Thought He Head It They wanted from the young emocrat an admisssion that he was lually without conclusive knowlge that Brookhart was a "paid bbyist” for farm organizations—lother intimation of his. Steck ought he had read something to is effect in the newspapers. Proice the newspapers, he was told. : he committge ir. -t at a special seson !*Tid after a delay Steck ap- ! iared, much embarrassed, with an j (mission that his secretary had en u'nabfe to find the newspaper.

Mussolini Eats to, Aid His Nerves

Morgan, Rome manager of the United Press. Each article in this series has been personally revised, corrected and approved by Premier Mussolini.) The problem of nourishment is one which the ndividual must solve for himself. Experience has taught me just what and how much I should eat. I know the penalty for overeating. AVe pay for it in lack of vigor, reduction of energy and in wear and tear of the body cells. It limy carry with it. too. a multitude of ills, beginning with indigestion and including some of the most troublesome of ailments. Modern man eats too much. In general, he takej little thought of the changed conditions of life resulting from modern civilization. He indulges its a primitive man would if the latter were transplanted from his primitive habitat to the tihun.iance of a modern table. The needs of primitive man were physical. Much of the work of today is brain work and machinery has greatly reduced the demands on the physical body. The changed habits of life to meet our overchanging civilization must, in turn, be met by a changed diet to respond to the needs which the changed conditions impose. AVe can not gorge primitively and. work modernly any more than we can work primitively and cat wiiat modern man should. In my other problems of diet, I have been guided largely by what experience has taught me. I am not a physician and do not give out titles of general application by which everyone should lx? guided. 1 have studied my own particular case and 1 what foods agree with me and give me the greatest not results in health and productivity.

CHANGE BANDITRY CHARGE TO THEFT Harold De Witt Will Face Larceny Count. Harold DeAA'itt, 24, of GJ7 Coffey St., said to be one of the "Chrysler roadster bandits,” who held up over a dozen filling stations and pedestrians over the State, was bound over to the grand jury Tuesday afternoon on a charge of robbery. He is being held under $3,000 bond. Municipal Judge Paul C. AVctter dropped charges of vagrancy and auto banditry against De A\ r itt, saying that De AVitt was guilty only of grand larceny. De AVitt was arrested after a search of about five weeks, following the arrest of Forrest Strother, 18, of 1906 Ruckle St., and Forrest Smith, 25, of 329 E. Tenth St., said to be members of the same group. Strother was bound over to the grand jury a week ago on charges of auto banditry and robbery, while Smith is awaiting removal to Evansville for trial. Mrs. Anna Shortridge, 702 N. Alabama St., an employe of the Armacost Automobile Company, North St. and Capitol Ave., said De AATtt and Strother were two of the men who Nov. 30, held her up at North St. and Capitol Ave. and robbed her of $155 of the company’s money. AXLE BREAKS; ONE HURT Part of flu lining Gear of Street Car Crashes Through Floor. James Slieeley, 49, of 3604 E. Twenty-Eighth St., was injured in an unusual accident early today. He was taken to the city hospital by police, where injuries to his right leg were treated. Motorpolicemen Norman and Caldwell say a rear axle of Stock Yards street car broke at Kentucky Ave. and Morris St., and crashed through the floor, striking Sheeley.

