If one would but be good looking
, at the same time well nour
ished he has but to follow the
j-uies laid down by Dr. Alphons
q ’Woodman, assistant professor
pffood analysis at the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology,
glia eat sugar.
‘It is the food of civilization,"
states Dr, Woodman, thus up
holding the opinion vouchsafed
iX'centb\by Dr. Harvey W. Wil
ey. chief of the government's
chemistry bureau, ‘‘Persons who
Ijave enough sugar in their
food," he continued, “are better
nourished and better looking as
^vel! as more energetic than those
who neglect carbohydrates in
their dietary. This, of course,
is true when other things are
a]ual, for there are evils from a
Jiet of too much sugar.
“In a properly balanced diet
carbohydrates produce heat and
energy, and the quantity of sug
ar or starch to be taken in pro
portion to other foods is a mat
ter of the individual. To lay
do\vn a general rule that couid
be applied to all persons would
be impossible.
“Carbohydrates as contained
in sugars, particularly in honey
or fruit sugar, are very quickly
assimilated. Thus, as much en*
ergy is now expended in the pro-
«ess of digestion as in other
fo^s. This fact is widely recog
nized. For example, in the sel
ection of a stimulant to give an
athlete just before he enters a
race, there is nothing better than
a few lumps of sugar. He can
transform it into energy almost
without losing strength or be
coming tired before the effort of
assimilating it."

HACKS m IHO
OF SON WITH DAZOR
Reading, Pa., Nov. 19.—Be
coming suddenly insane, Charles
H. Melcher, aged 86, a well-
known boss machinist, early to
day killed his 10-year-old son, at
tempted to kill his wife, and then
ended his own life by cutting his
throat with a razor.
During the night Mrs Melcher
was awakened by hearing her
husband exclaim,, “OhGod, have
mercy on my soul.’'
When she opened her eyes she
saw Melcher with a razor in his
hand, which was dripping with
blood.
“Have you killed him?" she
asked her husband, who without
replying, advanced toward her.
The terrow-striken woman,
dragged the body of her son with
her, dashed out of the room. She
left the boy's body on the first
floor and then, clothed only in
her night robe, ran seven blocks
to her mothers home.
When the, police who had been
notified reached Melcher’s home
they found the boy with his head
entirely severed from his body,
lying in the hall, while Melcher,
with his throat cut, from ear to
ear, was lying in an upstairs
room. He died while being re
moved to a hospital,

MAN SCHOOL TEACHES
Lincoln Center, Kan, Nov. 16.
-A flood of affidavits was let
loose in court at the be^nning of
the hearing of the application of
Everett G. Clark, a wealthy mill
er of Shady Bend, for a change
cf venue in the case in which he
and eight other men, are charged
with “assault and battery’* in
connection with the tarring of
Miss Mary Chamberlain last Au
gust, Miss Chamberlain was in
court, accompanied by mother
and brother.
Since Miss Chamberlain was
decoyed to a lonely spot on a
country road and seized by a
dozen men, her clothing torn off
and her body coated with tar
she has remained in close con
finement in the community
where she taught school, and
where it is said her popularity
mth the men caused the jelous
wives and sweethearts to urge
husbands and lovers to inflict on
her, torture which caused a storm
of indignation throughout the
state.
At the court’s opening this
morning. Prosecutor McCanless
stated he had over three hundred
affidavits to offer the court to
prove there is no reason why a
fair trial should not be given all
the accused men in this country.
The “tar party” is the principal
topic discussed.
Pleas of guilty were suddenly
announced by three men accused:
Everett G. Clark, a miller, Wat
son Scranton, a farmer and Jay

Columbia, S. C., Nov. 24.—A
masked white man late tonight
robbed the mail car of Atlanta
Coast Line railroad train No. 55
between Royster and this city,
took the registered letters, stop
ped the the train and jumped ofP
just before the train reached the
city limits.
The Vjalue of the registed mail
stolen is not known, but the let
ters are said to have contained
several thousand dollars. There
is no clue to the identity of the
robter.
The train, westbound frOm
Wilmington, N. C., reached the
Royster blockhouse, two miles
from Columbia, at 11:20 o'clock.-
It stopped there a moment, then
proceeded toward the city. The
robber is*supposed to have board
ed the train at Royster.
Within a few moments after
the train started he made his ap
pearance in the mail car, held up
the two mail clerks at the point
of a pistol and took the registered
letters. He then pulled the bell-
cord and leaped off as the train
stopped.
In the darkness there was no
use to pursue him and the train
continued on its way to this city,
where the robbery was reported.
Detectives are on the hunt for
the robber, but have absolutely
no trace of him.

Bttt for the Grace of God—There
Go
In the December W^oman’s
Home Companion there is a most
interesting talk on charity. Fol
lowing is an extract:
■‘One anecdote especially, I
reckon to have increased my
charity tenfold. Xt «ras that one.
told of a great man who, seeing
a poor and drunken wretch reel
ing along the street, said with
keen wit and stiil keer^er charity
tb his companion, ‘There, but
for the grace of God, go I.’
“Perhaps that does not seem
to you so striking an anecdote.
It did not seem so to me when I
first read it, hut it came back to
rne again and again, and each
time it enriched me. For again
and again, when I saw someone
doing what I would have con
sidered beneath me to do; when
I saw someone a prey to some
weakness not mine, the gentle
tolerance of that great man would
point out to me that but Jor the
grace of God, but for the better
advantages, the greater bless
ings, the lesser temptations in
my own life. I, too, might be
even as this person was. Over
and over it came to me to remem
ber, ‘But for the grace of God—
there go I. ’ .
“I have heard a good many
sermons on Charity, but thia lit
tle incident in a great man's life
seems tf ' me a better sermon
than them all.”
