PRISONER RELATES
WEIRD LIFE STORY
Man SurrenderS to Police at
Anderson With Tale of
Many Crimes.

By United Press
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. Ode
Gliding to square accounts with the
law after twelve years of violating
it, Cornelius McReavy, Al, surren-
dered to Anderson police. He told
an amazing tale of Swindles, frauds
and check forgeries which Melted
him many thousands of dollars and
said the law never was close to
him.
Ralph Rich, captain of detectives,
has checked a part of McReaVy's
story and found that much Of it is
true Inquiries have been sent to all
of the places where the man says
he operated and replies are being
awaited.
Although satisfied that McReavy
is telling the truth, Rich is dubious
as to the motive that caused Nc
Reavy to surrender. Rich believes
McReavy is either wanted for muir
der and wishes to remain in hid
ing or was identified with Chicago
gangSterS.
Admits DESERVING Army
A telegram from army authorities
confirmed McReavy's admission
that he deserted July 90, 1919,
while stationed at aviation field,
Riverside, Cal. The army has no
record of McReavy having embez-
zled a $50 officers mess fund and
theft op pay checks issued to three
fellow soldiers, The checks were
cashed at Venice, Cal.
At Seattle McReavy adopted the
alias of Paul E. Barry and with a
partner organized what was known
as the Great Northern Fur Farms,
Inc. He cleaned up between So 600
and $4,000 on swindle, cashed
bogus checks in the amount of $500
and fled.
He worked as head waiter in the
Congress hotel at st. Louis as Paul
Burns. He overdrew his bank &C
count 5000 and passed bad checks
before leaving st. Louis.
Posing as Ray Barnes he operated
a meat market at GrayWen, Okla.
disappearing after leaving banEin
the lurch for about $500.
McReavy, now Paul B. Kyne, says
he was married to JeWlin AnSbeck,
a wealthy young woman, at Easton,
Pa, where he was employed by the
Delaware Water Gap Fox farm and
associated with aristocratic persons.
After eighteen months residence at
Easton he obtained $1,000 from his
brother-in-law on a fox deal and,
deserving his wife, went to New
York.
Sold Stolen Machines
He worked for the Charles Heath
Company, makers of meat block
leveling machines in New York. One
night he returned to the plant
stole three machines valued at
81 200, and hauled them away in a
taxicab. He sold the machines in
Chicago, which was his next stop
ping place.
! Going to Waterville, Me, Nc
ReaYy assumed the alias Of Paul
Burke and started a silver fox farm.
He sold a pair of foxes to corpora
ton executive. While caring for
the animals he resold them several
times, realizing from $500 to $4,000
on each deal.
He loafed around indianapolis
two weeks before coming to Ander-
son.
Money was always easy for me
1 to get says McReavy. People
seemed to trust me. I saw a chance
to make few thousand at Indian
apols, but passed it up. Most of
the money was spent in riotous liv-
ing. I liked to take a woman COM
panion on a tour of the cabarets. .
McReavy is we'll dressed and edu-
Gated. He says he was born in
Utah.

White Bread VS..
Brown
By DR.. Logan Clendening

An article under the title of
White Bread Versus Brown"
by DR.. James A. Tobey, appears
in the American Mercury and
Is in agreement with the conclu-
SionS expressed many times in
this column. It is wellbal-
anced summary of the advan-
tages and disadvantages of both
white and brown bread. and a
discussion of all that dietary
science knows about bread. DR..
Tobey says that he himself eats
both brown and white bread
and enjoys and profits by both.
Trouble Is Due
The substance that makes
brown bread is, Of course, bran.
One thing that DR.. Tobey
dwells on Is the trouble exces-
sive eating of brown bread or
bran alone will cause. This is
not sufficiently understood.
People who point out the bene-
fits to be derived from brown
bread, sometimes do not stop to
think that for some people who
take their advice it may be &C
tually harmful.
To illustrate this DR.. Tobey
quotes a story from DR.. Walter
c. Alverez, Of the Mayo Clinic:
"A woman who had never been
addicted to bran and whose
health was entirely satisfactory,
visited a sister who was a bran
zealot, because its use had
helped cure her Of serious case
Of constipation. The woman
tried bran, liked it, and began
to use it daily in rather copious
quantities. Very promptly
writes DR.. Alvarez, she devel-
oped such flatulence, abdomi-
nal pain and indigestion that
she had to begin cutting out
one food after the other in an
attempt to find the offending
one. In order to make up for
the loss Of these foods she ate
more BRAN
Just Skin and Bones
by the time the deluded
lady reached the physician, she
was mostly skin and bones. AS
soon as the bran was elirni-
mated from her diet she regained
her normal health"
Bran is, Of course, helpful in
many cases Of constipation, but
it should be taken under the
direction of a physician. There
are certain people whose intes.
tinal tracts are so sensitive that
bran cannot be tolerated at all.
Many Of these people develop
what Is termed mucous colitis."
My mail Is always full Of let
tiers from people who want to
know about this disease, and
how to treat it. Most Of the
cases are complicated and can
not be treated by any one sin.
gle form Of management, but
here is one simple thing, at any
rate, that has helped many
such patients - eliminating
brown bread and bran from the
diet.

When Manners
Are Correct
Opening the Bridge Napkin
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

opening the Bridge Napkin
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
!. I have always been taught
to open a bridge or luncheon
napkin fully instead of merely
halfway, as is done with a
dinner napkin. However, very
often I notice that I am the
only one at the table who does
so. Will you kindly tell me
which is correct?
2. Also, at bridge, when the
refreshments consist Of a salad
and dessert, which fork is used
for the dessert, the salad or
dinner fork?
CONSTANT READER.
/. It is best form, and usu-
ally convenient enough, to open
TIM napkin, any kind Of nap
kin, halfway. It is not neces-
Sary to open it completely.
This depends on the dessert.
For the dessert, if it suggests
using a fork, you may use the
medium sized fork, or the small
fork usually referred to as the
"tea fork" or a salad fork, or a
special fork. The dinner fork
would, I should think, be too
large.

with a man for eight years; he

Marriage" says the Hard

In the name Of honesty, let
us admit it! A husband is
exactly what he always has
been and always will be-the

A woman MUST have some
thing human to cling to, worry

yearn over, appeal to and COM

A lover Is merely q luxury;
a husband is a neceSSity-uSe-

without a tug boat, a watch
without a regulator. Marriage
