This diastase is absolutely necessary | p digest starch and turn it into grape- ! jugar, which is the next form; but that part of the wheat berry makes dark Sour, and the modern miller cannot feadily sell dark flour, rr nature's val:v . >able digester is thrown out and the bcman system must handle the starch is best it can, without the help that Nature intended. Small wonder that appendicitis, peritonitis, constipation, and all sorts of trouble exist when we so so contrary Jo Nature's law.

Collier dasheil beneath the Port Jefferson express train of the Loug Island Railroad at the railroad station here. In the automobile were George Bishop, the chauffeur, and Fred Whitehead, the valet of Mr. Collier. The two men were killed instantly. The big automobile was smashed into bits. The train was running at sixty miles an hour. The two men were speediug in the machine to the Meadowbrook Club with the polo trappiugs of Mr. Collier. A practice game was scheduled and Mr. Collier had left his country place on the Whitney estate at Wheatly Hilis and gone to the polo Held with his ponies and grooms. nion n?Aro flolnrftrl in or^f ting started, and the driver sent the machine ahead at great speed. It shot through the village of Westbury, and when near the depot Henry Wanzer, a butcher, who had heard the approaching train, called out to the pair, but he was not heard. Wanzer says that he pulled out his handkerchief and waved it. but that they evidently thought he was waving them a greeting, for the valet smiled and waved, his haud in reply. The automobile struck the tracks as the express thundered by. The low front of the car ran right under the second coach of the train. There was a terrific roar and crash as the big machine was dragged under the train and forced along the track, pinned in before the rear trucks. The machine was torn into fragments, and the two occupants were dragged under the train for 300 yards. That the train was not derailed was considered wonderful by the onlookers. The crossing where the accident oc curred is one or tne most dangerous on Long Island. Automobilists ordinarily are cautious in approaching it. It was at this same crossing that Henry Fournier. the French driver, was injured with several others who were following W. K. Vanderbilt. Jr., in marking out the course for the first Vanderbilt cup race two years ago. The two men who were killed were thirty years old. Bishop, the driver, was married. CAMPAIGN IN SAMAR ORDERED.

Glory and wealth are his, for his enthusiastic countrymen, not content with mere physical appreciation of his splendid achievement, have gone into their pockets e and produced money for him.

The daughter was waving a farewell to her fiance, Ernest James, when her father crept up behind her and struck her down with an axe. The family and James had moved to their cottage only five days before. Cole, who was fifty years old, had been employed for years as an engineer on the Hamilton Avenue Ferry to Brooklyn. He was a hard worker, seldom drank, and was fond of his family. The daughter was a child of his first wife, who had been dead some years. She was his especial pet, and when, about a year ago, she became engaged to James, a plumber, three years her senior, tie treated tne youDg ( man as a son. ^ Martin Meyers, a farmer, driving to j early market, saw the father kill the daughter and then commit suicide.

