SOMETHING THAT WILL INTEREST THE TOPER The most efficient factor in temperance evolution is the development of individual total abstinence from stimulant beverages. This abstinence is most surely attained when the taste for liquor is eradicated. The object of the Keeley cure, the gold cure, or any other of the advertised cures for inebriety is to create an aversion to liquor through associating it with some disagreeable drug, whose presence is known only by its resulting nausea. Sometimes these cures are permanently effective, but more often they are not. The morbid appetite is liable to return. There is, however, a surer method to allay or prevent the morbid craving for stimulants. It is easy, inexpensive, wholesome and effective. It is simply to eat plenty of ruit. It has been remarked that no hearty fruit eater ever became a drunkard. The juices and acids of ripe fruit furnish a wholesome excitant to the secretions, they are grateful to the taste and helpful to nutrition. When Aggaziz was once appealed to for a contribution to aid a temperance movement, he replied that if the money was to be expended in vineyards and orchards he would give liberally, but he had little faith in exhortations against appetite. A practical lesson can be drawn from these hygienic facts. Make the diet largely of fruit. Let the fruit dish be on the table at every meal, loaded

with ripe, uncooked fruit —whether of tropical or temperate growth matters not so much. Eat it, and encourage children to eat it, not sparingly, but abundantly. It will prevent the formation of a morbid appetite craving for stimulants. Less meat and more vegetables are also advantageous. Not only does the plentiful use of fruit guard against the craving for stimulants, but it wards off constipation. Certainly appies, grapes and oranges are more pleasant to take than calomel, salts or castor oil. Therefore, eat fruit. —South Bend Times.

HE COMES MONDAY Redkey Man Will Train Horses at Steele’s Park HE HAS SIX Already Which Will Be Given Training—Hard Task

Earl Phillips, well known over this section of the country as a race horse man, will arrive in the city Monday morning to begin training race horses at Steele’s park. Mr. Phillips has had much experience in th s line of work and as an evidence of his ability he has already secured six horses, which he will train. Mr. Thomas Baltzell has ordered the track put into condition and the same will be in good trim when the Redkey man arrives. The training of race horses is no easy task, and no doubt many people will visit the park during the exhibitions. It is understood that several young horses will be given thorough tryouts by the trainer, and in all probability some very fast horses will be uncovered. Mr. Phillips will remain here all summer, and he will be kept busy until the races begin.

NO RING FIGHTERS INDICTED Jury Could Not Determine That Boxing Contests Were Held. South Bend, Ind., May 7. —The St. Joseph circuit grand jury returned five indictments in its report today, but none of them was for alleged prize fighting. The case in which the names of Mark Thistlethwaite figured so extensively because of the action of Prosecutor Cyrus E. Pattee in having subpoenas issued for the governor and his secretary, is at an end as far as the local authorities are concerned. Pattee will make a report on the outcome of the investigation direct to the governor. It is said the grand jury had no trouble ih finding that boxing bouts were held, but that it could not be determined whether purses were offered. It is also said there was much effort to ascertain whether the bouts were ever called “prize fights.’’

SISTER MARY SOLINA IS DEAD Had Taught in Fort Wayne Over Forty Years. A life devoted to the cause of religion and education came to an end at Srt. Joseph's hospital at noon Friday when Sister Mary Solina, for fortytwo years a teacher in St. Marys Catholic school, pased into eternity. Her death followed an operation for the removal of gallstones, to which she submitted Thursday morning. She had been ill for several days, suffering extreme agony and her age and the weakness incident to her illness rendered her incapab'e of sustaining the shock of the operation. Thousands of Fort Wayne men, women and children will mourn the death of this pious woman, whose life had been one of self sacrifice and arduous labor in the cause of education and Christianity. Her long service as an educator had made her the patroness of two generations of Fort Wayne people, and persons past middle age,who received instructions from her, as well as children of tender years, are grieving over the death, the first tidings of which were announced by the tolling of the bell of St. Marys church. Sister M. Solina was known in the world as Miss Bosch, but she forsook the world white yet in her girlhood and became a member of the cloistered order of Notre Dame, one of the most rigid religious orders of the Catholic church. For nearly half a century she had devoted herself to the training of youth, and forty-two years of her efforts were given to Fort Wayne. Sister M. Solina was born in Constance, Baden, Germany, April 23, 1841, and in 1854, at the age of thirteen she was brought to America by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bosch. They located in New York city, where she was educated. At the age of twenty-two she entered the order of school sisters of Notre Dame, whose American mother house It in Milwaukee. In 1868 she was sent to teach in St. Marys school in this city, and this had been her home ever since.—Fort Wayne JournalGazette.