I I am not an expert on nutrition. I | do not know the intricacies of the j chemical and physiological reactions, I hut I do know the general effects of I the various foods, especially on myself. It is therefore in the light of this experience that I discipline my eating that it may serve me to the enhancement of my mental and -physical faculties, rather than that I should serve it at the painful cost .of ailment and lethargy. He Eats for the Nerves AA'e have advanced so far that we | can choose our food with reference to our needs. The brain-worker’s needs differ from those of the manual worker. The former requires nerve nourishment; the latter, muscle sustenance. The brain worker can defeat the ends for which he ! eats by unwise choices and large ; quantities. The stomach must not |be overtaxed. The blood rushes to those parts of the body where work is being done. If hard work is required of the stomach, it requisitions the blood In this ,extra effort. The brain is then left impoverished and operates only with partial efficiency until it. in turn, can muster sufficient blood to meet the particular requirements. 1 therefore seek a diet making hut small demands on the physique but permitting generous assistance to the nervous system and tho brain. To begin with. 1 deny myself coffee and wine. Coffe is never served me at any meal. I perfectly agree with those who regard it as a drug. It is a stimulant compelling by Us action a useless nervous effort result, and is no concrete good either for the system or in aiding productivity. Even at breakfast, I will not allow j myself coffee. It is never served jme after dinner. My lone glass of milk in the morning is the perpetual and changeless breakfast. My big meal comes at two. It Is | big in proportion to my other metis, i but a mere snack compared with the ! lavish array of fancy courses served , in the ordinary home of high estate.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FIREMEN BATTLE DOWNTOWN FIRE FORTWOHOURS All Apparatus Within Mile of Business District Answer Alarm. Batting against weather hazards, firemen fought for two hours against a blaze at the AV. H. Johnson & Sons Company, 330 E. St. Joseph St., early today. The tiro started at 1:30 a. m. The fire was confined to the rear half of the building and the loss was $7,500, according to firemen. AH apparatus within a mile of the downtown district responded to the second alarm, sounded by Battalion Chief Itoscoe McKinney. Richard Shirley, president of the company, and_ R. E. Porter, vice president, today worked with fire officials endevoring to find the origin. Although firemen estimated the damages at $7,500, company officials said it will reach $15,000. The building, two stories high and a half block long, is 150 feet wide. The office, in the front of the loiyer floor, was not damaged except for smoke. The remainder qf the two floors were filled with machinery, which was damaged by water. Shirley and Porter could not estimate the full damage. An electric wiring fire caused a SIOO loss at the AV. N. AA'ard, vulcanizing shop, 601 N. Illinois St., during the night. The eptire down town apparatus responded to an alarm from the AV H. Block Company where a smoking flue was found. An overheated furnace at the home of Fred Long, 712 E. FiftyFirst St., caused a fire damage of SSOO. The blaze was inside the center wall and firemen were forced to tear it out to extinguish the blaze. SCHOOL HEADS RENAMED Vomiegut Elected President Again— Commissioner Johnson 111. The reorganization meeting of the school board Tuesday night resulted in the re-election of the 1926 officers. Committee appointments for 1927 will be announced at the meeting. Theodore F. A’onnegut was reelected president; Mrs. Lillian Sedw.ick, vice president, and Martin M. Hugg was rechosen board attorney. Fred Bates Johnson, who has been ill for several weeks was unable to attend. Other members are: Charles AV. Kearn and Charles R. Yoke. BIRTH RECORD TORONTO. Jan. 12.—The town of Chicoutimi In the province of Quebec is said to hold the highest birth rate record in the world. According to vital statistics for 1925 the record was 65.09 births per 1,000 population. AA r estmount, a nearby suburb of Montreal, showed the opposite tendency, the birth rate being 6.60 per 1,000.

I take but one dish and that dish is composed of the simplest possibble ingredients. The cooking is simple, —there are no sauces, gravies, dressings or other elaborate fixings. There is a small piece of meat, plain roasted or fried, or a small piece of fish, boiled or fried. There are green vegetables,—either some spinach, peas, green beans or celery, simply boiled In water, never dressy In a fancy way nor splattered with butter. The simpler this food is cooked the better it conserves its nourishment. There is never a dessert. After the one dish, I may take an apple or a pear, but nothing more. Cook Makes Own Menu Cesira, my cook, who is the only servant I have and who performs the manifold functions of maid, waitress and those of any other domestics, knows how simple everything has to be. She never attempts to show her culinary skill by producing elaborate dishes, choosing rather to subordinate her art to the stern desires of her master. She never discusses the dishes with me. She never inquires what I would like. She makes her own menu from the very limited range of meat, fish and vegetables which I have decided render me the most nourishmen for my particular, organism. The one dish contains enough to keep me at my task in the best condition. I eat more fish than meat. It is a great nerve food. It does not tax digestion nor impede my energy. I insist on being ready for work at till times. Frugality of diet is absolutely necessary for the maintenance 'of an alert and responsive spirit. Big meals can only retard the physical and mental processes. Big meals with their attendant physiological reaction are qnly conducive to inaction and dullness. I consider our"great Italian dishes such as macaroni, ravioli, spaghetti, etc. very toothsome. Our entire Italian cuisine is delicious, but like all tlie others, it must he indulged in with due regard to conditions. Macaroni is an excellent food and

