"Springfield, HI. Secretary of Stale

himself. His lifeless body, with a
gaping bullet wound In tho titer of
the forehead, and a rovolvor 1 utchod
ill his right hnnd, was dlscomcd ly
ing In the tool room in a g'.lage In
tho rear of his residence.
Mrs. Wood had become alarmed at
her husband's absence Going to the
garago sho found it was locked inside.
A neighbor was called, tho door
forced and In a corner of the tool
room tho body of tho secretary of
state was found.
No noto of explanation was left by
Mr. Woods and tho only clow which
would give a possible Indication for a
cause of tho tragic deed was a bulky
bundle of papors, showing oxtenslvo
dealings In grain through a Chicago
brokerage firm.
There was evidence that tho secre
tary carefully planned tho deed. Ho
had taken off his hut and laid it on
a bench, but did not rumove his
gjasses. An Iron bed had been placod
against tho door leading to the room
and all tho doors wero locked.
John J. Coffey, assistant chief clerk
in the auditor's ofllca, has been placed
in charge of the. office of the secre
tary of state by Gov. Dunne. An ex

It is frequently notod in the dally
preis that tho avorago length of life
is increasing, and this loads many of
us to go very coraplaoontly about our
buelnoss, fooling that In somo way a
paternal power will watch over, caro
for and guard us. This dangerous de
lusion Is entortalnod by a very large
majority of our pooplo, and tho rosult
Is shown in tho steadily climbing mor
tality poroontago for agos abovo forty
yoars.
Docauso the Infanta are so helpless,
the heart of humanity has been
stlrrod by the slaughter among tho
littlo ones, and a vast amount of or
ganlzod work has resulted, producing
an enormous reduction in mortality at
tho Infantile end of tho scale, and this
has had a inatorlal offoct in Bhowing
on avorago llfo extension; but as yet
society has not roachod tho point of
development whero It guards tho ma
turing Individual against tho results
of errors in diot
If wo wero living a' life that even
approximated tho normal thero would
bo littlo danger to bo apprehended
from our food supplies. But under
tho highly artificial conditions of mod
ern urban llfo so many of our foods
are now distributed In original sterile
packagos, "prodigosted" and otherwlso
procoflsod in order to preserve them,
and wo are so far romoved from the
point of origin of our food inattor
that Increasing numbers are losing
all ldoa of tho normal appearance of
natural foods, and tho ability to meas
uro and Judgo Intelligently tho valuo
of tho claims mado by manufacturers.
According to Bungo, tho census
taken Docombor 1, 1900, showod that
of tho 49,362 childron born alive In
Berlin 12,623, more than 25 per cent,
died beforo tho end of their first year,
and this mortality was distributed in
tho proportion of only one In every
13 among tho broast-fed children,' as
compared to ono out of ovory two
among tho hand-fed children. Ger
many undoubtedly leads tho world In
painstaking investigation of food ques
tions and for military reasons the gov
ornmont exercises quite a strong pa
ternalistic supervision over public
food supplies. Undoubtedly this will
account for tho fact that statistics
seem to prove that Germany, among
all tho groat nations, is tho only one
whoso army recruits appear to show
an avorago Increase in staturo and
weight
If wo obsorvo carofully how naturo
has adapted tho composition of milk
to tho needs of ovory Bpeclos of mam
mal, and then consider how ignorant
wo are concornlng tho naturo of food
stuffs and of the process of digestion
In general, It la not a matter of won
der that In splto of tho greatest ef
forts of our exports tho natural diet
of Infants haa not so far been suc
cessfully roplacod by artificial food.
On tho other hand, In view of all tho
data available wo should not bo sur
prised to Qnd that wherover, through
physical nocosslty or as tho result of
Indlfforenco on tho part of mothers,
children are roared artificially, they
tond to show ovidonco of racial degen
eration and disease and "crlmo." Ob
viously, tho samo principles apply to
youth and maturity as they do to In
fancy, and therefore It becomes tho
personal duty of oach Individual to
know what to oat, how to eat It and
why ho eats It.
Bulletin No. 28, United States de
partment of agriculture, bolng "Tho
Choralcnl Composition of American
Food Materials," should hang In tho
kitchen of every hpmo In tho United
States. Tho bulletin can bo bought
from tho superintendent of documents,
government printing offlco, Washing
ton, D. O., postago propald, for ton
cents.
Tho document gives a brief history
of tho Investigation of tho chomtstry
of foods slnco tho first stops made, by
Lloblg somo fifty years ago; it showB
the various cuts of beef, veal, lamb,
mutton and pork, and then gives ta
bles showing tho composition in
water, rofuao, protein, fat, carbohy
drate and ash of various ineatB, ce
reals, vegetables, fruits, dairy prod
ucts and nuts, and tho food valuo of
all as measured by tho calories per
pound, From theso data it la very
easy to figure out and arrange u varied
and balanced ration that will go far
toward solving both tho high cost of
living and tho problom of good health
and happiness.
Much of tho published data on tho
subjoot of dlst Is not readily available
to pooplo In gonoral, for tho rosson
that so muoli Is compiled from foreign
writers, who uio a different system
of wolghts and nieasuroa, and it Is
both tedious and confusing to figure
out and transpoio tho values. In the
tables In bulletin No. 28 tho values
aro given In calories por pound, and
It Is qulto easy to harmonise them
with forolgn data by romomborlng
that ono pound Is oqual to 463.6
grams.
Of course, there Is some trouble
aonnoctod with this matter of person
al oaro regarding one's diet, Just as
somo porsonal thought and troublo
woro domandod of our prehistoric an
costars whon they woro required to
climb a troo to avoid danger. But
this effort on their part enables us to
bo here, and only a like offort on our
part to meot tho dangers of this ago
will permit us to bo represented
among tho living In the future.