A/ill Be Extinct in Few Years--lntroduced But a Year Ago, Habit Has Seized Men and Women Alike--700 in an Orgie. Sioux City, Iowa.?Within twentyive years the once powerful tribe of iVlnuebago Indians will have become ;xtinct. The mescal bean, imported rom Mexico by a "medicine man" less han twelve mouths ago, is killing hem off at an alarming rate. The treat White Father at Washington is )owerless to interfere with the wild >rgies that are so rapidly depopulate ng the tribe. The history of the America': Indian :ontains no parallel of the terrible .'ondition to which this mysterious and ;eductive little bean has brought the iVinnebagoes within a few brief nouths. The Wiunebagoes occupy L5.000 acres of as tine land as the suu iver shone on, just across the river rom Sioux City. They are at once ? - ? i- 1 4 lie ncuesi aim mutst ueuuuiucu uiuc >f Indians in existence. They have a eserve fund of $1,000,000, or $1000 for tach member of the tribe, and are also )ermitted to convert their laud iuto :asli under the "heirship" law at a apid rate. Add to this their regular illowance from the Government and t is apparer. they have an abundance if ready cash. For the past five years the Gover neut has been trying to reform the iViunebngoes. They had become so lepraved that their death rate was wice as rapid as the birth rate. The Irink and cigarette liabits were responsible for their undoing. Every Indian, with but four exceptions, was l drunkard and a cigarette fiend. L'hey liad grown to absolutely ignore be marriage relation and, under the nfluer.ce of liquor, committed murder vith impunity. Their code of honor >reveuted any member of the tribe jiving testimony against a brother red nan, and it proved practically imposiible to secure a conviction. The Inliau Commissioners' reports showed he tribe was the worst in the United States. Such was the condition when the nescai beau orgies were inaugurated ast summer. Since then it has become nfinitely worse. Under the peculiar nfiueuce of this deadly bean the CViunebagoes are dying like sheep. It las taken the guise of religious mania, mder which the merest children are jompelled to become slaves to the Irug. Young and old vie in the weird lances that attend the weekly orgies. A recent orgie was witnessed by a jroup of newspaper men through the courtesy of the agent at the reservaion. More than 700 of the 1000 Iniians on the reservation participated n the strange ceremony, which was leld on, a beautiful tract near Flagstaff. in the heart of the reservation, tfush-que-nah-pah, an Intelligent maxon who graduated from one of the eading Indian schools of the country, ivas detailed to conduct the visitors :o the scene of the orgie. because of ler ability to converse fluently in Englsh. ' "Bean takes us on great journey," jhe explained en route. "We want to risit our brothers in some far off tribe >r talk to those who have gone to Happy Hunting Ground. All we need lo is drink tea made from bean and Eve're there. Journey is beautiful. Birds sing in trees and sweet fragrance s wafted from many flowers as we :ravel. We find deer and prairie chlckm everywhere the eye turns and our :amp fires send up rich odors of cookng flesh. We are very happy and have >11 ph ennr! Hme we want to 20 on 10U1' ley again soon." "They steal their children away from he Government school," explained i^gent McFatridge, "in order to teach &em to love the bean. Tots are numjered among its devotees and their lealth is rapidly undermined." As a result of the mescal orgies, the complexion of the Indians has turned to a ghastly yellow. Every man, woman and child appears to be in the last stages of consumption. There is ao law against the use of the bean, ind the Iudians are not disorderly while under its influence, so the Government authorities are unable to intervene to save the tribe from its impending doom.

Warrants Issued For Real Estate Agents--Leaders of Fashion Know How Property is Used. Pittsburg, Pa.?Warrants have been issued agaiust a large number of men and women who occupy high positions in the most exclusive social circles of Pittsburg. These warrants charge that the persons to be served have knowingly allowed their properties to be rented for immoral purposes. Such arrests have been rumored for some time, but there was no actual scare in pink tea circles until warrants were actually served upon two members of the Aronsou Realty Company and a number of real estate agents, charging them with renting houses for immoral purposes. These agents are wanted principally for the information that can be gleaned at their trials regarding the owners of the houses. A number of society women receive immense incomes from their real estate holdings in the red light district, as they are rented from $125 to $300 a month. Most of these women inherited the properties, and the "tainted" revenues have helped them maintain social positions for years. They were fully cognizant of the purpose for which the houses were used, but overlooked that in view of the handsome rentals they secured. Having been immune from police interference for many years, they have come to look upon the rental of their property for immoral purposes as a perfectly proper business proposition. Attorney Marron said that the matter has gone-far enough to warrant the declaration that Pittsburg is going to have the greatest crusade against vice ever undertaken in any American city. Not only have the people directly in charge, of these resorts had a little circle of their own, but they have been surrounded by all manner of grafters, who have lived fat on their earnings. Department stores have dealt heavily with the women of the Tenderloin, "and several of the largest merchants in Pittsburg employ women to work among the denizens of thltf'- undej world and sell them their silks and fineries. The municipal authorities have long had a clutch upon their pocketbooks, while the revelations concerning members of Council are already such that three of them are under bail for the Grand Jury and are facing expulsion from Councils. For a single month's work, Mr. Marron believes, the crusade has shown a wonderfully healthy beginning. A number of ministers chose the crusade for a topic on which to address their congregations. Much less condemnation was heaped upon the miserable Magdalenes of the red-light district than was showered upon the women of the front pews and the respectable business men who rent their properties to these people at enormous figures, such as no respectable person could afford to pay. AMERICAN CONSUL KILLED. Workmen Shoot William H. Stuart From Ambush in Russia. , ' Batoum, Transcaucasia.?William BE. Stuart, the American Vice-Consul here, was shot and killed in his country place.

Washington, D. C; ? Vice - Consul Stuart was an Englishman, forty-nine years old, and had filled the position for about two years. At the time ol his death he was acting Consul.