food which I really enjoy, but it is not especially adapted for me. Macaroni is a great muscle builder. It has proven its worth as one of the chief foods of a vast part of our population engaged in the heavy physical toil of the fields and workshops. Milk is one of my principal foods. I take four glasses daily. One at breakfast, another at two, one at six, while in the Palazzo Chigi at work, and the last at ten o'clock at night. The nutriment in milk is too well known to allow of comment. From the infant to the aged it serves mankind, offering him practically all ho needs in his daily grind. It is a food almost sufficient for any eventuality. For the great mass of our people, bread is still “the staff of life." It is the one food upon which millions and millions of them depend almost entirely for their existence. It provides the manual worker with the fuel necessary for his arduous physical tasks. For the brain-worker, it is not so efficacious and should therefore lie eaten in moderate quantities. I eat bread sparingly, finding that it requires prolonged physical effort to work off, while at the same time it does not enhance the active functioning of the organs of mental labor, on which the great hulk of my work depends. Italian Bread Standardized AA'o have succeeded in improving our bread in Italy at a great saving in the cost. AA'e were faced with the problem of importing a large part of our wheat from abroad and set out scientifically to find a bread which would serve tf?e needs of our people and. at the same time, solve the question of Italy's limited pocketbook. The bread we eat now is of a standard quality. There is not one kind for the workingman, and another kind for the rich. Fancy bread lias been abolished. The new bread is made of coarser flour and is very nutritious. It is brown in color, resembling the whole wheat bread o's America. The white breads

PLEA OF HIGHWAY BODY IS FROWNED UPON BY MEMBERS ; Request for $20,000 Annual Budget by Director May Meet Failure. That, the budget committee will recommend that the budget request of Director John A\ r illiams of the highway department be turned down was indicated today. Members frown upon the idea of asking the Legislature for $20,000,000 annually for two years and also upon the salary raise ofthe director, which is already in force. Members feel that the fund now going to the counties should remain there, rather than being turned over to the State at large, as AVilliams recommended. It is understood that they A ill approve of Jhe present plan in their recommendations to the Legislature. AVilliams has appeared in person liefore the committee and defended his requests.

were of too fine a texture. Our new bread is compatible both with digestion and witli the functions of the intestines to a much greater degree than the fine white bread, which sometimes caused prolonged ailments very difficult to diagnose. Our new bread has been received by all classes of the people with great enthusiasm and never has a suggestion been made to return to the fine bread, nor even a proposal advanced to allow the making ot white bread in special cases, such as in the hotels, where a large number of tourists flock every year. Our new bread is just as popular with the tourists as amongst our people. My lunch at two being my principal meal, what 1 eat in the evening can hardly he called a meal. At ten o’clock, after all the work is done, I sit at table. Cesira has served me a glass of milk and dish of fruit. I take an apple or a pear and drink the milk arm'Trhe day's feasting is at an end. AA'ith this sparing diet, the brain is kept clear and healthy and is nourished in proportion to its needs; the body is not taxed with excess food, harassed by putrefying poisons nor overburdened with accumulating fat. My one hour daily of violent physical exercise works off any surplus before it has had a chance io show itself. Daily the routine of diet ami exercise has so disciplined my system that it calls for simple rations and no more. My hunger craves only that which I allow It to crave. All my organs, responding to the daily cycle I have devised, perform their functions with clocklike regularity. The mastery of the physical is attained by the unrelenting practice of sound habit. In tlie next article by Premier Mussolini, to appear in tomorrow’s Times, lie tells of the value of silence. He describes tlie voluminous speech-making which was so much a part of Italian ixditical life before his regime and the scant attention devoted to talk at present.

HE’S DEAD, ACTUALLY, LEGALLY Gallows Ends Strange Three Weeks in Life of Woman’s Slayer. 81l United Press HAMILTON, Ontario. Jan. 12. — John Barty, already legally deerd, died in actuality today. Ho was hanged at the AVontworth county jail for the murder of Mrs. Nancy Cook, an Ontario woman, whom lie beat to death with a hammer. The execution ended a strange three weeks in the life Os Barty and in the history of Ontario courts. He was scheduled to be hanged three weeks ago. The night before, the gallows were prepared and Borty taken to the death house. But Justice Lennox of the Appellate Court signed a stay of execution despite the fact that all other members of the court refused. Tfo sheriff canceled the execution and then announced that lie believed a mistake had been made, that Justice Lennox had no jurisdiction and his order was not legal. Therefore, said the sheriff, Barty had ceased to exist legally at the moment set for his hanging, although the hanging did not Lake place.