It Is Either Too Hot or Too Cold for This Man
n HICAGO. Jim Boyle Is up against It. Jim was born with an unfortunato
- temperament peculiarly averso to temperatures. In fact, temperature, It
might bo said, Is tho bane of Jim's existence. It doesn't matter what kind of
temperature Thero seems to bo only
ono degreo of temperaturo at which
Jim feels well enough to work and
that degred Isn't on tho Chicago
brand of thermometer.
Jim's mlsfortuno was explained to
Municipal Judgo Fry In tho court of ,
domestic relations. It was explained
by Mrs. James A. Boyle, who camo all
tho way from her homo at 1884 Mil

purpose. Mrs. Boyle has wintered and
Bummered with Jim for many yoara
and thoreforo is qualified to tell the effects of heat and cold on his torn
perament. "In tho summer ho lies out on tho lawn your honor," Bho said. "He com
plains of tho heat and says it's too hot to work. Then we hopo for winter,
but when it comes he lies around tho house and warms a loungo all day whllo
I and the children Buffer. He says it's too cold to venture ouL"
"How about It, Boyle?" asked Assistant Stato's Attornoy Eugene O'Reilly.
"Well, you know that heat expands and cold contracts," Jim said. "My
muscles seem to be governed by tho temperature They become loose and
flabby In summer, so flabby I'm too weak to work, I Just can't stand the
heat. Then In winter they get cramped Into, hard knots when I go out of
doors Just llko tho rheumatism. Then when I Btay inside by tho fire whero
It's warm they get flabby again Just like summer. Then I contract colds
easily and the Bnow and hail and Ice "
"Is pretty thin," commented Judge Fry. "Pay your wife $4 a week,
Boyle, -and get a Job, and get it quick. I'm going to keep tab' on you.""

Champion Weeper Vanishes fn Passion of Grief
DETROIT, MICH. As a weeper, George Hughson was a success which
made him a distinct failure as a husband', his wife told' Judge Mandell
when her suit for divorce was tried. He wept and sobbed and talked about a
secret sorrow during alx years of mar

It was that weighed down His heart.
"He was from the first a lugu
brious man,." said Mrs. Hughson. "Ho
seemed to be thrusting a gnawing
heartache into the background all the
time ho courted me, I thought, and he
said that the happiness of being my
husband would dispel his melancholy.
"But the morning after we were
married he began to cry at the break
fast table. Great big tears rolled
down his cheeks and he nearly choked with, violent sobs."
As time wore on Georgo grew more and more addicted to weeping. A
melancholy strain of music or a lively one tho sight of a hearse or an under
done steak wero eauallv efficacious in starting him off on a mad career of
sobs and tears that woufd continue by tho hour. Mrs. Hughson said tbWe
was a certain awful fascination in watching that man weep. Ho did It so
well. She never saw a woman who could weep like her husband. And ho
, seemed to take pride in his accomplishment. He could get moro agony out
of that secret sorrow than most men could out of a bad' caso of hives.

Based on Superstition.
It is easy to understand how some
of the precious stones have acquired
their reputation for occult virtues.
Tho world-famous belief In "sympa-
f thetlc" magic accounts for many of
I them; it is a form of homeopatny
based on the maxim that slmllla slm-
illbus curantur, hut unscientifically
accepting any trace of similarity as
adequate. Thus yellow stoneB, llko
the beryl or topaz, wore thought to
cure Jaundice. Any red stone would
check hemorrhage, though tho blood
stono par excellence is a dark-green
chalcedony or Jasper, splashed with
red markings llko blood drops. Wo
may hazard a guess that tho well
known power of the amethyst to pre
vent drunkenness, hitherto unex
plained, may have originated in its
resemblance in color to the nose of
the confirmed drunkard.
