FALL AND WINTER DIETS SHOULD
 INCLUDE SWEETS
Desserts, Jellies, Canned
 Fruits, Candies and Gran berry Sauce Are Appropriate

Winter diets demand fuel food. To disregard this rule leads. to low cred vitality, the result of which is sickness.
 Food that contains, or i. served with refined sugar is good fuel food. Cereal, fresh or steWed fruit, jcllies, jams, preserves, sweetened bever- ages and desserts belong to this class and every meal affords an opportunity to serve them.
 At this time of the year, cram berries in some form are appropri- ate at any meal. Serve them as . jelly for breakfast; as a sauce with meats; in puddings and pies for desserts.
 Business people can avoid and overcome fatigue by eating or drinking something sweet in mid afternoon. There is wide variety of such snacks available every where-candy, cakes, beverages and ice cream. A glass of water sweet ened with sugar-the athletes cocktail'--vill always prove invig- orating. In eating and drinking these foods and beverages, the sugar is quickly digested and it's energy is immediately available. Most foods are more delicious and nourishing with refined sugar.

BROTHERS IN ROW
 OVER BEDCLOTHES
Youth Speaks Graphically of Two
 Murders and Suicide

Joseph Stawski of 16S Curtis street although only little man. be- ing just Is years old, and standing somewhat under five feet with his high heeled shoes on, talked in a big way when arraigned on charge of breach of the peace and assault at todays session of police court when he was asked by Judge Stan- ley J. Traceslli if he had any ex- planation to offer for assaulting his brother.
 Joseph assured the court that he did have something 10 say and when he took the stand he assumed a Napoleonic pose and in a thunder GUS voice delivered the ultimatum that there would be two murders and one suicide in this city if the army did not get him.
 Having delivered this astounding news to the courtroom he sauntered from the witness stand to the pris- oner's pen. He had not gone very far when he was halted by Judge Traccski and Assistant Prosecutor Greenstein. Placed back on the stand he was asked why he had as sumed such an attitude. To which question he replied that his family had contrived for some time to get rid of him.
 His trouble came about. he told the court. wnen his brother came il! 10 the bedroom last night while he was asleep. He was suddenly arou5- d by the chilly night breezes when his hinsman had taken all the bed clothing and appropriated them for his own comfort. Feeling that he was entitled to some protection, he grabbed the bed clothing and de- manded that the brother give them all to him. This arrangement did not please the brother and g. tussle or the right to be covered ensued. During the struggle he told the court that he "clouted" his brother in the Jaw. This was the last straw. It was more than the brother could stand and he made the complaint to Officer Dombroski which resulted in Joseph's arrest.
 Officer Dombroski testified that he found Joseph in a belligerent mood when he arrived at the home. Judge TraCeski after hearing all phases ot the case, imposed a fine of SIC and costs and placed Stauski under the care of Probation Officer Connolly until the fine is paid.

COMEDY PRESENTED.
 BY PARISH PLAYERS
St. Joseph's Cast Pleases Large
 Audience With "ApplSauce'

Enthusiastic and ell-deserved applause was accorded St. Joseph s
 Players presentation of the three act comedy "Applesauce" in Tabs
 hall last night. The entire perform
 ance cast considerable credit on
 John F. Callahan, director of the players. The attendance was large.
 Miss Catherine Callahan as Hazei Robinson had a role that kept her on the stage longer than any other character in the play and added D the almost endless lines she had 10 ing perfectly miserable in the second act and overwhelmingly happy in the third. Hazel was confronted with the problem of choosing be- tween a man who had position and wealth and one who was jobless and whose only stock in trade was an inexhaustible supply of apple sauce."
 Mrs. Edward Hannon as Ma Rob- inson was charming mother who thought that Rollo Jenkins for tune didn't exactly constitute men, ace to happiness Her husband, Pa Robinson, peevish most of the time, really loved his wife and daughter but thought it unsecmly to show it. Thomas Crcan did clever end effect i've work by keeping continually peeved no matter how humorous the situation was otherwise.
 Joseph Callahan as Rollo gave a portrayal of a young man engaged 10 be married and angered by his girls attentions to man. His jealousy furnished the plot for the entire play because it was due to his domineering ways that Hazel began to doubt whether her marriage 10 him would be happy.
 Bill McAllister is a type that is we'll known 10 everyone and is the especial dread of fathers with mar daughters. Actually he was tracks but his blarney convinced Hazel that he could make her hap py and it convinced his uncle that he should take Bill into the coal business. Robert Began as young gave a demonstration of "Applesauce" that would have done credit to used car salesman. His uncle. Matt McAllister was deter mined to put Bill behind the bars but even he fell a prey to his line. William Fowler did a difficult job well when he trans formed the stern man he had been into the genial Santa Claus of an uncle that Bill wanted him 10 be.
 Miss May O'Sullivan as Mrs. Jen- nie Baldwin lent a humorous touch 10 the third act by her visit to the flat. Her ability to be serious while throwing everyone else into paroxysms of laughter is a rare gift.
 "Applesauce" vii be repeated to- night.

New York, Nov. 20 LP-Flames which literally shout words and broadcast music are on exhibition at a three nights meeting of the New York Electrical society here.
 They are the blazing gases of a carbon electric arc, made vocal by hooking them up like a telephone received and having their current modulated by vacuum tubes.
 The use of the carbon arc as loud speaker was demonstrated fov the first time last night by Sergius P. Grace, assistant vice president of the Bell Telephone laboratories. He was assisted by K. M. Pease.
 vibratc to Sounds
 The flames in the arc vibrate just like an ordinary sound diaphragm. They reproduce sound with nearly the volume of a dynamic loud speaker. Their quality is not good. But no one knows. MT. Grace said, what use may be found for them.
 The speaking arc was developed in the Bell Telephone laboratories here from a discovery made years ago by H. B. Hayes, a telephone en- gineer, who caused such an arc to speak in just barely audible whisper.
 A tiny photograph pickup which weighs, including its sapphire needle, one tenth as much as postage stamp, also was announced by Mir. Grace for the first time.
 This instrument is the latest step toward the perfect recording of sound and was developed in the Bell MT. Grace said it re- cords high notes hitherto unattaina- ble without fuzziness. It raises the former limit of clear recording from about eight thousand oscillations second to 12.000, and takes in the very topmost notes of a violin.

RELIEF FROM CURSE
 OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Creek physician says, Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause"
 But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Or derlies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the sys- tenn into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon.
 The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle, thorough. natural movement without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose.
 Stop suffering from constipation. Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night. Next day bright. Get 4 for 25c to- day at the nearest Liggett or RexaIl Drug Store.

Since this is rumoriand de luxe, one
NAV as we'll settle for once and all the

Nothing is further from the minds OF
that unit than a reconciliation with the
lovely Janet Gaynor. Plans are on full
