STiCHEtf WES,KILLS Flit Four Workmen and a Merchant Are Victims at Providcncs. Mysterious Accident Wrecks a Fac tory and Makes an Odd Spec tacle?Probable Cause. Providence, R. I. ? Five persons were killed by the explosion of a miser in the starch factory of C. S. / Tanner here.

Chase, Richard Gomes, John Dautt and two workmen known only as Mike and Tony. , The starch factory was an old j brick structure of three stories. The j exact cause of the explosion remains | to be determined. Mr. Tanner inti- | mated that it may have been due to a | spark from defective electric wiring, i ; igniting the starch mixture prema turely. The explosion tore away a great hole in the centre of the building and carried away the larger part of the roof. There was an upward rush of smoke, names ana a line puwuwr, which looked like a white cloud, and through this could be seen portions of timbers and bricks falling within the' building, and outside its walls as well.

L INSTEAD OF PINES s by Spending Day as Common Prisoner Sentence Not Favored. sentence is not a harsh punishment. Time is the only thing we have in common, and I have the conviction that the equitable punishment for crime would be the abolition of fines and the imposing of imprisonment under the indeterminate sentence.

Doctor, in Oread of Homicidal I Mania, Killed Himself. Physician, Told That He Was Going ! I Mad, Took Poison?Left Letters in Wifn nnri Children. Utica, N. Y.?The ^details of the suicide in Malone a few days ago of j Dr. Stacy Dwight Williamson, a lead- I ing physician of that community, re-1 veal that, prompted by eipert medi-! cal opinion that he was rapidly de veloping homicidal insanity and that in an unguarded moment he might attack his two small children or his beautiful young wife, the doctor made his will, dressed himself for the grave and swallowed a quantity of morphine, which caused his death. Dr. Williamson had a very lucra tive practice, was a leader in golf and automobile circles in Malone and with his wife moved in exclusive so cial circles. He was of a jovial dispo sition until a year ago, when he was seized with a fit of melancholy and confided to his wife that his mother and another relative had died of hom icidal insanity and expressed the fear that he, too, would meet such a fate. Last summer he appeared to shake off his melancholy spell, golf, auto ing and outdoor sports and a tour of camp service with a National Guard company accomplishing a great deal toward this end. This winter, however, he devel oped another moody spell, and two weeks ago informed his wife that he was going to consult two of the phy sicians at the Ogdensburg State Hos pital with a view to ascertaining whether or not he was doomed to in sanity. Leaving his practice in the care of another Malone physician Dr. Williamson took a morning train over to Ogdensburg, and in the evening he returned with a message that shattered hops in his household. His medical friends at the Ogdensburg State Hospital had Informed him af ter a careful examination that his worst fears would eventually be real ized and that he was liable to become violently insane without a moment's warning. Dr. Williamson's mind was quickly made up as to his course of proced ure. One morning several days later he arose in apparently better spirits than usual, summoned his coachman and made calls on such of his patients as needed his immediate attention. Then he drove home, wrote letters to his wife and each of his' children, telling them he was doomed to insan ity and preferred death to existence in a madhouse, also mentioning their peril as long as he remained unre strained. Dr. Williamson then went to his sleeping apartments, took a bath, shaved himself, attired himself in his best clothing, swallowed a dose of ttu ?;#? morpmne ana lay on a ueu. ms wuc found him there a few momenta af terward, and despite his assurance that he was not ill she summoned three physicians. They cime prompt ly, but Dr. Williamson Informed them that their services were useless, that he had taken poison and would be dead in half an hour. Then he kissed his wife and children good-bye, as suring them he had done the proper thing, lapsed into unconsciousness and died in just half an hour, aa he bad said he would. FIVE SHOT TO DEATH.

Carey in his book on ' "The Biochemic System of Medietas" says: "When the medical profession fully understands the nature and range of \ the phosphate of potassium, insane y asylums will no longer be needed. i ;v "The gray matter of the bratn is \ controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, potassium phosphate. "This salt unites with altramen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve-fluid, or the gray matter of the brain. [ "Of course, there is a trace of other \ ] salts and other organic matter In JI nerve-fluid, but potassium phosph&t* / J is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by Its own V law of affinity, all things needed to I manufacture the elixir of life. There- 1 fore, when nervous symptoms arise, \ due to the fact that the nerro4l?I<l has been exhausted from any cause, the phosphate of potassium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the de ficiency. "The ills arising from too rapidly consuming the gray matter of the JM brain cannot be overestimated. vH "Phosphate of Potash, is to my V mind, the most wonderful curative ' agent ever discovered by man* and the blessings It has already conferred on the race are many. But 'what shall the harvest be* when physicians ' everywhere fully understand the part ' this wonderful salt plays in the pro cesses 01 llie'f n wm ao as mucu as can be done through physiology to "" make a heaven on earth. "Let the overworked business man take ft and go home good-tempered. Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung from attending to sick ehfldren or en tertaining company, take it and not? how quickly the equilibrium will bG restored and calm and reason assert her throne. No 'provings' are re quired here. We And this potassium . salt largely predominates in nerve fluid, and that a deficiency produces well-defined symptoms. The begin ning and end of the matter is to sup ply the lacking principle, and is molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain.

Those who have been helped to Detter health by the use of Grape-Nuts are legion. , "There's a Reason." BRAIN POWER < 4 Increased by Proper Feeding. 1 A lady writer who not only haa done good literary work, but reared . a family, found fn Grape-Nuts the ] ideal food for brain work and 1.o de velop healthy children. She writes: , "I am an enthusiastic proclaimer of ( Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. 1 for- * merly had no appetite in the morning ' and for 8 years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them. "Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything I happened to find. Being a writer, at times my j head felt heavy and my brain asleep. "When I read of Grape-Nuts I be nnfinor it ouarv mnrnirf nlsn gave it to the children, including my 10 months old baby, v<ho sopn grew as fat as a little pig, good natured. and contented. "I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk, instead of my usual indi gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night. "I grew plump, nerves strong, and when 1 wrote my brain was active and clear; indeed, the dull head pain never returned." POSTUM CEREAL CO., Ltd., BatMe Creek, Mich.
