpies delight your ear with their
harmonious MARBLE all the night long.
